our story

The Flying Burrito Bros. have landed… the MEX-Gen Brothers from another mother are three great mates from around New Zealand. They joined forces, and are on a mission to have a whole lot of yeeeepppaaahhh fun, creating some awesomely traditional MEXcellent food for Kiwi Mexican food lovers, plus showcase the flair and colour of some fabulous Mexican drinks.

Meet the boys, Antonio, Terry and Muz.

Antonio aka Ants is a city boy from Auckland who loves fishing and the land of the long white cloud. Like Sir Ed; he had a big dream; this dream involved creating the most legendary fried chicken (we reckon he knocked the chilli's out of the bastard) and is the main man behind all our Mexican food creations. When he's not out the back doing the dishes or getting stuck in on the marketing side, you will find him bopping around the Coromandel in his kayak on the hunt for a cheeky snapper or two!

Terry originated from Welly Town and is responsible for finding our original Flying Burrito Brothers restaurant in Wellington way back in the good old days. He spent many years road tripping around New Zealand with his Mexican cousin Pedro, adventuring from the very top of the north island down to the bottom of the south island. The two boys got up to a few shenanigans on their nationwide tour and stopped off at many a local bar, night club and even a good-old Four Square for a sneaky morning after pie! Years of extensive drink "research" and cousin-collaboration, Terry is the mastermind behind the fantastic drink and tequila creations that we get to share with all our Flying Burrito Buddies. After road tripping around New Zealand.

Muz, the founding brother, hails from the wild West Coast of the south island. Don't you be fooled by his relaxed nature and smile; this guy is a super party boy and loves a good "knees-up" Mexican paaarrrdddeee! Muz is in charge of our events and culture at Flying Burrito Bros.

The boys believe that life is all about fun, super yummy traditional and some not so traditional Mexican food and liquor. Sharing food and drinks with your mates or family is an experience, time to relax and have a laugh about nothing at all. They hope to welcome you soon with a big FBB iHola!
