    The major highlight at this establishment is undoubtedly the ambiance. Despite the small dining area, the place exudes a cozy charm that makes it a perfect setting for a relaxed night out. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, and the intimate space adds to the overall comfort. A special mention for their friendliness. Their welcoming attitude added a pleasant touch to the evening, making us feel well taken care of throughout our visit. We found the seating arrangement a bit awkward for group gatherings. The small space might not be ideal for people looking for a more spacious setting. A place worth considering if you prioritize ambiance and a laid-back vibe. Ideal for a casual evening with friends or a small gathering, I'd rate it a 4/5 for the overall enjoyable experience.

    This was a good experience! Food was absolutely tasty leaving you wanting more. Which is a good thing at the same time meaning we didn't order enough. Besides the small portions I thoroughly enjoyed my time here as the service was great and the waiter always asked how we were and our son who was with us. All in all will return 🥳

    Terrible Service, the old Indian guy is extremely rude and tried to argue with my partner who is a high end bartender about quality of drinks, the amount of syrup they use make them almost undrinkable, I felt sick after a few sips. On their booking form you can add dietary requirements, we selected that me and my partner are both vegan, this was not catered for AT ALL with them bringing us potatoes covered in aioli, we waited 1 hour for these. Eventually after the Indian man being extremely rude to us both we asked for the meal to be takeaway because I had a panic attack and had to leave, we understand staff shortages as we have both worked in hospitality, however no one should be made to feel how we felt. I hope the owners/Managers can take this as constructive criticism and adjust their service ***** edit To reply to the below, my partner did not ask for the recipe, he simply asked how much sugar syrup was used as it tasted like half the drink was made of pure sugar I was only pointing out ethnicity and age as the other staff who served us were actually pretty kind and understanding so do not want to get them into trouble at all.

    Had an awesome time, staff were so lovely and accommodating. Even coming out with Sombrero whilst singing happy birthday for my daughter. That was a lovely suprise.

    I have returned here because the food is always on point. This time took the family and the kids had no complaints. The service could be more attentive and let down a bit by atmosphere - Mexican so play Latin music not some jarring pop which we had to endure for the first half hour. Also I went with a birthday club voucher with $20 off which T&C says book online. Yet no one had seen the booking, sorted in the end. If you know someone is coming in for a birthday do something, anything a little special for them would be my advice.

    How wonderful it is to find your new favourite restaurant. From the moment we entered the welcoming and warm vibe was apparent. We were seated in the group tables at the back that are vibrantly decorated and gives a taste of Mexico. The servers were absolutely amazing, a great asset to the restaurant. They are professional and very personable. The food was exquisite, you can really taste all the wonderful flavours and spices. Would definitely recommend the fajitas! It comes out on a sizzling skillet and is definitely a show stopper. Amazing restaurant that ticks all the boxes!

    Service was friendly, and food arrived quickly on a reasonably busy Sunday afternoon. I had 3 tacos and a margarita, and was very happy with the serving sizes, and all the food was delicious. Recommend going with friends to share things like tacos around. Decor is nice, and there's a decent amount of space indoors and outdoors. Definitely a recommend for lunch on a sunny day with mates.

    I had been looking forward to this, had read and heard great things. Whilst I can not say anything bad about the food, the ambience etc was dull. Zero vibe, I actually thought the place was closed when we rocked up. As I walked I there was a young girl sitting on once of the picnic benches right at the entry… bum on the table top where food is placed. I thought she was a member of the public, but no she worked there. Worst first impression. Also really flipping gross to have your bum on a place where food is served, not to mention super culturally offensive and super unprofessional. If I wasn’t so hungry I would if turned round and left. She quickly stood up, asked if we had a booking, and wandered in. The other young lady asked if we had a booking and asked if we wanted to sit inside or out. It was so dark inside that we chose outside, no music, no atmosphere. The food was fabulous, the service made you feel like you had to eat and run. I doubt I’ll be back. There are better Mexican restaurants out there. Wednesday 26 oct 615 booking

    From out of town but so glad that we chose this stop for our dinner. We are vegetarian and what a delight to have more than one option to select from. We chose the tortilla and it was divine! Lovely welcome and service, and what a bonus to be there on the two for one meal day! We’ll come again next time we’re in town for sure!

    This Mexican restaurant was a real joy to find. Sunny aspect and well sheltered from the winter weather. I stopped here for lunch after some business meetings and retail therapy. The Al Pastor Tacos & Rosado made a great combo. The chilli in the taco was a little over the top. Just a squeeze of lime juice was required to make it muy bien. Nice to have a place like Flying Burrito Bros to relax. 4 🌟 from me.

    First time eating at this place. Thought the layout was nice and clean, good ambience with chill Mexican music in the background. Staff was pretty welcoming, might need to smile a little bit though, but they were all good. Food came out quick (not too busy when we got there) and tasted good! I can remember the names of all the dishes but there were jalapenos, chicken, ceviche, nachos, soft tacos and quesadillas. Tasty Mexican spices and extra hot sauce on the side. Personally thought it was little on the high side price wise but would go back again.

    Was here for my pre birthday celebration 🎂. The staff provided us with a top notch service. Also, we were given sombreros to put on. Especially - Tanya who was very friendly and made sure everything was in place. The food is definitely a 5/5. We ordered several dishes including Vegetarian. I personally loved the Chicken Croquettes. Highly recommended place for Mexican Food.!

    I’ve been here countless times, intimate dinners, in big groups, takeaways … you name it! I travel all the way from West Auckland for this place and the food and service is always fantastic. I cannot get enough of their great food, drinks and desserts! I will keep coming back no doubt! see you next time team 😋

  • 5/5 Stella B. 2 years ago on Google
    Always a 5 star experience!! From drinks to desserts we were well looked after and enjoyed the decor and outdoor seating they had to offer. Recently its been hard to find such good mexican food especially among all these small taco joints but this place never disappoints 😍

  • 4/5 David A. 8 months ago on Google
    The family had a great dinner. Service was good if a bit confused at times. Atmosphere was pleasant but not a real Mexican vibe compared to other Mexican can places.

  • 3/5 Emma H. 1 year ago on Google
    Chili con queso is the drawcard here. Always a winner, hot, cheesy with a bit of a kick.

  • 5/5 Dr Helen S. 9 months ago on Google
    Really excellent place to eat. Great speedy service. Had my birthday dinner there with 7 of us Sat night. Food and service superb. I had the beef fajita, other friends the burrito, quesadilas, enchiladas, nachos all great meals and topped off with a tasty dessert. Parked in Broadway parking station. Definitely would go again and recommend.

  • 4/5 Tania L. 9 months ago on Google
    Did the bottomless brunch. We all had the nachos which were yum. Drinks were good too! Sangria, Tiger beer and Tequila sunrise. Paid 64.99 pp for 1.5hr sitting. A bit on the expensive side but made sure we had our money's worth in drinks. Would come back here for sure.

  • 4/5 Punahouora M. 11 months ago on Google
    Enjoyed the bottomless but did not have much of a drink variety. Service was absolutely great though. We were running late but I called ahead and we were able to start our bottomless once we arrived which was fantastic. Some places are really strict with time keeping but FFB were flexible and accommodating!

  • 2/5 molly 10 months ago on Google
    The service wasn’t great for my birthday bottomless brunch - staff almost appeared to ignore some of my guests and we waited for about 5-10 mins for our drinks after ordering but possibly due to short staffing. Some of the staff were nice and some were alittle passive. The drinks were very watered down and sweet. Overall experience for the bottomless was not worth $64 - positive side note the sharing entrees were incredible!!!

  • 5/5 Marjhori M. 1 year ago on Google
    Everything is awesome. Cocktails, margaritas, mexican food love it and warm execelent service! Me and my friends had fun so we are planning to come back for another drinks 😊

    I recently had the pleasure of experiencing the legendary bottomless brunch at Flying Burrito Brothers Newmarket, and it was an absolute feast for the senses! From the moment we stepped inside, we were greeted with warm smiles and a vibrant atmosphere that set the stage for an unforgettable dining experience. As a group of 10, we were promptly seated and immediately welcomed with a delightful trio of starters. The combination of crispy tortilla chips, salsa, and the delectable black bean dip was a flavour explosion in every bite. The freshness of the ingredients was apparent, and it was the perfect way to kick off our afternoon. For my main course, I opted for the chicken nachos, and boy, was I in for a treat! The nachos were a work of art, featuring crispy tortilla chips piled high with tender, seasoned chicken, melted cheese, and a symphony of colourful toppings. The dish was a harmonious blend of textures, flavours and cheeses, leaving me craving more with each mouthwatering bite. It was clear that Flying Burrito Brothers takes great pride in delivering exceptional food that satisfies even the most discerning palates. To drink we had the red sangria and it flowed abundantly. It was a true delight. The rich, fruity notes of the sangria perfectly complemented the bold and vibrant flavours of the Mexican cuisine. Sipping on the refreshing sangria transported me to a tropical paradise, and it truly added an extra layer of enjoyment to the brunch. The Tequila Sunrises were equally impressive, expertly crafted and served with a smile. What impressed us the most was the astonishing speed at which our drinks arrived. Despite our large group of 10, the attentive and efficient staff made sure our glasses were never empty. They went above and beyond to ensure that our dining experience was flawless, catering to our every need with genuine warmth and professionalism. The service, it was truly outstanding. The staff at Flying Burrito Brothers exemplified the meaning of hospitality. They were attentive, knowledgeable, and had a genuine passion for delivering an exceptional dining experience. Our group felt welcomed and cared for throughout the entire meal, creating an atmosphere of warmth and camaraderie that enhanced our enjoyment. In summary, Flying Burrito Brothers Newmarket has earned its stellar reputation for a reason. With its amazing food, delightful drinks, and exceptional service, it's a must-visit destination for brunch enthusiasts and Mexican food lovers alike. Our group of 10 left with full bellies and unforgettable memories. I cannot recommend Flying Burrito Brothers enough, and I'm already planning my next visit to this culinary paradise.

    Friendly staff. Nice atmosphere. The food is delicious but too greasy.

  • 5/5 Doddy D. 1 year ago on Google
    Lovely food - heaps to choose from, very tasty cocktails and super friendly staff. Huge props to the only two girls who were on due to staff shortages - lots of diners including our table of 8 - managing orders, cocktail and drinks making, getting the food out - all with huge smiles. Def worth a visit here!

    A very classy authentic Mexican restaurant. A warm welcoming, followed by an excellent service, with a lot of attention to details on order to please you. I took at first a Nachos, the beef was excellent. With that I took a glass of the local red wine. Somewhat surprising, it does not taste like anything I have already drunk, but I kinda liked it. Then I took chicken Fajita with house made Chipotle sauce (!). No word to say that it was awesome. The service always with a smile and very patient with us. Conclusion, if you have the opportunity to go eat there, do not hesitate !

    Really disappointed with the food. Came here in the weekend and had the guacamole, fried chicken tacos and pulled pork quesadillas. The food was bland, not flavourful and it seemed like they were made from old ingredients from the night before. Both my partner and I did not enjoy the food. I absolutely love Mexican food but I would have to say this is the worst Mexican food I’ve ever had. Would not come here again sorry.

    Just have been in the restaurant for a takeaway order. Awaiting time was 20 minutes and both chimichangas were black and uneatable. Food definitely is not the same as it was last year, I did not enjoy it at all. So disappointed ☹️
