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!

Sampler

Came here for a quick lunch with my mom. We tried the sampler which we chose the original coco shrimp, garlic shrimp, and spicy. The flavors of all three were incredible with the buttery rice and sauces on the side. This was a great fresh and tasty meal!

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.

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

As someone from Lake Charles, Louisiana, I don't hype Cajun food unless it's legit and this place…read moreis the real deal! It's exactly all the things you love about Cajun culture and food. The crawfish had that perfect boil flavor with just the right amount of spice. Gumbo was rich, hearty, and full of flavor. Had to get me a link of smoked boudin and it stood out. It had a nice spicy kick and was packed with the best smokey flavor in every bite. Got me a meat pie and it was exactly what you hope for. Nice and crispy on the outside, savory and satisfying inside. It's a super casual spot with a great indoor area and a solid patio, perfect for just hanging out and enjoying good food. Honestly, it's hard to find Cajun food like this outside of Louisiana, but they did it right. Made me feel right at home!

PSA....they don't have crawfish until after 4pm and closed on Mondays…read more Went in for lunch on a Thursday and Really wanted crawfish so will have to go back another time. Definitely peak at the menu ahead of time or you'll be looking up at the menu at the counter while you decide. Never liked that concept but we would only go for the crawfish . 3 stars because the girl at the counter wasn't so friendly when we asked if they had crawfish and seemed perturbed that we didn't want to stay and order something else. May upgrade the rating after we try the crawfish. The outside patio was still a work in progress but looks like it will be pretty nice.

When I said that I wanted Johnny and the entire service department at Five Star Ford fired, I didn't mean that they should all band together and open the world's worst restaurant as a fall back option. The rice was a little too close to Jesus I guess, because it was undercooked and still hard and crunchy. A quick trip to a sauna in Hell would have been just the thing to cook it to perfection and give it some of that Cajun heat that the restaurants name implies that you'll get. To the manager/owner of Tajun, ya'll need to do a seance and call the devil up into that kitchen and ask him to bless your meals with a quick dusting of his farts before they go out to your customers. Get some of the dark Lord's hot breff up on that rice. Get some blasphemy in that cook line ya'll got back there. Cajun food ain't done until it offends the Holy Spirit. You wanna cook for Jesus, open an English garden tea house that serves scones and crumpets. Leave the Cajun and the creole to Legions of the underworld.

5 of us went to Towne Grill in the Alliance corridor. We were seated quickly. And waiter, Marissa,…read moretook excellent care of us. She allowed us an extra long time to unwind & converse over drinks without hurrying us at all. She was very pleasant & interesting to talk to as she gave us the names of other sister restaurants & elaborated on their specialties & their world- famous chefs. While each of us had different entrees we all raved about the appearances & flavors of each one. And the assistant manager, Michael, stopped by our table to make sure we were enjoying our meals & to see if we had any complaints. There were none, but it isn't often that restaurant managers come by & greet their customers. However, the highlight of our meals we agreed was dessert. Several of us had the Key Lime Pie which was excellent & enough for 2 to share. But the winner of the dessert competition was the Butter Cookie-Cake which wasn't even on the menu but was so yummy all of us had rather large bites & said we'd come back just for that dessert alone. Thank you, Marissa, for suggesting we try it--but it's puzzling why it's not on the menu. Before we left the restaurant Manager, Stephanie, came by to introduce herself & hear our feedback. THAT very rarely happens & demonstrates a concerted attention to customer satisfaction. All in all, the Towne Grill provided a delicious meal & excellent service. We can highly recommend it & will most certainly return.

Our food took over an hour to come out, which was honestly surprising considering one of the meals was just a salad. The food itself was good, and our server was fine, but communication was lacking. We repeatedly had to ask for updates on our food and never really received any clear answers. I understand holidays are busy, but the experience felt disorganized and frustrating. Based on this visit, I would definitely avoid coming here on a special holiday. I have definitely had better service here before.
