I love the food here and the drinks are beautiful (looking and delicious). My favorite is the beef empanadas and the grilled chicken. The desserts are amazing too, try the tres leches! I've seen the Cover Girls here and TKA. It is a good venue size for the crowd it attracts. Yes, it is loud because they have a life dj, but it's an incredibly fun vibe! There is also parking which is a bonus in this neighborhood. It is difficult to get the waitresses at times. They could improve this and their customer service but I wil still keep going for the cover bands and the great food! read more

Unfortunately, this was not one of the best restaurant experiences I've had. My friends and I went to Coquito Blu and it was disappointing from beginning to end. The restaurant was practically empty, yet the service was unbelievably slow. We sat outside and waited far too long for our food. When it finally arrived, the food was definitely not worth the wait. Overall, terrible service, disappointing food, and an unpleasant experience. Definitely not a place I would return to. read more

My family, girlfriend, and I took my mother out for her birthday! This place is really close to where we live and decided to check them out! Upon entering, the decor was really nice and noticed a DJ booth in the back! Our waiter indicated some nights it turns into a lounge! We ordered a few appetizers and had a pitcher of their margarita! I must say it was pretty good! My girlfriend and I shared the lobster and shrimp chaufan and it was delicious! The lobster was a bit rough but it had flavor! Our waiter was awesome as well! Good did take a while but was worth it! Would definitely come back to try other dishes! read more

My family and I had dinner reservations here Sunday at 6:15pm. The restaurant wasn't busy. It was really nice inside. The waitress was very attentive and friendly. I picked the restaurant because my cousin is vegan and they had a Cuban style "beef" with rice and maduros. However, they were out so my cousin had to get a scampi pasta. He didn't really enjoy it. I felt so bad because it was the entire reason we came. The drinks, appetizers, and my skirt steak were all amazing. Strong drinks and well seasoned food. I recommend the restaurant. read more

A couple of weeks ago, we'd been searching for a Puerto Rican Cuisine in Northern Queens. We were excited to find this restaurant. We couldn't get out so we ordered online. Fairly expensive but not a big deal. We ordered a Lobster entree and they called to say they didn't have lobster. We settled for chicken. They also called to say that they didn't have the chocolate cake, we ended up with a piece of flan. We received our order with the main course missing along with a couple of sides. I called and they were very kind and came right back with what was missing. My husband insisted on giving them another chance today. Again, we are missing some dishes. I called right away and still have not received a call back. At this point, not interested. Lesson learned. First time was a bust. Food is at best mediocre. Not worth the money. Not worth the stress. Work harder to get better Coqui Blu! read more

Whenever I want to listen to music or watch a game or spend time with my family, I take them here. It reminds me of a typical Latin family weekend. Music delicious Latin cuisine. Amazing drinks great service and then I say amazing food. It's a lot of fun. It can get loud so prepare yourself. They have a live DJ and they usually have live talent bands. I've been to this place numerous times and I highly recommend this place. The flatbread is amazing. Also the steak and onions is delicious and they have an array of cocktail drinks. Enjoy. read more

Beautiful modern restaurant with friendly and accommodating staff. The food was delicious, and the cocktails ALMOST too pretty to drink! There's street parking but also a parking lot in the back. There's also an outdoor patio for warmer months, and I am told this place gets busy for brunch. There's also a DJ booth. read more

Been to brunch around 4 times and it never disappoints get ready to dance and have a good time. Drinks are constantly being refilled:) read more

Music was blasting so loud we couldn't hear ourselves never mind anyone else. Asked the manager several times to lower it and he just ignored us. We waited over an hour for our food to come out and no one came by to check on us .. the food was good when it finally came but the whole experience was very stressful and disappointing read more

We got here at 6pm. We were promptly seated and our drink and dinner orders taken. Our drinks came out 45 minutes later. We then waited another 35 for our dinner. The place wasn't crowded so it didnt make sense to me. The food was good. The ambiance was just OK. No music just the TV on. I enjoyed the food and had an OK time. To be honest I'm a bit disappointed. I expected better serviice. read more

Alma was absolutely amazing and truly made my birthday dinner so special! We had a large group of 24 people and she handled everything with such grace, patience and professionalism. From the moment we arrived, she went above and beyond to make sure everyone was taken care of and orders were correct. She stayed attentive, kind and organized the entire time, which is not easy with such a big group. What stood out the most was her positive attitude and willingness to accommodate every request with a smile. She made sure the night flowed smoothly and that we all felt welcomed and celebrated. Alma truly exceeded our expectations and I'm so grateful she was part of such an important night for me. (Also, let me add Diana, so pleasant, the event planner, was extremely attentive and just truly a sweetheart to work with!) Thank you for making my birthday dinner unforgettable! read more

A fantastic new spot with a warm and welcoming team--the hostess, manager, and waitstaff were all on point, making sure we had everything we needed. We tried every appetizer on the menu and enjoyed plenty of drinks, all of which were excellent. The atmosphere was lively and had a club-like energy, especially with live music on Fridays. The place was packed! The open, spacious dining area is perfect for large parties, and the long, well-designed bar offers plenty of seating. Definitely a great place to check out! read more

This is a modern, fresh take on Latin cuisine in Whitestone, Queens. It has an attractive bar with seating, well stocked and with an innovative mixologist (see some of the photos!) The margaritas and mojitos were very good, and the specialty cocktails (Santeria and Purple Rain) were as refreshing as they were beautiful. Our server Alma was an absolute delight and helped us get a good cross-section of their offerings. We started with bacalaitos en el aire (codfish fritters - awesome!) and, interestingly, Asian chicken dumplings (delicious but very small portion).Our mains consisted of Habana chicken (marinated half chicken with rice, beans and maduros) and Peruvian Lomo Saltado (steak sauteed with onions, peppers and Latin spices served with rice and fries). Both dishes were tender, juicy with loads of exotic flavor. We finished with the passion fruit cheese cake, which is a nice change from the standard dessert offerings around town. We had a great time there, and are looking forward to going back again soon. read more

Went on a Saturday night and the house was packed. Great vibes with live music. A bit loud, so don't expect to have a conversation, but definitely enjoyed ourselves. The food is delicious and really big portions. None of us were able to finish the food on our plates. The drinks are just as equally delicious. Come prepared to spend. - but overall great place and great service. read more

A four star that's inches from a five. The location is good, parking is easy, the place looks beautiful. The service was great, we had Anthony and he had a great vibe with attention to his job! We went around 4 where we got to enjoy the restaurant without the place being full. We had great music and quick service as a result. The drinks. Yes. Just yes. They are perfection. Coquito blu is top notch but the my didn't miss with the Blu Paloma or the Tu Sueños cocktail. The good food is great food. Not everything was to my taste so we venture a bit into the negatives. Highly recommend the Pioninos Rellenos, the Grilled salmon is good but the coconut rice is the star of the show. If you came hungry, DEFINITELY get the Lechoncito Boricua and thank me later. I'll wait... The Nutella Tres Leche dessert will have you floating in the air on cloud 9. Other than the added gratuity for drinks above $50 (kind of hidden but understandable) and the few items I wasn't a huge fan of (skip the salads), there's no way you DONT come back. This is a new staple for me for sure! read more

First time trying this place- went with a large group. The DJ & musics was great. The place was full and jumping but not overly crowded. The food was actually pretty tasty as were the cocktails. I think it's a great value for Brunch. While the service is sweet and attentive, it is SLOW. We allotted 2 hours for our Brunch and entrees weren't out in that time. We did have apps and drinks. We had a group of 17. Those that were able to stay enjoyed a good meal. The apps and drink were more liked than the entrees however. read more

Just left Coquito blue what an embarrassment went there to have a couple of cocktails Sunday night beautiful weather. I've never felt so embarrassed. I understand they wanna go home order a couple of drinks. They were so busy of closing up. It's a miracle at this place doesn't shut down Sunday night beautiful weather for sitting outside. That's why people will go to Mauricio's restaurant in Whitestone. If you don't wanna be there don't open on Sundays anybody driving by that wants to have drinks or dinner thinking this place is closed. Look at salt lime and tequila if you wanna close close at 6 o'clock again never again three drinks $60 read more

Food, service and atmosphere is amazing Love the atmosphere and Anthony is the best. read more

Beautiful restaurant BUT slow service. I was here on a Sunday for brunch. The place is gorgeous with a great DJ and music. Food took a long time. But was delicious. There were a lot of birthday parties, and probably not enough staff. Sometimes one or two people did not get food with the rest of the group. Management-improve your service, and you will have a great restaurant. read more

Coquito Blu - Cameron Con Coco - Latin American Near Me - Whitestone, New York

First of all the place is beautiful. A recent remodel was done tastefully and still warm and cozy. Our server was a sweetheart and attentive. The background music of classic salsa was enjoyable and at the right volume where you could still talk to your dinner companions without having to raise your voice. The drinks were great. Espresso martini, coquito blu and jardín de rosa were excellent. The food came out hot and delicious. We had piononos and bacalaitos as appetizers. Our main dishes were Peruvian style Lomo Saltado, churrasco al carbón and bistec encebollado. Everything was well seasoned and plentiful that we had to pack to take home. For dessert we had coffee and coconut flan. This was an enjoyable meal all around. read more

I wish I could give more stars since I actually did have a very nice time. The place is very nicely decorated and has an elegant vibe. It has a beautiful bar fully stocked. There is a dj in the middle of the dining area who hypes up the patrons. When I came here on a Sunday, it was extremely busy. My friends and I were seated and waited a good while to be asked for drinks. Our server was very sweet and apologized for the long wait. Once we got our sangrias, he took our appetizer and entrees order. My sangria was beautifully decorated and he made sure to have our glasses full at all times since it was a bottomless brunch. The music was great, the drinks are flowing but the amount of time we waited even just for the appetizers were as unreasonable. We waited at least an hour for the appetizers which were actually delicious, we got a variety of pizzas, shrimp, empanadas and guacamole. By the time our entrees came, we all asked for to go containers and we took them home. Heating up the food at home, I did not get to enjoy the food the same way. I would give this place another chance but they really have to work on bringing the food out at a reasonable amount of wait time. read more

Coquito Blu - Amazing drinks - Latin American Near Me - Whitestone, New York

Please don't go by the reviews, experience it yourself! This place is the place to be for a Sunday Brunch with family or friends. The ambiance is welcoming and full of energy. My visit with 4 of my girlfriends was amazing, our waitress (Sky) was very nice and helped us decide what to choose from the menu. The Brunch menu is to the point, 1 appetizer, 1 main entree, and bottomless mimosa. Another young man (Leo) was the sweetest with us (Please tip the waiter/waitress helpers). In the end, the manager (Julio) was such a nice person to us, very polite and friendly. Omg, he gave us before we left coquito WOW it was so good. The place is clean and very cozy. The food is good. The live Dj was on point with the music. The bathroom was clean (extra points for that) We had a great time and plan to come back for dinner. read more

This was my second time going here for Brunch. Since the first time I went for Brunch it was so amazing, I decided to take my whole family for a Father's Day Brunch. The whole experience had nothing to do with the first Brunch I had there. The appetizers were so small, they changed the whole Brunch Menu for smaller portions. Also they ran out of burgers, and stake with onions as main courses. We ended up asking for churrasco and they were so hard and not a great flavor. Also the sangria wasn't as good as the first time. I think the food could have been better and bigger portions since Father's Day was a celebratory occasion. The whole reason I came back to this brunch was because the previous one was a lot food and the sangrias were amazing. Too bad this experience wasn't the same. The only thing that remains the same is the service. Alma is an amazing and professional server. She has a 5 start review from me and the reason my review is 4 starts is because of the quantity of the food, and the quality of the food and drinks. I really hope this things improve because I love this place, the vibes and the restaurant in general. read more

Food was amazing. Great vibe with great music. The service was excellent! The staff was friendly and welcoming. Highly recommend this place.

I didn't take picture of the sangria for brunch but if you read this review, TAKE RHE SANGRIA...YOU WONT REGRET IT. I came to support my friend's brunch event and it was delicious. I had no complaints about the service and the manager or owner was very nice and attentive. If you have a chance, take a visit. The brunch prefix menu is $50 with 90 mins of unlimited drinks with appetizers and entrees. Take your friends and enjoy yourself! read more

I finally had the chance to visit this spot after hearing so many glowing reviews from friends--and it absolutely lived up to the hype. We came for Father's Day brunch to celebrate both my dad and my husband, and it turned out to be such a memorable experience. From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere was vibrant and welcoming. We started with the empanadas and the flatbread as appetizers--both were flavorful and perfectly prepared. For our entrées, we ordered the steak, chicken, and salmon, and honestly, every single dish was delicious. Each plate was seasoned just right and cooked to perfection. The drinks were phenomenal--creative, strong, and beautifully presented. And the music? On another level. It really elevated the entire vibe. The DJ had the whole room in sync, and my group was having such a great time, I literally had to beg them to leave. No one wanted the day to end. I also want to address something I've seen in a few other reviews--some people have described this place as "ghetto." That was not my experience at all. The crowd was incredibly diverse, stylish, and full of people who just wanted to enjoy good food, good music, and good company. I sincerely hope that kind of comment isn't rooted in racism, and if it is. Stay home!  All in all, I highly recommend this place. Whether you're coming to celebrate or just unwind, it delivers on all fronts. read more

Went to the sip and paint yesterday with 2 of my friends and had a great time. Second time for me there for the S&P and it's been good vibes. Had white sangria and ordered a bunch of appetizers which was delicious. Can't wait for the next event. I heard they were going to start having Karaoke nights there so I can't wait for that. read more

Lets start with the positive. Upon arrival everyone was attentive our table was prepared and we were seated quickly. We were a party of 7 and did not experience the wait time that had been noted. The music is loud honestly we loved it and it was a nice cheerful ambiance and a chic place. The drinks looked amazing and the best was the coquito. The food was good not to overly seasoned, the pernil a tad dry, yuca fries were fresh, steak was good. Overall I had a good experience and would possibly come back if it was closer to my home. read more

Great atmosphere and service is on point. Food and music really build up the vibe of this location.

I really like the decor at this place. It is very modern with a bit of Mediterranean feel. It was fun having a dj but if you arent a fan of loud music, you may want to opt for the outdoor seating. I was impressed by how tasty the chicken pastel was and our server, Anthony, made sure everything was to our liking. I really enjoyed the Un Verano en NY drink but forgot to post it.
