Pronto Burger - Tauranga

The restaurant was supposed to open on December 24, but it didn't. So, we drove from Auckland to visit it again, and it was definitely worth the trip! I loved the Scotch burger—it's an old-school style burger that you really need to bite into with a full mouth!

I just experienced one of the best culinary surprises in a long time! The cocktails and frozen rosé were fantastic, paired perfectly with the garlic and herb mussels—pure bliss! To top it all off, I had one of the best burgers I've ever tasted. Each of the five burgers was a solid 10/10! I can’t wait to return!

Best Burger in town.Fresh Food, cooked from Scratch with local ingredients.Beer... Burger... Beautiful Beach.Good location to enjoy in after beach

After a walk up the Mount we were definitely keen for a burger! Pronto was right across the road from the beach with the rest of the cafe strip. There were a few empty tables when we entered which quickly filled up. We decided to get takeaway and eat at the beach and went ahead and ordered quickly. Service at the counter was very friendly : It was pretty slow being so busy, and half our party got their burgers first. One person suggested since we were already at a table that perfectly fit us that we might as well eat here instead of letting half the food get cold. No sooner had this been said before one of the staff asserted that we were not allowed to do this because we got takeway. We didn't find this particularly friendly or accommodating but dutifully watched our burgers cool down as we waited for the others. We ate our food under the trees by the beach which was a perfect spot for a gorgeous day. The burgers were decent, though I was unsure why quite so many options had blue cheese it was a bit overpowering for me in my beef and mushroom burger. The burger could have also done with more relish to give it a bit of a foil for the strong blue cheese. My beef patty was quite crispy and yummy but a couple of my friends reported theirs were overcooked. The chicken options were a bit of let down mostly because the boxes had been mislabelled causing the peri peri to be labelled as plain chicken. Even when the actual peri peri was tried, it was pretty weak flavoured aint no nandos style. The mix up was pretty frustrating. The scotch fillet was a very thin slice of meat but reportedly tasty. The bread used for the burgers was a pale turkish bread style bun which was ok. Overall a pretty good burger (and decent sized , but nothing to write home about. Still looking for a really good meal in the Tauranga area! Let me know your favourite.

Cute little cafe in the cutest small town ever! Loved the food. Very reasonably priced.Once my training is over I will definitely come back to indulge in their hot chocolate!Apart from that loved the mussels in creamy garlic sauce!
