The 38 Best Restaurants in Tāmaki Makaurau (Auckland, New Zealand) | Eater

"Coco’s Cantina plays an important part in the story of K’road. Opened in 2009 by sisters Damaris and Renee Coulter (Ngāti Kahu), this rustic Mediterranean-inspired eatery was one of the first buzzy restaurants on the colorful street, paving the way for the area to become the hotbed of young and diverse owner-operators it is today. While Renee now runs the operation on her own, more than 13 years later, Coco’s is cemented as a beating heart of the lively strip. Duck in for drinks or a plate of spaghetti and meatballs before browsing the surrounding thrift shops and bars. — HE" - Hillary Eaton

This place is always buzzing with people, even late at night. I’d heard a rumour a while ago that it might be closing down &...I hope that’s not true! The staff are all super friendly and make you feel like an old friend, which makes the whole experience really enjoyable. I ordered a drink and a pizza during Happy Hour. The Margherita pizza had that beautiful wood-fired look and a lovely thick, bready base. It was so authentic that I couldn’t believe it was only $15. I also tried Coco’s Sangria...fruity, but with a nice depth and a hint of bitterness that made it stand out. It’s $14 a glass and definitely worth trying!

We were a table of 7 and had a tucked away booth. Everyone loved their meals. There were 3 vegetarians who were well catered for. Simple ingredients crafting well executed meals. Also delicious $15 margaritas!!! Our waiter was charming , attentive but not too attentive. Will definitely be back for the pizzas.

This place is such a vibe! Pizza is absolutely delicious and drinks hit right. And you can tell that people who work enjoy being there, as they always serve with big smiles on their faces. I wish I could go back there ❤️

Came here with a friend recently for dinner. The food was nice and well presented if a bit small in price. The servers were nice but the bartender was rather indifferent and dismissive to me when we first entered and inquired about dining options. The price of the food here is also quite high but for a fine dining experience its nice. Good for a one time try or if you enjoy fancy food but I won't be returning anytime soon.

Absolutely amazing service, food, drinks and company. Brought the group back for a second night to re-experience the food and the good vibes! Shout out to Nathan, what an absolute legend!

We hired out the courtyard area for a birthday dinner and had an amazing time. The service was phenomenal, the staff went above and beyond to make sure we were catered for and always checked up on us despite it being a very busy night. The food and drinks were also delicious and everything came out just at the right time. We were very impressed by the quality of service and would definitely recommend this place. The space was also very nice and they decorated and set up the tables beautifully. Loved the feature of being able to order for yourself through your phone, so our guests were able to order any time and we never had to leave our area. Will absolutely come back!
