Mexicali Fresh, Auckland

When in Auckland last week I was looking for a place for lunch in downtown Auckland. I had remembered walking past Mexicali Fresh the day before and decided to go in and have a look. I was so excited when I saw that the restaurant had a definition of gluten and listed all of its gluten free options on a TV screen.The gluten free options  are all dishes that aren’t served in flour tortillas. I therefore decided to have the chicken nachos with all of the toppings ( you pay an extra $1 to have guacamole however you can have as much spicy or mild salsa as you would like from the self serve area) and a bottomless soda (I was thirsty from walking around the shops all morning!).My gluten free nachosThe nachos were delicious. I often find at these places that you get a heap of chips and not many toppings but this wasn’t the case. It was a huge meal and highly satisfying.The restaurant is very funky with all different coloured chairs which catch your eye!The Mexicali Fresh in Auckland CBDThe counter at Mexicali Fresh, Auckland CBDI enjoyed my meal so much that I went to Mexicali Fresh for dinner another day while I was in Auckland and once again ordered the chicken nachos.Do you have a favourite restaurant you go to over and over again?
