KOKO

“The food was exceptional, especially the blue corn tortillas and enchiladas. Our waiter, Gus, made the night even better. He encouraged us to explore the menu, suggested great options, was incredibly funny with us and our teenagers, and truly elevated the experience.”

“KOKO Coconut Grove exceeded all my expectations. The food was absolutely delicious, beautifully presented, and full of flavor. The atmosphere is stylish, welcoming, and perfect for any occasion, whether it’s a casual meal, a special celebration, or a business lunch. The service was attentive and professional, making the entire experience even more enjoyable. I highly recommend KOKO to anyone looking for great food, an amazing ambiance, and a memorable dining experience. I will definitely be coming back!”

“Koko in the Grove is wonderful! So happy to have this place So close to my house. Beautiful and vibrant decor and atmosphere. They have a variety of margaritas to choose from as well as other libations. We went with the Queso fundido To start with And then we each had two variations of the Mole. I’ve been to a couple of other Mexican restaurants and Koko by far has been the best. Not everyone can make a great mole, just sayin. Another round of margaritas, please!, as we enjoy the people watching in this beautiful ambience. We ended our meal with A wonderful bread pudding. I may have the name wrong, so please refer to the photo that I took just before digging in. I want to call out the Great staff that works there. They were all so friendly and serviceable, from the bartender to the waiter to the food runner. Got to meet them all and then they’re all super cool. The manager came by and introduced himself and was so pleasant and personable that he chatted with us for a while. His name is Wilson (Like in “Castaways”) But more talkative. Thank you, Wilson and our wonderful waiter for making this birthday celebration so special.”

“We ate there 3 nights in a row on vacation, while staying in Coconut Grove What more do you need to know? :-) The food was delicious and nicely presented. The restaurant decor is stylish, the vibe relaxed and unpretentious. The servers are high energy, work quickly , and double as hosts - going out of their way to talk to customers , recommend food and drink, and be friendly. Even to tables that they’re not responsible for. I hope Kokos know what a difference they make to the dining experience. Highly, highly recommended!”

“The food and decor were amazing, but unfortunately the service and atmosphere took away from the experience. We came in during the day, around 12, hoping to enjoy our only day off together. We originally sat at the bar, but within five minutes we closed our check and asked to move to a table because the bartender seemed either like he was having a bad day or like we were bothering him. While we were there, it seemed like staff was doing some type of inventory behind the bar. We noticed liquor bottles being married during service, loud staff conversations that we could hear from about 20 feet away over our own voices, and the person doing inventory was also stepping and standing on top of the bar right next to the service well. That honestly made us feel gross and uncomfortable. Our server at the table was much better, but even after we shared that we were excited to explore the menu and drinks, there wasn’t much engagement or guidance. About 40 minutes later, we had our check and ended up walking a few blocks to CHOP to continue enjoying our day. Beautiful place with great food, but the daytime service felt tense, loud, and disconnected. It was disappointing because the restaurant itself has a lot going for it.”
