    Outdoor seating
    Josephine B.

    The name itself says it all. Simple cafe with simple menu. It's right next door to ace hardware with lots of outdoor seating available. I got eh egg and cheese sandwiches which was tasty. The restaurant is a stand and it's a away from the busy part of town

    chorizo breakfast burrito

    this food gives me a reason to Live and the staff are always so friendly. Everything has such good flavor and texture and is made to perfection. also, the cutest little outdoor café with outdoor seating, reminds me of island eats.

    Fish tacos

    These guys take great care to make sure their food is healthy and spiced so excellently. The flavor profile makes it the best Mexican food in town by far. Everything I've had here has been great.

    Cubano Sandwich $12 - slow roasted pork, smoked ham, house-made pickles, melted jack cheese, mayo, mustard, lettuce and onions with fries.

    A small outdoor cafe located in the Ace Hardware parking lot in downtown Ashland. The food is made to order and I feel good about myself for making a healthy choice for lunch with friends. The prices are average (~$10 for an entree). It's a great casual little place to grab a bite and enjoy the sunshine.

    Simple Burger $9 Add Cheese $1

    Cocorico - House salad

    Cocorico

    In a dining landscape often cluttered with performative fussiness, Cocorico on North Ist Street…read moreoffers a welcome recalibration. Chef Nat Borsi's modern Mediterranean haven is a testament to substance over style, a place where "farm-to-table" isn't a marketing slogan but a palpable ethos. The menu, which deftly avoids the trap of being overextended, delivers singular triumphs. The Mushroom Bolognese is a masterclass in vegetarian depth, a richly savory ragout that satisfies on a primal level. The house-made pastas shine; the Lamb Bucatini offers meaty, soulful complexity, while the Seafood Pasta is a testament to the pristine ingredients of the Pacific Northwest. For the carnivore, the Roasted Chicken is a beautifully simple, perfectly executed dish that speaks to the kitchen's bedrock technique. With service that is as warm as the intimate, welcoming ambiance, Cocorico is not just a meal-it's a cornerstone of the Ashland dining experience.

    I'm really glad I listened to all the good reviews here on Yelp. Cocorico is a great restaurant. I…read morewas able to score a reservation for dinner about a week before we traveled to Ashland. Our table was in their patio space, which I actually like better than the indoor part of the restaurant. The patio space feels very open and has a lot of live plants in the planters that make space between tables. It was a little warm on the patio since it was 98 degrees outside, but they keep it relatively cool on this mostly enclosed patio. Our server was great. She was so friendly and fun to talk to. She helped us figure out what we wanted to order and checked in on us just the right amount. You can tell the food here is very fresh and homemade. We started with the Deviled Eggs, which are really special. I love how they serve them over a bed of crushed up potato chips as they give this dish some salty crunch. Next we had the Beet salad, which is marinated beets over a whipped cheese. The beets do have a strong vinegar flavor, but it's balanced out beautifully by the cheese. My wife ordered the Mushroom Bolognese, which was probably the best dish of the evening. This is an incredible, vegetarian dish that is so meaty without any meat. The finely diced mushroom sauce is so good along with the handmade noodles. Also, adding burrata to it gives it a perfect creaminess. I ordered the pork chop, which was also excellent and enormous. It did take me a lot longer to eat since it was a little hard to cut, the compote on top added a great sweetness, but I feel like it could've used more. Also, the polenta and grilled asparagus was awesome. Lastly, we got the Rice Pudding for dessert. It comes with a hazelnut crumble and a dolce de leche sauce. Normally, I feel like rice pudding has a kind of thin, milky consistency, but not this. It is think and has a wonderful texture. It is probably the best rice pudding I've ever had. The nuts give a satisfying crunch and the dolce de leche sauce is light and sweet. Disclaimer: we did order one dish we really didn't like. It was a special salad with endives and lentils. The server was happy to get us another dish.
