    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.

    Shrimp Tacos

    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.

    Side salad

    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!

    Nice seating area.

    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.

    Butter Garlic plate
    Kelley K.

    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.

    Coco Shrimp - Watauga Reviews in Other Languages

    Ask the Community - Coco Shrimp - Watauga

    Is Coco Shrimp on fleek?

    Yes. Most definitely

    Is the Spicy Shrimp the only gluten free option? The menu on their website is a little confusing because it says gluten free for the sampler but the only flavor that says gluten free is the Spicy.

    I was told that Lemon Herb, Spicy, and Butter Garlic are the 3 GF dishes.

    Can you order extra shrimp?

    Of course! Each extra shrimp is just $1

    Are you able to order just a side of rice?

    Yes

    We saw an advertisement about this place and decided to give it a shot. We only live a couple miles…read moreaway. The inside is very clean and fairly simply decorated but I like that. Especially how clean everything looked. We opted for spring rolls to start. They came out very hot and I enjoyed them. Then my wife had a poke bowl and i ordered sesame chicken. I was very surprised how good my sesame chicken was. There was a nice crispy texture and tasted fresh. She loved the poke bowl as well. We will have to plan another trip.

    so freaking random.... this place serves legit sichuan cuisine…read more with a name like "hawaii grill and poke" you would assume this place is a normal poke bowl place just like any others. But apparently, my wife mentions that this place hired the chef from a sichuan place in plano. We ended up getting: the duck blood, pig feet with jalapeño, hot and sour soup and braised eggplant w/ garlic sauce. Out of the entrees, i loved the eggplant with garlic sauce. It goes so well with rice. whatever you do, definitely get it. The duck blood "soup" also came with other items like spam, tripe and intestines and veggies. It was numbing and spicy, but definitely not too crazy. Also the hot and sour soup was amazing. The Ambiance is really laid back. There are a few seats inside, and i feel like its more like a take to go type of place. But in the front, you'll see the poke section. but in the back you can definitely hear the wok going off when cooking chinese food. I also got a passion fruit green tea drink and it was perfectly made. If you're craving authentic chinese food, come here. Its not cheap, but 10x better than Panda Express.

    We stopped here for lunch for the first time on 01/09/2026 at about 1pm, at the recommendation of…read moresomeone who has been here several times before. There are very convenient self order kiosks inside (they also have a drive thru). We got a combo plate with the Molokai Chicken and the Honolulu chicken. Both were very good, with lots of rice. I feel that the price is reasonable for the portions provided. I can't really comment on the service, as you have very little interaction with any employees; however, it was a clean dining room and good food. It definitely gets a five star in my book!

    If you're in a hurry, you're craving a taste of aloha, and you're a haole....this is your spot. If…read moreyou're remotely Hawaiian, then manage your expectations. Simple menu - entree options: chicken teriyaki available in four ways (various spice levels and garnishes), Kalua pork, or mixed veggies, and served with a side of rice and mac salad. You order from a kiosk, reading the descriptions, and hope you order something you remotely want since there isn't anyone to ask questions. The food was good...a solid 4 stars. We had the combination plate of Honolulu chicken and Moloka'i chicken - nice mild spice on the latter. Mac salad was okay, not my favorite...we should have ordered double rice. Everything comes is disposable one-time use plastic - meals in styrofoam clamshells, plastic utensils are individually wrapped in additional plastic, plastic straws, etc....at least the cups are paper coated in thin plastic. Because of the lack of service, excessive disposable plastic, and lack of a diversified menu, I give this place a solid 3 stars.
