Auckland Eats

We have found two amazing things in Auckland that Sydney is totally lacking. These are two VERY important things that must be located wherever I am going to live.

American Style Pizza and Mexican Food!

I found Sal’s Famous New York Pizza in Auckland while surfing online and thought that it is probably some tourist trap that is there to suck in all the Americans searching for good pizza. We went to Sal’s one night last week and it was like a little taste of home. The sauce was perfect the cheese was fabulously greasy and there were no strange ingredients on it like mussels or avocados or eggs. So, I folded it in half, let the grease drip out and thought about home.

One of Jason’s co-workers in the Sydney office told him about the Mexican Café on Victoria Street and we went straight there our first night in Auckland. We got tacos and enchiladas and it came with rice and beans and the atmosphere was colorful and fun as you would expect at any good Mexican place. We ordered a pitcher of margaritas and lived happily after not having good Mexican food for eight months. God only knows who was in the kitchen as I haven’t seen a Mexican since arriving here but nice work whoever it was! I thought that maybe we were biased that night because we were exhausted and didn’t know of anywhere else to go but we had it again the other night and it did not disappoint. Man, I love Mexican food!

**Sorry to all my friends in Sydney where this just doesn’t exist. I’m sure your mouths are watering just hearing about it.
