Cocos Cantina

I was completely enthralled to finally have dinner and drinks at Coco’s Cantina in K Rd and fortunately we were able to get a table immediately outside. The staff were super attentive and knowledgeable about the food menu and the wine list was impressive.
We ordered the house cured fish with grapefruit, capers and onion which was fishy tasting and unfortunately it was due to the type of fish used whereby the brown flesh left an unpleasant flavour. Thankfully we had our glasses of Montepulciano to rescue our tastebuds.
The mains of smoked ricotta ravioli with chervil lemon butter and walnuts, scotch fillet with bernaise, chips and cos leaves and organic lamb in salsa verde and a contorni of balsamic asparagus were exquisite and most redeeming of the ill chosen primi. Absolute silence flooded the table as we moreishly relished our meals and the excellent staff kept our glasses flowing!
The ambiance and liveliness if Cocoa Cantina was intoxicating and the perfect way to spend an early Friday evening! Highly recommended with sabor!

A personal favourite and an ideal place to spend an evening (if you can get a table). The chicken parfait is to die for and the staff are sweethearts.

This is my favorite restaurant in Auckland. Informal, relaxed , great staff and reliably delicious food. The italian style is perfectallyear.

An enjoyable night out with friends. Good, honesty food, great atmosphere and yummy cocktails. We had a selection of entrees, mains and sides - all were good, but no real standouts.

Cosy warm and personable. The wine list is great. The pork belly and fennel apple slaw is just woooow and ridiculously good they complement each other so well. If you are looking for the best tiramisu this part of town this place we’ll do it for you!! I am a huge fan and we’ll be paying a visit again.
