Food was really good; I had the bowl that I got to customize. The service was really great; they came around with shots for everyone. The music was really good, great DJ! The drinks were great too for a great price! Really strong :) Will be returning soon!

I am from kentucky and decided to go to NYC in January for $$ and less of a crowd. Food- AMAZING!!! I got the camarones quesadilla w/ jack cheese, rice, no beans. As an appetizer we orders chips and guacamole and i kid you not it was the best guacamole I have ever ate. Oh yeah, The shrimp was cooked PERFECTLY. Waitress? Couldn’t be better. Melissa is everything I want to be as a person and I completely and absolutely adore her. Drinks are cheap and strong.Atmosphere- so much fun and welcoming!! They play music loud to where you can’t help but to dance 11/10 recommend for every meal!!!

Cheap margs & really great food! Definitely will be coming back here. Had a party of 10 set for a reservation but there had been a small issue with them finding it but was resolved afterwards. This is great for any occasion or just to grab a few round of drinks . A few are around 5$+ and really good

El Coco actually has several restaurant locations in Manhattan. They have a reputation of serving decent Mexican food at cheap prices. And cheap it is. Their all day menu includes $5 margaritas, $3 empanadas, and $4 tacos. I came with a group of people and we were all satisified. The place was relatively crowded but we were served quickly. All of the food and drinks were actually great and authentic quality. This is not a Tex-Mex place like most Mexican places in Manhattan. For example, the tacos were a good portion size and tasted great with onions, cilantro, limes, pico de gallo and salsa. The meat in our food was juicy and very well seasoned. As expected, the margaritas are on the smaller side. But considering they start at $5, you can get several more and the bill will still be cheaper than most Mexican places in Manhattan.

It's a fun place to vibe out in, but not the best on a Friday night if you actually want to have a conversation with the person/people that you came with. I had the shrimp and crab empanadas that was delish. I also had the chicken quesadilla. I took stone of the quesadilla home and had it the for leftovers the following day. I almost fell out when I was cutting it and found a twist tie INSIDE MY QUESADILLA. I thought it was cheese at first. How could that have happened. That was VERY negligent. That's the reason I gave the food a low score.

a bit pricey for the size of my quesadilla, but it was very good! worth coming back to for a special occasion

It was okay, maybe its more lively at night but when we cane in it was us and 1 other table, no music so it felt a little underwhelming for how pretty it is. Food was great! We had empanadas, tacos, esquites, and margaritas. I personally don’t like that they serves the empanadas in paper bags. It didn’t feel like a meal, it felt more like take out. Although a very pretty take out bag, it was unnecessary. Margarita was a classic and I liked it but even that came in a pretty regular glass. Overall it was very nice, I’m just not sure if its memorable. I would have preferred going to Bodges and Counter which is close by!

I went to El Coco a few days ago and I had an awesome experience. My server Maria was the sweetest and brought our drinks and food as fast as possible. I would definitely recommend visit El Coco and if by any chance having Maria as your server as you will have no qualms.
