My husband is not a big Mexican food eater and he was impressed and that is really hard to do. We ordered a variety of items including Carne Asada Fries, Chicken Tamale in Salsa Verde w/ side of sour cream, Beef Chorizo Taco & Camaron Taco w/ side of cheese, Ques-Tacos Carne Asada, Quesa-Tacos Barbacoa, Queso y Chips y Salsa & Happy hour margaritas. Everything was flavorful , nice size portions. Menu items were ala carte items but everything is reasonably priced . All this was $85 w/ drinks . Our server was excellent. She was attentive without being intrusive to the dining experience. We sat a the community table top because the booths were full and we did not want to wait. Noise level was moderate and you could definitely talk and enjoy conversation with your party. We had no wait with an arrival time 6:30pm in a Friday. We will definitely be back .

If you haven't tried this place, you need to! They also have some of the spiciest red sauce ever!! And it's soooo delicious! Serving Pepsi is a major win as well!! Tacos deserve Pepsi!!

Honestly I tried to like this place, but the waitress made my drink. I knew then that it was gonna be horrible. I kindly sent drink back after taking a sip of pure sugar, non crafted. The food was just basic Mexican food, nothing special. I will probably never go back in the near future. Not sure if the staff is really wanting to serve the public or not, customer service needs to welcoming at all times. The food and service was not good at all. Not sure what else to say, but just do better.

I have dined here before but today the food was so delicious, there were no crumbs whatsoever:) I ordered the Lemon Garlic Butter Salmon. It's served with crispy potato, asparagus, steamed corn and white rice. The taste was heavenly! Everything was prepared perfectly. My husband ordered the Chicken Tacos. It was served with black beans, garnished with mixed greens and chipotle with cheese. He stated his food was full of flavor with an earthy crunch from the radish. He raved so much about the food while eating. I promise it was good in a short time! We loved our food so much and can't wait to try something different on the menu next time:) Customer service was great! Everything was amazing. We truly enjoyed it. See you soon Cocos and Beer!

Coa was definitely a fun restaurant! I went during happy hour, and I'd say that the major thing…read morethat stuck out to me was the awesome customer service. Although I don't remember the bartender's name, he was such a cool guy and did a great job of introducing me to the restaurant. I got a margarita to drink, which was a little more expensive than most other margaritas I've gotten, but the quality easily made up for the price. To eat, I simply got three (3) cheese quesadillas, as the rest of the menu was a little too complicated for me. Although they're a simple dish, they were still really good! As for the ambiance, Coa was also a really cool, upscale, and atypical Mexican place! I think it nailed the vibe it was going for, and there are few, if any, comparable places in the surrounding area (that I've been to at least!) Overall, Coa was an awesome upscale Mexican restaurant. I loved stopping in, and I will be back in the future. As such, I'd recommend it to anybody looking for the same vibe!

We were really looking forward to celebrating our 44th wedding anniversary at COA, but…read moreunfortunately we never made it past the seating experience. I made our reservation about two weeks in advance and specifically noted that we were celebrating our anniversary--44 years on September 11. We arrived at 4:15 for our 4:30 reservation, and the restaurant was nearly empty. At the hostess stand, we initially seemed to be treated as walk-ins until I mentioned that we had a reservation. That didn't seem to make any difference. We were led past three booths occupied by parties of four, two, and three. The fourth booth was empty. Instead, we were seated at a very small two-top with other two-tops about two feet away on either side--not exactly the setting we had hoped for on our anniversary, and barely enough room for dinner plates and drinks. I asked whether we could have the empty booth and was told it was reserved for a party of four. Fair enough, so I asked whether there was another table available. The hostess said she would check, despite the restaurant being almost completely empty. Our server then came over and began pouring water. I had to say "wait a minute" twice so we could find out whether we were changing tables. She then told us they were completely booked and there was nowhere else they could seat us. Perhaps every one of those empty tables really was committed to later reservations, but at 4:15 in an almost empty restaurant, it was disappointing that no effort seemed to be made to accommodate a couple who had reserved well in advance and specifically told the restaurant they were celebrating their 44th anniversary. So we left. We walked across the street to Blue Marlin, where we were warmly welcomed and had an excellent anniversary dinner. The contrast in hospitality could not have been greater. We never had the opportunity to try COA's food, so I can't comment on it. But restaurants are about more than food. Hospitality begins the moment a guest walks through the door, and on a special occasion we had planned weeks in advance, COA simply made us feel like they didn't particularly care whether we stayed or left. We left.
