If you're after a fragrant, fresh and super tasty feast this is the place. We enjoyed a selection of tacos, all of which were great. Serves were generous and value was excellent. It's a small place with a cool vibe. Highly recommendend the frozen marg!

By far the best Mexican I have had. Everything was sooooooooo good. Tried the tacos, nachos, churros. And they were all amazing. Gluten free was a great bonus

A hole in the wall that packs a big punch! The tacos, nachos & churros were excellent. Being vegetarian, we don’t get options but there were plenty of delicious ones for us to chose from. Will definitely return the next time we visit.

Taco medic is in a little lane way with a fun, food truck vibe. Taco outlets in NZ are not common so this was something different. Food was ok but considering price vs quantity vs quality it didn't add up after a long day of...being active. I had to get my Germany husband food after cause he was still hungry after three tacos for $28.More

Ok. I'm very spoiled living in LA. TexMex and Tacos are the best outside of Mexico there imo. When to Taco Medic for a quick lunch. Ordred the bowl. There were 3 people in front of me still I had to wait almost 30 minutes...to get my food. I ordered a bowl which by now means looked like any other "bowl" I've had the last couple of years. This was a paper box with cabbage in the bottom and lots of dressing/sauce (?) and a few pieces of over salted fish on top. They seemed stressed out and there was all sorts of chaos with drinks not being restocked, the chef setting his timer for 2 hours instead of 2 minutes... I wanted to love this place based on all great reviews but I was terribly disappointed. Didn't even finish my meal.More

Hi - yes, the hot bit is the sauce on the top, so you just don't put it on! Just tell the guys you don't like hot and you'll be good.
