Don Coqui

We went on a Saturday night, of course we had a 30 minute wait which, is understandable. The place is beautiful and has a romantic flair. What really attracted me to this place was the music, and the vibe. It's definitely a more adult crowd, which is different for me but nonetheless the best experience I had. In the meantime my friend, her husband, my fiancee and I went to the bar and ordered drinks. The guys ordered the long island while we ordered passion fruit mojitos which, were amazing! At the table we ordered empanadas as an appetizer which were accompanied by a very good red sauce. We also had cassava and sweet plantain chips that were accompanied with a dip that tasted a bit like hummus. As entrees I had the pernil with arroz con gandules and potato salad, it was soooooooooooo delicious! The only thing is the pernil is humongous, I obviously didnt eat the whole thing. My fiancee had the bistec encebollado with white rice. My friend had the seafood stew and her husband had the shrimp mofongo. Everything was delicious. For drinks my friend and I had coconut mojito. This was a very refreshing drink! Its my new favorite! The guys had long islands I believe. Only this time they weren't in mason jars but in big goblets. The best part of this place is the fact that after hours it becomes a lounge. We danced the night away. I also loved the fact that they played all kinds of spanish music while incorporating hip-hop and freestyle too. We will be returning.

The very first time I went I had an amazing salad and drinks. The second time was horrible. For the money we spent we received a platter of dried up appetizers, the first waitier( we switched tables) got my drink completely wrong, I told him that it was not what I wanted and did not like the warm drink enough to tolerate it. He harassed me for the 12 dollars as if I was leaving, and never offered a new drink, I was blown!!! The second waiter was much better, patient, knowledgable. With that visit I would not say I won't give the Coqui a second chance but I'll def bring it to the attention of management right away.
Well not the female hostess that stands there and side eyes you as if she just caught you with her husband, I'll approach someone with a smile that's happy that customers are patronizing and appreciates our Buisness. (So tacky!)

Great atmosphere.... excellent service.....the food is to die for. Will surely return!
