I can't say enough about how wonderful Los Cocos is. Food is always fast and delicious, service is attentive and nice, atmosphere is fun yet cozy. Just love this restaurant! read more

I haven't been here in a very long time, so I stopped by since I was close by and got the Bistec Picado En Salsa Verde. It was very good, but it was overly spicy. I'm not sure if my spice tolerance has gone down or if they changed the recipe. I love their sweet tea though; it's the perfect combination. Our waitress was nice, so I have no complaints. The restaurant wasn't very busy, so our food came out pretty quickly. read more

Los Cocos Mexican Restaurant - Mexican Near Me - South Hill, Virginia

Great road trip stop. Modest little place about an hour north of Raleigh. Didn't look like much from the outside for sure, but we had a great time and split the chips and salsa, chicken quesadilla, and street tacos. Service was great. Price was right! read more

Los Cocos Mexican Restaurant - Chips and salsa - Mexican Near Me - South Hill, Virginia

Me and my fiancée were on the way back from a trip and decided to stop at Los Cocos Mexican restaurant. The food was absolutely delicious and service was excellent, food also was served very quickly which was amazing! Also not very expensive (to me at least, $30 for two adults eating) which is a huge plus. The atmosphere was also very cozy and welcoming, I will say it's not some 5 star restaurant with white walls and decor plastered everywhere, so if you're looking for something "fancier" this probably isn't it for you, But for me I love the feel and nostalgia of Mexican restaurants like this. Plus they more times than not have better food! My fiancée and me will definitely be returning if we ever happen to be in town again! read more

The food and service is excellent!!! My go to place for quick meals. I highly recommend trying this restaurant.

What a delight! Delicious food--an incredible menu, something for every taste. The lunch specials are spectacular. Excellent service. They make you feel at home. ¡Vale la pena! read more

Los Cocos Mexican Restaurant - Delicious Shrimp Chimichanga! - Mexican Near Me - South Hill, Virginia

The food and staff are EXCELLENT! I always get the same thing- birria tacos. This is our go-to place for takeout and date night

Food was very good, came out quickly as well. The margarita's are so good! Staff was warm and welcoming. Over all great service.

Amazing food! I've been here twice and no complaints. The staff is so nice and the food is fresh!

Waitress was super rude. It was as though she was doing us a favor. Food was good but service was terrible.

Worst experience ever! My husband and I are in South Hill on business. This is suppose to be a top rated restaurant but they have customers sitting on ran down burger joint benches. The customer service sucks, waiter never checked in on us and forgot parts of our order. I was suppose to receive beef street tacos and instead they brought me unseasoned beef, dry, think, huge flour tortillas and stale rice. My husband ordered a California burrito and it was practically and flavorless lettuce wrap cover in gross white queso sauce. I wish I could give zero stars. WORST MEXICAN FOOD I have ever had in my life! Your better off going to Taco Bell. read more

Service was great! Super friendly servers. Food was delicious and full of flavor. It came super quick despite the full house. Will definitely be back. read more

This local,family run business. Provides great food at a good price. My favorite is the fajita nachos.

This Mexican restaurant simply needs to spice things up a bit. We ordered two beef chimichangas, grilled chicken nachos, a chicken and cheese quesadilla and a side of guacamole dip. The food simply lacked seasoning. Mexican food should be flavorful. This food, particularly the meat, which should be seasoned, was not. It was so disappointing. We also ordered one fried ice cream. It just wasn't very good. The staff is pleasant, the decor was nice and the restaurant appeared very clean and very neat. I appreciated that. But I hope that someone from this establishment reads these reviews, particularly the ones mentioning the lack of seasoning, and takes them to heart. It could really be a great place to get Mexican food, in my opinion. read more

Good food and good prices. They have plenty options for the whole family. Our waiter was great, friendly and quick. The building was clean, they had a few TV's with different games on and comfortable seating. Overall it's a good place to go if you're looking for some filling comfort food. read more

I've been to Los Cocos a few times now and have enjoyed the experience every time. Fast service, friendly staff, good prices. My last order was the chicken adobe. Lightly seasoned chicken, cooked to the right degree of tenderness, topped off with a cheese sauce and generous mix of veggies. The dish came with refried beans and rice as sides (a little cumin in the rice would have gone a long way but it wasn't necessarily bland, either). Overall, a very tasty dish and a very reasonable price. The complementary salsa was crisp with a nice touch of heat to it, and my drink never went empty. No white sauce, though (for shame)! The restaurant was clean and quiet. Casual ambience, and I liked that the staff wasn't blaring Mexican music so loud that I had to scream to converse. Not as in-your-face as other Mexican restaurants, which is a nice change from time to time. I agree with some other reviews that the food may not be seasoned as strongly as one would expect but I still thoroughly enjoyed my meal. Generous portions for the price, too! We'll be sure to come back in the future! read more

Los Cocos Mexican Restaurant - The pollo adobe - tender chicken, tasty cheese sauce, and a nice mix of healthy veggies. Sides of refried beans and rice. Great value! - Mexican Near Me - South Hill, Virginia

Wow. Joe and I heard this was a good place to eat, so we gave it a try. Never have I been quite this surprised at Mexican food. It was totally amazing! Delicious doesn't describe how good the food was. What can they do to make it so good? I have no idea, but it is excellent. Fresh. Hot. Seasoned to perfection. Creamy beans! Who can do that? The margarita was good too, but it paled by the food. read more

Holy whoa. I'm not even going to... just go there. I was super skeptical, walked in, noticed they actually clean their menus on reg! What!?! Awesomeness. It looks a bit dicey but this place is clean, well ran, The food is LEGIT. Our waiter was hilarious. Good folks, outstanding cuisine. Do it. read more

The food is delicious & fairly quick every time my family & I go! The service is always wonderful, & the ambiance is enjoyable. It's a family favorite for nights we eat out! It's at least 40 min drive away for me but well worth it! read more

Went in before work tonight. Got my drink and cheese dip quick. But 20 mins rolled around and dude never came back to take our order. Smh. Had to leave cause we ran out of time. I hope I can give them another chance. Food smelled good. read more

The food was decent but not much different than any other Mexican restaurant... or certainly wasn't worth the 35 minute wait for the food after our order was taken,.. and I assure you it most certainly wasn't worth waiting while everyone's toddlers ran around the place climbing on the booths... even after the food was delivered and my wife and I were trying to finally eat our meal. The bar is advertised as a full bar but every drink my wife tried to order was met with "sorry.. we don't do those here..." even a most common Bloody Mary was beyond their skills... we don't think we will be going back again read more

Not quality Mexican, but it's cheap and quick. It's better than Taco Bell. The fajitas were bland and salsa watery. The service was good and fast though. read more

Los Cocos Mexican Restaurant - Chicken fajitas - Mexican Near Me - South Hill, Virginia

My enjoyment of this restaurant is fueled so much by nostalgia. It is one of the best options in the town by far, but it is not the best Mexican food you'll ever have. It's still really good, just not the best. Chips and salsa are an absolute treat though. read more

I was just passing through picking up a load in the area, this place was close by so I tried it out. This place was pretty good, the meal I got had two taqiutos , 1tamale, and some nachos underneath with chicken ,beef ,rice,beans , cheese, sour cream, guacamole, and I had a sweet tea, everything was real good, the waitress did her job well she just wasn't friendly, I would definitely come back to this place read more

Today, I purposely waited until I knew the restaurant would not be busy so I could dine with my friend and be able to talk privately. I expressed to the OWNER that I wanted a table where we could talk and not be overheard. He took us to a table right beside a table with other diners seated. I expressed that I wanted to sit somewhere more private. He took us back to the same table. There was no one else dining in the restaurant at this time. I asked to be seated in the far side of the restaurant and he said no, he had only one waitress. MIND YOU, THERE WAS ONLY ONE TABLE WITH CUSTOMERS AT IT! The rest of the restaurant was empty. I told him I would go somewhere else and he turned his back in us and walked away. A very polite young man came out of the back and offered us the table I asked for and called the waitress over. She refused to wait on us. Needless to say, I expressed my displeasure and left even though the nice younger man offered to be our waiter. I'll never go back there and I'm sure they couldn't care less. I'm actually glad we left, because we went to El Saucito and my request was not with a smile and great service. Food was alot better there, anyway. read more

Always great service, food and drinks. Fast and friendly is always a plus and that's what you get every time at Los Cocos.

Good food and great service... Typical Mexican food in a great atmosphere! Best in South Hill.

They need to change the name to Los Ca-ca. For more reasons than you're thinking. I am in South Hill on business and after reading the positive reviews on Yelp, thought I would give it a try. My husband and I stopped in for dinner and each ordered a sampler style plate. Nothing was seasoned. Chips were decent, but the salsa was bland and tasted like they took a can of stewed tomatoes and blended them with random seasoning. The enchilada sauce was sweet. Not complexly sweet or good sweet. Off-puttingly, doesn't belong on a soggy tortilla, sweet. The meat (I think it was meat, at least) was gross. Absolutely disgusting and I'm pretty sure the cheese was fake. No joke. It melted like tasteless plastic in my mouth. Too terrible to even be government cheese. I prefer Taco Tuesday at my old middle school. The one in the ghetto. Or even those "taco breakfast pizza's" they used to serve in school. One reviewer said it was an upgrade from Taco Bell....I think not. Taco bell has flavor and doesn't taste like wet slop. This place had ketchup on the table....Ketchup. Not verde or hot sauce. Ketchup. Save your stomach and go somewhere else. I'm literally signing up to review this place. That is how much I hated it. I needed to share. read more

Terrific food!! Love the place! My family and I go there an awful lot and we love everything! Try the fried chimichangas!

The best restaurant in south Hill. You won't find any better service or more polite people anywhere in town. We've been eating there every chance we get for around 10 years. You can't get tastier food for miles and miles. I love this restaurant and I especially love the food read more

Food was great and the service was fast. It is a little off the beaten path but if you are in the South Hill area it would be well worth your trip. read more

I found them through Yelp while passing through on business, and I'm so glad I stopped. Really great food and service. Huge portions too. The building is old, but it makes me think of those "hole in the wall" spots that keeps people coming back. read more

My favorite Mexican Resturant!!! Everything on the menu is great! Very reasonably priced.

Stopped in on a whim hungry for Mexican. To my surpise this was a great find. One of 2 Mexican resturaunts in our small town. Had the Burritos Verde. Unique regional flavors that set it apart from Baja Fresh or Chipotle. Well seasoned meats. Clean atmosphere and friendly staff. Affordable as well read more

I've been eating here since I was in school. I've always loved this place. Good food, good prices. Food is usually ordered and to the table in less than 10 minutes, even when they're busy. read more

Fantastic place! Genuine food and service! You go there even on rush hour and you'll still be out in 30-45 minutes. You won't be dissatisfied! I go here sometimes once a week and there is always something new to try! read more

Los Cocos is the go to spot here in South Hill. My boyfriend and I have gone there once (sometimes twice) a week for the past two years! We love it! We try other Mexican places when we travel, but we always find ourselves wishing we were at Los Cocos instead. Not only is the food great, but the service is FANTASTIC. Our waiters are always so nice and great at what they do. It is such a nice establishment and a great treasure in a small town! read more

Amazing service. Food is fast, fresh, and delicious. One my favorites restaurants. Staff is always polite and friendly. Food is always cooked correctly and I have never had to send something back because it wasn't how I ordered it. And the cheese dip and salsa combo is amazing. read more

Our family eats here regularly and we've never been disappointed. Other negative reviewers sound snobby and difficult to please. The chips are always hot and fresh, the salsa is wonderful. Perfect balance of flavor and heat. The cheese dip is always addicting and the guacamole is fresh and flavorful. I always get the chicken burrito and I pour salsa on top. The shredded chicken is always hot and juicy. It is delicious! My daughters love the cheese enchiladas and always eat everything. They love the rice and we usually have to order extra. My husband gets the fried chimichangas and they are covered in cheese sauce, so good! The fajitas are always hot and fresh. The drinks are always on point and the service is wonderful. They really do strive to make the customer happy. Very friendly people and quality food. Don't pay any regard to the stuffy, petty reviews. Anyone who prefers Taco Bell (bleh) to authentic Mexican food isn't to be trusted with a review here. We've eaten here hundreds of times and have never had a bad meal. read more
