This was our second visit. Again...Alan was a huge help showing us how the menu works. He is definitely a huge asset to this restaurant...I was listening to him explain the menu and food to customers coming in. If your staff wasn't this awesome, we may not have even known what to order or try. The restaurant is very clean and comfortable inside. Excellent service and meal.

The rice is to die for. The butter shrimp are my favorite, the fried ones taste too much like grease. Salad is delicious too and portions are so generous. Nice ambiance ! We go at least 1 a month.

I wanted to confirm that I wasn't overlooking anything, as I've visited the drive-thru several times and my tacos have never looked like this. When I walked into CocoShrimp to place my order, I felt a bit scrutinized, and the atmosphere seemed off. I ordered two tacos without lettuce, expecting two shrimp per taco, but there was barely any rice and only half an avocado, despite having paid for a whole one. I believe this will be my last visit.

My husband and I have been going to Coco shrimp when they were just a food truck outside of an ACE Hardware store! We were thrilled when we heard that they were moving to a brick and mortar store in Watauga, which was right down the road from us. When they first opened, we were excited to see that this location would also have a drive through option as well. The option to order online and pick up has been great, especially during peak hours! The inside has lots of seating as well as a few patio tables outside too. Pro-tip... if you're ordering a plate, get the salad on the side. You'll thank me later ;) Both dressings that are options for the salad are great; my favorite is the creamy ginger one though! My favorite plate to order is the coco shrimp plate. The coconut shrimp as delicious! Perfect blend of sweet, balanced by the dipping sauce, over the butter garlic rice! Amazing. We also love their tacos for this same reason. If you are able to order both, do it! You won't regret it.

Ordered the $15.95 five-flavor shrimp sampler that's not on the menu. It comes with two coconut w/ sweet chili sauce, butter garlic, lemon herb, spicy, and sweet and spicy shrimp. All meals include rice, salad with poppyseed vinaigrette, ginger dressing, cucumbers, and craisins. On my next visit, I'll order butter garlic, coconut, and sweet and spicy. These three were my favorites. You can request additional sauces for $0.50. I purchased cilantro lime. It went great with the salad. I recommend switching out the ginger dressing for cilantro lime. Coco shrimp has a tropical beach vibe. I loved the warm atmosphere and friendly service.

This place was so yummy. I drive past it all the time and finally my husband said let's go for lunch. It was Easter Monday it was only us in there around 2pm. The guy who served us was efficient and nice, the food came out quickly. As newbies we didn't really know what to order and it wasn't until I had sat and seen the menu on the table that I saw they had tacos as it was hard to see on the hanging sign above the checkout. So maybe he could have said we also do tacos and sides etc. However, we both ordered the shrimp sampler as it was our first time to try more flavors. I got the coconut, butter garlic and lemon herb. All 3 were delicious! The butter garlic was my top but all were great flavors. Then I got the side salad with poppy seed dressing and that dressing was so refreshing, light, and tasty. Lastly the rice was super fluffy and buttery tasted so good. The had fountain drinks and water. The also had a sink to wash hands which was a nice touch. I loved the beach, surfer style decor also. I will definitely be ordering from here again :)

The food is absolutely amazing! I got the sampler shrimp dish. I love the sauce and dressings. The meal feels a lot healthier than buying fast food at the same price. I have no critiques whatsoever. I could eat here everyday! I love this place. We need one in Dallas soon!

I started coming to CoCo Shrimp when they were just a food truck on Basswood. This is before they opened their downtown Fort Worth and Alliance locations. We went quite a few times at first and realized they had some good quality shrimp coming in and made it more of a special treat. Considering they were also charging about $10 per plate for 5-6 pieces of shrimp and rice and salad, it was a splurge. Fast forward to today where they have moved into a third location in Watauga, and still fairly impressed. the prices have gone up a bit and I am still a fan of either the spicy or garlic shrimp. The Coco Shrimp, the namesake, started having a more burnt taste to it. I am not sure if that is a preference amongst patrons but it does not suit me. Considering they charge a dollar extra for the Coco shrimp and my favorite is the spicy, I am perfect fine with the extra dollar. I do tend to either get it with all rice or beg them to not add the craisins. If you love craisins then go ahead and let them add it to the salad. For me, it makes me add an extra step to pick them out when I forget to ask for it to be removed. The shrimp are still good quality, plump shrimp, service is typically pretty good, and mostly relatively clean. read more

Amazing food. There is enough food to fill you up. I love a good simple menu. Everything is good on this menu. I am the pickiest eater and this place has raised the bar for restaurants in this area. If this owner keeps standards high this place can be a Watagua shinning star. Great atmosphere and nice clean seating. The place was full in a Wednesday night at 700. So this is a popular location. I am wondering if the have a drive through because i may come back on a weekly basis. It is that good. The garlic butter they put in the rice is amazing. The poppie dressing for the salad is scrumptious. Please don't change anything. This is so good. Also note that the pay out screen has a tip section. What I do not like about this is the line cashiers never receive this money. I wish this was removed from the pay screen. If you want to tip a person, hand it to them. Always. It's hard to click the no tip button but the only fair option. read more

History

Established in 2016.

Coco Shrimp is the result of my love and passion for the Hawaiian islands. My wife and I moved from O'ahu and spent our entire life savings on a beat up old ambulance and hand built it into a food truck piece by piece in our backyard. It's been a long road but since we opened in April 2016, we have recieved a lot of positive feedback and support from our loving customers! It took a lot of faith to make the leap from desk job to business owner but I love waking up in the morning and bringing a taste of Hawaii to Fort Worth.

Meet the Business Owner: Isaac H.

Isaac & brother-in-law, Jordan, are living their dream of owning a business, all while bringing a Taste of Hawaii to Texas!

The shrimp was really good and once again I was surprised at how big they were. There was a ton of fries and only ate about half of them, but they were good as well. I was very impressed with the fried oysters. They were big oysters and tasted great. My wife loved her snow crab.

We opted for their lunch fare and didn't realize we got there at the nick of time we had 6 minutes left to place in an order. I ordered their lunch portion shrimp (fried) platter with a side of fries and it came with cocktail and tartar dipping sauces. We also ordered a small shrimp cocktail which is full of baby shrimp swimming and a sweet and tangy cocktail sauce. Overall, it was a great visit.

The quality of the meat is consistently top-notch, and the prices are surprisingly reasonable--especially considering the craftsmanship and care that clearly go into every cut. North Texas doesn't have a huge selection of true butcher shops, but honestly, that's fine... because it doesn't get any better than this. If you're in need of a butcher, Prolific Butcher Shop is an absolute must-stop.

Alright, alright, alright, we L-O-V-E-D our dinner tonight! We ventured out to Alliance today and…read moreenjoyed Towne Grill and let me just say Mwah, so good! We started with the Atlantic dip and cornbread. The cornbread was so delicious! It was sweet, crispy, buttery and downright decadent! The Atlantic dip surprised me in the best way. It came with little slices of ciabatta bread, avocado and smoked salmon and made for a great combination. I selected (and no I'm not a child) chicken strips. Listen, they had me at jalapeño gravy. It came with slaw and hand cut French fries. The chicken strips were good, the fries delish, the slaw was mid, but the gravy, yummy! My friend had the crispy chicken sandwich and enessence, it was the same as mine but on a bun and no gravy. She said it was amazing too. The other friend had the meatloaf. As he said, he's never ordered meatloaf at a restaurant in his life but they said that was a speciality so he went with it and he was VERY happy with that decision. The meatloaf was grilled, came with a very nice glaze and served with mashed potatoes. He raved about all of it! Finally, my husband, he had the chicken fried steak with mashed potatoes. He too was very happy with his decision. The meat was tender enough to cut with a fork, and that seldom happens! He too, gave the mashed potatoes a 10/10! As far as the environment, it was nice. We weren't super dressed up or anything but I would say if you are going dress more on the upper casual side. Our waitress was ok, but I was super impressed that Justin, the manager, came by to check in, he was very kind and asked about our evening. Great customer service wins me every time! As you can see from my review page, we are on a DFW food tour and I must say, this one is up at the top!

Vaqueros Mexican Fast Food

When you go to your favorite Mexican food restaurant, you imagine that people really eat these…read morekinds of things in Mexico. Of course, in your heart of hearts, you know that they don't. Vaquero's is what they really eat. These kinds of tortillas can only be made by the old grandmother's in Mexico, who have never been to the US, and never plan on going. These tortillas here are obviously grown in house on a Metate (ok, I had to look that up), And the meats taste like they are marinated for days, in order to taste like this. My favorite is the Alambre Burrito. If you accidentally order something else in addition to the Burrito, you will probably be taking it home. And when you take home your Taco's, don't forget to take the chips with you. The chips are also obviously made in house, and fried in Lard before coming to every table.

Its authentic Mexican eats and yes abuela is in the back serving up some great traditional Mexican eats. I've never been disappointed here. The corn tortillas are delicious and they're plenty of choices for tacos including Lengua, Tripa, and chivo. Menudo and the Aguachile are Oui good. Small family owned, clean and service with a smile, we've always enjoyed our meal and time here and when leaving felt like that was a bargain. I had the flautas this visit and they were amazing topped with a cheesy salad, the tortilla perfectly fried with a crispy crunchy bite followed by savory beef my tummy says yummy! Served with refried beans and finished with a slice of Flan Napolitano. Good Cooking, Friendly Service with Maggie and reasonable prices. That's 5 stars all day long !!

I had been craving combination fried rice all day, so I hopped on Door Dash and looked for what I had a mental picture floating around in my head all day. Funny thing is, we have a "usual" place we order Chinese food from, but their fried rice, wasn't what I was desiring. As I scanned the different restaurants I found that Ying's fried rice looked like what my brain was craving! This was our first time ordering but won't be the last, I of course got the combination fried rice, which was delicious, all the proteins I had hoped for and fresh, crisp vegetables. The flavor was exactly what I wanted! Hubs got Chicken fried rice and he ate almost the whole container lol, we both are the type that can make two meals off of a fried rice. The portions were large, and piping hot, the oblong black containers with the clear lid. My brother ordered Garlic Shrimp, and he truly enjoyed it, the next day he told me it was the best Chinese food he'd had since moving here about 3 years ago! We will definitely order again, and when we do I will try to remember to take photos!

I recently tried Coco Shrimp for the first time, and overall, it was a good experience. The cashier was very friendly and helped us navigate the menu, which made ordering easy. We decided to go with the sampler, and the food came out quickly. The shrimp itself didn't have a ton of flavor, but it was still enjoyable. I tried the coco shrimp, lemon herb shrimp, and butter garlic shrimp--of the three, the butter garlic was my favorite. The salad was fresh, and I really liked the poppyseed dressing. Surprisingly, my favorite part of the meal was actually the local blueberry soda--it was delicious! I appreciate the restaurant's concept, which allows for fast service, and the overall experience was positive. While I wouldn't necessarily go out of my way to eat here, it's a solid choice if I'm in the mood for shrimp. read more

Delicious! My husband and I kept driving by the Watauga location when it was being built. We drove by it and saw that it was finally open! We decided to go inside and give it a try. Wow! Everything was absolutely delicious! The garlic and butter seasoned rice just melts in your mouth. The shrimp is delicious! We brought our out-of-town guests to Coco Shrimp. They loved it too! Since we drive by there often, we'll be eating there frequently! I highly recommend Coco Shrimp to anyone who loves shrimp! If you aren't a shrimp person, then you can get the rice and salad! It is all delicious! :) read more
