Pambazos at the Mexican Maya Company, Ponsonby International Foodcourt, Auckland

By the time I thought to document the Pambazos, I was halfway through my meal - this was the first time I'd tried it. We had to wait an extra long time so I paid no mind when I dug in, the pambazos' 'buns' are deep-fried with potatoes and salsa in the middle, accompanied by salad, salsa and rice. All for the grand sum of NZ$10.51. I mention this because I've often thought the Mexican place to be a bit on the steep side, this dish totally disproved that though.

And in between the buns, yummy potatoey, cheesy, lettucey.

My friend, Beans, finishing up an identical order. Note the empty plates, a good sign of a good meal.
