    I am EASILY a huge fan of Coco's Cocina ! The food is amazing. It's made with love everytime! Very tasty and nothing next to dry. It's became a favorite spot I often suggest friends and family to go. It's amazing. It's a very cozy welcoming restaurant. Now for the service, their service is almost just as great as the food!! You're greeted rather fast!! My only suggestion would be for the waitress, when refills are needed I often find myself and others feeling the need to bring our cups back up and ask for another if not, you won't get one! However food 100/10 , service 9/10 I also wish they had an app where you can gain points ... you'll understand once you start going and can't stop !!

    I was a bit hesitant to try Coco's Cocina because many of the recent reviews are negative, but I'm glad that I trusted my gut and stopped by. My friend and I outdoor dined at one of the three tables set out on the sidewalk. The prices were reasonable and comparable to most sit-down Mexican restaurants ($12-$16 per entree). Our food was out in 10-15 minutes. I had the enchiladas, with a choice of avocado inside and topped with salsa verde. Other options for the filling included chicken, beef, pork, shrimp, or mushrooms. Vegetarian Mexican food can be hit-or-miss, but these enchiladas were perfect. The avocado filling was fresh and not browned or mushy at all. The salsa verde had a nice kick to it and was well-balanced with the Oaxaca cheese on top. Rice & beans came with the entree. Overall, the portions were generous and I was very full afterward. My friend and I also ordered a side of chips & salsa but had to save them for later because we were too full--it was $4 for a large paper bag full of chips. The only thing that would've made the experience complete is a margarita or two, but Coco's Cocina only sells non-alcoholic mocktails.

    My partners favorite dish; chicken tacos AKA the Pitmanite.

    Despite my previous review, this restaurant has won me over. The Chicken quesadilla I ordered was amazing. I am writing this inbetween my meal to acknowledge the improvement that's been shown between my last visit and now. The chef brought out a special sauce he made for me to try and I love it. Simply said I have been won over. I would give 5 stars but there is always room for improvement but Coco's Cocina definitely is one to be mentioned in the conversation of best mexican restaurants in Pitman.

    Californian Tacos (gf corn tortillas)
    Kristina K.

    I have come here twice with my mom and have enjoyed it both times! This time we got the Californian Tacos and the Plantains as an appetizer. Both were full of flavor and super fresh! It is definitely becoming our go to restaurant for when we are in the area!

    $7 for chips and this small cup of Cheez Food.  Like AAA ballpark quality.

    This was one of the worst meals I've ever been served. First, the chips and queso - the queso was, no joke, the plastic cheese food that comes in a can that you get at 7-11. Bright yellow, weirdly textured and mildly spicy goo. $7 for about a 1/3 cup of it and some chips from the bag. Unfortunately, I'd ordered my enchilada to be served with queso before the chips had arrived. My enchilada was chorizo with queso. So, when you get chorizo in a Mexican restaurant, the chewy casing is removed and the meat gets cooked and crumbled. It's very strong juju, so you use a light hand and add other ingredients - lettuce, tomato, maybe rice, beans or sour cream, maybe cheese. Nope! This was a store bought flour tortilla (menu said corn, but it was flour) with like a whole stick of chorizo cut up like a sliced up hot dog - casing on, big ole slices and not a single other ingredient. Ladle some 7-11 Cheez on top and serve it for $18. Rice was mushy and had no flavor - even salt would have helped. Beans on my husband's plate were canned. Folks I was with had enchiladas as well - the chicken was "meh" "kind of nothing" and the mushroom: "it was mushrooms". 1/10 would not recommend!

    Guacamole & Chips
    Veggie M.

    Delicious! Lots of vegetarian/vegan options & they're super cool with substitutions. Our server was friendly. Fun decor & music reminds me of being in Mexico. Indoor & outdoor seating. The mushroom tacos & chips/guacamole were both fantastic.

    Facade on Broadway
    Kathleen D.

    Coco's Cocina is right across the street from the Broadway Theatre of Pitman and next to Sweet Lula's, a nice, traditional Italian restaurant owned by the same couple. But you really don't need these directions. You'll easily find Coco's while driving down the street. You can't miss the glamorous, flashy, bright red signage. It's right in the heart of town. Walk in to find a BYO, seat-yourself establishment and offers a seriously affordable menu. Chips and salsa, or guac, or queso, run about $4. All entrees (regular or wet burritos, tacos any style, quesadillas, etc., with preferred protein/veg) are $9 and come with rice and your choice of pinto or refried beans. Keep in mind it IS "Tex-Mex" in that nothing is overly spicy; therefore, it is a good eatery for folks who don't mix it up much with their diets or want a "tame" meal. You can add hot sauce, however. The vibe inside is very relaxed with a good number of tables and a food truck mural with a window that peeks into the kitchen. A jingle rings each time food is sitting and ready to be served. Mexican sodas, regular fountain pours, and virgin margaritas are available as drink options. So originally here (before writing all that basic info), I included the long story of the visit with my mom from earlier this week. But it bored me so I deleted it. Basically the experience culminated with owner/chef/puppeteer/entertainer Anthony Asbury sitting at our table coaxing her to eat churros for the first time. It was hilarious but probably one of those "you had to be there" moments. But I will say that both owners are super friendly/funny/accommodating, and those qualities clearly align with their effective business operations. My mom and I split the chips and queso app to start. Both the chips and the dip were delicious. No kick. If you want queso with a kick, go down the street to the other Mexican spot in town. For my meal, I had the chicken tinga quesadilla. Again, no kick, nothing fancy, but just good, gooey toasted tortilla with chicken. The addition of sour cream with lettuce on the side was nice. I also really enjoyed my rice and would probably ask to get two sides of it instead of the beans in the future. My mom had the pork carnitas tacos. The entree comes with three, and you get your choice of shell. She went with crispy, and liked them. As mentioned, she also had the churros (with Jack Daniel's bourbon butterscotch sauce) and ate them all rather quickly despite complaints of them being "too hot." I had a bite and would definitely save more room for them in the future. I really enjoyed my first visit to this new spot in Pitman. It's good for any occasion and will likely hold a spot in my take-out rotation.

    Crab cake bites
    Michael C.

    Very good, close to authentic Mexican food. I had crab cake bites and Mexican street corn for appetizers and a chicken quesadilla for my entree. The sauces were good and a nice selection. The atmosphere was casual but the decor was cool. Server was very pleasant and attentive. Check them out.

    My boyfriend and I love coming here, cute atmosphere & their food is so good. We always get the chicken quesadillas and the chicken burrito with chips and queso. Also everyone who works there has always been friendly. Great place for Mexican food!

    Kelsey G.

    I would definitely recommend this place to my fellow Mexican-food lovers! I had a great experience at Coco's. I arrived with a party of four and we were seated immediately and attended to quickly after. We started with the red wine sangria and my party and I really enjoyed it. They used a local wine and I thought that was a really good touch of authenticity. Shortly after the sangria arrived, we ordered our appetizers and they came out fresh and hot. The plantains are a must if you come here! They came with a side of very flavorful chipotle sauce. The menu is small but has a lot of wiggle room to adjust the meal to your liking. They have general items such as burritos, tacos, fajitas, etc.. which all have a base and you choose your protein. The meals arrived in a timely manner and we all loved them! The tacos were stuffed! I ordered a shrimp burrito and it was huge! I am making a lunch out of it tomorrow for sure! Everything had a lot of flavor and was really good, I can't wait to come back. Oh! & Coco's seems to have a signature (maybe homemade?) hot sauce! It was fantastic. I would definitely suggest mixing up your meals with it because it was quite unique and a pleasant surprise with just the right amount of flavor and spice to each of our dishes.

    Border always delivers the goods. The food is always good. My family has tried most of their meals…read moreand they're always tasty. I usually get the blacken salmon with black beans and Jose rice. Try it for yourself you won't be disappointed

    If I could give them zero stars, I would. The food is absolutely horrible. I used to go to…read moreBorder Cafe all the time, as I loved the way they did their fajitas. Well, everything has changed. I ordered the chicken fajitas with no peppers, only to be told that they coudn't accomodate that request. Apparently they don't cut their own onions & peppers anymore, it comes in as a mix. I'm sorry, but if someone orders no peppers, accomodate them. The fajitas came out not sizzling and stuck to the cast iron skillet. Chicken was lukewarm so it was sitting in the kitchen for a bit. The tortillas used to be in a basket wrapped in a napkin to keep them warm & soft. Not anymore. They came on the skillet with the lukewarm chicken & they were hard around the edges. More evidence of food just sitting around. I loved the chicken fajitas there, that place was what made me even like fajitas. Unfortunately, they have lost me as a customer. They've even changed the way the do the tortilla chips. I don't think they're homemade anymore. They taste like they were dumped out of a bag into a basket. I'm sure these decisions were made to save money. Well, in an attempt to save money, you have sacrificed the quality of the food. Horrible!!!!!

    A Red Bank must try restaurant....Kitchen Tex-Mex has outstanding authentic Mexican food…read more Ample seating can accommodate a lot of guests so I wouldn't estimate you could always get a table. The menu is extensive so there are a lot of options and undoubtedly something for everyone. Guacamole and chips were fresh, when eating the salsa the green one is rather spicy so keep that in mind (we love spicy so it was perfect). Tacos as an option is great because you can get them all the same or mix it up and order fish, pork, shredded pork and or sausage. The meat is slow cooked and accompanied by melted cheese, onions, and cilantro.....the perfect combination to dance on your Palate. The fish taco was lightly breaded chunks of fish and was not in the slightest bit greasy. I would highly recommend you order a horchata drink....it's a non-alcoholic, sweet, and refreshing drink. Horchata is made by blending white rice and cinnamon sticks in water and letting them soak overnight. After the rice and cinnamon are discarded, the remaining liquid is then flavored with vanilla, sugar, and ground cinnamon.....a must try and a drink you will crave all the time.

    Stopped by here for a quick bite. My waitress was sweet. And the decor was vibrant…read more I ordered the shrimp taco and it came it out quickly. The shrimp was flavorful. They also bring tortilla chips for starters with salsa. They provide a discount if paying with cash. A solid spot, would return here again to try their $2 taco special
