WELCOME
Amigos Alexandra opened in 2018 in a building with plenty of stories to tell.
Once home to both a post office and a bank, the historic building on Tarbert Street still carries reminders of its past and has become one of our most distinctive Mexican restaurants.
Guests can spot the original vault door, more than a foot thick, on the way to the bathrooms, along with the old “Pay Here” sign still hanging near the till. From the sideways schist cladding to the character-filled interior, there’s history in every corner.
The Alexandra restaurant helped inspire our love for finding unique buildings with a story to tell — something that has shaped the Amigos locations that have followed.
What our amigos have to say
“Great food and excellent service , I’ve been coming to amigos Alexandra regularly for a while now and it never misses a beat , super friendly and fast service and a great taco Tuesday deal!
Can’t miss it worth every dollar.”
“Excellent service and great food. The best calamari in the world! Great Quesadillas, Rib-eye steak and Churros, we enjoyed it thoroughly. Unfortunately we had to pass on Margaritas, as we had to hit the road for a long drive, but it’s highly recommended place to go to when in Alexandra.”
“Friendly staff and atmosphere, along with delicious food. Tricky to get authentic Mexican anywhere in NZ, but the food here is fresh and tasty. Great fried chicken, and the nachos are gigantic. Great hot sauces too.”
You’ll find Amigos Alexandra at 66 Tarbert Street, close to the centre of town and just a short walk from Pioneer Park. With street parking directly outside and easy access from around Alexandra, it’s a handy spot for lunch, dinner or a few tacos and margaritas with friends.
