Nice ambience, good service and yummy, affordable tapas style food. Ordered the arepitas (which came with guac and a capsicum salsa), Mushroom arepas, lentil & pear salad and the lava cake. The mushroom arepas were delicious and well flavoured, the arepitas were reminiscent of a cornbread tater tot but the real hero was the incredible guacamole they came with. The lentil salad had a nice flavour and good texture with the lightly charred broccoli. The lava cake could have done with more lava and was a little burnt on the bottom, but overall very tasty. Appreciated their range of vegetarian and gluten free options
The food, margarita and service was above and beyond! We had the beef and chicken tacos, pork belly arepa and the yucca chips. Will be coming back very soon. Cannot recommend enough.
Had lunch here on a quiet Sunday afternoon, food was great. We got a couple of tacos, the chicken skewers and totopos, plus a few beers. Service was good; attentive and efficient but not over bearing. Would definitely come back.

Its an ideal spot for catch up with friends, enjoy a pizza (they have wooden fire oven) and the happy hour!
Been there 3 times and the last one there was just one waiter, he was awesome, gave everyone an amazing service!
Every time I come here I feel the warmth from the staff and the service makes the experience even better. I usually come here for drinks and nibbles but recommend them all round. Amazing menu, kind staff, good service and the food is well priced and delicious. Thanks for being a warm comforting place to drink and eat on ponsonby road. Such an awesome place can’t recommend enough
The food is as beautiful as the people who work there. Well, almost. Have never had food that wasn’t delicious. Amazing atmosphere. My favourite place in Auckland 💚
A great place to hang out with friends in weekends. Nice, rustic ambience, friendly staff and food totally worth the price. Place might be cramped up on weekends but waiting will not disappoint you.
I would love to go to Peru to taste some authentic fresh ceviche, those delicious raw tuna salads, though my non-seafood eating husband might have a hard time. When you are on Ponsonby road you are always spoilt for choice but also overwhelmed with the choices because there are so many good places you could go. However if you are looking for a non fussy place with good vibes and cool music options, I would recommend you to stop by here, Conch kitchen & bar.
Conch is one of my regular favourites. Great people, great environment and great food. A good selection of beers and other drinks. You have to get the yucca chips.

Bartender was really friendly. Ambience is nice on a weekday. Rum cola was good, the staff offered a few chocies for the type of rum which was good.
If you're a foodie - you Must try the menu here, the chef's outdone herself 🤤
Interesting and mouth watering flavours, great service, delicious cocktails.
We tried the lamb rump on fermented polenta with Marmite butter - one of the best dishes I've ever had. The Szechuan and chimichurri steak and grilled Daikon were also up there.
The vibe was chill also, with some booths and more open seating too.
Only wish I could have polenty more!
Looking for a chilled night out and good food and margaritas. This is a greenlight. The pineapple margarita has a smokey flavour, which i havent tried before it's a winner.
Wanted to have a quick dinner and ended up staying a little longer to try the margaritas and some. The place and background music is a vibe.
Staff are friendly, service and clearing of our table was quick. Bathrooms clean.
Good chilled night out.
Food is outstanding! We had the potatoes, goat and chicken skewers, Achiote Fish and the most outstanding Banana Curry!
A very creative menu with complex flavours and lovely variety. Staff were friendly and made us a delicious espresso martini. Feel very welcome and cosy.
The food is incredible and the chef is absolutely amazing!!
Great service and cool, chill vibe
We had the best night and definitely will be back soon for some more delicious food and drinks :)
Came here for dinner with my mum. Very cool cozy atmosphere with private wooden booths out the back which was a perfect setting for a catch up with dinner. We shared the fish, kumara, leek and daikon which were all fantastic. Lots of interesting flavours, will definitely be back to try the rest. Hidden Gem.

Easy place to get to, centrally located, cool booths at the back for a catch-up with friends. Conch provides a good variety of food and cocktails at affordable prices. Tonight we had the yucca chips with aioli (yucca = root of the cassava plant, similar texture to potatoes), beef taco, red kidney bean taco, Margherita pizza, and lava cake for dessert. Good quality and good to see the "lava" flowing from the cake. I have previously had the fish taco but was mildly disappointed because the fish was under-seasoned. However, it is quite good when combined with the dressing - just make sure your bite has a bit of everything.
Great range of food to cater for our vegan & non-vegan friends, amazing service from Nicholas who crafted personalized cocktails for us - cute spot for chill Sunday dinner & drinks
Best place in Auckland for tacos - they are amazing! If you go at not too busy times it’s really fast to get your food. I like their black bean tacos the best and their sparking water with lime is also really good. The staff, especially the manager or the guy who runs the floor is excellent. He’s always really friendly but efficient too, knows how to manage a restaurant for sure. Two thumbs up!
Stuffed pepper w fresh corn polenta is a must to try! 👍
Amazing food, beer and the friendliest stay combine with a great vibe to make this a must visit place in Ponsonby.
