    Nutella Hot Chocolate

    The food was great. All the drinks are amazing not too sweet. The waitress we had was really friendly and on top of everything. We also came when it wasn't too packed so the ambiance was nice with the music in the background and they also have outside seating so I can't imagine it being to bad even when it is packed.

    Ancient Grains Bowl (mixed with a chicken breast)
    Eduardo C.

    I had been to their location near UTEP years ago and happened upon their other location during a recent business trip to El Paso. The restaurant is clean, spacious and has a great vibe for lunch or dinner. Full bar and craft beers add to the nice touch too. The menu is how I remember. Eclectic and able to satisfy a variety of tastes. I had their Ancient Grains bowl with chicken. Just like I remember, it was hearty, earthy, and overall very satisfying. Very glad I added the chicken, but did think it was slightly overpriced ($6.50 for one chicken breast.) Nevertheless, it is a great spot and great option when trying to find something outside the steak and potatoes and Mexican food options in El Paso.

    Bloody Mary

    Been craving a Bloody Mary for weeks & when on vacation there isn't a better time! I checked yelp for breakfast / brunch spots & saw this place had a full bar and was like that's where we're going! The Bloody Mary did not disappoint, hit the spot with just the right amount of kick. Me & hubby both got the No Brainer breakfast sandwich and were surprised when I came out not exactly a sandwich more like toast with toppings. BUT don't let that deter you, it was decadent in flavor and absolutely satisfying. The fruit was ok we think they might not be in season with them being as hard as they were but what can you do! The space was clean and well kept as well as a good ambiance, and the staff were very attentive. Next time we're in the area would definitely visit again!

    I'd give this place a 5/5 strictly for the food, but service time could be better. Servers taking too long to take orders or to drop off the check (which correlates with them not checking on us after dropping off the food) has been a common occurrence the past 3 times I've eaten here. Other than that, the food is amazing. The chilaquiles are worth the wait, especially if you add carnitas to it. The pancakes were stale and left me disappointed, so I don't recommend those.

    Short stack.

    I was seated right away; that apart of the good. It took almost 15 minutes to be greeted; that's apart of the bad. They didn't appear to be very busy. When I was greeted, it was "What are you having to drink?" Not very welcoming. The food was good and presented well.

    Service is good, servers are very attentive. The ambiance is pretty relaxed on a slow night, which is when it's quiet. On busy nights they still meet the mark, although it gets much noise. The food is ridiculously good; El Paso is blessed to have this variety added to their culinary repertoire. They have some really interesting drinks and alcoholic drinks as well. Keep in mind that service can crawl very slowly on busy nights. Normally that would bring it down by 1 star, but I think the food quality and other offerings make up the difference.

    Our of all locations I think I like this the most and it somehow has the most selection on the menu. Generally all Craves are a bit overpriced and menu could use a bit of a fresher taste but for what El Paso has to offer it is one of the "spots" and too will get a good quality meal out of the experience.

    Excellent brunch to end our trip with. Delicious bloody Marys! Jeylin was a wonderful server. Great decorations too. Absolutely recommend.

    The food is very well seasoned and served quickly. The place is big with black decor and a nice outside area with umbrellas for shade.

    This was our first time here. My brother in law saw the advertisement on facebook about this place…read moreand we came to check it out and food and drinks are delicious. Service is great and nice cozy dining area. This place is really nice. Cafe de abuelita is out of this world.

    I rarely leave negative reviews because I genuinely believe in supporting small businesses. In…read morefact, I hesitated to post this one. Unfortunately, one person's approach can completely change what should have been a great experience. I traveled from Houston to El Paso and was excited to visit Cocol after hearing glowing reviews from friends and family. On Tuesday, I stopped in for a quick coffee and received a lukewarm reception from the manager, Angela. She wasn't able to seat two adults and two children, explaining there was a 25-minute wait. That was completely understandable, so I happily ordered everything to go. I mentioned that we planned to return the following morning for breakfast before making the drive back to Houston. To avoid any issues, I asked if we should make a reservation. She confirmed the restaurant opened at 9:00 a.m., and I requested a reservation for that time. After asking me to wait for a moment, she returned and said that because we would have four adults and two children, they don't usually seat parties because they are a small restaurant, so we would have to wait until 9:30 instead. I explained that we had a long drive back to Houston (that's 10 hours with no stops) immediately afterward and asked if there was any flexibility. She declined. I then suggested that we simply stop by at 9:00 and, if the restaurant happened to be busy, we would completely understand waiting. If it wasn't busy, perhaps we could be seated a little earlier. Her response was that they would tell us the exact same thing in the morning. There was no willingness to discuss any options or find a compromise. When I told my local family about the interaction, they were surprised and assumed there had to be a misunderstanding. The next morning, my uncle asked for a table for six. The hostess initially began helping him, but once Angela saw me, she insisted we could not be seated until 9:30. At that moment, there was only one table occupied in the entire restaurant. He also explained that he had come in on Sunday, their busiest day, right at opening with no reservation and was seated immediately with a party of five, so he genuinely could not understand why we were being treated so differently on a weekday when the restaurant was clearly almost empty. My uncle asked to speak with the manager, only to learn Angela was the manager. He then asked if he could speak with the owner, but she declined and simply repeated her position. I honestly don't know what I did to offend her. Throughout the entire interaction, I remained polite and respectful. It wasn't the policy itself that was disappointing--it was the complete unwillingness to work with a customer or even discuss reasonable alternatives. Good customer service is often about finding solutions, not simply proving you're right. We even offered to sit at a table and wait until 9:30 before ordering if that helped their process. That suggestion was immediately rejected as well. Instead, we were told to wait outside, despite having two young children with us. Before writing this review, I wanted to give the owner, Liz, an opportunity to address the situation. I called later that day and asked to speak with her. Ironically, Angela answered the phone, took my information, and said Liz would return my call. I'm still waiting. I do want to recognize our server, Alex, because she was outstanding. She was warm, attentive, and genuinely worked hard to ensure we had a pleasant experience despite the circumstances. She deserves recognition for her professionalism and kindness. The reason I'm giving two stars instead of one is because of Alex. She earned every bit of praise she deserves. Unfortunately, the actions of one person--especially the manager who represents the restaurant--were enough to turn what should have been a memorable stop into a disappointing experience. I truly hope this feedback is taken constructively, because Cocol clearly has great food and employees like Alex who deserve leadership that reflects the same level of hospitality.
