I didn't expect much from this place, but it really surprised me in the best way 😍. I thought it would be just another typical Mexican restaurant, but it definitely changed my perspective; the staff stands out for their friendliness, hospitality, and attention to detail. Damian took care of us he was proactive and efficient, and you could tell he truly enjoys his job. He recommended the ribeye, a dish perfect for sharing; it seemed pricey at first, but the costs are fair and reasonable given the portion sizes. The portion was so huge that I had to negotiate with my stomach obviously, I needed to save room for dessert (since a good restaurant saves the best for last). I wasn't sure what to order, but Damian mentioned the bread pudding was his favorite served with nuts and vanilla ice cream and I couldn't resist; I had to see if it was as good as he said 😉. Wow, what a delicious dessert! I arrived hungry and left completely in love with the place; it wasn't just about the food it was an experience I truly enjoyed, noticing the care and effort the staff puts into ensuring every diner leaves happy and satisfied. I’ll definitely be back. Thanks, Damian.

I recently visited KOKO for brunch with my family and my young granddaughter. Unfortunately, I was very disappointed to discover that the restaurant does not provide high chairs for young children.
What made the situation even more surprising was that when we asked about a high chair, our waiter suggested that we go to the restaurant next door, ask to borrow one of their high chairs, and bring it into KOKO.
Afterward, I contacted KOKO regarding my experience. I received a response from pmanagement explaining that, based on past experiences, their insurance broker and legal counsel had recommended that the restaurant not offer high chairs for infants.
I found this explanation difficult to understand considering that, during our visit, a staff member suggested bringing a high chair from another restaurant into KOKO.
Management also stated that not offering high chairs was “the right decision considering the experience most of our guests expect when they visit KOKO.” As a grandmother and a paying guest dining with my family, that statement was especially disappointing to me. Families with young children are guests too.
I respect that every restaurant has the right to establish its own policies. However, if young children are welcome but appropriate seating is not provided, I believe families should be clearly informed of this policy before arriving.
I am sharing my experience so that other parents and grandparents with babies or young children can be aware of this before making their plans.

Once again, we are leaving this restaurant very satisfied; I’ve been coming here for years, and the truth is they really maintain high standards. Damian was our server, and wow what a professional way he has of looking after his customers. He was always attentive to the details, ensuring our table stayed clean and the food arrived on time; he was such a friendly and kind guy. He recommended the skirt steak for us to share, along with a *chapulines* (grasshopper) tostada so we could try a truly exotic Mexican dish. Visiting places like this, where you’re made to feel so welcome, reminds you why dining out is worth it. Thanks, Damian… Thanks, KoKo.
