Mexican Restaurant!!! I’ve lived in the US for over 8 years and have visited mexico several times. Have had Mexican on a weekly basic. This is NOT Mexican food. Sorry wellington. Was there this morning for brunch. Food took over and hour to be served. We were not keep informed of what was going on with our food. Tables that arrived before us finished their food and left. my toast bread was so dry that i had to chew on it. eggs were over pouched. No apology for the delayed food. I am debating if i should give them one more try. Maybe they had a bad day in the kitchen. But either way servers should always keep the customers informed on what is going on.

I had lunch at Sweet Mother’s Kitchen, the service was efficient and on time, especially when you only have an hours’ lunch. the food was good and the customer service is the best i have had in a while. I would definitely recommend it.

I was a customer in this restaurant and find the staff are friendly and professional in their service. I love the food, the portion is good and delicious all the flavours are well blended. I know because I have been to many restaurants around the world. This is the best restaurant I have came across in Wellington. Keep up the good work guys and keep smiling.

I think people can see the kitchen if walk through the side ( Mothers Kitchen shouldn’t look like that). Pictures tells all.

Terrible food, drinks, and service!!! Not real Mexican food…or even close for that matter. The margaritas were terrible and overpriced. Their “four glasses” of margaritas barely filled three small cups. The server was rude and when I asked for another drink it never came. When I went to pay they had charged me for it anyway and seemed unbelieving when I told them I never received it. Have (unfortunately) been there twice and would not go back again. Much better options and prices at other places in Wellington.

Should not be advertised as a Mexican restaurant. Having tacos in the menu doesn’t make it Mexican, you need to have the flavours right. Terrible Mexican food. Two of the sides my friends chose were not available, the dessert I wanted to try also not available and then we were asked to hurry and leave because the table was reserved. What a service!

I adored Sweet Mother’s Kitchen. Atmosphere very upbeat, service was very friendly and energetic. Food was particularly good, very tasty and not overwhelming spices used like other Mexican restaurants in Wellington. Would definitely recommend and return!

Great atmosphere… would recommend it for coffee or a drink with friends. BUT the service is terrible (extremely rude staff) and the food is actually really expensive for what it is. My side dishes reminded me of my Gran’s retirement home food!

Great food and service – and even though one of the menu items gave me a bad case of the hershey squirts for a couple of days, I’d still have no reservations about recommending this place to anyone.

Interesting menu choices, our table got a range of most things. Delicious but very fatty cooking methods, traditional curly fries & cream sauces left me with an oily taste in my mouth & felt bit queesy next couple days – can’t be good for you to do too often, but ok for special occasion!
Colorful atmos & friendly staff.

Great mexican-styled well-priced food in a relaxed and funky atmosphere, excellent range of mexican beers to boot. Best mexican food I’ve had in NZ.
