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!

Great place but the music is too loud. Can't hear when they call out your order. Can't hear someone talking that is right next to you. Super irritating.

I've been to CoCo Shrimp several times now, and it's an excellent fast fill-up. The shrimp is cooked well, and I liked the sweet and sour better than the garlic plate I had last time; it was far too wet. The salad dressings of ginger or poppy are tasty, and I like that this place does one thing, and they do it well. I've had easy counter-ordering interactions, but the man that calls your name and starts to bring out the food, on the last two occasions at least, just about threw it at me like a depressing movie scene of slop being served to orphans. I'd prefer to pick up my food from a conveyer belt than feel like I'm bothering someone while they're working, I want to eat my shrimp in peace. Overall good food with simple packaging that (I assume) is biodegradable.

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. It comes with tons of potatoes, corn on the cob and several shrimp and we were stuffed by the time we left. We will definitely come back and try something different on the menu next time

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.

Our food took over an hour to come out, which was honestly surprising considering one of the meals was just a salad. The food itself was good, and our server was fine, but communication was lacking. We repeatedly had to ask for updates on our food and never really received any clear answers. I understand holidays are busy, but the experience felt disorganized and frustrating. Based on this visit, I would definitely avoid coming here on a special holiday. I have definitely had better service here before.

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.

Love me some tacos yelp a doodle do,and Tacos El Rinconcito is serving them up the way your abuela…read morewould. 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 !!

They're friendly and constantly check on you without hovering. They offer chips and salsa as soon as you're seated. Ambiance: 4/5 The restaurant is colorful and super cute. It looks pretty clean and has plenty of tables to accommodate both small and large groups. Food: 4/5 Do you want authentic Mexican food? Would you like in house made tortillas? Then this is the place! My kids inhaled their barbacoa tacos like they were the best thing they've ever eaten. Everything was good, but I do feel like it's lacking just a bit of salt. They have a variety of salsas...my favorite is the green cilantro one. Yumm!!! Craving tacos? Go here!

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
