This was a wonderful new experience for me. I'm visiting my sister and family in Texas and I've been eating at fabulous restaurants all week. I leave tomorrow, but this one she took me to tonight for dinner, I am stoked about. I had never heard of it, but I am so happy she decided to take me I paused to survey the menu board and decided upon The Sampler to "sample" the most on my visit. I tried the CoCo Shrimp, Lemon Herb shrimp and Butter Garlic shrimp. They were served on a bed of salad (I opted out in light of the explosive diarrhea news and lettuce recalls) and the most delicious buttery rice I have ever eaten. I had to stop as rice is a starch. I also ordered a Coco Taco and just so you know it was the absolute best thing ever. So much so I ate all my shrimp, left the rice for my nephew and ordered another taco Great friendly, patient, and informative cashiers, servers and manager. Everyone was smiling The manager came by and asked how we were doing and if we enjoyed our meal. I also saw him serving customers Bathrooms were clean and that's a Star all by itself to me. read more

Came here for q quick bite to eat. When I walked in I felt like I was back in Hawaii. They had music playing along with videos showing people surfing and jumping off cliffs. The decor was so nice. The service was great. The cashier was super nice. I ordered the coco shrimp tacos. It was 2 tacos made with flour tortillas. They grilled the tortillas and on the inside of the taco consisted of rice, coconut shrimp, lettuce, cilantro lime dressing and sweet chili sauce. I asked for the chili sauce on the side. The tacos were so good. The shrimp were a nice size. The combination of the cilantro lime dressing and sweet chili sauce was a hit. The 2 tacos are so filling. I can't wait to try other items on the menu. read more

*Ordered takeout via UberEats. The shrimp were cooked well, with a flavorful sauce and plenty of rice. Only thing to note is that a normal order comes with 6 pieces of shrimp and ordering extra shrimp was $1.25 for 1 piece. Total meal came out to be about $19 - bit pricy for 7 pieces of shrimp. Salad and dressing were decent as well. read more

I hadn't been in a while but glad to report that they are still consistent good. I'm not typically a big fan of rice in general but their rice is really good. The sweet and spicy shrimp hits the spot. Great flavors and not overly spicy. I also really like their selection of ice tea. You get a ton of food, good value for your money. read more

If you miss Hawaiian shrimp, this is the spot. I ordered two samplers and got all 5 flavors that they offered, on top of the 2 shrimp tacos. Their shrimp tacos - according to my boyfriend, who I'd like to think as a taco connoisseur - said these are the best seafood tacos who ever had, and I cannot agree more!! The shrimp plates are absolute solid - I personally love the garlic butter and the Coco shrimp. When you walked into a restaurant, it gives the local Hawaiian restaurant vibe. If you've been to a local restaurant in Hawaii, you know what I mean. I was greeted by a very friendly staff member and she gave the best recommendation. I seriously love her energy. I would definitely come back. I heard about this place whenever I scroll through Yelp and I am so glad I was in the area and able to visit this spot! Worth the anticipation! read more

This is amazing. The Shrimp and salad with rice is perfectly cooked and the spices are just right. I love both the poppyseed (sweeter) dressing and the ginger dressing (spicier). The soft tacos are also outstanding We eat in and get take away. You can order ahead and pop in to pick it up. read more

The food was absolutely amazing! I got the Butter Garlic Shrimp and the ginger salad. It was so rich, and such a full portion. I tried the Coconut Shrimp and the Sweet and Spicy. I even cried a bit because the taste was so beautiful. The taco's looked amazing as well! Only thing i personally dislike, was the cranberries in the salad, but i just picked them out and ate them separately. The service was fast, the person who took our orders, was patient whenever we needed to get a double look. And the ambience is absolutely stunning. We came in around 7:30pm. It was still light out. By time we left the lighting was a warm color, completely stunning. Pairing absolutely beautifully with the decor and general vibe. Overall, one the best restaurants I've been to in quite some time. read more

Three of us from work dined in on this day. I got the Coco Shrimp because, it IS their name. The shrimp was perfectly fried and the salad was refreshing (I went with the ginger dressing). They give A LOT of rice - enough, in fact, that I had to take most of it home. The interior is rustic, and the menu is fairly simple. If you like shrimp, they some great options from which to choose. My understanding is they based their menu on the shrimp trucks that dot Hawai'i. They did the justice. I left wanting more of their shrimps! read more

Tasty shrimp with island vibes and a few quirks Stopped by Coco Shrimp in Denton after landing at the local FBO. Overall, it's a solid spot if you're craving crispy, Hawaiian-style shrimp with fresh sides and tropical flair. The Coco Shrimp plate, hand-battered shrimp with coconut flakes, served over buttered rice and a crisp salad lives up to its name and clearly resonates with regulars. What stood out: * The shrimp is light, sweet, and just crispy enough with buttery rice and house-made dressings that bring it all together * The dining space is decked out in beachy decor (think surfboards, tropical plants) and gives unmistakable island vibes the kind of place people call a mini getaway in your neighborhood * Portions are generous. Many reviews mention each plate easily serves as a full meal or even two Room for improvement: Our group ran into delays and mix-ups with orders Insider tip: Try the Sampler Plate, three flavors, seven shrimp so you can taste your favorites without guessing. Top a combo with avocado or grilled pineapple when available, it adds a fun twist. read more

These jerks made me wait for my order when it was sitting in the window ready to be handed to me. The cashier acted casual as if the order was still being prepared, but it was clearly sitting in the window as I was watching for new orders to be placed there. A new person walks in and they made them wait for their order too when there were clearly two orders sitting in the window ready to be handed over. Cashier rung up some orders for customers and then decided it was time to hand over the orders in the window wasting my time and others for fun. read more

My wife and I stoped here about 8:00 on a Saturday night to give it a try. Overall it was a pretty good place. We both ordered the Coco Shrimp which comes with salad (we got the ginger dressing) and rice that has a very buttery flavor. The coconut shrimp is nicely done. It's about $12 for the platter which comes in a box and I will say for the amount of food it's very reasonably priced. We also got two shrimp taco that ran $10. The food overall again was really good. You get a lot of rice......we each probably didn't eat a third of the rice just because it's quite a bit. It looks like it's not a lot but it really is. The salad was fresh and the ginger dressing was excellent. I believe you can also get a poppyseed dressing. The shrimp was perfectly cooked and a great flavor. The shrimp tacos I really liked. It's just coconut shrimp with lettuce and a little bit of rice in a fried tortilla. It's just two tacos in the box so no rice or salad with it but it's plenty. We actually could have split a coconut shrimp platter and each had a taco and that would have been plenty. The only thing I don't like is the location. It shares a building with a Popeye's And the parking isn't great. I wish this place was further back in the strip center or out on its on. The interior is very casual with about 3 booths (which were all occupied and then there are tables with wooden chairs and wooden benches kind of resembling a dock/wharf feel. The signs you order from weren't the easiest to read due to the contrast of the back ground. It was fairly clean over all except for one area. One thing I didn't like was there was a huge puddle of water all around the fountain drink and tea station. They had a sign out but I was surprised the employees didn't bother to try and either mop or soak up the water. It was there the entire time we were there. Just would have like to seen a little effort so we didn't have to tiptoe around to get refills and worry about slipping on the wet ground. And I don't mean the ground was damp. It had literally a puddle of standing water. Other than that it was a good experience and I would go back for the food again. read more

Best shrimp you will eat in Denton! This is a must on Fridays during Lent and anytime you are craving shrimp!!

Love love love coco shrimp. Simply one of the best fast casual experiences. I recommend the sampler to try more of the flavors.

Simple and cute concept. I appreciate how simple the menu is. That leans to how good the food is. I got the sampler with the coco shrimp, lemon pepper shrimp and garlic butter shrimp. My favorite was the garlic butter shrimp. I ordered delivery and the service was fast. The food was flavorful and made with high quality ingredients. Thank you. read more

Coco Shrimp is amazing! The manager, Robbie (a big Texas Rangers fan), makes sure everyone's having a great time and their food is to their liking. He personally checks on each table which is really nice. The food is super delicious, especially my favorite the shrimp sampler with Sweet & Spicy, Butter Garlic, and Lemon Herb Shrimp. The salad dressing is super tasty and, surprisingly even though I usually don't like fruit or craisins in my salad, works so well together with the dressing. Even though I'm not a fan of coconut shrimp, their Sweet & Spicy shrimp is just yum! Don't go by the pictures - you'll definitely get full with just one box. Also, being from Hawaii, I can appreciate the Jawaiian -- Hawaiian-style reggae -- playlist of songs and the surf videos playing on the TV. Don't forget to bring your cup back next time, you can refill it for just 99 cents! Yes, it can get pretty busy and parking can be a bit tricky during rush hours, but trust me, the food and service are totally worth it. Highly recommend Coco Shrimp! read more

What an amazing and delicious experience!!! This spot definitely has an island vibe, I felt like I was on the beach! Every morsel of food that I ate was amazing! I ordered the sampler shrimp plate which allowed us to try 3 different flavors. Here's what I got! -coco shrimp: Hand battered and breaded with sweet coconut flakes then fried. - sweet and spicy: the coco shrimp drizzled with teriyaki and house made spicy sauce - garlic butter: sautéed shrimp tossed in garlic butter sauce and seasoned with herbs and spices. Everything came out fresh. The shrimp plate was served with a side salad which had crasins and poppy seed vinaigrette, and rice which was drizzled the the yummiest garlic butter sauce! They actually hand make their sauces and dressings daily. I'm so happy I visited this spot! The service was exceptional as well. We had the pleasure of meeting Robbie, who took excellent care of us! I can't wait to go back! read more

I've been to Coco Shrimp many, many times since learning of it (Thank you, Dee!) and it never lets me down. The staff's friendly and the service is great! The manager came around on my first visit to introduce himself and see how we were enjoying the food. He gave a very good first impression. On this particular visit, I decided to get the sampler. You can choose any 2 or 3 flavors. I went with Coco, Sweet and Spicy, and the Garlic Butter. All the shrimp entrees come with a generous portion of rice and a salad. The dressing choices for the salad are an in-house made poppy seed one and ginger. I highly recommend the poppy seed (or green one). Its like a vinegarette and slightly sweet. An amazing lunch, I must say. I have tried all of the flavors and my faves are hands down the Garlic Butter and the Coco Shrimp. I've also had the shrimp tacos... I nearly melted in my seat with the first bite. Inside each taco is rice, lettuce and of course, that sauce with the crispy, coconut-ness of the shrimp.... so good! You get 2 of them for $8 but they are nice sized tacos! You will not be disappointed with this place. read more

Coco Shrimp - Sampler: Coco Shrimp, Sweet and Spicy and Garlic Butter - Seafood Near Me - Denton, Texas

I absolutely love Coco Shrimp!! I normally get the sampler. I've probably tried all shrimp flavors and they're all good. I also like the salad with the poppyseed dressing. Definitely a fan! I just wish there was a closer location. read more

Honestly, I'm shocked I don't have a review posted, I swore I gave them one ages ago! In the last year I've ordered delivery here, both to home and work, at least 10 times and I enjoy it every time. The portions are very large for the size. In fact so large that I often get the Keiki plate instead, which is the kids meal. I'm a bit of a grazer by nature, but I cannot finish it in one sitting as the salad and rice are surprisingly filling. In fact, if I add 1 extra shrimp for $1.25 I can be satisfied off 2 meals for $7.25 plus tax. I love me a good deal! I also love that I get full before I can finish a meal here, but I don't feel heavy and uncomfortably stuffed. I'm able to go about my day without falling into a food coma and have more for later. Acknowledging I'm a grazer, even someone with a bigger appetite like my husband has a difficult time cleaning his plate off the portions here, but a lot of people could split a plate and taco and save some money. I've found the sampler a bit skewed on sides to shrimp ratio compared to the regular plate and keiki plate, I would definitely add shrimp to that one to make it more even, but that only really works if you can take the left overs or share, otherwise you just end up with extra rice and salad. It's a lot of food for only $1 more than the regular plate and does allow you to try most of the flavors. I have not tried the taco, so I'm not sure if the portion is as good of a deal as the plates are. I've tried the lemon butter, garlic and sweet and spicy shrimp, which are good, but for me it's all about the coco shrimp! It's super tasty and crispy and not greasy at all. Their rice is buttered and lightly seasoned, which will appeal to those who don't eat rice often. I grew up with plain steamed rice accompanying most meals so I don't require much out of my rice, and I find this quite yummy. What impresses me the most is their salads. Or rather I'm impressed they have me wanting to eat their salad! It's always very fresh and the dressings here are top tier! The ginger and the poppy seed are both mouth watering, you can't go wrong with either. I noticed they recently added a cilantro lime one as well. I haven't tried it yet, but everything I have tried here has been great quality so I expect it's quite good if you already like that flavor profile. I haven't been in person yet as I'm not often on that side of town without being in a rush somewhere or it being too early, but I've never been disappointed with the delivery as the food holds up quite well. This truly holds 4 1/2 stars in my heart. If I ordered wrong and didn't end up with the right portions or tried everything except the coco shrimp I would probably give it a 4, but because I've tried it so many times I'm able to order exactly what I'm in the mood for any given time and have had almost entirely 5 star experiences with the food. Take that as you will, but I say it's worth a try! read more

Holy mother of God. I meant to write a review a month ago, but I am getting to it now. The food there is outstanding! I never thought about deep friend shimp and rice as a dish (they have other types also lol)! It was seriously delicious, the way the make it. The side salad that comes with it was what you would expect but...BUT...the best part of the salad is the Poppyseed Vinaigrette Dressing! I put it on my salad for sure, but I started adding it to my rice and shrimp and holy crap the flavor is ridiculously good. Each time I go back I get extra to put over my rice and dip my shrimp in. Another dish, is the Coco Taco. Look, I dont think fish and shrimp go in tacos...its sounds gross. However, the coco shrimp (coconut shrimp) in a freaking taco is freaking genius and absolutely delicious. It has no right being that good, that shell is something special too. (not even sure what that taco shell is, its not regular taco shell but it sold the experience). This is the best place I could imagine being recommended. The interior is pretty nice and relaxing, more laid back...don't know why anyone wouldnt just eat there, why go home and eat cold shrimp instead of eating it fresh and hot lol. I highly recommend this place. I don't have a picture but if I can edit later or make another review of a different dish, I will. Oh. Customer service was on point! No fus, no hassle. I asked for no butter on my rice and they took care of it right away. read more

First experience here and it was a great one! Food is so flavorful and the restaurant had plenty of space for seating. Food came out pretty quick and there was no room in our bellies for any leftovers. The lady at the register answered all our questions and we had a great time. The only issue I had was that the menu was VERY hard to read, I opted to pick up the paper ones that they had because of this. Can't wait for the one in Richardson to open!! read more

I've been a huge Coco Shrimp advocate for years and have always had to drive an hour for the Watauga/Ftw locations but now it's HERE!! This place is FANTASTIC. The service is always good and the cashier today knew just what to recommend. The interior is gorgeous and the ambiance is casual but cool - there's a giant screen broadcasting ocean/nature visuals and even a sink that is easily accessible in the dining area. I always order the Garlic Butter Shrimp with poppyseed dressing for the salad and it remains my favorite food to this day. I also tried a sampler with Sweet and Spicy shrimp, and it came with a couple sauces. The garlic butter plate was $10.70 (6 shrimps) and the sampler was $12.70 (7 shrimps). Although it doesn't seem like much it always leaves me full afterwards (given the huge rice portions)! 10/10 RESTAURANT & A MUST TRY. read more

Today was my first time at Coco Shrimp. I ordered two entrees to go and did not check the order when it came out. I left the store & went home & when I opened the bag, one entree was missing. I called the store & was offered a refund for the missing food but told it would take a couple of days to come through on my bank card. I left a review and shortly after got a call from Levon, the GM. He offered a cash refund and also replaced my missing order. And the food was delicious! Levon went above and beyond to ensure my satisfaction and that I will definitely be a return customer. Many thanks for the outstanding customer service sir. Hats off!!!! read more
