Great to have vegan options that aren't an afterthought - Edit
Cute and quirky restaurant with a separate vegan menu. Great options that are flavourful and well thought out. Our waiter Paul was excellent and advised us on how much to order (we were going to order way too much 😂). The Queso Fundido, Taquitos and Artichoke taco were all outstanding.

Disappointing experience - Edit
I wish I could rate the food, but we got ignored and left without having an order taken for far too long, so left (after paying a ridiculous amount for one margarita). The venue was loud, and clearly set up for Instagram pics - style over substance. The tacos coming out to other tables looked pretty small for the price. I had been really looking forward to going here, so my experience was a big disappointment. Maybe try it if you’re more interested in taking photos, than being served.
Read moreEdit April 2024 - gave it another go and actually tried the food this time. We got shown to a table and had our order taken quickly. Most food came out fast but we were almost about to leave when the taco (just one for $15!) finally arrived. Food was too expensive for what you got.

Absolutely delicious - Edit
We visited tonight (April 2024), I understand they have recently changed their menu. The food was absolutely outstanding, this is the best Mexican food I have had in New Zealand- particularly for vegan offering.
Read moreThey have a separate vegan menu which is well thought out, with incredible flavours - no need to substitute anything or feel as though you are missing out (because you definitely arent). Service was also excellent and food came fast - I would give five stars if I could.
Recommend the taquitos, artichoke taco, and the hippie nachos. 10/10 divine! They also have great hot sauces of varying spice levels.

Absolutely delicious! - Edit
Good selection of vegan food to choose from. They have an updated menu as of April 2024. We had the vegan fajitas which were divine! Also great options for non-vegans. Staff were very friendly and food came very quick.

Pretty good - Edit
A number of vegan options. We got the queso and chips which was good but wasn't overly impressed with the tacos. Lacking a little bit of flavour.

So freakin yum - Edit
It’s the best place we’ve eaten at in Queenstown. Actually one of the best place I’ve eaten at ever.
Read moreThe food and the service is 10/10. We got the Vegan set menu which is “a bit of everything”. Delicious and “Value for money” is an understatement.
Even the design of the menu is good and it’s all colour coded for dietary requirements.

Can’t fault it - Edit
Super friendly staff, pointed the fully vegan section of the menu before even knowing we were vegan and altered one of the non vegan drinks to become vegan for me. Plates are designed to share so ends up being well priced. We got a taco, the nachos and a drink each and that was too much. The kai was well balanced and so tasty.

SO UNBELIEVABLY GOOD - Edit
We had the absolute best time here! There were lots of vegan options and we tried almost all of them! We had the tortilla chips with red and green dips which were very tasty, taquitos were delicious and possibly my favourite dish, artichoke tacos were yum, mushroom fajitas were sooooo good and the vegan cheese nachos were good but we were pretty full by then. The staff were all very friendly and we had a lovely evening!

Delicious! - Edit
Absolutely stuffed myself cos I wanted to try everything. Staff are very knowledgeable and helpful. I shared a few dishes with my friend, my favourite was the crispy artichoke taco. The mushroom nachos were a bit more standard than the other dishes and a tad too salty for me but still really tasty. The dessert was also delicious.
Read moreThe ambience is very loud without any soft furnishings to absorb the din. There was also a big eruption of noise as the music got really loud, the staff sang and banged instruments and pots for a customer's birthday. It was funny after we realized what was happening, I guess it's just something they do for fun but it was very intense. I imagine it would be very unpleasant for anyone with a sound sensitivity.
Overall I loved my experience there. My non-vegan friend was also really happy with all the vegan dishes. It is a popular spot so make sure to book a table, it took us a few tries to get a spot.
Pros: Lots of vegan options, Knowledgeable friendly staff, Cosy atmosphere
Cons: Noisy, Requires booking ahead

Proper mexican fajita - Edit
Huuuge portions! Very vibey place with friendly staff. I had the vegan fajita which came out sizzling hot and hit the spot. Best to go here with company so can share the food and explore more of the options. I went early evening but got the impression it gets quite busy during peak hours so may wish to book in advance.

5 stars! ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ - Edit
I really wish I could give this restaurant 5 stars!
Read moreThey offer a very thought out seperate vegan menu which has a lovely selection of Mexican inspired dishes. They even have a fully labelled drinks menu!
The food was absolutely amazing! I was very impressed with the flavours and freshness of all the dishes we had. . . and each dish had a unique flare which made them stand out from regular Mexican dishes.
The vegans in our group had the smashed avocado guacamole, spiced kumara enchilada and the highlight of my night the bad hombre style fried mushroom fajitas which were absolutely mouth-watering! You should definitely try it! For dessert we shared a cashew cheesecake which was disappointing after such amazing mains.
The staff were the best I’ve seen in a very long time. Our server was not only friendly and genuine but was very knowledgeable of the menu items. He actually looked like he wanted to be there!
The restaurant was buzzing with people and had a lovely atmosphere.
Pros: Vegan menu - food / drinks , Fantastic, attentive, friendly staff , Delicious food
Cons: A little pricy - especially the drinks

Decent vegan options - Edit
Good vegan options. Enjoyed the banana blossom taco, but wasn't a massive fan of the enchiladas (basically like eating walnuts).

Best vegan taco I’ve ever had - Edit
Went to Margo’s for my birthday dinner with a large group of friends. I chose them because they had a separate vegan menu while my friends enjoyed food from the main menu. There were lots of options to choose from. I ordered the kumara & walnut enchiladas which were filling, but the best was the banana blossom taco. Absolutely delicious!! Fast & friendly service. Highly recommend

Amazing vegan vibes - Edit
The food is honestly the best vegan food I’ve tasted in queenstown. The venue is beautiful with fairy lights and candles and the staff were so friendly and amazing.
Read moreThey have a whole menu called “vegan vibes” with quite a few options. Would definitely recommend the smoked mushroom taco and the sweet potato taquitos. Everything is so fresh and all the dishes come beautifully presented and so colourful.
Pros: Whole menu dedicated to vegan “vegan vibes” , Supper accommodating staff, explain every dish, Food is so tasty and so colourful
Cons: Best to book a table as it’s super busy
