    We had a great time at Poco Loco. Great food and staff were very helpful. The croquettes are a must try! Must visit if you’re after authentic Spanish tapas.

    The menu had me excited from the beginning and when the food was presented on the table, it definitely did not disappoint! 🤩 we had a bit of everything plus dessert and the stand out for me was the fried vegetable crisps and the ribs. Both had an amazing flavour and will keep bringing me back. The food portion recommendations were spot on as well. Two servings will keep you happy and a third will send you into a cheerful food coma. Add dessert onto that and you’re in for a good time. Will definitely visit again soon.

    Absolutely stunning! The food is so flavourful and delicious! We shared 6 tapas for 2 of us and that was more than enough, the stand out for me was the caramelised onion croquettes and the vegetable fries with balsamic, the service here is also 10/10. I had a pimms cocktail with dinner which was also really good! The ribs are also pretty delicious, so good!

    Gorgeous Spanish style restaurant. Lots of indoor and enclosed outdoor seating. Friendly welcome and service throughout. Amazing menu with a great assortment of tapas sharing plates. Delicious!!! Various meat and vegan selections. Well priced. Tried the recommended Spanish wine and it suited the meal perfectly! Highly recommend an evening here with family and friends.

    Really enjoyed Poco Loco last night. Two of us shared 3 plates and a garlic bread and that was more than enough for us. the Croquettes were delicious as was the lamb. We had the sliders and I expected them to be much smaller so I was pleasantly surprised by their generous size. I am keen to get back and try some more of the menu.

    If you haven't been for a few years definitely give it another try. The food,service and the wine list have improved dramatically. The menu has regained some authenticity. Empanadas were spot on. Worth a look.

    The service and food was good honestly amazing. I have never received such attentive customer service. We celebrated my mums birthday there, they brought the dessert out with a candle - which was completely unexpected but extremely thoughtful. They really appreciate their customers. A solid 10/10 experience - will be revisiting very soon!

    Great place to have a meal. Staff are fun and kind, constantly wanting to know if everything meets expectations. Inside it is ambient and has a great atmosphere. Food was super tasty and the variety is really good for a group as you can all try a bit of everything. Drinks I thought were great for the price - I mean a coke costs $7 now - so for around $10 you get something a bit different than the usual. Deserts were great too. All round it was a bit of a gold mine to find. Thanks!

    You have to try it! Great service and awesome food and drinks, please try the empanadas and the prawns, they are next level! I was lucky enough to have a special available that day, was provoleta (I think that’s how it’s call) really nice cheese with a very very good bread definitely try it. I will came back for sure.

    On holiday in Auckland found us at Poco Loco. We realized we'd been here before about 5 years ago, and enjoyed it then. The staff, although young, were able to recommend the sangria, which were delicious. The also recommended getting at least 5 dishes. We did, but it was one dish too much as we had an affregato for dessert. The atmosphere , service and hospitality were excellent. Highly recommend if you're near Pukekohe.

    My friend rang to book a table here and they told her they wouldn’t be able to book us in after 7:30pm (they shut at 9:30pm). I arrived at the restaurant at 7:15pm and there was quite a few tables free and she said she had to check with the manager that we we’re allowed to have dinner there? We eventually got a seat but when I enquired about the portion sizes, I was told they were really small so I would need to order around 3 dishes. When the dishes came out they were normal size, so it’s lucky me and my friend decided not to listen to the waitress. The food itself was quite tasty, but I feel the service could have been better and the price is far too steep for what you get.

    Food was nice. Some of it felt great value for money, the non meat dishes felt unsatisfyingly over priced. There was a big party happening on the inside so we sat outside, the staff couldn't cope with catering to our group and the large group inside so we kept getting forgotten about. The server was very apologetic which was OK when he forgot to come back to us but not great when he forgot to write down half our order. I will try going here again but only on a standard night for them.

    We had a delicious dinner at Poco Loco, got a selection of plates to share tapas style, and everything was really tasty! Not huge portions but still filling. Sangria and desserts were also incredible. Staff were super lovely, attentive, friendly and great service!
