This is probably one of my new favorite restaurants. The highlight was definitely the poblano cashew enchiladas. Truly am still at a loss for words and I came here 6 months ago. I think about this meal so often it's ridiculous. Highly recommend read more

Hands down one of my favorite restaurants in Seattle. The food is excellent, met the nicest server ever (Shoutout Jonathan!- GIVE HIM A RAISEEEEE!!!!!) who made this place such a freaking vibe! Also the bartenders were exceptional, leaving me astounded. Love this place. As far as food goes, I cannot stress how well made the food here is. The chips and guac were fresh, and I could eat the Mexican enchiladas forever! Took my friends here and they loved it here, feels like you're really in a tropical fever dream read more

Greeted by a friendly hostess when I arrived, se asked if I had reservations which I did not but se said it was not a problem. She let me pick where to sit, the server was very nice and just the right amount of attention for us. I was there for brunch and the food was good and prepared as described. Good selection of options on the menu. Was a very pleasant experience. Will definitely recommend and return to this restaurant. read more

Amazing food and great atmosphere! 10/10 will be back again. Highly suggest the chips and Guacamole. Friendly staff too!

1 out of 5. I had high hopes for this place, but unfortunately absolutely not worth the $$ with the service being terrible and very slow. proceed with caution. The ambience was absolutely beautiful. The food was ok not worth the coin. I ordered tuna tacos and was served chicken and when I informed them of the mistake, I was straight up gaslit into thinking I had gotten fish when i clearly had chicken on my plate. the chef even come out with attitude because I in disbelief. read more

I honestly don't understand the 5-star reviews. I know a lot of my friends are friends with the owner and want to support their business BUT its just not good. Service is the absolute worst. I've been there twice and they have forgotten food/drink orders both times. On my recent visit, the waitress came up to us 20 mins after we placed our order (which took another 20 mins) asking to verify what we ordered, does that mean she didn't put in the order? Why would you verify it after you put in the order... really didn't make any sense (we all guessed she hadn't put it in yet). I ordered the huevos con chorizo for brunch which is like making your own breakfast tacos but they only give you sour cream. At least provide salsa or at a minimum hot sauce.... but don't even get me started on the "hot sauce". they only have their house made "hot sauce" and I have never had the most blandest hot sauce ever. It was only spicy, no flavor. Maybe hoping for some seasoning, vinegar, etc.... just heat. we all tried it and found it so weird. the black beans and fried bananas were good at least? everything we thought needed some sort of seasoning on the food. even salt and pepper would of been great. Drinks... if you are going to be paying a premium at least it should taste good. I will say the ambiance is very nice. but thats about all they got. to my friends.... please don't ask me to come with you to Koko's.... i'll meet up with you afterwards read more

Beautiful restaurant with great service. The food was delicious and the drinks were good (I got a margarita which is almost always great). The prices are a bit steep but there's definitely a variety when it comes to how much you want to spend on a meal. The veggie poblano enchiladas were incredible, and the ceviche we ordered was super fresh and flavorful. Would definitely return here! read more

Well well we'll a place that brought us straight back to fine dining in Mexico city. Although it's founders are Mexican and Salvadorean my off the bat response was Yucatan cuisine with the fruit forward items. The menu as I read it was innovative stuff blended with must haves for the commoners to keep the lights on and not get panned by the uncouth. That being said we went for what stood out the seafood. The halibut was divine. The white sauce, corn, and vegetables were plated perfectly. The habanero shrimp app had that sour/sweet tamarind going for it but as another mentioned wasn't too spicy. But spicy is subjective a level 5 for one is level 10 for another. Al pastor fish tacos was a delight. To say their menu is taco time says more about the reviewer than the reviewed, IMHO. Don't see al pastor fish tacos on taco times menu. And don't sleep on taco time. Their fish tacos do stack up against some great ones in San Diego where the best fish tacos in the US are located. The ambience is great! We didn't experience the DJ so can't say if it was too loud. Modern yet warm. Service was on point. Drinks were agave focused and hit the mark. Bottom line is fine dining in the wonderful city struggles, for many reasons, and at the end of the day businesses have to make rent, pay salaries, and turn a profit. In a culture that historically hasn't valued ethnic fine dining and or fails to appreciate the MUCH broader cuisine a culture has to offer. That's changing though. Very excited to see what this place does read more

The tacos are delicious, and so are the drinks. I felt as if I was in Playa del Carmen! Really good music and ambiance. The service is also good; there is not much to say, but our waiter has been attentive. It is loud so skip if needing to have a converaation. read more

Food, Service, Ambience. 5 stars for all 3. Brunch menu is incredible and drinks are delish. Presentation is perfect. PERFECT!!! Let's make this place the hot spot for brunch! The decor is light and fun. Great way to dine. Be careful of the Mexican corn...it's addictive. read more

Tried this place out tonight and I am blown away! This spot is top notch! The quality of the food is outstanding, the staff is impeccable and provides a fantastic level of customer service I have never experience before in Seattle. I never have high expectations for restaurants in Seattle but KoKos is now one of my favorite places. I ordered the carne asada which had such a great amount of meat on it! Loved the tostadas. Loves the watermelon tequila shots. Loved the Frida cocktail. Loved the service. Our server Han was top notch, so sweet, so attentive, so hospitable, and made us all feel so comfortable. The food can be excellent but when the service is this great it makes your experience even better! Bravo to this new Seattle restaurant! Highly recommend--it's vibey af and good for any occasion. read more

I came to Koko's on a whim after hearing reviews from colleagues. The fish tacos and pepino cilantro margarita were great recommendations from the staff. The service and ambiance were both lovely, especially on a summer evening. Caesar, Kyle and Johnathan were a pleasure to chat with and so friendly- I'll definitely be back soon! read more

Food is AMAZING, same with the drinks the host was great and super friendly so service overall was great! It was fairly quiet which made it nice to sit and enjoy the ambience (10/10) while it snowed. It was a nice few hours of pretending we were somewhere warmer. My only slight complaint is a couple of our orders were incorrect but delicious nonetheless. read more

Great food, superb service.... 100% comeback. The burrito was impressive. Not a big drinker but looks like drinks are pretty good too.

Outstanding service! Awesome food! Incredible drinks! This is a new gem on Cap Hill... that can be found on the North side of where Lark is. Foodies will know what I'm referring to. My recommendation... get in now before the hordes discover this place. Seriously.. some of the best Latin inspired food I've ever had. read more

Really, really disappointed, place was beautiful and clearly popular on a saturday night but not even close to worth it. Hostess and server both had a bit of a "you're bothering me" attitude which never flies in restaurant service. We each got kokos margaritas and they were incredibly weak, could have been a mocktail for all I know, which is unacceptable for $15 each. Also got chips and salsa for $12 (stupid expensive), I asked if we could sub one of the salsas for a different kind and the server told us they'd have to charge us "a couple bucks extra" so we didnt bother. The chips were warm and fresh which was good - credit where its due- but the 3 salsas it came with were bland and had no heat whatsoever, which i guess is fine if you dont actually like or expect mexican food at a mexican restaurant. We stopped the bleeding then and went to a plan B (tacos chukis) for good tacos, and another bar closer to home for drinks with actual alcohol. $50 for chips, shitty salsas, and mocktails. Never again. read more

We were visiting for my friend's birthdays and our waiter Angel exceeded our expectations. He was very warm and welcoming right when we were seated. Gave us some good recommendations and was very friendly. We came across this restaurant from online media outlets and were super excited to try it out. We tried the enchiladas and ahi tuna tostadas along with some other items and enjoyed every bite! . Will definitely be recommending this place to try for the their delicious flavors and beautiful ambiance read more

Great food, service and vibe! Ambiance is nice and aesthetically pleasing! Loved the enchiladas and the guacamole! The churros were the best!

I went to eat at kokos for a date yesterday and I have to say it was an amazing experience, the drinks were good and the food was even better, besides the food I had Josiah as a server and honestly he was really nice, he was cool to talk to, most waiters don't have that energy, but Josiah did and he made the night go swell for me and my date, and the whole restaurant was a nice experience, 5 stars and I will be coming back very soon read more

The service was amazing! Our server really went out of his way to make us feel welcome. The drinks were amazing. I highly recommend the platanitos and the churros. Happy hour is a great time to go so you can find window seating. The space is super cute! You can really see they took their time picking every little detail. read more

I'm from Southern California, and eat A LOT of tacos. When I saw we had a dinner reservation for Mexican food in Seattle, I was a little skeptical. I was wrong. Koko's has some of the best tacos I have had in my entire life. I tried 5 different types, and every one was outstanding. The appetizers were great, and I had a blueberry mezcal drink that was on another level. The atmosphere was warm and fun. Service was a little slow (for example, drinks took a long time to come out - but they were so great, I think the extra time was the care taken to craft each one. Just be patient and order them a lot sooner than you actually want them to come out.) I'm not Vegan or Gluten Free or anything like that, but I was impressed by how many options they have for people who are. read more

When you walk into Koko's you can instantly relax. The restaurant gives " I'm at the beach, bring on those margaritas " And have you noticed the aesthetics from the food to the restaurant decor? Koko's has a variety of drinks for your taste but you simply can't go wrong with a tajin and zesty lime combination that you can't seem to get enough of. When you think of guacamole or salsa or tacos, you can almost imagine what they taste like. But Koko's food seems to bring more than that familiar Mexican flavor: a fusion with a South American taste. read more

You absolutely MUST go to Koko's!! I can't say enough good things. The food, the music, the ambience, the service - all 10/10. I can't remember the last time I was this excited about a restaurant! My boyfriend and I stumbled in by chance on a Friday around 7:30p. It was already bustling and Stephen, the fantastic host, told us it would be around 30 mins. We were HUNGRY, but could tell it would be worth the wait. Stephen kept us informed, chatted with us and hooked us up with arguably the best seat in the house - in the bar, right in front of the open windows and with a perfect view of the space (which is stunning, by the way). Our server, Jonathan, was attentive, gave perfect recommendations and exuded a genuine energy that made us feel like we were on vacation. Now. Let's talk food: Best chips and guac in Seattle - hands down. The chips came out hot, were so crispy. Omg I'm hungry just thinking about them. Tuna tostadas for an appetizer. YUM! Also very generous portion of the tuna. Chicken quesadilla. HOLY SMOKES. You're probably thinking, "it's a quesadilla. How good can it be?" Hush. Go get it. You'll understand. Again, generous portion, perfectly crisped, the spices, I could go on but I'm drooling. I had the chopped salad. Again, simple, right? Nope! I don't know what it is, some hypnotic herbs or something. It was light but filling and absolutely delicious. Gibran and Alex, the owners, GEMS!!!!! They blessed us with the gift of the churros and OH. MY. GOD. I don't even like churros all that much. I woke up thinking about these ones. There's a light custard in the middle and they're served with the most delectable homemade chocolate dip. ORDER THESE. Cocktails were phenomenal. Perfectly balanced and visually beautiful. We were lucky in that Stephen, Jonathan, Gibran, and Alex took the time out to chat with us and share the story of Koko's. All of them are so sincere and passionate about this beautiful spot. You can tell every single little detail has been considered. We can't wait to check out their other location in Seabrook and will be back for brunch sooner than later. So stoked for this new spot! read more

We love the location on the coast so we thought we would try the Seattle venue. The space is very cool and breezy - loved all the decorative art! The drinks are good and the food was really nice - pupusas and a chicken quesadilla. The only constructive comment is, when you need to get $18 for chips, salsa and guacamole to pay rents in Capitol Hill (we get it)--it should be fresh guac. (the order we were served had the consistency of the pre-packaged kind.) The salsa was really good and the chips taste homemade. Nice overall would recommend. read more

As soon as you walk in you are transported to Tulum, and I have been there so I can tell you it really feels like you are there. The waiter was super nice and attentive. The food was super yummy. Loved the shrimp appetizer. The mojito was to die for tons of FRESH mint! The gauc and salsa with chips wasn't the best I've ever had but it was still yummy. The Ahi tuna tacos were good too. We also had a side of rice and beans and it was probably the best rice and beans I've ever had lol. Definitely would go back to try other things. read more
