Not as good as it used to be since it changed ownership. The food, service and prices used to be excellent but not so much anymore.

Not as good as Don Antonio’s in LA, but it did very well. Our wait person was great, knew the menu inside out and explained everything precisely.
Great Margharita’s, we will go back.

Great Mexican food with a cozy environment – You need to love mexican food to love the place though, which I do!

I took my dad here at Christmas time, and found it pretty good. Value for money, friendly staff, good food.

Wider drink selection would be good. Other than that, no complaints.

I have been to Hola three times now. It is somewhere I can take my son (vegetarian) and I can eat there as a Coeliac (Gluten Free). The food is ok for cheap eating out but it’s NOT authentic Mexican, its American style Mexican fast food. My son likes all thier dishes with the bean options, which is quite a few. The staff have always been friendly. Affordable but not exceptional quality.

We haven’t been to Hola for a while and the last time we went was January 2010 and enjoyed the food and the margaritas!
We used to go to the Parnell restaurant when it was open all the time now I think the owners have changed at the Orewa restaurant too.
The last time we went to Orewa Hola we loved it. We always want to come back but fear the taxi cost home after indulging in margaritas all night ;-P
I love Hola! the food is the best mexican I have had in Auckland! Fresh, tasty and low fat.
Will post an updated review once we have been lucky to visit again!

Have been to Hola about 4 or 5 times since early 2007, but have noticed that the last few visits prices have gone up, portions got smaller, service decidely average.
Place always used to be very busy, not so much now, possibly due to them been a bit blase now thinking they could get away with average service/meals for more money.
I won’t be going back in a hurry

We have been to Hola! on three or four occasions, two were for birthdays. Great fresh Mexican food and excellent Margaritas. Great service with the birthday boy/girl receiving a sombrero and sung happy birthday by the restaurant staff. Highly recommend

We went to Hola! for lunch and have to say it was probably the worst mexican I have ever had! The service was terrible, almost like as customers we were a nuisance! Drinks tasted syrupy and the meals were decidedly average.
Will not be going back!

We have now been to this restaurant three times and on each occasion have enjoyed excellent food. The meals are very reasonably priced and with two sizes of meal to choose from, Hola caters for every appetite. The marguaritas are great! Highly recommended.

I love Hola – beautiful meals, yummy cocktails, great service and well priced! We go here about 2 to 3 times a month – the owner knows us now because we are always there! It’s a great atmoshphere, and you can always have a good chat and relax there. The Burrito, Taco’s and Enchilada’s are devine, and so authentic. It’s not greasy or fatty, it’s pretty healthy, and there is always the right amount of food on the plate, with the perfect amount of flavour! i highly recommend Hola – for couples, families, children – everyone will enjoy! Thank you Hola!!
