Live around Takapuna. A lot of the restaurants around serve same slightly boring fare. El Humero is different thanks goodness. Lovely South American food that is cooked really well. Staff are really friendly and accomodating

I never thought I would be able to walk into a restaurant in Takapuna and speak Spanish. El Humero is an authentic taste of South America. The centerpiece of the restaurant is the parilla, or wood-fired grill. All of the meat dishes are beautifully prepared....More

We had the best time at El Humero. Food was outstanding, staff were welcoming and friendly and you get to chat with the chef as the open fire kitchen is right in front of you. I'm coming back to try the ribs ❤️

A cosy restaurant down an arcade festooned with fairy lights. It is rather straightforward menu for mains. Pick a protein, pick a traditional sauce, select a side and it all comes with a salad. There is a simple yet diverse wine list. Some traditional wines...More
