    The rice is to die for. The butter shrimp are my favorite, the fried ones taste too much like grease. Salad is delicious too and portions are so generous. Nice ambiance ! We go at least 1 a month.

    Shrimp Tacos

    I wanted to confirm that I wasn't overlooking anything, as I've visited the drive-thru several times and my tacos have never looked like this. When I walked into CocoShrimp to place my order, I felt a bit scrutinized, and the atmosphere seemed off. I ordered two tacos without lettuce, expecting two shrimp per taco, but there was barely any rice and only half an avocado, despite having paid for a whole one. I believe this will be my last visit.

    Side salad

    My husband and I have been going to Coco shrimp when they were just a food truck outside of an ACE Hardware store! We were thrilled when we heard that they were moving to a brick and mortar store in Watauga, which was right down the road from us. When they first opened, we were excited to see that this location would also have a drive through option as well. The option to order online and pick up has been great, especially during peak hours! The inside has lots of seating as well as a few patio tables outside too. Pro-tip... if you're ordering a plate, get the salad on the side. You'll thank me later ;) Both dressings that are options for the salad are great; my favorite is the creamy ginger one though! My favorite plate to order is the coco shrimp plate. The coconut shrimp as delicious! Perfect blend of sweet, balanced by the dipping sauce, over the butter garlic rice! Amazing. We also love their tacos for this same reason. If you are able to order both, do it! You won't regret it.

    Ordered the $15.95 five-flavor shrimp sampler that's not on the menu. It comes with two coconut w/ sweet chili sauce, butter garlic, lemon herb, spicy, and sweet and spicy shrimp. All meals include rice, salad with poppyseed vinaigrette, ginger dressing, cucumbers, and craisins. On my next visit, I'll order butter garlic, coconut, and sweet and spicy. These three were my favorites. You can request additional sauces for $0.50. I purchased cilantro lime. It went great with the salad. I recommend switching out the ginger dressing for cilantro lime. Coco shrimp has a tropical beach vibe. I loved the warm atmosphere and friendly service.

    This place was so yummy. I drive past it all the time and finally my husband said let's go for lunch. It was Easter Monday it was only us in there around 2pm. The guy who served us was efficient and nice, the food came out quickly. As newbies we didn't really know what to order and it wasn't until I had sat and seen the menu on the table that I saw they had tacos as it was hard to see on the hanging sign above the checkout. So maybe he could have said we also do tacos and sides etc. However, we both ordered the shrimp sampler as it was our first time to try more flavors. I got the coconut, butter garlic and lemon herb. All 3 were delicious! The butter garlic was my top but all were great flavors. Then I got the side salad with poppy seed dressing and that dressing was so refreshing, light, and tasty. Lastly the rice was super fluffy and buttery tasted so good. The had fountain drinks and water. The also had a sink to wash hands which was a nice touch. I loved the beach, surfer style decor also. I will definitely be ordering from here again :)

    The food is absolutely amazing! I got the sampler shrimp dish. I love the sauce and dressings. The meal feels a lot healthier than buying fast food at the same price. I have no critiques whatsoever. I could eat here everyday! I love this place. We need one in Dallas soon!

    Nice seating area.

    Great place but the music is too loud. Can't hear when they call out your order. Can't hear someone talking that is right next to you. Super irritating.

    Butter Garlic plate
    Kelley K.

    I've been to CoCo Shrimp several times now, and it's an excellent fast fill-up. The shrimp is cooked well, and I liked the sweet and sour better than the garlic plate I had last time; it was far too wet. The salad dressings of ginger or poppy are tasty, and I like that this place does one thing, and they do it well. I've had easy counter-ordering interactions, but the man that calls your name and starts to bring out the food, on the last two occasions at least, just about threw it at me like a depressing movie scene of slop being served to orphans. I'd prefer to pick up my food from a conveyer belt than feel like I'm bothering someone while they're working, I want to eat my shrimp in peace. Overall good food with simple packaging that (I assume) is biodegradable.

    Menu is limited. I'm okay with that. Cilantro rice is a must. Of course, coconut shrimp is the best.

    Coco Shrimp - Watauga Reviews in Other Languages

    Ask the Community - Coco Shrimp - Watauga

    Is Coco Shrimp on fleek?

    Yes. Most definitely

    Is the Spicy Shrimp the only gluten free option? The menu on their website is a little confusing because it says gluten free for the sampler but the only flavor that says gluten free is the Spicy.

    I was told that Lemon Herb, Spicy, and Butter Garlic are the 3 GF dishes.

    Can you order extra shrimp?

    Of course! Each extra shrimp is just $1

    Are you able to order just a side of rice?

    Yes

    JUST NO. I ordered food to go online on Friday night. I got charged $60, went to get my food and…read morethere was a sign on the door that they are closed PERMANENTLY. GIVE ME MY MONEY BACK!!!

    We have been wanting to try Krab kingz for a long time. Stop by for a late lunch on a Saturday and…read morehappily they weren't super busy. It doesn't seem like much sitting in the strip center, but we walked inside. They've got two good size dining areas and plenty of room. Also we enjoyed that they had the football games on TVs in both rooms. The menu appears to be updated almost daily on a chalkboard. It took a minute to look over everything and make a choice. We opted for the fried oysters as an appetizer then I ordered the fish and shrimp plate and my wife ordered the # 7, which today was one cluster snow, crabs, and shrimp. They brought our food out in to go boxes, which is I guess what everybody eats out of. We were both blown away when we opened them up and saw how much food they give you. The portions are huge. My fish and fried shrimp was pretty good. The fish could use a little bit more seasoning, but it was cooked very well and tasted good. The shrimp was really good and once again I was surprised at how big they were. There was a ton of fries and only ate about half of them, but they were good as well. I was very impressed with the fried oysters. They were big oysters and tasted great. My wife loved her snow crab. It comes with tons of potatoes, corn on the cob and several shrimp and we were stuffed by the time we left. We will definitely come back and try something different on the menu next time
