Cantinas are found the world over, originally from Italy. They are now casual eating and drinking establishments found anywhere from Rome to Havana and now Karangahape Rd Auckland.

Our food is rustic Italian with influences from the Mediterranean, but we also do one of the best steaks in town. The menu changes with the seasons but we run nightly specials to keep our regulars happy.

Sangria in the summer and mulled wine in the winter, great cocktails and a well stocked bar means coco’s is great for an afternoon drink. The wine list has a good balance of international and local wines that are interesting and affordable (sorry no BYO). The atmosphere most nights is pretty bustling although the courtyard out the back and people watching on K.Rd can be more chilled out. Our service is slick, fun and no nonsense, we look forward to seeing you.

Please note: coco’s isn’t for everyone, it’s a busy cantina with a lively bar, you may have to squish up on to a small table, wait for longer than is ideal, change tables, even do a swap to the bar but this is all part of the experience of coco’s cantina.
