Reviews of Rosie's Red-Hot Cantina Wellington

M. D.

The first night I went here they were out of a lot of food because they had been busy so I came back the next day. The food was pretty good, though I definitely would suggest that you need at least 3 people to finish off the Monster Nachos. They are pretty massive (but good). Also had the Chicken Wings (really good and not too spicy at all) and a Taco (it was Tuesday after all). A good experience overall and some nice outdoor dining.

N.

Great lunch & afternoon visit today with work colleagues enjoying the handy location on Wellington’s waterfront. The staff were friendly & easy to get their attention, the food was what you’d expect for Mexican food but with a fun twist. A great place to take advantage of the end of summer vibes from lunchtime onwards.

S. F.

Props to the monster nachos. Large and loaded with great food. Fun atmosphere with some 90’s and early 00’s music. The food took a little while to come out but an otherwise good experience.

L. H.

We tried the 50 cent chicken wings, Burger, Guacamole, Quesedillás & Shared Nacho’s plate and everything was 10/10 😍 Really enjoyed our order and we will be back again!

D. K.

Wow! The hot wings here are an absolute must! Do not leave here without trying then! Hot and spicy without being overbearing they had an amazing ranch sauce to dip into. I'm ended to say that it wouldn't have been a pretty sight watching me eat these! We also tried the pork taco, unfortunately that wasn't great with the pickled onions killing the taste of anything else and the taco was very light content, disappointing for the price tag. We saw a number of people trying the monster nachos, it is massive and definitly for a group of people, we'll try that next time. Location was viby and the service was top notch with the waitress checking in often send keeping us well watered and our drinks flowing. Best place I've been in ages! Location 10/10 Service 10/10 Food 8/10

T.

Highly recommended. Good for groups. Good service for how busy it is. Really tasty food. Try the margarita slushy. Lamb ribs were delicious and tender with a mole sauce underneath. And the the crispy fish tacos in turmeric batter were flavoursome with good textures.

#. L.

Great place for some Mexican food to share! Had a monster nanchos and that was more than enough for the 4 of us! The frozen margarita is the go to however!

C. B.

Yum, great service. The woap burgers is worthy of 5 because of its daring to be different taste sensation that takes the brain a bit to compute. The huge nachos is huge only downside was may have scooped up a few bits of the paper at the bottom with the cheese chips. Inspired putting cheese at the bottom Son thought the tattle muncho things were a bit weird.

T. R.

Great at what it does. Not fine dining, but doesn't pretend to be - just good honest Mexican styled food and a friendly atmosphere. The Smoked Brisket Tostada was a great healthy option and the Monster Nachos huge - more than enough for two! Only negative was the Jalapeno Poppers weren't available the night we went. These are highly recommended for a tasty starter.

J. G.

Love this place. The meals are a good size and really yummy. Try the brisket tostada (a personal favourite)... Friendly, efficient staff. Close to the City. Value for money. What more can you ask?

D. S.

Monday 🍹 strawberry/mango and passionfruit and delicious snack of loaded fries. Great catch-up with work colleagues

L.

Fun times! We all ordered on one bill (big group) and that was sorted between the group and then opened a new tab for another round which came to way too much.. like WAY too much. Think they may have found some stranded orders (from our group which moved a lot between inside and outside) that wasn't added in the first bill and added it to that bill. I think they should suggest NOT running big tabs for big groups and we also learnt our lesson. Their cocktails were yummy though and although I didn't eat there everybody else said the food was good. I will definitely go back though and it's great that you can still have a ciggie outside! We never really had to look for someone to order drinks from - we were checked on regularly. I will add another star if I tasted the food and it's good :)

A. M.

Fantastic, buzzing place. Food and drinks came out quickly and looked absolutely amazing. The live DJ was great, 10/10 recommend to anyone in Wellington. Great prices/value for money for the size of the portions as well.

M. K.

Visiting Welly and we were looking for nice restaurants nearby us and this one had great reviews and we gave it a shot. A good one indeed! Great environment, friendly and fast staff. We ordered a monster nachos, korean chicken wings and fries. Delicious spicy sauces.

E.

Hands down the best Mexican place in town. The frozen margaritas are amazing! Friendly staff, funky venue, right on the waterfront- what more could you want. Will be back!

H.

Good themed eatery with Mexican street food on offer prepared in generous and tasty proportions. It can get very busy so a quick tip is to ensure you're being charged for your table and not one in a similar direction to where you were sitting. Margarita's have become synonymous with Rosie's...and yes they are delicious and hugely popular.

T. S.

Yummy tacos 🌮 pair very well with the cold beer and cider on a sunny day 😋

J. D.

The tacos were very good - robust flavours - well-balanced ingredients. The fried chicken sharing plate was dreadful - with the chicken strips devoid of any moisture. The ribs were perhaps left in the fryer a bit too long - tasty but definitely had the chewing that cones with being dried out. A nice place - but maybe we just hit it on a bum night.

C. N.

Food was amazing, had the veggie monster taco and the chicken wigs, both were delicious and were plenty to fill us up and the frozen margaritas are a real treat. Had a small problem for our food order but the manager sorted it out real quickly and was lovely. Can't wait to come back.

K. B.

It's a nice place for drinks and snacks. I also love the neon vibe inside...

D.

Busy as usual but took the kids with this time. Once again, great service, awesome vibe and outstanding food. A fun place indeed. Nachos and wings were delicious!

J.

A great vibe. Plenty of indoor or outdoor seating, slushy margaritas and tap beers. Suits large groups, hot sauce lovers, and any seeking great value burgers. Gender neutral bathrooms.

a. r.

Amazing food and friendly staff. I ended up having their $25 nacho deal (serves about 4 people) and it was so delicious that I was able to eat 2/3's of it at once! Would definitely recommend to others.

S.

Lovely atmosphere great food. Our Waiter named Abel was the best, fun efficient and friendly. Will definitely go back

M.

Totally reccomend, quick service yummy food and delicious slushies.

A.

I had a really great experience here after booking in for a large group of people. The service was great and the food and drinks were so nice. Thank you to the crew at Rosie's Cantina for your hard work, communication and patience, it ended up being such a wonderful night!

k.

Great casual Mexican joint - tacos, nachos, margaritas etc. A pretty varied menu - also includes burgers and sharing plates. 2 for 1 tacos on a Tuesday!

B.

Great atmosphere, lighting and music. Staff were very friendly and attentive. Very fast and delicious food and drinks. Only suggestion is a larger drinks menu with cocktails and spirits etc, but otherwise a great place.

C.

Interesting style of food..great atmosphere and staff..delicious Margarita slushy

M.

This place is amazing, I regularly find a spot outside to enjoy the slushy margaritas and amazing food. I certainly introduce more people to this great location. Highly recommended for food, drinks and service

G.

The team at Rosie's were really lovely and helpful, they made sure we had fun finishing up our work's Christmas Party. The frozen margaritas were a big crowd pleaser.

s. s.

This is the old munchens place, but so much better. The food is absolutely amazing. The margaritas are the best. The servers were very friendly and the service was super fast. Prett6 much everything that you would want from a restaurant. On top of it there was a live DJ at 5pm. You can also put up your request. In all great vibes and great time. This is our new favorite joint after work.

S. J.

Good place to hang out ..good vibe and good food

Y. S.

The food here was really good. Very modern Mexican food with a twist of little kiwi in there. Overall the food wins the heart and paired along with good weather and plenty of outside seating is just perfect. The wait staff was really nice and welcoming, but they would less frequently show up so be ready with your order beforehand.

K. M.

Been here a couple of times recently, friendly staff, tasty food, fun atmosphere. Great for a quick bite before the basketball next door. Well worth a visit.

A.

Absolutely delicious Tacos. Service was great and sitting outside was lovely. Good menu for Mexican food and beer etc selection. Definitely worth a visit!

P.

Food was okay and service friendly just let down by not serving the table all at once. A couple of our group of 9 didn't receive their order at least 10-15 minutes after the rest of us so we'd pretty much finished before they were served.

J.

Came for dinner last night amongst hearing nothing but amazing reviews about this place. Service was terrible. After being sat at our table and having our drinks order taken we waited nearly 30 minutes for our drinks to arrive. We weren't given any water for the table. Our waitress didn't come to check on us to see if we needed more drinks so we walked to the bar and ordered ourself. The food on the other hand was really good but the service itself was a let down.

W.

This restaurant is top of the "Wellington Must Do" list. Staff are amazing! Food and service is 2nd to none. Would highly recommend to even the most discerning of clients.

S. P.

Nice location. Food excellent, helpful and efficient staff. Had lunch and would have enjoyed it more, had the noise levels been lower. Internal acoustics terrible, exacerbated by loud music, impossible chat comfortably over lunch. we shifted outside, but the music was loud there too. As a middle-aged man with not the best hearing, I will sadly need to spend my money elsewhere in future.

T.

Awesome place with beautiful outdoor seating. Was able to do some ppl watching. Shout out to the Manager and Abel for making today a great experience! Can't wait to come back for a sunny summer day:)

J.

We often come here for work and the food is very very good. Really generous portion sizes with a tonne of flavour too. The outdoor seating is great on a sunny day also!

M.

Came here for the WOAP burger and was not disappointed. Great food, stuff, and music. Highly recommend this place!

B. M.

The nachos to share were divine. Huge serving and very tasty, great flavors and right amount of spice for us. Oh, did I mention they were HUGE. Place was buzzing Sunday lunchtime, lucky to get a table but we will be back

a.

Nice aesthetic. Staff were friendly, although we only ended up getting one round of drinks as our waiter just disappeared and left me waiting for the marg I ordered for over 30 mins. Had the birria tacos which were average and pretty overpriced for what I got. My boyfriend got 2 different $9 tacos which were yummy but small and came over 20 mins after the rest of our food had arrived. The wings were great though, in price and taste so I highly recommend!! The strawberry slushy marg (once I got it) was sooo yummy! Would def try go there again just for that. Enjoyed it overall. Thanks

E.

Food was delicious, waitress forgot to put our drink orders through which couldve been avoided if she had wrote our order down rather than try to remember it. We got our mains and then our drinks and then our entree which was a strange order to receive them in but all delicious and we left satisfied nonetheless.

M. B.

First time visiting Rosie’s was an enjoyable evening. Good food and margaritas. Just a shame that the flaming hot Cheetos street corn was unavailable - was looking forward to it, and the flaming hot (not) Cheetos Mac and cheese replacement was underwhelming.

T. “.

Such a great vibe. Nachos were amazing they can be a full meal for almost three people - it really was huge. Tacos are beautiful. The slushy margarita as always was delicious

J.

What a cool place. We sat outside and had tacos and a quesadilla pizza. So much food. Great vibe and prices

Z. D.

Great food, great beers and amazing musics from 90s that make me feel that I'm young as a teen😎

D.

Amazing food, real great value for money. All the staff were very welcoming and lovely. Highly recommend the brisket and cauliflower tacos xo

B.

Come to rosies at least 3-5 times a month we love it! The food is always on point and quality. If anything is slightly off, the manager (blonde hair) is so amazing and fixes anything right away. The staff know how to handle a super busy large venue and service is always cheerful and fast. 10/10 would recommend to anyone visiting wellington! You can't go wrong with Rosies any night of the week and a margarita.. or 10! love you guys <3

A.

Service was good. Expensive for tacos. The pulled meat taco was good

L. G.

This place gets my 4 stars for amazing beer, amazing food and a casual ambience. Sure the service isnt amazing, but so what, when the food and beer is of this quality, get your butt off your seat and order at the bar. Highly recommended if you love German beer and food. We will be back for sure 😎🍺

A.

Wait staff were really friendly. Great vibes and atmosphere, and the food is always good! One of my favourite restaurants in Wellington!

R. K.

Enjoyed the WOAP burger, slushy cocktails and vibe but the service was a bit of a let down. We were the first people to arrive just before the lunch rush and the woman serving us acted annoyed every time we'd ask for something. She may have been having a bad day but her demeanor definitely affected the whole experience

M. D. (.

My first German restaurant experience & loved it, was impromptu plan as we were at TSB for WOW & it was raining, however great decision, the service was friendly & accomadating especially as they were extremely busy 2 point of we just fitted in... Food was delicious & toilets are beautiful black marble. I would definitely go back next time in Wellington. Yummy blueberry cider I enjoyed too 👌 Highly recommend

B. B.

Awesome place for a quick bite & break from Wellingtons weather. Friendly staff and amazing food.

D.

Great service, food and drink. A very nice spot to spend a warm Wellington afternoon.

S.

Good food, good service, music was a bit loud for talking inside. Overall pretty good.

E.

Burger bun was charcoal and the amount of fruit Flys was crazy. The staff were lovely and apart from the charcoal bun the other food was good.

B.

As soon as we walked in, the service here was on point. They were attentive and checking how things were. Add to that great drinks and food. Awesome place and atmosphere for a night out. Great job Rosie's 😊

M.

Two for One margaritas on Monday are a hit. Food is really tasty with a lot of the share plates great size for sharing, including the Monster Nachos being enough for three people.

D. J.

The German poutine was phenomenal. I'm not sure it's an authentic German dish (It's Canadian, eh?), but it was delicious! Very filling, even with my girlfriend stealing fries.

G.

D E L I C I O U S. So good must do! Just go. Great service. Friendly fast, felt very homey.

S.

Mad props for their woap burger and doing something totally different. Ice cream in a burger...like who would have thought that combo worked. Nice staff, can't speak for the rest of the menu but beats the German place that was there before.

F.

Go for the Birria Tacos and the amazing margaritas. If you want something novel for the table to share, get the nachos. They are... Large.

P.

Amazing food, the perfect amount of spicy so be forwarned. Drinks are on point too, with a big section to choose from, and true to form a large range of tequilas to choose from.

T.

Really tasty food, great service, family friendly at least at lunch time.

L. S.

The München looks very high-quality from the outside. Our waitress wore a bavarian costume and was very friendly. The atmosphere didn't seem quite comfortable but we could watch German soccer on big TVs and drink water for free which was very nice! There are only a few German dishes and others that aren't very German. Chicken wings, burgers and (German) poutine (which in reality is a national dish of the Canadians). The poutine was unfortunately not very delicious and also the jägerschnitzel didn't match our taste. In other reviews I read that the cook is German and that it is not 100 % possible to prepare the dishes as in Germany because New Zealand ingredients are used. Nevertheless, I believe that even with New Zealand ingredients and another cook a better quality in food would be possible. I would like to see that the München improves the quality of their food and that they add more German dishes to their menu. For 55 NZD it wasn't a cheap experience to try German food out of Germany but it was nice. Thank you guys!

s.

Awesome atmosphere, set up and menu. The staff are amazing and super friendly/helpful an dthe prices are better than I expected. I WILL be back

T.

Friendly efficient service, nice atmosphere, great food, great selection of fiery sauces. Would have liked a few more taco options, but Tuesday Taco ($6 per taco) is a great deal.

J. B.

Feb 2021: Loved sitting and watching the different generations dining in. Dad with teenagers, young parents with babies and toddlers, couples, groups. A place for all. Several things happened to make this a stand out dinner. 1)Nice range of drinks avaliable, I had a house margarita YUMMO.. 2)waitress gave great advise. So we ordered a starter and mains 3)not so good... Everything came at once.. We said to the deliverer of the meal we were expecting separate timings for the food. 4) he offered to take the mains back. We declined and kept all together. 5) the waitress that took the original order came over and apologised for the mistake. 6) fresh filling meals. Clean and bright. Thank you for a lovely birthday dinner.

K.

The kitchen team did an amazing job! Maya as well was so kind. Lovely service. Amazing food. Thank you for everything.

L.

had an amazing time at rosies!! eden was great, super bubbly and funny! made us feel right at home!! great drinks too!!

T.

Have had a great experience both times that I have been here - can recommend the fish tacos. Great lively atmosphere.

D. R.

Amazing tacos and quesadilla pizza, we tried the stout beer. Great location and vibes.

c.

Excellent customer service 👏 and great location. Food was delicious, making me hungry just thinking about it lol definitely recommend Rosie's Red-Hot Cantina to my friends and Family.

M.

Locals at this place, at least once a week, always great service and the best frozen margs

S. S.

First time at Munchen and I was totally surprised and impressed. We arrived at 21.30 for lunch so it wasn't too busy yet but music was on and a bit loud. Waiter saw we had an asleep new born and asked if we would like it turned down a bit which was appreciated and accepted. Service itself was great too, waiter conversed well and service for drinks and food was quick. The food itself was yummy and good sized portions. I had the chicken wings and wedges and hubby had the snitzel. Will definitely visit again :)

M. C.

Boozie margaritas and amazing food !! Indoor and outdoor seating with great views

D.

The ribs were great!! Have been to Rosie's several times now. Can be a little bit loud at times.

T. M.

Food was amazing, would def recommend this place if you can get a seat.

H. B.

Amazing food, cold beers and great service. Can get a bit loud at times, but still great

L.

The tacos are so worth going back for! Giant Nachos and frozen mageritas... the staff are great to chat to! 😍

S. C.

The frozen margaritas are so delish, food is amazing & great for sharing. Awesome place for a just a drink & nibbles or a full on feast. Definitely reccomend.

C. S.

A clear evidence of Bavaria's far reaching influence with this Biergarten / Brauhaus in the heart of the capital. What a delight to find a piece of Heimat with authentic cuisine with even the Brezel freshly served from the oven making the the butter melt. All served by the friendly girls wearing Dirndl, what more could you want. So far the most authentic piece of Bavaria with only the Weisswurst missing on the menu. I was impressed and you will certainly see me again.

m.

Loved the fresh food. Service was great. Loved the vibe. Definitely will come back for more

I.

One of the best bars in Wellington, great foood, frozen margaritas and the staff are always super nice and helpful, great customer service!!

K.

I love the vibe here and I'm a regular customer, alongside loads of other regulars I'm sure. I love the simple Mexican food on offer which tastes great. While the drinks are pretty standard fare, they definitely do the trick, especially the classic margaritas. While it can get cold outside, it can often be a little too noisy and busy inside. I recommend getting a good spot early on next to the outdoor heaters.

K. C.

Loved the food. Decent size meal and plenty of options. I think if I lived in Wellington I'd be frequenting this place often.

S. T.

Lovely & friendly staff and we experienced fast service. Was obliging when it came to allergies! With 4 tacos on the menu, it was a disappointing and some of them seemed more complicated than need be. ‘Beef’ taco was insanely oily and not to my liking. Korean chicken & Walburger were hits 👍🏻 Definitely a strong spice kick to some menu items. Was nice for today, probably wouldn’t be back though due to the menu range.

N. M.

Fantastic atmosphere. Great wait staff. Beef schnitzel was amazing and the Dark Hofbrau beer was to die for. Will absolutely be back.

B. H.

Such good value for money. I loved everything about it.. the ambience was right up my alley. The service was amazing.. such friendly and attentive wait staff! Food was delicious and the drinks were full! We will definitely be back!

A. P.

Our experience at Rosie's was awesome! We had Olivia as our server and she was quite possibly the best server I personally have experienced in my visits to Wellingtons restaurants! She was exceptionally genuine, friendly and made sure to keep our somewhat picky table needs met, and it was only her first week! On top of the great service the food here was great! Each of us had our own surprise of how wonderful each of our meals were and the odd requests we had for our orders were all met perfectly! We will be coming back here for sure!

D.

I liked the vibe. Service good and food was interesting and a little bit different than the usual fare.

D.

I had some really delicious food but unfortunately service was quite slow and others at my table had disproportionately small meals for their price. That being said, the fried chicken was delicious and a good size fire the price. I've had the Wahlburger in the past which was also delicious. Friends getting the ribs or the tacos were disappointed in the value for money but said everything tasted nice, they just wished there was more of it.

Q.

$6 Taco Tuesday was a winner for me, great range of craft beer as well. Will go back here again.

C.

Best Mexican In NZ

N.

Nice food quick service plenty to eat

E.

Absolutely delicious food and fantastic ambiance. Perfect for a date or a fun night out with friends!

M.

Really enjoyed our lunch here. Friendly, efficient service and delicious food (we had the Koreatown chicken and Wallburger). Nice & cold beer. Didn't hurt that it was a stunning, sunny Wellington day too!

K.

It was my son's birthday and apart from the slow service we had a great time.

G.

Loved it just wish you had all the beverages you have on offer on the drinks list other than that perfect!

T.

Great experience with staff, service, drinks and food. We'll definitely come back. 🥰

B. D.

Had a long day the day before and was starving at 10:30am they welcomed me with open arms and the food was delicious. I don't often take food pictures but the beef schnitzel definately hit the spot. Would definately recommend!

j.

Amazing experience! 100% recommend..food, drinks and service was amazing. The flavors were incredible, if you’re looking for a welcoming atmosphere with amazing food, this is the place! Will be back for sure.

S.

Service was quick and friendly, food was tasty. Had the smoked brisket salad and would definitely order again. Prices are more than reasonable

p.

Amazing place, Outstanding customer service and excellent food. Will definitely recommend ⭐️⭐️

L.

Just had sharing plates. Amazing combination of flavours. Slushies were pretty good too.

L.

Super friendly staff, great food and delicious yet affordable cocktails. 👌

O.

Great place, lovely frozen margaritas and even lovelier staff!

g. B.

Awesome flavor packed meals.. German Authenticity of flavours 👍👌

M.

Our entire experience was amazing! The service was outstanding. They were absolutely packed as it was a Friday night, but the staff gave us incredible customer service! Our food was really tasty, as were the drinks. The food also arrived SO quickly. Unfortunately I didn't catch her name, but a brunette girl was our main waitress and she was great - thank you! We were really impressed.

J. S.

Very cool vibe Munchen hosts that classic Bavarian beer hall style lightened by great interior design to match its seaside setting. Large and spacious Munchen is great for big groups, and has a superb array of German and Kiwi beers to keep all punters happy. The menu is hard on the South German style, so expect some delicious sausages and sauerkraut that’ll cut through the heavy gravy, pickle, and mustard flavours. Specials match beers with a meal for $25, and the beer hall bartenders each have solid knowledge of not only their HB beers but what matches will best precede, compliment, or chase you food. With knowledge and beer-appreciation like this, Munchen feels down to earth and very approachable by the average drinker. Go here for a superb walk through some of Bavaria’s best lagers, weissen, and ales, and enjoy light airy beach surrounds that could keep you seated there for many hours.

D. B.

Good food, good beers. Nice flavoursfor the dishes I tried. Service was ok and food came out quickly. Not necessarily comfortable for a long time but the other factors make up for it.

K.

Great service great food. And Col was a great waiter

G.

Very nice food portions could be bigger, staff were fantastic and friendly. The music was a little to loud for my liking. We will be back in the future .

G.

Great place. Modern Mexican food. Good size servings and the platters are perfect for sharing. Friendly attentive staff. Will be back to try more of the offerings available. Great place for a casual group night out

B.

Awsome food at reasonable price. Great atmosphere. Highly recommend

J.

Good food (and great jalapeño poppers), good atmosphere and good service. Been there a couple of times now and consistently good

H.

If I could give this place more stars I would. The food is simply divine, amazing, authentic. Great service, friendly staff, and everything is delicious. I can’t wait to go back and have an even bigger feed. Come hungry and you won’t be disappointed. Birria taco and the welly burger was AMAZING. Great flavor and great value. Some of the best tacos in NZ.

E.

The monster taco is awesome

C.

Good food, very nice. But terrible service. Place was busy 12/1/21 6:30 pm. After being seated we had to chase down wait staff to get a drink and food order in and that was it. After food delivered to our table the wait staff were never to be seen again! More attentive wait staff would raise revenue and make this place five stars.

R. S.

Great food!! The corn sharing plate was amazingly yum. Monster Nachos (made vegetarian) was large but very tasty. Staff was great and it was great dinner in Wellington. Would definitely return again.

C.

Great vibe, great food, one of 'the' spots on the Wellington Waterfront

R.

Amazing! 2 for 1 Margaritas and they tasted so good! Monster Nachos and chips were so yum. Service was great! Definitely will be back.

E.

The monster nachos is good for 2 to 3 people. It is really massive! Food was good and overall enjoyable. But, spoiler alert! they put strawberry flavour in their frozen margarita.

g. j.

Nice staff and good food. The ambience was great.

R.

Such a great place to be. Delicious food, great service and ambience is on point

N.

Awesome specials and awesome food (the birria tacos are bananas - must order!). But whatever you do, do not order the fish taco. It was revolting. We were a group of six and it was unanimously inedible. All you could taste was cheap tequila. Must've been a bad day in the kitchen.

R. T.

Average food. Great beer. Not bad service. Nothing outstanding about our visit though.

P.

Nice location. Good food. On the more expensive side.

H.

Had a fun time, everything was well priced and service was great!

K.

Very nice venue. The menu is very good.

M.

Great food, brill cocktails and great atmosphere.

S. K.

Enjoyed live music and delicious meal. Not too busy on a Friday evening.

C. O.

Good that they had proper 'beer house' style foods, and a decent size menu. Food also came out quick, and the staff were responsive and helpful. The food was okay, though, not very memorable. Definitely not bad by any means, but also definitely not a place that I'd remember much. I think would be good with large groups.

S.

If you like hot food in the spicy sense go here. Do cocktails too. Service was good. Specials on a Monday so take advantage of them.

R.

Burger on a plate 2021 was yummy. Service is friendly and fast.

K.

Great place for a drink and light meal on a sunny Sunday afternoon.

S. C.

We stopped here for a drink and a bite to eat after a ride up the cable car and walk through the Botanical Gardens. The service was absolutely fantastic and the food was great. My parents were with my wife and I and we shared a 2 person platter which was full of flavour. Fantastic place with a great vibe. I loved how quick the drinks were served too!

B.

Amazing food, could not get enough! Can't wait to come back, that burger was the best.

Q.

Food was fantastic and so were the Margaritas. Highly recommend

K.

Awesome Mexican food not your usual beans cheese sour cream. Not a big fan of that type of Mexican but will be back here again. Really good margueritas too.

H.

Really good burgers and the Mexican food is tasty and generous portions. Fast service.

B. N.

Food was decent and the specials were insanely cheap. We weren't told about the specials though so missed out the first time we came in (only when we ordered the item were we told about it being a special that night). Would give the Monster Nachos a miss as it flavours were bland compared to the size

B.

Great sunny Wellington afternoon. Beer and burgers for tea. Can't fault the food. Staff very good and friendly. Will go again

C.

Great marguerites and atmosphere. Awesome portion sizes and great staff. Would definitely go back and would recommend!

M.

Had the wallburger. What an EXPERIENCE. One of the most tasty and delicious burgers I've had in a while. 10/10 would recommend and have even book another table next week. Well done!

E.

Great place, good food and a really unique drinks menu. Love the indoor trees!

L.

This place has exceptional Mexican food!!! The Nachos are so good and so are the salads. I went with the wife and kids (7 and 10) and everyone was very impressed which was surprising given they usually don't like Mexican.

A.

The food was good but was slow on service

T.

Good specials amd great service and food

J.

Great food. We tried four entrees and one big main. The service was average, but the food was great quality- Fresh and tasty. It was rather loud but I take that it is that kind of environment. Decor was awesome! We will be back to enjoy a meal here again. Must say it is an excellent spot too, on the waterfront and so close to the train station.

L.

Delicious! Their ceviche salad is magnificent. The toilet is wheelchair accessible but only outdoor seating will be suitable.

P. S.

Went there for a small birthday bash, midweek. So it was pretty quiet. We like the WHG pubs, generally very reliable and this was no different. But this is different because the menu bends very much to the German theme. And a couple of steins to start. Service good, food good, and a good evening. Would be happy to go back just for a beer

S. H.

I now work across the road from Queens wharf and there is nothing nicer than a lunch with a work friend on a Friday or just a drink. After trying all the restaurants within this area I can say that my favourite is Munchen without a doubt. Was just there today actually and every time the genuine friendliness and helpfulness of the staff blow me away. You get the impression they really do enjoy their job. The food is also good as is the selection of tap beers and cider. Thank you for being so nice to visit.

S.

Awesome food and a really nice atmosphere. We had the fried chicken and tacos.

A. (.

Large filling tasty meals at an ok price, house beer is a must try. Great German themed eatery for the whole family. Wait staff are awesome, friendly and attentive. Very noisy on Friday or Saturday evenings. Situated on the water front great place for a stroll after dinner.

J.

The meal was good , but choices from the menu were less than on the website, I.e no duck or Kessler. The service was good. They do need to make proper German potato salad. For the size of our market the range of German beer was ok (on tap) . German tourists may not agree with my opinions but I cannot help that. All in all it was a good experience.

P.

Really great, friendly service from the waitresses.

J.

We walked in like brats at 6pm on New Years Eve. No reservations, 4 adults, 3 kids under 8. They had a table for us, but we wouldn't be able to see the kids play and the bar stools were dangerous for the youngest. The hostess thought quick on her feet rearranged some tables and got us a spot. Then we needed to alter meals for the kids and didn't realize we had to go inside to pay the bill. Yes, we were those customers. We were treated impeccably and the food was quick and super tasty! We will be back and will definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone who any occasion! 10/10!

J.

Very friendly staff always checking on you. Tasty food. We had fish taco, fried chicken an chips all good no complaints.

P. H.

Went here for lunch on a Thursday. Good service, nice environment - we were greeted warmly and well tended too. I ordered a haus burger (beef) , which came with wedges. The special was $20 that day for any burger and a beer, and I was pleased to be able to swap the beer out for a non alcoholic drink. The wedges were great, and we did't have to wait much. The burger - not bad, but not fantastic. Well dressed with great presentation - and tall, but not wide. There was a generous amount of ground beef, but it just lacked seasoning. Possibly a little too well cooked because it was a little on the dry and tough side, to spite being ground. Had it been me, I might revise the recipe (as cheeky as that sounds). The burger meat mix probably needs more salt at the minimum and some attention to the cooking method / duration. Overall - a really good experience especially as the staff were so accommodating and friendly. I'd probably go back.

J. M.

The food tastes delicious, generous portions and doesn't take too long to arrive. Love the weiner schnitzel!!

M.

Awesome food, great beer, fantastic waiter and food came out quickly too!! Only thing i would say would be the waiters could come quicker and ask about meals and if we wanted dessert. It felt like a long time between each. Other than that it was awesome!!! Totally recommend

F.

Yum, yum, yum. Loved it! Beats the other Mexican joints I have been too hands down.Will be going back. Very attentive service too. You have to try the lime cheesecake!!!

H. F.

Good local spot for a drink and the bar tender was very friendly!

J.

Quick and mostly friendly service, food wasn't bad

M.

Great food and f##ken hot sauce yummy

D.

Food was amazing. Only let down by music being a little too loud

P.

Busy atmosphere but really nice to have the place divides into some privacies spots. The food is delicious and the portions are quite big. The Waitress who looked after our table was so friendly. Keep up the goid work. Will go there again for sure as 👌

M.

Great food really fast service and well priced

K. L.

Lovely place. Cosy yummy food, decent size portions and reasonable portions! Great beer. I must specifically mention one of the starters - German Poutine. It is one of the best things I have eaten in a while.

T.

Very busy and noisy on a Friday. Friendly staff gave good service. Food was generally good, but I found the bratwurst bland and uninspiring. Fantastic sauerkraut, delicious German mustard. Poor selection for gluten-free.

A.

Good eat but music not matching to the theme...

j.

I love the place and it's family-friendly. The food was so good (Wallburger is my favourite).

R.

Great atmosphere and food. Had the pulled pork burger and fries for a work lunch and was still full the next morning.

H.

Great transformation!!! I loved the night out for dinner with the family . Food was prepared nicely and very friendly team. Try it👍🏻

M.

Excellent views, food, beer and service.

H.

Loved it, great food great Margareta

J.

The full German experience in a great location just off of the main waterfront. Good quality German sausages and mash with all the trimmings and a wide range of drinks including Hofbrau lagers. The service was good with friendly staff and really quick from the open kitchen, I'll definitely come back here next time I am in Wellington.

C.

German style food, I had a good crispy schnitzel with mash. Server knowledgeable and conscientious about GF / DF. A couple of big groups came about the same time, so service slightly delayed but nice environment so didn't mind.

L.

Lightning fast service and huge, flavourful meals. Great for dinner!

S.

We were a bit later and the food on offer was very limited but what we got was good. Tuatara on tap all good.

P.

Didn't have any food, just drinks. The Hofbräu Beer was fine, still, to be more authentic it should be served in 500ml glasses not in Form of a pint. Didn't try the Weißbier(Weizen) since it was quite expensive. In Germany we pay more than half less of the price. Anyways was nice to taste some familiar beer again

B.

Good service, good value, good food. What more can one ask for? Oh yes, looked like some nice beers available too!

J.

Excellent food. You must try the Monster Nacohes

S.

Lovely service and great prices. I had the Doggystyle burger and it was delicious.

J.

The atmosphere was boisterous and rowdy, the food was acceptable and the service was good. If you're looking for a loud night out with a middle-of-the-road bite to eat, Rosie's will suit well. If you're craving some genuine latino cuisine and atmosphere, stay away from the waterfront.

M.

Delicious German-style food, amazing beer (I really like 1L glasses), friendly people! It is located on the waterfront, so has some amazing views as well!

K.

Food's great and offer good service.

N.

Good food and service. Popular place.

D.

Great staff and the WOAP burger was incredible!

K.

Love to stop by for the glass of weissbier! Stuff is always friendly and the view is amazing )

S.

The food and drink of Bavaria. You need to push past the kitschy colours and costumes of the waiting staff. The food itself is fantastic (always a hard choice from the menu). Burgers, sausages and other German fare, so much choice and flavour.

U.

Love this place. Staff are friendly foods mint and the service is top notch

J.

Food: 10/10 (big servings so great for sharing) Ambience: 10/10 Staff: 10/10 Price: 8/10

J.

Amazing!!! Loved everything about the place. The food is delicious!!!!

J.

Great German beer! And although I didn't have any food, it both looked and smelled amazing. The location beside the wharf is beautiful.

A.

Food was expensive for what it was and portions were small.

N.

Nice to visit a decent german beer garden. Only tried the pretzel (bretzel?) food-wise but enjoyed a big Stein alongside it. Would love to find something like this in Christchurch

D.

Visited here for dinner with some friends. The food was decent and I liked it. I would recommend a schnitzel. The server came across as a little cold, and they did make a minor mistake with the drinks order, but it was not a big problem.

G.

My eyes were too big for my belly. Great tasting Mexican style food.

D.

Friendly staff, but felt a bit disorganised and inefficient (so un-German!). Took a long time for us to get drinks and food. Beer is great as expected, food was pretty good and reminded us of our time in Germany. Danke.

N.

Went as a group, took 1 hour to get food.

J.

Great food and staff, always feels very looked after when we go there. The chicken wings with half and half sauce are awesome. Also try out the German banana beer. So summery and refreshing.

G.

Simple meals, but a good size and priced for what they are. Service is nice and friendly. Interior is industrial. If you want a good hearty schnitzel and cold beer, give it a go.

P.

Munchen Food Hall and Beer - the venue ok for what it is, and the staff are friendly. But there are plenty of other places nearby that offer much nicer food for only a little more. Munchen is a nice venue for after-work drinks on a sunny day, but if authentic German food is your thing then it is at best well-intentioned but underperforming.

R.

Excellent atmosphere, delicious food. Good value, fast service. Cool setting

D.

Was a little disappointed tbh. The food was good but not great, and was quite overpriced for what it was. The beer was pretty good tho and you can get them in a large glass which is cool. Good for the experience, but wouldn't go again

K.

good food. Friendly staff. Cool artwork inside.

A.

Amazing beer. Every Time when we are in Wellington we visit this restaurant. Amazing Munchen beer. Belgian food. Good for beer. Cheerful and friendly staff. Definitely recommend for people who like Belgian beer.

J.

Staff are always friendly, nice selection of beers on tap and delicious food.

S.

Best cheeseburger I've had on wellington.

M.

What an amazing place. Well worth the visit. Awesome staff.

J. C. (.

In just one meal this has become our favourite Mexican place in Wellington, we tried the Koreatown fried chicken, Cheetos street corn, and the Birria tacos - all were outstanding in their own right. I particularly loved the wall of hot sauce and experimenting with them on the chicken! The service could not be faulted, with their staff apologetic and great about a wait time that we considered ‘the norm’ - not even considering we’d waited anything beyond usual. We’ll be back, often!

C.

I got a big plate of a very tasty Beef goulash with knödel. Sehr lecker und authentisch (very delicious and authentic)!!!

K.

We went for lunch on 2 January 2019. After a busy few days most of their menu was unavailable due to running out of stock. But we had the burgers and they were really good.

B.

Good slushy Margareta, even better burger!

J.

Great food. We tried four entrees and one big main. The service was average, but the food was great quality- Fresh and tasty. It was rather loud but I take that it is that kind of environment. Decor was awesome! We will be back to enjoy a …

One word...Excellent..👍😎

M.

Tacos were great and awesome.service

P.

Nice atmosphere and good food :)

T.

Lovely place, was great weather and nice to sit outside in the sun.

D.

Great place and great times. Cheers for the stains and great food guys. See you in 12 years

v.

Got there on Waitangi day as it was closing- slurped down an original and had a pretzel. Pretty good overall. Need to review the music for such an authentic place !

G.

Good food and atmosphere! It usually isn't too crowded and family friendly. If you do stop by grab a pint of there muchen original lager!

G.

Good food & delicious beer. Very noisey with large crowds. Waiter/kitchen hand got our order wrong.

C.

After cafe munich closed there was nowhere to get Schweinshaxe (Eisbein)...until now, and boy is it good, so very happy this place replaced the dire drab chicago bar - it's nice and bright and well thought out. Could have a few more German beers on tap (not just the ubiquitous Hofbrau) though the options available are good.

K.

Food good. Service could be improved

D.

Nice food and really nice drinks

S.

Good no nonse food and great beers from the tap. The waitresses are nicely dressed in traditional Bayern dresses

J.

Amazing food and a fun and authentic atmosphere. My only complaint is the music is just pop music, it doesn't fit with the theme. Authentic German music would complete this place.

R.

Good range of beer and food is good. Meal was huge and a little over cooked. There are some good staff and a few that could careless about service. Generally ok experience.

J.

A great place to go for authentic German beers, especially Hofbrau beers. I recommend Hofbrau Dunkel. Great German food, although the Cordon Bleu was a bite different from what I was used to in Switzerland. They capture the look and spirit of a Bavarian Biergarten.

A.

Really nice Bavarian burger - has a very German flavor to it, thanks to the sauerkraut no doubt, and the ingredients all worked very well together. Their beer tasting paddle is generous, and the "neo beer hall" vibe works well. What wasn't so good is the currywurst - not only is it nothing like any I've had in Germany before, it also wasn't very nice. Still, I'd happily go back for the burger!

K.

Lovely place, good German booze however food tasted great but we waited 25 minutes and it was warm when served.

L.

Thank you. First visit for us and we were not disappointed 😊 it was great! We had the WOAP Burger...it was GOOD! The service was outstanding. Christine was a ⭐. We will be back for sure.

D.

Was nice place, beer was good, the food was nice and the portions big, even though what I wanted wasn't available at the time, the staff was friendly and the service was good.

R.

Tasty food that definitely need a party to share

o.

Brisket burgers the best burger I've ever had for reals 😋

s.

A bit disappointed about the food and beer, was quite average. Wedges and calamari we had tasted like frozen food bought from the supermarket. Waiting staff were helpful and friendly, services are great. Great location, a nice place to have a beer after work.

J.

Great food! Pork knuckle was amazing

G.

Burger and a beer for $20 is a pretty good deal. The burger meat is a little bland. Id go for the chicken burger for sure. Only 3 typrs of beer with the deal, but overall its an ok deal. Nothing to go crazy over.

N.

The Dinkel weizen was great on a cold southerly day but my hearty goulash was let down by playing and that the knodel was not available.

R.

Fabulous place to eat the best Eisbein, drink great German Biers and chill out with friends. Highly recommended for your Friday after work meet-up! Prost!

H.

Good food. Good service.

M.

You can't beat Wellington on a good day and boy what a cracker it was!!! Great party atmosphere. Everyone having a great time. Spent the best part of 8 hours there.

a.

Stunning food and service. Never, never disappoints. And its a great location before the Saints Basketball at TSB Arena. Keep up the great work everyone at München

M.

Great food and friendly service

S.

2 for $30 platter board was great value, very Bavarian atmosphere 😍

M.

Amazing definitely recommend the kids snitzzle was great and the adults pork snitzzle was absolutely incredible it is great for a family dinner out not to fancy just perfect

J.

Service and food was good. Clean and tidy. We had two kids 5< dined under an hour.. was just what we wanted. Reasonably priced too

J.

Great service, great experience, great food. A German beir haus on the Wellington port. An interesting place, and one to definitely visit again.

M.

Great food, great beer, and excellent service! Would recommend for casual drinks or a easygoing bite to eat.

S.

Great service and the food was good. Well worth a visit.

C.

The best nachos and yummy margaritas slushies

N.

Tasty, simple food in a german themed, bright environment. Friendly staff and reasonable price gor the location.

D.

Great food and excellent service. Our server Scott went to a great deal of trouble to ensure we had a lovely meal.

A.

The food here was so delicious! The staff were really attentive too.

S.

Since I'm German I've to say the apfelstrudel was as I remembered. The beer was German and the staff was amazing too . A bit above average pricing,but definitely worth a visit .

J.

Amazing vibes, great food. And oh my lord the drinks are fab

G.

Was a bit bright inside

F.

Almost like the real deal. Variety of food could be more German still (:

N.

Great service, yummy slushy margaritas and excellent food served promptly

C.

Toilets need good scrub. Service good, Food good. Uniforms waiters have to wear look ridiculous & I actually feel sorry for them, almost looks awkward

E.

Great beer and good priced burgers. Good place to go after a long week at work for a pint and some chips!

K.

Great Germany beer and food. A litre stein was $20 - thought this was a bit on the high side. But it was good beer!

g.

Yummy food and quick efficient service

G.

A good place to go for a night out

A.

Food is above average but the put their prices up on the burger and beer to $25 not sure if I'll go back now

P.

The roasted pork knuckle is fantastic, snitzel is good, and beers are plentiful. Good solid eatery before going to the Stadium

A.

Great food. Awesome service and location. Beer selection is good too Recommend a visit. Cheers

H.

Don't try the Currywurst if you are after the German original... this one is more of an Indian fusion version.... Not even close... at least they serve Bitburger...

A.

Great place for German feel in Wellington.

P.

Awesome place - Margarita Slushy's were devine. Yum Yum

A.

Great location. Service was pretty good. I want to say the food was great but it missed the mark just a bit. I'd go back though : )

M.

Generous servings... Yummy...

J.

Amazing Burger Wellington special.

L.

Amazing food, good happy hour deals..great night overall

D.

Authentic sausage with kraut and mashed. Pretzel was average. Spinach and artichoke dip was amazing. Generous portions.

G.

It was ok for the nite We were going to Pink Floyd Experience

D.

Pros: Good quality food German beers on tap Friendly and fast service Cons: Limited menu choices, especially for lunch A bit expensive Lacks atmosphere Food is a variation of German (well, Bavarian, Austrian and Swiss) classics, rather than the original (e.g. Cordon Bleu should have the cheese and ham on the inside not on top, and it should be served with 'Bratkartoffeln' rather than wedges) Altogether, München is a good addition to the Wellington restaurant scene but there's some room for improvement.

R.

Cannot fault service or food, however the live music was too loud which meant people was shouting at each other across the table.

H.

Really good ribsticking food. Good selection of beer. Service is good, and the staff are friendly.

A.

Ideal venue on the Waterfront. Excellent food and drinks selection. Pristine. Staff very friendly and helpful

M.

Quite quiet, good beers & spirits. It has a simple Menu of decent quality.

M.

Had a nice salad for lunch here. Germanesque atmosphere could be worked on from its present kitsch attempt.

B.

Good slushy Margareta, even better burger!

The Bratwurst was a bit juiceless, but the Debreziner Wurst was good.
