Overall I had a positive experience at Coche Comedor, once we were seated. We arrived around 7 PM on Wednesday and we were told that it would be a 20 minute wait. While I realize the restaurant cannot predict how long each party will stay, our wait was closer to 40 minutes. I guess that's better than waiting two hours. However, had we known it was going to be that long, we would've ordered some snacks/appetizers at the bar along with our drinks. So, it would have been nice if the hostess had been able to give us a little more realistic time expectation.
Once we were seated, we ordered some chips and salsa and chips and guacamole right away. They came out fairly quickly and were quite yummy. We ordered the Fundito to share, which was also very tasty. I personally did not like the corn nuts in the Fundito but I'm sure others might like it.
I ordered the duck entree, which was divine. It was marinated with tamarind and was so tasty. I'm so glad I got the duck. My friend got the pork, which was also outstanding. Perfectly seasoned and moist. My other friend ordered the vegetable entree, which she ordered with the sauce on the side. Unfortunately, her dish did not come out with everyone else's entrées. And, the sauce was not on the side. Rather than sending it back, my friend didn't say anything. However I did mention it to our waiter and he simply apologized. It came out 15 minutes after our entrées, and it wasn't the way she had ordered it. And, they never brought her Diet Coke. So, I don't know what happened but it seemed my friend's order was doomed. It would have been nice if our waiter had offered to take it off the tab or at least provide a gift card or something to come back. Considering how much money we spent on all the drinks, four entrées, a few appetizers, etc., The gesture would have been appreciated. Instead he said, oh the kitchen got backed up and we'll wrap the veggies for you. Not exactly a world class experience.
I will still give Coche four stars because the food was excellent. And maybe because it's so new, they are working out the kinks. There seemed to be a gentleman at the front of the house, overseeing things but he did not come by and ask how we were faring. So, not a perfect experience but still overall, a good food experience.
