Great upscale restaurant with fine food. Nice treat for the family

We went to Koko for a late lunch, and it was an amazing experience! The weather was fantastic, making the outdoor seating the perfect spot to enjoy a relaxing meal. We started with the guacamole, which was good—nothing extraordinary—but the big, round chips it came with were a nice touch. The short ribs tacos were exceptional, bursting with flavor and cooked to perfection. The highlight of the meal was definitely the sea bass with green mole—a dish that was both unique and absolutely delicious. For dessert, we tried the flan, which was soft, not too sweet, and a perfect pairing with a cortadito. For drinks, we ordered a passion fruit margarita and a tamarindo margarita, both refreshing and well-made. The service was excellent—friendly, attentive, and the food was served quickly, which added to the overall experience. The combination of great food, fantastic weather, and a comfortable outdoor setting made for a memorable afternoon. I’ll definitely be back to try more!

Great atmosphere. Delicious food and large portions.

The food was delicious. The service was great, Ekaterina was amazing. Thank you!

Second time going to this restaurant, this last time was not the best. The meats served had no real taste and the whole time i was there, i was mainly only served lamb even though i paid for the full experience of multiple meats available.
