wonderful, friendly service, great vibes, and delicious, authentic cuisine that's hard to find around here. I only wish they made the Mahi Mahi bites a permanent menu item! read more

El Coqui, es una restaurant muy Rico! Awesome service and the family vibe! I recently moved from Fort Worth, Texas where there was just Tex Mex and BBQ, and I missed the FL lifestyle where I could get Puerto Rican, Cuban, or whatever type of food I wanted. Being new to the area I chatted with the hotel staff this guy Clearance and he told me about El Coqui once he found out I was Puerto Rican. Missing my mom's cooking I decided to try it, and let me tell you El Coqui did not disappoint! Que Rico es lo comida!! Buen provecho!! read more

The menu here is so on point that when we were finished, everyone at the table got up and proceeded to reenact WWF Summer Slam '97 in the dining room. No meal has ever made me want to do that, before or since. Talk about ambiance! Just what we needed after an incredible meal! Absolutely top notch A++++ read more

My husband and I visited El Coqui for the first time last weekend, and it won't be our last! We started with the sweet and salty appetizer, which was delicious and came with two sauces. We both preferred the mayo ketchup , it had a ranch-like flavor. The real highlight, though, was the Mojitos. I had the strawberry Mojito and my husband had the spicy mango Mojito, and both were made to perfection. I'm a lightweight and definitely underestimated mine. I drank it too fast and was already tipsy by the time we hit the door! On top of the great food and drinks, the service was friendly and helpful, which made the whole experience even better. Overall, the food, drinks, and atmosphere were fantastic. We're already looking forward to coming back, especially to enjoy the live music. read more

Food: Fresh and phenomenal. Home-cooked with the owners right in the kitchen. It is a family-owned establishment and they either greet you, serve you or cook for you or any combination thereof. A welcomed feeling! You literally feel like you're walking into their home FILLED with love and Puerto Rican pride!! We had Garlic Chicken Mofongo with and without Chicharron. Vibrant flavors through and through. Came with a side salad to interrupt the richness. The Empanadas (Chicken and Gauva were our choices) were large, flaky, fresh and filled with deliciousness! Crust is VERY light, they use that GOOD lard! Now...the drinks are nothing to be played with! The Mojitos (Passionfruit) and Pitorro (Pineapple, Tamarind y Coconut Chai) will have you curled up sucking your thumb! They have a stage ready to bring in the best Musicians specializing in sounds from Salsa, Merengue, Jibaro, Bomba and all styles in between! The stage is set in front of a large Puerto Rican flag, which gives a FANTASTIC experience that made us feel like we were at our favorite Boriqua's casa en la Isla! Viva la Puerto Rico! read more

Overall a great experience. Comfortability and side pricing are two areas that could be improved. First, the bad: The seating is hit or miss. If you're a bigger guy, opt for the metal barstools (with backs) in the main dining room. We picked the tables by the front window, and the super light plastic chairs were considerably wobbly. Outside seating looked alright, though it was too hot to dine out there this time. There's kind of a value mismatch in some of their menu items. We got the platter for two, which ran us about $45. I didn't mind the price for that, as it gave us a great sampling of their menu. The side of Beas and rice, however, were $8 apiece. That's our mistake for not checking first, but between that our two Coronas (plus tip) the bill reached over $90 for the two of us. I think there's some room for price adjustments on the sides! Now the good, which I promise outweighs the bad: The food was great. Everything came out hot and looking great. One of the staff came by and recommended which sauces to use for which dishes, which was nice! Honestly everything we ate tastes great. The mofongo was the surprise hit - absolutely delicious. The staff was so nice and helpful - every person we interacted with was eager to help us understand the menu, very attentive to our needs, and just generally very pleasant. A truly fantastic place to get Puerto Rican food in St Mary's. read more

We ordered food to go from here on a Saturday night. They were incredibly busy, and let us know it would be a 40 minute wait for the food. While that was a long wait, it was well worth it. You could tell that everything was freshly made. We tried the yuca mufongo with chicken, the shrimp on chicken with garlic, and an empanada. The chicken was dry, but all of the seasoning was incredible, and everything was very fresh. We are looking forward to coming back and trying more of the menu! read more

Went for lunch on a Thursday with a friend. The food was great. They have their regular menu with some items that are lunch portions. I got the crispy chicken and tostones which came with rice. Everything was very flavorful and went well together. My friend had the chicken cracklin which she enjoyed. The portion sizes were good and the service was great. We both plan to return. read more

We felt welcomed and comfortable immediately as we were greeted by the owner upon entry. Everyone was friendly and they were dedicated to providing us with a positive dining experience. The food was delicious and provided us with a cultural dining experience- a taste of Puerto Rico. The island music and large screen images of the beach and tropical fun will have you wanting to plan for a visit to Puerto Rica as your next vacation destination. They just opened this past April, so you'll want to give the place a try. I told my goody friends about the place and we have plans to visit again next week. read more

We've had things from their food truck in the past and the restaurant did not disappoint. We got a sampler platter and everything was delicious and the mojitos were fresh and well-made. It did take a little while to get our food and drinks, but that's totally understandable since they just opened and they were already busy for the lunch crowd. Only thing I'd try to improve on is getting some sound panels as the back room got pretty loud. read more

Delicious, authentic Caribbean cuisine. Super friendly, in a beautiful setting. And try the fantastic cocktails!

Killer meal. That's what everyone said after we had devoured the chicken crackling, mofongo with pork, plantains, tostones, yucca, beef and chicken empanadas, and guava flan (laden with shredded coconut). All was delicious and flavorful. The staff were all attentive and friendly. We got this lunch order to go and was surprised the wait would be an hour. But it was all worth it. Plus, we got not one but two different calls to let us know when our order was ready. Next time we would dine in the main restaurant that sounded of lively discussions and content patrons. Worth a return! read more

Wow - what a find! We'd never tried their food truck, so everything was new to us. Their stand-alone restaurant is beautiful and spotless. The staff was still working out kinks with the service and timing, but they were aware of it and so, so nice. Our food came out in a timely manner. And that FOOD! The empanada dough was flavorful and crispy, the beef and chicken fillings perfectly seasoned. The chicken on criolla sauce was excellent and tender, and my daughter loved her garlic shrimp. We also enjoyed the yummy plantains and a very nice flan. Had nonalcoholic fresh-made mojitos that were spectacular (I'll return on a weekend for one with rum!). Hard to believe this place is in our county! read more

We were so glad to find a Puerto Rican restaurant in southern Maryland. The food and drinks are truly authentic and absolutely delicious. The inside was a little loud but I know they are already working on that. Highly recommend. We will definitely be coming back here. read more

We spend a month every year in Puerto Rico. There food reminds us of the best we have had in PR. Mofongo options are especially good.

The food was outstanding. The service was very helpful in explaining what some of the dishes were, was very nice, and very accurate. The meal and service surpassed our expectations and we will be back again soon. Do yourself a favor and try this place! read more

OMG!! My sons begging to go to Puerto Rico now. Came here to get a taste and got the itis. We tried the mofungo with garlic shrimp and it was so delicious. The empanadas with the dipping saice were soo tasty. The plantains just right and the Pina Colada was on point. We drove from Waldorf for this and they did not disappoint. We will be back, already planning our next meal!!! read more

It's our 30th anniversary and I asked my lovely wife "what's a meal you really loved and have missed or wanted for a long time?" She replied "alcapurrias". So I googled Puerto Rican restaurants near us. NONE! However this food truck popped up. So here we are checking it out. Worth it. The Mofongo bowl was Spot on healthy portion, great aromatics (smelled wow!) and the flavors matched. YUM! The alcapurria unfortunately did not impress (hence the 4 stars). The Flan though was some of the best I've ever had (and I've had a lot). The staff (from Ponce Puerto Rico) was very friendly and helpful. The truck (actually a karge trailer) is in the BJs parking lot in California Maryland except on Sundays when they're at a local winery. Definitely will be back. read more
