El Humero

Tucked away on Hurstmere Road in Takapuna's Eat Street, El Humero brings something truly unique to Auckland's dining scene, New Zealand's first traditional Colombian-style barbecue restaurant. Since 2015, it's been transporting guests straight to Colombia through the sights, smells, and bold flavours of authentic wood-fired and charcoal grilling.

Watch your meal come to life right in front of you as meats are grilled over open flame and slow-smoked over manuka wood. From crispy deep-fried empanadas and longaniza sausage to the legendary 24-hour smoked short ribs, punta de anca, and marinated pork shoulder, every dish is generous, full of flavour, and paired with your choice of sides and sauces. Complemented by South American wines and a lively, welcoming atmosphere, El Humero is a true standout on the North Shore.
