    Went with my friend on a Wednesday night around 5:30pm, it was pretty empty, but more people arrived closer to 6:30/7pm. It is restaurant week and it is $30/person for three course meal. And $5 margaritas on their regular menu. For our first course, my friend had the pozole de pollo soup, which she said was delicious and I had the elote. It was tasted great. For our second course, she had the carne asada with fries and I had the chimichanga with tortilla chips. Not sure why the chimichanga was served with chips, I would've preferred it with fries. We loved both of our meals. We tried each of the desserts (tiramisu and churros). We definitely recommend checking El Coco out for restaurant week.

    Lovely, staff were so kind and attentive. Our food picturesque, flavorful, really to die for, if I’m being honest. Our drinks were well balanced, hats off to the bartender, truly superb.

    This place is fantastic! Great food and drinks for the value! Friendly service, and it can be a vibe on certain days. Can't wait to try the other locations they have.
