Place is fun!! I saw a couple double fist drinks, lol. I was like "good sign." I brought my kids, and it was fine, but I'd like to come back without them. Food was good. I really enjoyed mine. I must commend the staff. I mistakenly typed too much money in the tip. Our waiter alerted me, and I was able to fix it. I don't remember your name, but thanks!!!! I must recommend this place for that alone. When I'm in the area, watching a show at Joyce Theater, I'll stop by.
Amazing Mexican Food & Great Vibes! I had an incredible dining experience at Coco! The food was absolutely ...
The food here is fresh and flavorful! Arrived with friends of four and we were sat quickly. The drinks are gooood and the vibe was fun. Carlos took care of us at our table. He was knowledgeable and a joy to be around. The experience he gave us is why people go out to eat, it’s to have fun with others. We had drinks apps and dinner plates. A great night out. The food, drinks, Carlos, the music... I will definitely come back here for another fun night out.
Came in for the 5 margaritas and stayed for the tacos and services. Javier was great, super friendly and professional, would definitely come back for the super chill vide and good food.
The tacos was HELLA GOOD! I got a skirt steak, shrimp, pork, short ribs tacos they was really good everything was great!!! The service was very good! My waiter Javier kept the drinks coming and pick up our plates as soon we were done. Extremely good drinks! ONLY 8 DOLLAR MARGARITAS. Must try must go!! They even have a lunch special till 4pm.
I checked out El Coco's Chelsea location last night and truly enjoyed everything from the service, to the food, and especially the drinks. Our server was Carlos and he was a great help when we asked for recommendations or suggestions off of the menu. We tried the El Coco Margarita which is a coconut flavored margarita (as per his recommendation) and it was delicious! Definitely will order more when I go back. It's so cute inside & of course they play great music! They have a location on the UWS and and Hell's Kitchen. We were told that Fridays & Saturdays they have a DJ, so we will definitely be back!!
Javier is exceptional! I was alone during a happy hour and his face is just so welcoming. He made me feel like a 5 star guest and it’s great to know they are nice people still in this crazy city. Shrimp tacos ARE BOMB!
Ok it’s loud and gets crowded but it’s fun and drinks are cheap! 5 margs all day - probably not the best tequila but if you upgrade it’s still only 8
