Koko - Review - Coconut Grove - Miami - The Infatuation
"This Mexican spot in Coconut Grove is popular. And we see why. The mole is strong, portions are big, and their housemade purple tortillas are delicious. But popularity comes with a price. 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.
