A man walks into the office looking tanned and relaxed.
"Been away?" asks his jealous colleague.
"Yeah, the wife wanted to try the Caribbean" he replied
"Jamaica?"
"No, no. She went of her own accord."

You might not be able to take your loved one all the way to Jamaica itself but you can certainly satisfy her stomach's desires with a trip to Alto Cocina. Grab a three-course meal for two for just $69 or a $50 food and beverage voucher for only $25.

A cosy yet refined addition to the Auckland dining scene, Atico Cocina makes a Caribbean splash by serving meals which invigorate with their taste and flavours. The menu also offers a rich mixture of European, South American and African flavours, which have been reflected perfectly by head chef, Peter Becker.
