Koritas
Cindy T.

Found this hidden gem! I was craving ceviche and they had a lot of options but I ended up trying the Koritas. I was afraid it'd be too spicy so I asked for the sauce on the side so I can add it myself (so excuse the photo lol). Definitely spicy but sooooo good. Would order it again! Shrimp was cooked perfectly and good size as well. Sauce was very flavorful. Service was also really good! Greeted when I first entered and server checked in occasionally. Friendly staff all around. Would recommend checking out this spot next time you're in town!

Tacos Baja (comes with 3 tacos) - pictured is 2 fish tacos

It's been a few years since I've visited El Coco Loco and I realize I should have been frequenting this restaurant more often. This gem is tucked into an industrial area, but you'll be happy once you have found its hiding spot. The last time we visited, we were in more of a celebratory mood and feasted on whole fried fish and a molcajete filled with an assortment of meat, seafood, and cactus. This time, we were in a bit of a rush, so we ordered tacos. Started off with guacamole and chips. Guac is very fresh and they mix in a little tomato to brighten things. Tried the Tacos Baja - both the shrimp and the fish version. These come with a heaping amount of filling and two tortillas- you can easily make two normal sized tacos with one taco. Nice crispy batter and well seasoned with an orange crema you can drizzle on top. Also tried the Tacos Gobernador. Sounds like something Arnold Schwarzenegger would order. These are super cheesy and shrimp filled. They're really good but it's a heavy meal. Everything we've had here has been delicious and I love how wide and varied the menu is. Highly recommend.

aguachile tostada & a shrimp & asada molcajete
Barbara L.

Really enjoyed the aguachile and the shrimp & asada molcajete everything was fresh, flavorful, and delicious! We also had chicharrón de pescado "it didn't make it in the picture " it was delicious!! The waitress was very friendly, the restaurant was clean, and the atmosphere was great. Definitely coming back to try pescado zarandiado on the weekend.

Aguachile con mango y camarones zarandeados
Cristina C.

The food was really good specially the camarones zarandeados!!! My whole family loved the camarones. I also had a mango margarita which was also good. The waiter was very nice and helpful too!

Chicken enchilada with half green half red sauce
Measha B.

Amazing food and service as always! This family owned business is such a chill, welcoming, family friendly environment. The food is always hot, fresh, straight from the grill or bbq and seasoned to perfection! The quality and customer service is consistent and always fantastic! Try it and TRY EVERYTHING!

The food was good very authentic everything was cooked great just not popping with flavor wide variety on the menu but was a little on the pricey side for most things the alcoholic drinks were really good and freshly made from scratch the aqua Fresca was ok definitely not the best I've ever had I'd maybe come here again if someone invited me but most likely wouldn't go out of my way to eat here and wouldn't find myself craving their food

Fish Taco

Amazing! Best I ever had coming back here entrees I travel that way. I highly recommend this place.

Carne Asada
Jamee S.

Wow! Great find. We wanted Mexican food and found this place by chance. If you LOVE seafood, come to this place. Giant shrimp dishes, ceviche, oyster and fried tilapia! They also have margaritas and other fun cocktails. Service was super friendly. Ambience was family friendly. Place was clean. We ordered: Fried Tilapia - crispy and fresh. Perfectly salted. The rice was good! Carne Asada Plate - comes with beans and rice, and freshly roasted peppers and green onions. The carne was grilled and seasoned to perfection!! Would definitely come back if we're in the area. Authentic Mexican food!

Barnacles on my oysters

I went to the coco loco the other day the waitress was very nice good service I ordered a shrimp cocktail and it was good drinks were delicious but my oysters had barnacles on them it was a little gross I think youre supposed to scrape them off before you serve them I ate a few then turned it around and seen so many barnacles it was kind of gross to me and I had ordered a dozen and more than half of them had them

Molcajete
celeste c.

Must try! The food is amazing, they are know for their seafood so that's a must. I always order the shrimp tacos, they are delicious! The molcajete was very tasty. I also love the ceviche de mango. Service is a bit slow but they try their best, they're always busy. They are very friendly and welcoming here. The restaurant is a little rough looking but its decently clean and comfortable.

It took him awhile to take our order too. The food came out good. We each ordered different items since there's quite a selections. The food is authentic for Vietnamese food. Bun Bo hue (spicy noodle soup) was good pho - was good Vermicelli with grilled pork, shrimp and egg rolls- was good and a plus for the fish sauce to my taste Banh hoi with grilled pork- a lot of vegetables and was good. Rice plate with grilled pork, steamed eggs, shredded pork (bi) and tofu/shrimp patties (tau hu ky)- was also good Rice plate with grilled chicken and all the other items - was good Dim sum- was good Overall, everything was delicious except the unfriendly service we had with the guy. But will come again. Update: came back again on a Friday evening on 12/5/25, same thing with the guy. Had this RBF, very unfriendly, makes the guests vibes so unpleasant. He shouldn't be a waiter and should just be in the back. Customer service is very important. Anyways, thank goodness that he didn't wait on my table, it was a lady and she was pleasant. Again... food was amazing and delicious. I'll still come back and just have to disregard this person's attitude.

Another Akitaca employee (young white dude with dark long hair) was cleaning a table near the host area and also ignored us. My wife asked him if we should seat ourselves and he said to wait for someone. After several minutes, a waiter came to us and said to take a seat in the wait area til a waiter/waitress is ready. After another 5 minutes (15 mins wait), we decided to leave since there was clearly a lot of tables and didn't want our business. Heading now to Bag O Crab. This place lost my business for good.
