    Great Mexican restaurant in The Grove! The outside seating is great with a cactus garden. Beatriz our server was personable and on point. We had frozen margaritas (mango for me and watermelon for my wife) that were real good and tasty. We shared the skirt steak taco platter which was also tasty and tender. Lovely decor and decorative pieces. The kitchen is open and you can see all. One note is that an 18% gratuity is included in your bill. I adjusted the tip to reflect 20%. Beatriz was definitely worth it.

    Absolutely delicious. Tortillas are made in house and you can taste the homemade goodness. Plenty of tequila options for margaritas. The guac is a must, even though it's the giant chips, super creamy. The flautas are the perfect amount of crunchy and the short rib tacos were mouth watering. Chefs kiss! Our waiter, who I wanna say was named Jorge, was THE BEST.

    Norman was the best waiter. Super attentive and kind and worked with all of our modification requests. Finally tried the steak at KoKo and it did not disappoint. Super tender and so many sides to accompany. The pepper and the corn are my favorite. The ambiance here is also so vibey. So tropical! Prices pretty well for the area. My friend also got the grasshopper taco and it was not bad at all! Tasted like ranch chips.

    I love Koko. But on a recent visit I chose the ribeye and it's a very poor cut. First I was served a medium well when I had asked for a medium. Then when the second steak came, while it was properly cooked at a medium, it was clear there was zero marbling and it was far too lean. I get it, it's not a prime steak and they want to keep it at an affordable cost. But it's a terrible cut. Just get the skirt steak.

    WOW! I don't give 5 stars freely but KOKO certainly deserves it. We absolutely loved our experience there. We made a reservation easily on OpenTable, and requested an outdoor table. The friendly staff accommodated our wish to be sat at a specific table outside, and throughout the visit everyone was very nice. The table had incredibly comfortable chairs, and the entire outdoor patio area was really nice. The overall style and decor of the restaurant is outstanding. They have an outdoor bar that looks like a great place to hang out. We were quickly greeted by our server Marlon, who guided us through our choices of cocktails and food. He was on point with his recommendations. We had a couple of margaritas that were very refreshing, as well as a different take on an old-fashioned with tequila and Mezcal. We ordered the guacamole appetizer, and I probably could've eaten another two bowls of it! My wife and I shared a board of grilled skirt steak that came with a delicious poblano chile relleno with Oaxaca cheese, guacamole, retired black beans, and corn. We also shared an order of baked pork tacos that were so flavorful! Everything was absolutely delicious.

    Really nice Mexican restaurant in Coconut Grove. Everything here is very fresh and made from scratch. They really talked up their tortillas and they did not disappoint. They were blue corn and delicious. We ordered two of their special margaritas and at $18 they were just OK. We got a tamarind and a cucumber margarita neither one knocked my socks off. The food on the other hand did. The Elote appetizer was really good. I believe they must have a Peruvian influence here because they have a lot of ceviche plates and the corn here was the large kernels that you typically get in a Peruvian restaurant. It was really good. For the main course we got chicken flautas and Seabass tacos. Both were exceptional. The churro dessert was also exceptional. Service was on point and excellent. The decor and ambience were awesome and we had a really good time. Lunch for two was $140 with tip which is pricey but this place was definitely worth it. Next time I will try the ceviche. Four stars really good.

    Koko has incredible energy, great drinks, and delicious food. Gus was our server - also, I think, an assistant manager - and I cannot recommend him enough! He had us start with the Tetelas ( $19 ) which were basically amazing house made blue corn tortilla cheesy hot pockets smothered in an incredible truffle sauce. The duck enchiladas were incredible - $24. The mango marg Gus steered me to was a chalice worth for $18 . I really want to try the outdoor space next time! Will be back.

    Ceviche
    Ashi F.

    I came here, searching for ceviche. What started with a search for ceviche ended with an incredibly satisfying experience with attentive staff, and an incredible selection of ceviches. The staff recommended some dishes we had to try, and boy where they good. We vowed to come back for more menu items, and more dishes, because everything that passed by us seemed expertly made and appetizing.

    I was extremely impressed by Koko! First off, the restaurant is beautiful, with a great bar and plenty of indoor and covered outdoor seating. This would be a great spot to bring family or have a large group dinner. Mexican food at more upscale restaurants can be hit or miss, but WOW Koko was a hit! Everything we got was absolutely delicious and so flavorful. The homemade tortillas were plentiful and delicious, I left stuffed! Koko should definitely be on your list for a dinner out in the grove!

    I'm going with my Larry David hat today. I absolutely love a comfy chair or seating arrangement. It tells me a restaurant wants me to kick off my shoes and stay a while. Koko has that in spades plus excellent Mex. I don't have a bad back or back issues but I love a comfy chair. Anyway the food was great. Guacamole was sensational. I wanted to lick the bowl good. I had tacos and my partner had a salad. Excellent service and 18% service fee automatically included. All in all a great dining experience in a beautiful comfortable setting.

    The ambiance is beautiful, makes you feel like you're in Tulum. The seating is super comfortable and the tables are spaced out enough that you don't feel crowded. The service was wonderful. Our waiter was attentive and gave us his recommendations as well as explained some of the dishes we had questions on. The food itself was delicious. They really shine with their homemade tortillas. It truly makes the dishes. The drinks are also delicious. We had the mango margarita with mezcal and the cucumber margarita with tequila and both were amazing. The best part was that the prices were very affordable, considering how expensive dining out has gotten. So will be back to try other dishes.

    We visited Koko after the rain. The entrance was so magical and beautiful. Inside was cold and we settled outside since it was not so hot. The server, Juan, suggested the snapper was excellent. So, we ordered it with salad. The snapper came with 2 different kinds of seasoning and both were excellent. We finished our meal with flan. We really enjoyed our food and atmosphere there.

We went here between January 27 & February 6/2026. La Potranca has five Florida locations, but this cantina does not feel like a chain. Authentic sabor Mexicano with an excellent friendly staff. Family friendly & handi-able accesible from the parking lot. This location gets full by 7pm but there is extended service & seating in the common covered courtyard. Plenty of parking in this strip mall location. Service is excellent, fast, & great choices of tacos & drinks. You can choose from 14 different meats/cuts for your tacos, including birria & al pastor. Bow to the taco! Also gringas, vampiros, & burritos. They have bowls (they're BIG) & brunch. p.s. try the churros with 3 dipping sauces. Drinks are extra special here. The clamato & beer cocktail is very unique. Served in a Tajin rimmed large mug, with lime & a tamarind wrapped straw. Excellante! Also a variety of margaritas served in whimsical glasses & their three house cervazas (beers) on draft. La Potranca pays homage to iconic singer & actor Vincente Fernandez "King of Ranchera". Check out the interesting connection with the staff or online. The staff here is excellent. Very helpful when navigating the menu. Very friendly. True professionals. Special shout out to Mauricio & Ralphael - you hombres make this place truly special. Mucho Gracias. We give La Potranca our highest recommendation.

The hardest part about dining here was deciding what I wanted to order. I could have ordered the entire menu it looked so good! Helpful tip... check out the menu and know what you're going to order before you get in line. Otherwise you're going to be pressured to order at the front of the line. When you walk in, you place your order and pay for it and take a table number. You need to find your own table. Our service was pretty quick, despite how busy the restaurant was. My cold brew was very good and a nice start to the meal. Our guacamole came next and it was nicely styled with pomegranate, cheese and cilantro on top. Yum! The real star of the show for me was this unassuming looking House Club Sandwich that was to die for. Seriously ... it was so good. I ordered mine without the ham, and it was divine! I wish i lived closer. I'm already dreaming of coming back. My son ordered some kind of short rib/beef burrito and it disappeared so quickly I didn't even get to snap a photo. This is a perfect spot to enjoy a great meal, I highly recommend it. One thing I can say is that it's on the pricey side. $113 lunch for 2 added up super fast but it was well worth it. I'll be dreaming of that sandwich til my next visit!

I ordered the mahi mahi tacos, and while they tasted ok, the portion size felt pretty small for the price. Overall, it came across as a bit overpriced for what you get. The service style is more casual and self-directed. You order and pay at the register, get a number, and then find your own seat while they bring the food out to you. Water is self-serve, and once you're done with your meal, you just head out. There's minimal interaction with staff, which might appeal to people who prefer a more low-key, independent dining experience or want a place to sit and work without being interrupted. That said, the service did not feel very friendly or welcoming. And personally, I left feeling a bit underwhelmed.

Our server started by bringing us complementary perfectly crispy chips and both green and red salsa. The red one, my favorite, was nicely spicy. The cochinita pibil order, garnished with pickled red onions, came out first as well as a delicious queso fundído I got to sample. My order was a very generous plate of chicken fajitas, with red refried beans and grilled veggies. Amplified by the salsa & pico, it was well flavored and sizeable enough that it can be had for takeout. As far as something, sweet, I had their batido de trigo (puffed wheat shake). It was refreshing and not excessively sweet. I definitely recommend this place!

They had seating inside a tent, music blasting from inside the restaurant speakers, plus another speaker outside, plus a DJ on top of that. The entire place was chaotic and so loud that you could barely even have a conversation. What made it even more disappointing was that this was supposed to be a Cinco de Mayo celebration at a Mexican restaurant, yet the entire time the DJ outside was mainly playing Cuban music. It honestly did not match the atmosphere at all. I eventually even asked the DJ if he could please play some Mexican music because it was Cinco de Mayo. I'm Mexican myself, and overall I did not enjoy the food, the music, or the atmosphere. Our waitress was terrible from the start. Every time we tried to order or ask for something, she acted like we were bothering her. The service overall was just awful. By the time our food finally arrived, we honestly didn't even want it anymore. I ordered the carne asada tacos and they were disappointing. The tortillas tasted undercooked, and the carne asada was tough and cold. Then came the worst part. My friend and I split the bill and noticed that a 20% gratuity had already been included. Somehow, the waitress still added another 20% tip on top of each of our bills when she charged our cards. When we questioned it, she acted confused and like she had no idea what happened. We asked to speak to a manager, and instead of calmly helping resolve the issue, he was loud and confrontational. Another friend in our group kept asking for a copy of her receipt, and the manager actually threatened to call the cops on her while refusing to provide it. At that point, it honestly made us question whether additional charges had also been added to her bill as well. Because everything was so disorganized, it took nearly another hour just to straighten out the bill situation. In the end, the waitress had to give me the extra tip amount back in cash. I understand restaurants get busy on Cinco de Mayo, but this went beyond "busy." It was chaotic, disorganized, unprofessional, and honestly one of the worst dining experiences I've had in a long time. Very disappointed.
