Reviews of El Culo Del Mundo
L.
Had an amazing experience at The bottom of the World! The guac and chips were amazing. In most cases, the guacamole is the main event, but at El Culo the chips are cooked fresh for every dish ordered and it takes the flavour to another level.
The tacos and cocktails would normally need to be raved and recommended too, but the guacamole and chips just beat everything hands down.
Just visit and see what I'm taking about.
C.
Went with a group for cocktails and snacks. Our waitress was awesome! 10/10 customer service. The tortilla chips were the star of the show, so fresh and tasty. Rest of the food was wonderful too. Cocktails were delicious. The whole experience was fantastic and we'll definitely be back!
G.
It was out first time and it was brilliant. Bone marrow - delicious. We devoured the lamb cutlets The pork carnitas taco was tasty, and the beef cheek one according to the partner was better. You’ll have to try them both. And it is all gluten free unless otherwise marked. Get in!
C.
Delicious and authentic Mexican food. Even the grasshoppers were yummy. They were crispy and no off flavour. Good range of beer you can choose from.
T.
The manager (Dawson) and the whole team working 8/1/22 left me with a question that was hard to answer - what was better, the food or the service? I look forward to coming back and enjoying both in the future.
10/10, no notes
D.
Love El Culo!! One of the best spots in Wellington. Worth it for the bone marrow alone, but everything else is great as well!
G.
Great atmosphere and excellent range of authentic Mexican small plates. The range of tacos was varied and delicious with a good range of vegetarian options if that's your fancy. Managed to time the visit with this year's WOAP cocktail offering which was definitely worthwhile
M.
I really enjoyed this place, it's a bit dark blue inside but that's just due to the lack of natural light which isn't their fault. The chicken taco with the fresh pineapple was so good. Really fresh ingredients and all hand made. I loved the handmade tortillas. The homemade sauces are also really tasty!
A great selection of beers here too! I would have loved to try more of the food because the menu looks amazing!
J.
Spectacular bar with an epic range of New Zealand Craft beers! El Culo del Mundo is a great refresh of this Mt Vic site with an interior design reminiscent of some out-of-the-way Oaxaca bistro. The space is big enough for large groups, but books and crannies ensure you have a sense of intimacy and privacy. Sunday afternoons offer up a small crowd of easy-going, beer afficianados.
The wine range is excellent, leaving kiwi drops to others, the eclectic choice of northern hemisphere wines will introduce your palette to new and robust tastes. The beer range is even better with twenty or so kegs on tap that rotate as soon as the keg is empty. Enjoy a local Heyday tamarind gose or Maiden multiverse passion fruit sour ale as easily as calling on a Sawmill Pale Ale or North End’s Table de Brasseur Belgian beer. Also, el Culo del Mundo is one of the few spots I’ve seen a North End brewery hand pump available for our more British ale drinkers. If all that doesn’t appeal, they make a mean pisqao sour!
The food matches up to the thought of the alcohol offerings! Focus on making everything in house, the Chef has set their menu to gluten-free by default with a 50/50 split of vegetarian and meat options. Vegans will be pleased with choice from chilli corn, or mushroom tacos. The guacamole is excellent and served atop delicious home made corn chips, while the home-made chorizo tacos are brilliantly spicy amidst soft and light tortillas. The cerviche also proves a popular choice!
The staff get a special mention for being excellently easy-going, finding an easy balance between being attentive and keeping any social pressure off. Awesomely, they’re all intimately well-verses in the food and drink should you need advice.
Go here for an excellent bar environment, and enjoy tasting superb drinks and even better Mexican food!
G.
In my personal experience I loved this place, the grilled bone marrow and the slow coked ox tongue taco were amazing, and I say this as a Mexican, amazing flavour, so soft and delicious, the beer was good too, the staff is friendly.
This place should be in your list.
H.
The atmosphere was great, the decor very cool and the food was bloody delicious. The waitress staff could've been a bit more friendly and what was really disappointing was that they kept running out of food items on the menu. The wine menu only has 3 options and only 1 dessert option. But I must say it was the best, freshest and most tastiest Mexican food that I've ever had. I'd definitely go back again. Highly recommend their guacomole and tortilla chips, lamb cutlets with fresh mint sauce, plus the pork taco. The flavours in all the food were sensational.
M.
I went with a group friends. It has nice casual environment, the staff was very friendly and the place has very good vibes.
We ordered some nachos with guacamole, veggie tacos and chicken tacos. We loved the presentation and they were was delicious, I would say though that I found the portions slightly small.
R.
🌮 AMAZING selection of tacos!!! HUGE bowl of avo and corn chips 🥑 GREAT staff 👱♀️👱
A.
Interesting Orange and tequila rice pudding for dessert. Nice collection of tequilas and tap beers.
Great vibe and friendly service.
F.
I haven't been here in a while and wow the food is good! The tortillas are handmade in house and you can really notice the difference. So soft and flavourful. The pork fat potatoes were fluffy on the inside and crispy on the outside with a zesty, salty seasoning. The French people in our group absolutely lost it over the bone marrow. Everything is gluten free (GF) except for a few items. The staff were super attentive with us all night. We had a great time and will definitely come back.
C.
This is by far my favorite bar in Wellington. The cocktails are great, and so is the food. So happy to have found a place that serves mezcal and good Mexican food.
P.
Wow, delicious food can be found at El Cudo Del Mundo. Entering you are treated to a warm Latin American deco, with large tables for group as well as small tables for couples. Service is great and very knowledgeable of the menu.
Great selection of food, we went for the ox tongue tacos with salsa Verde, fried chicken tacos with jalapeno salsa and guacamole. The tacos were delicious and balanced with enough heat. The guacamole was generous and tasty with crisp handmade tortillas.
Definitely worth a visit, I'm looking forward to my next visit
M.
We were a large group of 15, mid week and this place rocked. Set menu and the food was stunning. Not one dish disappointed and man it just seemed like it just kept rolling out. No one left hungry. BUT it was the quality, freshness, taste and those ‘bit different taco ingredients’ that stood out. Was really relaxed, social atmosphere that was easy for everyone to mix and mingle. SUPERB staff to boot and great bar. You will not regret at all.
E.
Very tasty food, we loved the ciders we had and the atmosphere is great!
N.
Great atmosphere, great service with amazing cocktails!
J.
The food here is incredible, have been here twice in the last two weeks. Some of the highlights were the beef cheek/ox tongue tacos and pig fat potatoes, everything else has been delicious too. The actual tortillas used in the tacos are fantastic which is rare. Great tap beer selection and looks like the menu changes regularly. Staff are really friendly.
M.
We chose this place from a recommendation in lonely planet and it did not disappoint. There were 4 in our party and we each got something different. The lamb cutlets with chimichurri sauce was tender and flavourful. The salmon was tasty as was the chicken skewers and tacos. Cocktails were creative and well balanced and the selection of mescal in the flight was very good. Go check them out now! You will be glad that you did
A.
Excellent range of expertly crafted soft tacos. And definitely try the salsa and tortilla chips ... Freshly made and outstanding.
A.
a Friday night and the place was pumping! drinks were amazing and the food hard to beat - something for everyone! will be back!
G.
Best newvo style Mexican I can find in Wellington. Always a fantastic place to eat and great service. I have never yet been disappointed. Highly recommended them to anyone.
Have to try the chip's and guac or salsa they are absolutely the stand out dish,
S.
Amazingly authentic Mexican/South American food! Haven’t had anything this good in New Zealand anywhere else. Hand-formed corn tortillas, perfect salsa and guac, spices and flavors you won’t normally find at other Latin places. 10/10 absolutely incredible.
I’d heard mixed reviews so had low expectations, but maybe people are more used to chain places?? As someone who has eaten tons of Latin cuisine, I can definitely say this is 100% the real deal.
On top of the food, there’s a great rotating craft beer selection, Mezcal tasting flights, and at the moment some delicious mulled wine with chili and chocolate.
D.
Really good place! The margarita are generous and really tasty, the food is fantastic and the atmosphere is chill and casual. I absolutely loved the handmade tortilla chips!
p.
Always a good place to go, really good Latin fusion cuisine
L.
The fried chicken tacos are amazing, I cannot recommend them enough. The guacamole and chips was the best I've had this side of the Pacific. Add in an amazing beer selection and you've got yourself a great night out.
D.
Recommend! Awesome food. Excellent craft beer range on tap! Great service. And the music at the right volume so you could still talk. Will be back.
L.
I adore this place for its tequila selection. Arguably the best in town and the little clay bowl/cup/ramiken thing they serve the tequila and mezcal in is very cool. The food is quite nice as well. The chips and salsa is the draw for me, as the tacos were relatively underwhelming. Overall though, the tequila and mezcal selection is the draw for me, 10/10
H.
Tasty Colombian food: both the dinners and the brunches are very good. Had a good and quite quickly rotating tap list, rare-in-NZ Firestone Walker reserve bottles on the bottle list too. Highly recommended!
R.
A pleasant surprise. Interesting, tasty and bold Mexican menu, non watered down drinks and an interesting shabby chic decor reminiscent of Cuba. Congratulations to a new arrival (at least for me) in central Wellington. Thanks. Keep at it!
f.
The ox tongue tacos are soo good!!!
L.
What a great experience. I was there during the quieter times and got to chat with the staff who were very helpful and knowledgeable about their offerings.
I am going back again for sure!
Try the lamb heart. It may sound slightly eccentric but I really enjoyed it.
Thanks for a great experience!
L.
Food was beautiful and tasty - the best combo. Prices are very good and portions great too. I would definitely come back, the pork carnitas tacos were divine! Absolutely fantastic place to go.
F.
A rustic but well organised spot for food and drinks.
Unpretentious menu of Latin American light meals.
Mellow and smooth filter coffee with unlimited refills.
Excellent selection of craft beer, wine and liquor.
I had the pork carnitas tacos which were essentially four small corn tortillas, stacked double, with a heaping of pork carnitas and salsas. Fragrantly delicious, delicate and easy to eat, a reasonably priced lunch for $12.
F.
Wonderfully delicious food and friendly service. We were there for the food rather than drinks. Yummy tapas of many flavours. Fresh and tasty.
R.
What a great experience. Delicious small plates of food, great bar, and knowledgeable bar staff. Tequila of the Moment is a must.
F.
Great food and very friendly service. Food come in small portions so you have to get a few to get a proper size meal. Corn chips, chorizo tacos and salmon ceviche where really awesome!
J.
Honestly the best Mexican I've had in Wellington. Decent beer tap spread, cocktail line-up, and amazing food - pro tip: corn chips are tip top
J.
Some of the best Latin food I’ve ever had! And being from Southern California and traveling throughout Mexico and Central America, that’s saying a lot.
The margaritas were top notch too!
E.
Cosy bar in Mt Victoria. A range or beers and a couple of seats on the st outside where you can look at the olive trees and watch the fringe of the CBD.
P.
Great tacos and chicken wings. Lots of beers on tap.
M.

Good selection of beers and bar snacks. Haven't tried the restaurant food, but after seeing people enjoy themselves I intend to go back!
G.
Amazing food . Everything was super tasty and full of flavour.
Begin a coeliac is good to find a place with so many gluten free options ( I would say 75% of the menu is gf ).
The cocktails were really good too.
Food price was good for the taste and quality of ingredients but Cocktails were a bit pricy.
