Koko - Review - Coconut Grove - Miami - The Infatuation

You might wait 45 minutes for your reservation on a weekend, 30 minutes for water, and a lifetime for the check. At least the tacos are good and (unlike everything else) arrive on time. Most of the tables are outside, surrounded by cacti and wicker chairs. It’s a lovely setting for a breezy March dinner with friends who aren’t in a rush and appreciate saucy enchiladas. photo credit: Koko photo credit: Koko photo credit: Koko Pause Unmute Food Rundown Enchilada Suizas We’ve never wanted to switch places with a chicken enchilada so badly.
