    Koko's was a fun surprise. We were lucky to get a table on a Saturday night. When we walked in, we had to wait a bit to get our table but the wort wasn't that bad. Overall, the place gave a nightclubs vibe cz it was loud and they were playing loud party music. We expected the place to be more a cozy restaurant. The ambience was nice, very upscale and very Mexico. Our server was extremely sweet and friendly. We ordered the mezcal old fashioned and the Catskills for our drinks and both were really good. For our apps, we ordered the Mexican street corn. It was good, but not super great! We then ordered some portobello tacos and some carne en morita. The mortina had a strong flavor of one spice but was overall delicious. The tacos were great too. I will definitely be back!

    POBLANO CASHEW ENCHILADAS
    Ryan K.

    had a great experience here! the cashew poblano enchiladas had a very unique flavor profile that i quite enjoyed and the steak in it was well cooked. i think a real highlight of this spot is its ambiance and service, such an upscale interior with nice servers. in my opinion, the food to portion ratio was reasonable for some items like the burrito, but for others it definitely waned more pricey than i personally would like, but overall, i think the presentation of the food and drinks was incredible and everything i had was quite tasty. drinks-wise, i had a mango mocktail off the N/A menu which was excellent, if a touch tart, and a mexican coke, classic, but of course the real highlight is their margaritas and cocktails. overall: 8.75/10 taste: 9/10 price: 8/10 experience: 9/10

    Found this gem one night strolling through cap hill and OMG WOW they have an amazing late night happy hour, incredible decor and atmosphere (felt like we were in a different city!), and our waiter who was also the bartender was incredible!! So kind and friendly. Not to mention, the food is delicious as are their cocktails!

    I had my bday brunch here with my colleagues and it was a great time! My colleague did a reservation over the phone and said they needed her card on file for incidentals. If the whole party didn't show, we would be charged $20 per person. Their OpenTable platform said this counts if it's 10+ ppl for the $20 charge so it was a little confusing since my party was less than 10. Other than that, we were not charged so it was great! The ambience is SO pretty! They had the Christmas decors up to with huge nutcrackers and Santa's sleigh! The chips were fresh and were hot which was nice! Salsa was good and the shrimp ceviche as a starter was a delight! I got the carajillo coffee which was outstanding! And the huevos rancheros, the spice was just right. They have a breakfast menu!!! And pretty cocktails!!! I'd come back again! My colleagues had a marvelous time!

    A nice Mexican restaurant in Capitol Hill. I went here for Sunday dinner and it was not busy, but reservations are suggested. The decor here is pretty colorful and ornate. We sat near the bar high top and ordered Mexican corn and poblano cashew enchilada with carnitas. Both dishes were enough for 2 people to share. The Mexican corn is fairly standard, with cotija and some chips to supplement the dish. Portions were quite decent and the corn was fairly good. The cheese is nicely melted for that nice long cheese pull. The poblano cashew enchiladas were very delicious. After all, people say that's the dish that makes them stand out. There are 3 pieces of enchiladas with a generous amount of carnitas. There's also some pickled onions and other fixings to enhance the dish. The sauce was rich yet not too heavy. Service was really good. They checked up on us once in a while and ensured prompt water refills. The whole experience from the food to the decor to the service, is top notch and worth the above average price tag.

    Chips and salsa

    The food and service here is impeccable!! We had the absolute best time. Best restaurant quesadilla I have ever had, crispy and on a delicious blue corn tortilla. The homemade chips and salsa were some of the best I've ever had. Their alcoholic beverages are delicious, strong and well presented. We loved the decor and lighting in the restaurant. It was Christmas themed at the time and was so much fun.

    A great Mexican restaurant to try! I highly recommend going during their happy hour. Their regular hour is modestly pricey, however, during happy hour they got some good deals! I had their carnitas tacos and it was pretty good. The meat was prepared nicely and the tortilla was freshly made. The sauces that came with it was tasty as well. I also had their platanitos and they were pretty good as well! The service was good. The host was nice and helpful, and answered any questions I had. The food didn't take that long to make as well. The ambiance was good! It was nicely organized and decorated. There are plenty of seatings as well.

    Carnitas Benedict $20 (rating: 3/5)
    Lydia L.

    TLDR: the price tag is an accurate reflection of the appearance (decor & plating), but not an accurate representation of the food quality or the service. We saw raving reviews of this restaurant so stopped by for some good Mexican food with good ambiance. Service was fast but our waiter very much carried a vibe of "I hate my job". Bathroom was downstairs behind a long flight of stairs, so beware if you need accessible accommodation. When looking at the menu we were immediately shocked by the price - a guacamole w/ chips appetizer is $18. We wondered if it came in humungous portion to justify the insane price, until we saw it on our neighbor table - it was moderate amount at the most. Would probably cost $5 to make at home, and cost $12 at any other restaurants. We got a Koko's burrito and a carnitas Benedict. The food was overall fine, but wow the portion was tiny. I finished my $20 carnitas Benedict 5 minutes after it was served, bc they were literally bite-sized (see photos). Also, there were multiple eggshell pieces in the Benedict... Our waiter never returned to refill our water, and they had the audacity to set the default tipping options on the payment device to 22%, 25%, or higher...

    Wait Time: We had a reservation for 15 people on a Wednesday night for a birthday dinner. We arrived a few minutes early but were asked to wait outside even though our table was clearly ready. When we asked if a few of us could grab a drink at the bar while waiting, the host said no, which was disappointing. Ambiance: The space is super cute--chic, trendy, and definitely gives off Mexico resort vibes. It's a great spot for photos and group gatherings, but I wish the overall experience matched the aesthetic. Food: The ahi tuna tostadas and chicken tortilla soup were delicious, but our steak and fish tacos arrived cold. It took a long time for food to come out, and the tacos didn't taste as fresh as we hoped. On the plus side, the cocktails were great--just slow to arrive. Customer Service: Service was very slow throughout the night. The server mixed up my fish tacos with a friend's shrimp tacos, which could have been dangerous since I'm allergic to shrimp. Thankfully, I caught the mistake in time. Overall, the service didn't live up to the expectations set by the vibe, especially with the pricing.

    Carnitas sliders and chicken empanadas

    The carnitas sliders, recommended by the bartender, were FABULOUS!! As was the Lime Mojito with added dragonfruit flavoring-- I've never liked a mojito before this one! Service was great, vibe was great and comfortable. Recommend!

    AHI TUNA TOSTADAS (GF)
    Alex B.

    We found koko's because my wife is on a never ending hunt for dope al pastor tacos and i saw this place had a high rating. The Yumz: Al Pastor Tuna Tacos - 5 star Elote - 5 star Pablano Cashew Enchiladas - 5 star Churros - 5 star Tuna Tostadas - 4 star Frida - Cuteness is 5 star but taste is 3 star The Backstory: How we selected Koko's I prewarned her, "Their al pastor are tuna based". She goes "lets look for something else" But i wanted to go. So i pulled up two other places that were probably border line condemned by the heath inspector. #strategy She goes "lets try Koko's". We got lucky with parking. Didn't have a reservation and got lucky there too because the place was full, tunes were flowing, people looked nicely dressed (chic but not over the top), and the place itself was cute AF (thanks for actually putting thought into the flow and ambiance of your restaurant) Our server was fantastic too (with the recommendations and personality). Just an all around awesome meal. We've been back 3x since. Shes also had several girl nights here with latin friends from miami who give it their stamp of approval. Its a vibe. Go immediately. Oh and if your credit card is linked to a mileage program you get airline miles on your dine too.

    Everything was 5/5. My gosh. This might be one of the best Mexican restaurants I've been to. The chips were fried fresh and paired perfectly with the salsa. The enchiladas were absolutely perfect. The sauce was different than most - full of different flavors that all complimented each other great. My family loved their carne asada plate. I didn't try it but it looked so tasty. The margaritas + mojito were also so delicious! I loved the flan. It's thicker than most, but not super sweet. The churros were also thick and came out pretty hot. The churros dipped into the chocolate sauce was a great end to our dinner. This restaurant is a little pricey but perfect for special occasions.

We had a reservation for three and they gave us two chairs and a barrel to sit on even though the other tables all had chairs. I'm not sure what was going on but it all felt very interesting.

The space is elegant, unique, and lives up to the photos. I also want to recognize the manager, who was polite, professional, and kindly explained that reservations were required. I completely understand and respect that policy. Unfortunately, my interaction with the bartender before speaking with the manager was the complete opposite. As I tried to get her attention, I felt like she repeatedly looked at me with annoyance and made me feel unwelcome. Rather than simply explaining the reservation policy herself, she went to get the manager instead. She had a problem with Hispanics. She refused to engaged at all. The way I was treated left me feeling uncomfortable and embarrassed, especially as someone who was genuinely excited to visit. A beautiful venue can only go so far when the hospitality doesn't match. I would have happily accepted that reservations were required if I had simply been treated with basic kindness and respect from the start. I truly hope this was an isolated incident because the location itself is stunning, and the manager handled the situation professionally. Unfortunately, because of my interaction with the bartender I've added in the photos, I don't see myself returning. Sadly they have a Prejudice bartender.

My favorite was the tart au citron-- it was sweet and tart and a perfect cocktail! My friend really loved the espresso martini-- I had a sip and it's probably one of the best in the city. Definitely worth a try and will be what we get again next time we come again!

We shared a salad, the steak arepa, and the pork arepa. The salad they had on the menu wasn't updated but they had a summer salad with watermelon and it was refreshing and great! The arepas tasted great but were pretty heavy, I think probably because of the sauce. But there wasn't really any way to avoid the sauce. Even splitting amongst three people it was a lot- I think it was still good to try, I liked the steak more than the pork, but I would've only ordered one in the future.
