Yet I have middling feelings, mostly because while I enjoyed my parradilla, I wasn't amazed by it either. The beef was an okay cut, but had to be cut very small less it be too chewy. Pork was probably the best part of the meal and a massive portion, while the lamb was... I really wanted to like it, but it didn't have the wonderful seasoning and flavor I was hoping for. Seemed almost more like it could have been pulled lamb than the lamb chop I was hoping, so maybe it's just my expectations being off? Wine list is solid and the service is pretty good. 3.5 stars seems right.

And also have your choice of 3 different arepas and a TON of fillings?! Yeah, that's why you need to give this place a go. Fast and friendly service and I'm glad we got a chicken arepa and a beef arepa (my son of course just got the plain cheese filled arepa) because they were such a nice compliment to each other. The beef was soooooo soft and it was just overflowing in the arepa! Same with the chicken, very generous with the fillings here! We also tried the cassava fries with the mojo sauce and wowwww, these were just delicious! I wasn't sure what to expect but it was so good. About the same consistency as a fry but the taste is different - yummy different tho! And the sauce! I would've loved to take some of that home yummmm. Even tho you have so many choices here at Ponsonby Central, be sure to stop over here at Olas!

We visited this restaurant before opening and loved the decorations... when hunting for food at the right time (during opening hours) we came back for dinner! The staff were super cool and showed great friendliness towards the kids. The salsa that came with the corn chips was delicious and I was tempted to get another round! They were quickly followed by an impressive ceviche (perfectly done). We enjoyed three flavours of tacos and everyone chomped some grilled corn! With friendly attentive staff, rapid service and delivery and delicious food you are on a winning combo! We would definitely return!

I really love Latin American food, so I was very eager to know this place. The atmosphere is quite…read morenice and cozy, with a cool decoration. The food was simply amazing. It's easy to find good ceviche but really hard to find exceptional ceviche, and this is one of them; reminds me of the ones I've had back in Peru. I also like spicy food, the kind that later you almost regret eating. If you like it as well, this is the place to go and ask for the Diabla Prawns. The staff was also very kind and friendly. An excellent experience throughout.

I don't know how I ended up dining at this place, and it's not like anything terrible happened, but…read moreI'm unlikely to return. The service is okay, it's not amazing. The location is lovely - looking out over the water at all those boats. Beautiful on a stunning Auckland summer day. ... But the food is just average. I ordered bacon and eggs on ciabatta. And while you can't exactly screw that up, you can make it pretty average - which is exactly what this place did. The bacon was terrible quality, it was covered in fat and it came out looking horrible on the plate, just dumped on the side. My poached eggs hadn't been drained properly and were watery tasting as well, so that made the bread taste awful. The bread wasn't well toasted, it was somewhere in between... I just don't get it. I could have got better at home, and I wouldn't have paid $18 for it. The muesli that my friends ordered was bland and didn't come with any yoghurt, so it looked dry as anything. Coffee was average, it wasn't disgusting but it wasn't great. It's just... pretty average. It seem clearly to me that this is a place that relies solely on its location.

Just... relied too much on the thick piece of bread to be imposing, so basically you have to really like carbs, at least for this particular dish!
