1 LOCO
BRAAMFONTEIN, JOHANNESBURG
Say hello to Jozi’s new contemporary Mexican restaurant and tequila bar, Loco. At the forefront of the next revival of Braamfontein, the space has all the makings of a festive eatery and bar, with all your favourite Mexican dishes on offer, plus an extensive collection of niche tequilas – “from global makers to celebrity fakers”.
“Loco is, as its name suggests, a bold – some misconstrue as crazy – undertaking. It’s contrarian and unexpected, it’s a Play Braamfontein in-house design special that’s engineered to showcase what’s possible in the area once again,” says owner Adam Levy, whose vision is to turn Braamfontein into a world-class, forward-thinking neighbourhood.
Not just for evenings out, Loco does breakfast and coffee and free Wi-Fi, so it’s the perfect work-play combo.
