Last year in October, I planned to meet up with one of my close friends for drinks and dinner. For the venue, we chose Super Loco, a Mexican-inspired 'Cocina Y bar' resonating a fun, festive and casual environment. My love of Mexican food is well documented on my blog and for a Friday evening, the two of us couldn't think of a more suitable place to hang out.
Super Loco at Robertson Quay opened in 2014 and is located along the Singapore River at The Quayside, beside Intercontinental Hotel.
I have always loved going to the hip Robertson Quay enclave. I used to go there frequently before my children were born. It used to be a common occurrence to have dinner at one of the many restaurants there with either my husband or my University friends and then saunter over to Laurent Bernard Chocolatier for dessert 😊
Super Loco at Robertson Quay boasts an awesome location by the Singapore river. My friend and I reached the restaurant before the reservation time so we could spend some time chatting while walking along the river and taking pictures.
You really can't miss the restaurant. It is the cheerful vibe and bright colors that catches your attention almost immediately.
I could tell that this place was very popular with both the local crowd as well as expats, judging by how quickly the tables were filling up. Loco means crazy so just by the name, you can tell that this is going to be a fun place to hang out!
The space is large and feels inviting and festive. There were plenty of tables which were arranged in different configurations - outdoor and indoor seating as well as high and low seating options. A rock rubble wall encases the kitchen. I loved the use of bright and bold colors for the décor. The pinks, yellows and greens show up in the furniture, the long bar counter, festive lighting and the wall art which reflect the spirit of the streets of Mexico. The pops of color adds to the lively quotient of the restaurant.
At the time of our visit, the Covid-19 restrictions allowed only two diners per table. Super Loco had modified the table configuration to suit two diners.
We were greeted by a friendly staff member who handed us the menus. I was impressed with the innovative menu. There were lots of choices even for vegetarians.
Thumbs up for the great alcohol beverage selection! From cocktails to beers, wine and tequila, they have everything covered. The bar also features a refreshing selection of non-alcoholic drinks commonly found on the streets of Mexico such as fruit based sodas and coolers.
We chose indoor seating but we still had a view of the river. We really liked the ambience of the place. Even though the restaurant was full, the tables were spaced far enough to enjoy conversation. The laid-back atmosphere contributed to the relaxed weekend energy.
We spent some time mulling over the drinks and the food menu. We ordered a drink each and a few dishes to share.
