WELCOME
Wanaka is where the Amigos story began.
After first opening in 1995 at a different site, our Mexican restaurant moved to its current home at 71 Ardmore Street in 2013. Since then, it has continued to evolve through a number of renovations, while Wānaka has remained the original home of Amigos as we’ve grown across the South Island.
With a sunny deck and stunning mountain views, Amigos Wanaka has become a favourite gathering place for both locals and visitors. These days, we’re even serving the grandchildren of some of our original customers, a reminder of just how long Amigos has been part of the community.
What our amigos have to say
“I was here for dinner last night, and I loved it so much I came back for lunch today. Nachos are superb, and the guacamole is outstanding. Great homemade chips. Lovely service and good prices. A winner! And a stunning view of the mountains from my table :)”
“Absolutely loved this Mexican place in Wanaka! Super vegetarian-friendly — not your usual beans–rice–salsa combo. The dishes were full of flavour, with yummy roasted veggies and wholesome portions that felt hearty and satisfying. The rustic vibe paired with the beautiful lake view made it even more special. A must-visit if you’re after something fresh, soulful, and delicious in Wanaka!“
“Went here on Sunday night for the first time and enjoyed the food so much we came back the following Tuesday, Taco Tuesday with all tacos $7 each! I highly recommend the Carnitas, Doble Loco and Falda Y Queso. And the drinks are good too! My wife is vegetarian and had the Halloumi and Coliflor which she enjoyed. I definitely recommend this place and will be back!”
