    Don Coqui just gave me the best day ever !!! Not only did I not know that such beauty was in our very own back yard, but Jay ( Manager ) and Walter ( our server ) made us feel like family!! You would never have known that we happened by such magnificences by accident!! The food was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! As were the cocktails ! I had the very best Mojito I have ever had and I have never liked Mojito's before. ( I am not kidding or exaggerating ) We will be life long customers as should anyone who is reading this. If you can't find me, look for me there !!! I needed today, all of today, on so many levels, that I dont truly have the words to enumerate what it did for me and my "brain". G certainly had a major roll, but in some strange, meant to be way, so did Jay and Walter and I don't take that gift ( from Momma nature) for granted, nor will I ever forget it.

    This place is wonderfu. Great view! We came here to celebrate my twins H.S graduation and graduates ate for free. Sangria was delicious and as always, the food always hits the mark. Definately make your way here for great views and delicious spanish food. Free valet parking!

    I went there for the first time actually my friends celebrating my birthday dinner and we were impressed by the view, service, food, ambiance and hospitality . We enjoyed every moment everyone was nice.

    Disappointing - that's the only way to describe dinner at this restaurant. Let me start by saying it is very pretty - it's situated on the water with a gazebo and outdoor eating area - it's lovely to take pictures especially at sunset. My sister was visiting me so we decided to take the drive to eat there. It's about a forty minute drive from my house but we didn't mind. We were seated in their tented outdoor space - and placed our orders. We started with empanadas to share, I ordered the cajun seafood pasta that was listed on their specials and my sister order the oxtail entree. We both had sangria - it was ok. The empanadas were good - we shared a beef and a cheese. My pasta came and it was loaded with seafood.....shrimp, mussels, clams, scallop and a lobster tail. It looked amazing and there was alot of it but there wasn't any seasoning - not even cajun which it was supposed to be. It was also supposed to be in a creamy sauce but the pasta was very dry - I didn't see any sauce at all. I ended up taking most of it home and adding seasoning and sauce and it was actually quite good. My sisters oxtail meal was a very small meal - the oxtails were cut in such a way that she had small bones in her mouth with every bite we are oxtails connoisseurs and know that they should be cut in a circular shape - which is not what she had. It came with a small portion of white rice and beans. For dessert we both had the creme brûlée cheesecake - it was pretty good. I also noticed they had a photographer going around taking photos at the different tables - he never once came to ask us if we wanted our picture taken even though the restaurant wasn't crowded. Our meal was very disappointing and I felt that we could have gotten better food at our neighborhood latin restaurant.

    One of the places that I wish had a better service. Place was amazing sat outdoors with a great view of the Hudson River. My sister was able to reserved a seat outside. While waiting the waitress asked us to sit first on the couch while they prepare our table. After a few minutes our attendant walked us to our seat. Few minutes they gave us water and chips. Waited few more minutes until our waiter took our orders and immediately sent our drinks. Drink was okay our pina colada was mostly coconut can't even taste the pineapple. My husband got mojito and my sister got margarita. Food was fast until... my husband needed another drink in the middle while eating. He was not able to get his drink until it was dessert time already. Kept on asking few people I think they forgot? They are so packed. If only they attended and hired more waiters it would have been a great experience. There was also this guy that was taking our pictures and I thought it was free ended up selling pictures with frames for $20 each $22. Something if you use card. They ended up singing me a happy birthday in a fast tune (understandable again as there was a lot of people) wish they would have been more present to their customers. Ordered 6 drinks, 2 appetizers, 5 entrees, 3 desserts and paid almost $500. Worth it? Maybe! Can improve? Definitely!!!

    My dish. Steak with onions.. steak was not good and cooked properly!

    So, this wasn't my first time coming to Don Coqui. However, it was my first time coming to this specific location. My family decided to make a reservation for Father's Day to bring my dad. The location is beautiful. Nice outdoor seating. But it's like I always say, what's the point of the place looking nice if the food and service isn't going to match it? Our food took over an hour to come to the table. Now I get it, it's father day so you can expect it to be busy. But with that being said , there are many things you can do to keep your customers happy and satisfied while they wait for their food. This place has poor management for starters. Our server was all over the place. He came took our drink/food order , brought us the drinks and we didn't see or hear from him until AFTER we complained to him and the manager about the long wait time. The food was ok. Some of the people in my table complained that theirs was cold and my steak was chewy and cooked so wrong! The fries were super soggy with my sons burger. They sat way too long and they weren't Cooked properly , which is why they were soggy. Like I stated above, my sister and dad had to complain so our table could get some attention. They gave us free dessert to try and make up for it but I was fine without it. I was already so unimpressed. I will not come back to this location. They can do way better. Again, the location is nice and all but not worth it if the food and service SUCKS! No matter how popular you think your business is because of its name , none of that matters if the stuff I stated above is lacking. 3/10 I give this place. -They have valet parking and parking in general. -Nice ambiance by the Hudson. -Good drinks

    We came on a Saturday to enjoy the ambience of the outside seating near the ocean and amazing weather. The service was slow, and felt rushed, and I'm not sure why. However, the servers and busboys were very friendly. A beautiful place to eat and take photos. Please be aware that the sun is potent and the umbrella will not always cover you from the Sun. Churrasco: sooooooo delicious, everything was perfectly cooked and flavorful! The tostones were also delicious because it was a balance of sweet and savory. These were the best tostones I've ever tasted!! Buffalo wings: were good as expected! Sangria: disgusting Mimosa: delicious

    Where do you go to Celebrate A birthday when you want to do more Than a dinner? Where can you go and turn it into A weekend Don Coqui -Haverstraw !!! The food never disappoints- NEVER The atmosphere is friendly. And then you stay at Casa Hudson across the street to keep the party going until The wee hours. Casa Hudson & Don coqui the recipe for an Epic weekend getaway!

    The restaurant is so amazing and so is the food we went on Thursday night and it was salsa night. It was a good environment and the servers were wonderful,

    This is our second time coming here and as usual, there's a great vibe if you eat outside. I love the music, the beautiful weather, and the Hudson River right there. It's a nice place to hang out and just enjoy the atmosphere. First up, we had an immense $30 Strawberry/Mango margarita. We shared it between us and then had some leftover to share with the kids (adult kids....relax!) The drink was definitely boozy and I like that in a drink :) We ordered the shrimp empanadas and BBQ Guava wings as appetizers. The empanadas were chuck full of perfectly seasoned shrimp. You get two of them for $10. It's an empanada (not a pastelillo -- if you are boricua you know what I'm talking about). The empanadas have a thicker dough compared to the pastelillos. I would definitely get them again. The wings were mediocre and I would not get them. The flavor was not "Caribbean" and they were not hot and crispy. We ate them anyway but just so you know to get a second set of empanadas instead. My hubby loved the Arroz con Pollo -- lots of chicken chunks and it was delicious. The people that had our leftovers said it was really good too. Not as good as mine...but hey...I also didn't have to clean up. I had the pork chops and I exchanged the potatoes for rice and red beans because I love rice and beans. The rice and beans were good but I was kind of disappointed in the pork chops. They had good flavor but were too thin and dry. I was expecting one thick pork chop instead of two thin ones. My husband had flan...we can never go anyplace where there's flan on the dessert menu and he hasn't had any. He said it was good. All in all - the waitstaff is friendly, the managers are always coming around to check-in on you, and the vibes are great. I definitely want to come back with the family but steer them clear of the chops and the wings.

    Food was great, service was very good and the ambiance was very nice. The service was great waiter was very attentive and always checking in.

    The place is located very good, sitting by the water with a bottle of cold beer and some snacks is a great thing. I would definitely come back for the view, the food way nothing special. We ordered calamari, tacos, chicken wings but it was just ok, I can't point out anything there. The service was a little bit slow, but ok. Could be better.

    I can say this right off the bat: this spot has only gotten better. I stop in randomly, at all…read moredifferent times, and no matter how long it's been, Fabio never misses. This time I came in with my parents after my wife kept raving about the Dominican chimi and the grilled chicken. We came specifically to try those and, as usual, left completely satisfied. I ordered the chimi and the picadera again, and once more we were blown away. The picadera was stacked with tostones, grilled chicken, fried chicken, fried pork chops, and fried ham. Everything was hot, seasoned well, and cooked exactly the way it should be. The chimi was excellent from the first bite to the last, and the mayo-ketchup tied all the flavors together perfectly. Honestly, just look at the food. I don't know why I even need to keep explaining it. Stop reading the reviews and go eat. Yes, it's that good. Yes, you get real value for your money. And yes, you will walk away full. You're welcome. 5/5 stars.

    A New Restaurant in New City. We were going to sit down around the corner only to find out that…read moreShen is a takeout-only restaurant. I quickly consulted The Yelp and found this nice sit-down place, so we came on over and enjoyed a restaurant to ourselves on a Saturday afternoon. (I won't lie - "Ixchel Bakery" caught my eye first for the name alone - but I haven't checked that out yet; we were there for lunch, not dessert.) What caught me first is that the logo sign inside is exactly what Yelp events want. I told them about potentially hosting Yelp events in the future... Anyway, the menu is straight Dominican Republic, and I enjoyed comparing the similarities and differences to my local Honduran restaurant. Some very authentic dishes on the menu here, lovingly and authenticly prepared. We started with a pair of empanadas for appetizer, the res and the pollo y queso. I'm an empanada snob but these have a nice balance of ingredients and flavors, good size for the price. While the mondongo intrigued me, I went with the equally intriguing Yaroa, a Dominican street food with meat and cheese on a bed of green plantains (or fries, if you prefer), topped with ketchup and white sauce. I'm not a ketchup person, but I wanted the dish exactly as it comes, and that's good because it tasted excellent as it came. And it arrived right as we finished the empanadas. The staff were very friendly, but a bit focused on kitchen operations; I did have to flag someone down at one point for a water refill. So that is the one imperfection in an otherwise wonderful experience, and not worth docking a star over. I would absolutely come back here again. The owner was talking potential redecoration, I was talking about trying other dishes - so there are convenient excuses moving forward. :)
