I dined here with my sister on Easter Sunday for a late lunch at about 2pm. The place gets a point for being open on a holiday. A lot of Wellington places shut for the entire weekend.

We shared a bowl of curly fries, and a peanut butter milkshake. The milkshake was delicious, the curly fries nice but not amazing.

Our waiter seemed as though he didn’t want to be at work and did not listen properly to our order. I ordered the pulled pork po boy sandwich and what came out was a prawn po boy. I didn’t realise until I started eating it. The waitress I told was very apologetic and she fast-tracked the pork po boy through the kitchen (she was good at her job). Once I got my correct meal, I enjoyed it. My sister had the beef taco and enjoyed her meal. We were impressed that the beef was real chunks of beef, not mince.

Overall, we were not particularly impressed with the service, although the food is cheap and quite tasty for the cost. Will not be in a rush to return though.

Just ok gumbo and curly fries – sorry, not too much to write home about.

Just wasn’t worth the wait for the dirty table.

Great food at reasonable prices. The gumbo was yummy and only $14!!! Obviously a popular place and generally don’t take bookings so I suppose not a place to go if time is important. Laid back atmosphere and I found the waiter helpful and pleasant. Nice atmosphere and groovy decoration!

This has been my go to restaurant for the last five or so years in Wellington, being a lover of all things Tex Mex, but I just can’t do it any more. The service is far too lacklustre. The last time I went, my partner and I waited 25 minutes to be served, and only when we tried to order a pork burrito and a fish taco were we told there was no pork or fish. The time before this, I was given the wrong type of burrito and not given a discount. The staff are rude and don’t seem to care at all – it’s a shame because the baja fish taco is freaking delicious. I won’t be going back – I’ll be spending my money at Viva Mexico instead.

Brilliant – great food, good atmosphere, good prices – highly recommend Sweet Mother’s Kitchen. Especially some of the mexican specialties. Very impressed that they txt you when a table is available so yo can go off to a bar for a drink while you wait.
