This was my first time here since it changed ownership like a year ago maybe. The menu is huge. Lots and lots of choices. And lots of servers. Its not like a lot of places where you have one set server. We had so many different servers stop by and check on us. It was great service. We started with the tableside guac. When my friend ordered it i thought she was kind of nuts because normal not-tableside guac is always good to me, but this was the best guac. So good and fresh!!! I ordered the vegetarian D combo. I saw on it that the burrito was in cheese sauce, but i was aware that the cheese fillrd enchilada was also covered in cheese sauce and served with a cheese quesadilla. I cant believe im saying this, but it was definitely too much cheese. Nothing was bad, but I couldnt stomach that much cheese. I probably wont order that combo again. My friend ordered the Hawaiian fajita, it was huge. It is literally served inside a pineapple. It looked delicious and the bite of pineapple i had was amazing. My friend then ordered two desserts to go, thefried cheesecake and the mexican banana. Both were absolutely delicious even after sitting in my fridge and being reheated 3 hours later. It was overall a good experience. read more

Absolutely love this spot. Service is fast and the food is delicious! As a Texas transplant I truly appreciate good Mexican food and this is my go-to spot so trust me on this one! read more

Food came out cold. Not worth the price. This restaurant used to be really good. Never had a complaint. Now, the quality of food has gone down hill. My ribeye ranchero sauce was like tomato sauce and sliced onions. They also charge a credit card service fee they never had before. Enchiladas supremo came out cold and cheese was very bad. Waitress was good except she does not seem to understand that we ordered a side of guacamole not a full. Very sad! read more

Food was awesome, and very authentic. Staff was friendly and service was fair. The place was clean, I would highly recommend

Good location! Reasonable prices! Great food! Servers were very attentive. It wasn't too packed either. I ordered the shrimp, chicken and pineapple fajitas - they comes in an actual pineapple with peppers and onions. You also get a side of rice, refried beans, lettuce, tomatoes and sour cream. I loved every bit of it and would highly recommend. read more

My boyfriend and I came for lunch on a Saturday afternoon- not very busy however a couple groups there who seemed to be enjoying their time together. The house salsa was delicious and tasted fresh. I ordered the birria taco special and it was also so delicious. Boyfriend got a specialty burrito which he was satisfied with, however if he was really hungry he may have needed to order al la cart sides because it didn't come with any. 10/10 recommend this restaurant. Plan to return. read more

Chips and salsa were good. Ordered fajitas and they were a little different than what I am used to getting elsewhere but they were still good. Friendly staff and nice atmosphere... I would recommend giving them a chance! read more

The chips and salsa are wonderful and I now Mexican food from living in Los Angeles most of my life. I order a little unusual since it was my first time. I ordered a Chili Relleno it had 2 sauces, one red and one Mole sauce, it was really good. The pork tamale was for real, they make them homemade. It is rare to get a good Tamale at a restaurant. I have only had good tamales at home. I ordered grilled chicken and spinach quesadillas, excellent. The menu is unique and in a couple of days from today they are going to have a whole new menu. Looks like a fast food place from the outside but very nice on the inside. Yelp worked well tonight. read more

Not good, tamales were dry and tasted like dish soap. I ordered the fajitas texanas and something in it tasted spoiled. I won't be returning. read more

Great food, good portion, fast service and the owner is so friendly! I order takeout from DoorDash from here often.

My family and I ordered delivery from here and we got a lot of food. We wasn't expecting that. The food was really good I must say. I haven't ordered out in a while but when I want some Mexican food I'll be back. Thank you read more

The Cocos Salad is amazing! I came for lunch and the service is super quick! The really enjoy spicy food and the chipotle chicken was seasoned with just the right amount of spice and the dish also contained pineapples that complimented the spice really well. The grilled peppers, onions, pineapples and chicken made for the perfect lunch salad. Try it out! read more

First time visit. Services was awesome. Manager checked on us. Food was AMAZING, juicy fresh and great portions for price.

We are long time regulars at Coco Locos --and I am sad that after last nights fiasco we will not go back. They have great food BUT last night we went in late; around 8 but they don't close til 9:30/10. People were leaving and there were lots of empty tables. Also lots of people waiting. We stood there for 20 minutes before I went to ask the manager what was up and he told me that they weren't seating anyone else bc the kitchen was behind with take out and door dash. Now if they had posted a sign fine, but to let people (probably 8 people total; maybe 4 parties) stand there waiting for 20 minutes and not say anything? That's ridiculous. read more

Shrimp and chicken were well cooked. Love the interior decor and menu options. Feels authentic and tastes like what you'd find in Los Angeles. Def will return! read more

I ordered the Burrito Loco and the combination of steak, chicken, and chorizo were so spot on and the cilantro and nacho cheese really made the flavors stand out even more!! Most delicious Burrito I ever ordered in this area.. also I ordered a steak quesadilla and I dipped it in Salsa, truly tasted like an authentic Mexican quesadilla aswell! the people running this spot know what they are doing! read more

Starting off with my comparison to my favorite Mexican restaurant, Fiesta Jalapenos. Unfortunately, this place just didn't do it for me. Small portions, fruit flies buzzing around, terrible (stressed) service. This honestly looks like a struggling business. Although I don't know how many Mexican restaurants are in this area. Sorry Cocos Locos, I'll be heading back to the west side for Mexican. read more

Fajitas won't disappoint! Service can be hit or miss. I've had way more positive experiences there than negative ones. Good portion sizes!

The absolute BEST Mexican food we have ever had. Everyone at the table was blown away! 10 stars if it was possible. Our server (think his name was Francisco) was also a 10, very nice, accommodating, and hard working. He was waiting the tables, bartending, and cooking all at the same time and didn't miss a beat! A great experience, great food, great service. Highly recommend. read more

If you love Mexican food, then go for it!! Best Mexican restaurant in Willoughby area. Excellent service and a ton of options to choose from. Tried the pollo con crema, quesadilla fajita supreme - both of them were delicious. Complementary salsa was mouth watering too! read more

Not the same with new owners. Not as friendly atmosphere as before. Texas Margarita is weak and bland. Price went up. Sour cream is additional cost on dish. We went few times but didn't have the taste and atmosphere. read more

Food was very bland no taste at all toppings for tacos were extra go figure. If I'm ordering a taco I would expect all the taco fixings. All in all nothing was flavorful read more

Authentic. Great service. Food was very good. Loved the chips and salsa. Highly recomend.

The chicken fajita nachos are the best. Everyone's always so friendly. One of the better Mexican places around

We were out of town visiting and tried this based on reviews. The service was very fast and the margaritas were not shy of tequila. My combination chicken taco was moist and flavorful, which you don't often get in chicken tacos, so I was pleased. My cheese enchilada has a nice amount of cheese and the enchilada sauce has a spicy flavor that was a great compliment. My companion chose a pork burrito which again was well season and moist, not dried out, as some can be. The guacamole appetizer was very good and freshly prepared. You could taste the lime and cilantro, which we happen to enjoy. The chips were sturdy enough to hold the chunks of avocado. We would definitely return if we were in the area. read more

It was the best restaurant I've ever eaten at. They had lovely food, especially the tacos and enchiladas! I 1000% recommend this amazing restaurant. Definitely visiting it again! read more

This was our first time at Cocos Locos and we were so excited after reading the pretty solid reviews. Unfortunately, our dinner just didn't live up to the hype. We got right in, didn't have to wait for a table, which was great. We ordered queso, which never came to us and my husband ordered the "Taco Tuesday" special with ground beef. I ordered the arroz con pollo. My dish was ok, but my husband was super disappointed in his. He said that it was basically just ground beef with no seasoning at all. His tacos actually came out incorrectly at first, too. They had to be remade. Overall, I'd give the food a 2-3, but the service and annoying Mexican techno they were playing really dropped my rating. Won't be going back to Cocos Locos anytime soon. read more

We read the reviews and went there yesterday for lunch. We were so pleasantly surprised by our experience we can't wait to go back. The food was delicious and the prices were perfect. The chicken in my enchilada dish was white meat, not dry, not greasy, tasted amazing, and fresh! The ground beef in my soft taco was spiced perfectly and tasted better than any local Mexican restaurant I have been to. It is under new management and they have completely remodeled, it is very inviting and clean. So forget any experience you had with the previous owners(Don Tequilas).It really is a new place they didn't just move in and keep the old, they gutted it. We talked to the new owner, José who was an extremely nice guy and very customer focused. He told us about the quality meat they use, its fresh and you can taste the difference. He told us he uses lower fat meat and fresh meat, which is why it was not greasy like other places. The salsa was made fresh and tasted great and the guac was good too. I rarely write reviews but definitely want this place to make it. The other members of my party also had great meals. We were floored with how good it was. Usually one would have certain notions of what a Mexican restaurant will taste like but these guys go above and beyond. The wait staff was also extremely friendly and attentive. If you want good Mexican food this is the place to go to in the area, you won't be sorry. The desserts are even good and made fresh. read more

I think this is some of the best Mexican food around! Great service always and friendly staff.

So, before a grocery shopping trip, my Wife and I were out and decided stop some place new. We settled on a small, unimposing place called Cocos Locos. I'm glad we did:) Firstly, walking in the door on a Saturday evening, the place was JUMPING, let me tell you. I got the inkling it's a family owned place and may I say, the staff was RUNNING to keep up with customers, and treating everyone really well. We were seated, despite how busy they were, very fast, and presented with a really large menu full of options, both traditional and new. I got their Cocos Special Salad, which was like eating one of the best fajitas I've ever had (without the carbs, which was a plus for me,) and Patty got a combo platter. Everything was fresh and tasty, well seasoned and well made. The people running the place were doing a great job, and from walking in the door, to paying the check, we felt great. Now, it was a bit loud, but that was because of he buzz of families (LOTS of them,) that apparently made up the bulk of their clientele. Overall,we really liked the place, and the prices are quite reasonable. So, if you want some great Mexican food with a side of good attitude, don't be loco and go anywhere else, stop in at Cocos Locos. :) read more

We were a little concerned walking in Coco Locos on a Saturday night, as it was pretty empty. Our fears disappeared after we were properly greeted by our server, with homemade salsa (to die for!!) and chips. We started with their $15 margarita pitcher, which were fantastic! You could taste the Grande Marnier and the mix wasn't overpowering. For our entrees, I chose the fried Chicken Chimichanga. It was packed with chicken breast and a light amount of jalapeños, and covered in cheese and ranchero sauce. Seriously, the best Chimichanga I've ever had! My husband chose the ribeye covered in chorizo and cheese. Again, absolutely fabulous (yes, he let me sample it and I give it a rave review, too!!)! We had fried ice cream for dessert. While it was good, we thought it was very odd that there was fruit cocktail at the base of it. My husband wouldn't even touch it! You know, if you're going for dessert, it shouldn't be healthy!! We'll definitely be back very soon! We can't wait to try their other dishes! read more

This was my first time at Cocos Locos, there are so many choices for mexican food in the immediate area, I've been slowly working through the list. Cocos Locos didn't disappoint. I visited on Friday evening at approximately 8:00, full house, lots of families. The place is clean and the staff is welcoming. I was seated immediately. I ordered a margarita on the rocks, sugar rim, cheap ($5) and tasty! I also received a huge basket of tortilla chips and tasty salsa. I ordered the shrimp fajita quesadilla, which arrived a short time later with a side of seasoned rice, guacamole dip/sour cream in an edible flour tortilla bowl. The quesadilla, was huge, lots of shrimp and grilled veggies nestled in a cheese sauce in a perfectly grilled tortilla. My total bill was less than $20 and was worth every penny. I will return. read more

Food is bomb af I ordered habenaro wings and they were so good and hot I will reorder from them again

Reviews for this restaurant did not disappoint. Fast service, lots of booths, and delicious food with large portions. We got a large guacamole and queso dip, both were good and they gave us a lot of guacamole! We shared a few dishes - carnitas, shrimp with garlic cream sauce, and cocos salad. All were yummy but I especially liked the first two. As a heads up, the salad was essentially grilled chicken and veggies over lettuce, good but not a traditional salad. Really enjoyed this restaurant - a hole in the wall with fresh and delicious food. read more

Stopped in for lunch today around 2 and im glad i did. I walked in and i was not crowded at all and was greated and seat right away. Was given fresh warm chips and salsa and ordered a water since i had to go back to work and could not take advantage of there margarita special. I ordered 2 street tacos sine they are only $1.50 for chicken or beef, i got one of each and they were fresh delicious and larger then i expected. I also ordered the chilaquiles which came loaded with roasted chicken red sauce cheese and a side of rice, fresh diced tomatoes, shreaded lettuce, sour cream and more cheese. It was very flavor full i did add some of the salsa that came with the chips. Over all it was a great lunch and plan on coming back service was a 4 and food i would say was 3 and a half maybe unfortunately it is the typical mexican food you get around N.E ohio. If they had some more original dish that made this place stand out among all the others it would be much better for food rating. Overall 3.5 stars. read more

This is the best Mexican restaurant I have ever been to. My family and I have been there twice now and once again we were impressed. The service is impeccable from the time you sit down until the time you leave. The chips and fresh salsa are great, actually we purchased some to go. The food comes out sizzling and everything tastes fresh. I would highly recommend this place if you are anywhere close. Beer is good too!! read more

This is my 3rd trip Cocos Locos and this time I brought my co-worker. It was nice & quiet just a few people were in inside,just the way that I like it. Our server was nice & friendly,but he seemed a little down. The service was still great,the was brought out hot & fast. My co-worker ordered the steak quesadilla with rice and she said, hers was very good. Now on to mine,OMG, I ordered burritos Jose,I asked for extra cilantro inside,outside,& all around. It was absolutely,positively, delicious. I'm still smiling because it's so big that I was able to bring half of it hm. Burritos Jose is packed with shrimp,steak,chicken,rice,black beans(my favorite), cilantro,& a few other goodies. It's also smothered in a delicious cream sauce. I can hardly wait until lunch tomorrow when I warm up the leftovers. read more

Thanks to all you YELPERS out there for turning us onto this place! The last Mexican restaurant here was not too good so we were hesitant about this new place...so as usual we checked out what our fellow Yelpers had to say...and we are in complete agreement!! My husband and I went last Sunday evening and the first thing you notice is how Clean it is!! Good start! The salsa is pretty good, but could use a bit flavor. My husband had the Fajita chimichanga and I had a regular beef Chimichanga. We were both really pleased with our meals! The wait staff is very attentive and we had a great chat with Alex on our way out. They are really working hard there to get and keep customers! Well they succeeded with us! We will definitely be back! Oh by the way, my husband said their Margaritas were fantastic! read more
