El Coqui Puerto Rican Cuisine

Great choices. I had the chicken thighs with rice, beans, plantains and fresh veggies on the side. Incredible amount of food. Coconut flan for dessert and a doggie bag .

A must try-out restaurant

Always amazing! There was one time with a ride lady but food is always great and we appreciate you!

Well, I would share pictures of the food, but it was so good I ate it too fast. Lol. Brought my mother who's visiting from Puerto Rico. The food and service were wonderful as always. This place has never disappointed me. We drove 2.5 hours just to eat here today ;). And I don't regret it.

Very nice Puerto Rican restaurant in downtown Santa Rosa. They have great, tasty food and it actually impressed me. The plantains, chicken and fish, were cooked to perfection. Unfortunately the service on the other hand was horrible. Took 35 minutes for drinks to come out, and waitress on her phone. The sangrias were not authentic, not even a little bit. The rice pudding dessert was a 10/10

Always good

Awesome food full of flavor and great service.

Having eaten countless times at another, super-popular Puerto Rican restaurant in San Rafael, I was hoping to convince my partner of how awesome the food was. The food was, indeed, good. (Although the pique is runny and bland.) But things went south when my guy — an elderly gentleman of Native American and Mexican heritage — asked for tortillas. The waitress pretended to understand, but when they didn’t show up, and we asked again — not knowing that there is only one culturally permissible option when dining on Puerto Rican cuisine — and were icily informed the restaurant had nothing of that nature. It would’ve been cool if the waitress had said, “we have pan sobao instead, would you like that?” Cuz my poor guy just wanted something breadlike to accompany his rice & beans. Nope. We were left alone (at the time there were only 4 tables with 2 waitstaff) — had to search out the one restroom by ourselves and fetch our own carry out boxes — until it was time to see if we would order dessert to increase the size of our bill. Was this a classist thing? I.e., that only an ignorant peasant would ask for something as low brow as a tortilla? (giggle) Dunno. But from now on, we will drive the extra 45 minutes in another direction for our comida puertorriqueña.
