Coco Palm Restaurant

Excellent venue. The staff were friendly and welcoming. They were also very helpful. The selection of dining options were plentiful during the brunch. There were bottomless Mimosas to boot. The view was spectacular. A great experience, always!

The street name is Restaurant Drive. I was invited to eat here, and I thought it was an ordinary restaurant, but it was such a good place that I thought I entered the wrong restaurant. I arrived about 20 minutes earlier than expected. I felt so healed while walking around the restaurant. I didn't know there was such a great restaurant. This place can be used for special occasions such as family events, birthday parties, and weddings. The sunset is beautiful, and the view is really good in the evening. The food is also good. I recommend coming here with your family on special days.

Loved it great experience i definitely recommend the guava margarita it's the best 👌 wheelchair accessible. Didn't wait long since i had made reservations online the desserts are good. All plates are shareable portions

The food was delicious, but the appetizer was served along with our meal 25 minutes after we ordered it, perhaps because they were serving two groups at once. Perhaps they shouldn't book two groups at once, in addition to regular customers, on the same day if they don't have the necessary staff to accommodate them. Ultimately, the food was delicious, and that helped a bit with the hassle of waiting so long for food.

I've been to this restaurant several times and always recommend it for a fine dining experience, especially when celebrating a special occasion. So, it was an easy choice for my manager’s 25th work anniversary. Typically, complimentary beans and bread are provided upon seating, but that wasn’t the case this time. I had to request them during our meal. We opted for the chicharrón with yucca, but unfortunately, the quality wasn’t up to the standard I’ve experienced on previous visits. My manager was especially excited to see it on the menu but ended up disappointed. On the bright side, the drinks were excellent, and the flan was absolutely delicious. We dined on a Thursday night when the restaurant wasn’t very busy, yet the service still felt rushed. I’m hoping for a better experience on my next visit, as this place has always been a favorite.

Good food and generous portions. Service a little slow but good waiter. Filled water at least 3 times. Fortunately came on a free parking day

Very lively place with great ambiance. Visited on Sunday and it had several events going on. There were Mariachis for the private party that we could hear and lots of good vibes. We really enjoyed our papa rellenas and surf & turf plates. Look forward to coming back for a special occasion.

Was here for my friends wedding. The place is a nice venue for a wedding. She had her wedding ceremony and reception at the same location. Ceremony took place on the outside terrace, and reception took place inside. The rental of the place came with all of the chairs tables, food, servers, and valet parking employees. Decorations not included. Parking is available, but it's not free. All the guests had to pay $8.00 for valet parking, which has to be paid in cash. You are not allowed to park your own car, even if the parking spots are only a few steps away. The biggest downside for me was the staff. They were rude and very aggressive. When the food started coming to the table, our salads were practically tossed at us. The guy serving our table seemed like he really didn't want to be there. Also, it felt like we had to eat everything pretty fast because they started coming around collecting our salad plates before we were done. We had a bit more time to finish our main course, but the staff would snatch up your plate if you were caught off guard even if you were still working on your meal. When it came time for the toast, they brought us cider or champagne, but we really didn't even get time to finish our drinks before the staff collected our glasses! There was a lady that would come around to take everything from our table without asking even if we were still enjoying the food. She took our food, coffee, cake and our drinks. I loved the place, loved the food, but hated the service. If you want your guests to take a lasting impression of your event. Maybe look for other options, or maybe try to get the cheapest deal since the service is really bad. Wouldn't recommend this place to any of my friends.

This is a great restaurant for Cuban food. It's also a nice location with great views and interior decor. It is pricey but worth it. Only downside is that service is hit and miss. They cater to large parties so sometimes one gets lost among the large group events. Be sure to reserve ahead of time, as walk-ins are unlikely to get seated, especially on weekends. Be aware that valet parking is mandatory in evenings.

The restaurant sits on the hill side of the 10 fwy near Pomona fairplex. We arrived 30 min b4 our reservation hoping we might get seated early instead waited afditional 45 min after our reservation time b4 we were seated. I had already past that hunger stage. I even went up to the host a couple of time, asking is the table ready. She kept saying a few minutes. their getting the table ready. I understand the restaurant was crowded that night. Thats what the reservation is for to be seated in appropriate time. It is total unacceptable. We could have order and finish eating at the bar b4 they even seated us. This is extremely poor host services. She did not know what she was doing. The food and price was reasonable. The wine list was limited, the waiter and the manager didn't know their wine too well. They serve a Napa wine label from Washington State. I didn't know Napa was in Washington St ... :) I would not go back or recommended this establishment to anyone I like. It was a bad dining experience. I would think twice b4 dining here.

This post isn't about the restaurant or the service at the restaurant. This review is about the valet service. First it's annoying that you pass by all the parking spots and they require you to valet your car. Hey guy working at the valet counter, the definition of a tip is a - voluntary or discretionary payment in recognition of GOOD SERVICE. Also The customer decides whether to give a tip and how much, meaning it's not a fixed or required fee The fact that this is the second time I saw you shake your head with disgust and disapproval (one at me and one to another person) for how much we tipped and you wanted to see the tip before you got us our cars is wild. I know for sure we aren't the only ones he's done that to. And honestly this basically ruined our experience at Coco Palms. This person needs some customer service training or something. Your tip jar was looking kinda empty. Should really look at the mirror and ask yourself "am I the problem?" It sucks, cause I know this persons attitude is ruining it for the rest of the valet team. That is all. Be better.

Came here for Brunch and was a bit disappointed with the food selections. I was excited to see they had Prime Rib available but everything else was blah. For about $56/person, I would pass and go next door to Pomona Mining Company or further down the 60 freeway to Vita for their Sunday Brunch instead. Service was good so I might come back to try their dinner menu. Tip: Valet only for $8/vehicle.

The ambiance was perfect, especially with the beautiful view of the city. The room was bright and inviting, with sunlight streaming through the large windows, creating a warm and festive atmosphere for my birthday celebration. Add to that is the good mariachi trio who was playing while we were eating. It was so much fun for me and my guests !! Service was excellent--our waiter was friendly, attentive, and quick to assist with anything we needed. The food featured classic Cuban fare, rich in flavor and beautifully presented. Everything was delicious overall, though my guests and I found the crab legs a bit too salty--something that could be adjusted to improve the dish. Despite that, we had a great time and truly enjoyed the experience!

Never been to Coco Palm, but a friend's gathering brought me here. Beautiful location above the 10 freeway. We had the event buffet, a mix of Cuban dishes. I have never had yucca and rice mojo, and I liked it! I would come back to try other items - there are events offered as well, which I thought was really cool. Pleasant staff. Valet parking only.

This place was so great for an early mothers day dinner. I decided to make a reservation a couple days before and i secured a 5pm time. Be aware that parking is only valet, and costs $8. We were sat as soon as a the entire party got there. We ordered chicken empanadas (3 pieces) which came with a chimichurri type sauce which paired so well with it. The guacamole we ordered came with tortilla chips, plantain chips, a mango salsa, and a green salsa. Both appetizers were delicious and finished by everyone at the table. Every single dish ordered was devoured and the table was silent as we ate! I ordered the fricase de pollo that came with rice , potatoes , and black beans. The dish was so well done and would order again. The desserts were all so delicious, i especially loved the flan cubano.. it was perfectly sweet. We did order 4 lemon drops ($15/each made with Tito's) which were large and made well. The total for everything was around $300 included 4 shots and 2 beers. We did have a large array of dishes ordered for the table. The location and ambiance is nice plus the view is amazing with large floor to ceiling windows. The service was good and I would come here again!

This was such a great experience. My friend and I came to have an impromptu friendsgiving and let me just say, this may very well be a yearly tradition. We started off with a couple Manhattan cocktails, and the papa rellenos. The drinks were beautifully made and the papa rellenos were delicious. They were stuffed with beef and pork, and garlic sauce they have drizzled over the top notch. For our main we ordered the 3lb ribeye to share. It included mashed potatoes topped with creamy mushrooms, sauteed veggies, plantains, chimmi churri and a blue cheese horseradish sauce for the steak we also added a side of saffron rice. **DROOL** The price for this was about $125 bux(not including the rice)! This could have easily fed three people, and turned out to be such a great deal. Our server Gineva (spelling) was so sweet and attentive. She was absolutely fantastic. Our dinner was accompanied by a view of Pomona valley, at night the city is lit up and it sets the mood for the whole restaurant. My only single complaint, and more of an annoyance really was when we we seated, there was an overwhelming smell of fish which wasn't at all appetizing, but thankfully as the night went on it dissipated and before we started out dinner, it dissipated. Overall, it was a great experience and I will definitely be back to enjoy this epic steak once again. Thank you for having us!

The plantain chips are amazing and so was the view. Salsa night is the night to come to enjoy dinner first followed by a fun night of salsa dancing. A must try if you are around the around the area.

Love coming here for special occasion. The dining room overlooking the 10 freeway with plenty of lights, great drink selection, amazing Cuban food varieties. This is one of the old vibe restaurant that reminds me of Miami Vice scene (lol, Millenials here, maybe there's another up to date reference). Alcoholic drinks are averaging about $15, and one entree about $30. Service is hit and miss, sometimes they are quick, with another time that the server rarely check if we needed anything. I usually avoided going on Fri, Sat/ Sun due to valet parking. I have this weird thing when people driving my car. So I always dine in during weekday, where I can park anywhere I want to, close by the entrance, free of charge, and no one touching my car. That's just me.

Valet parking only ($8 cash) The inside was beautifully decorated. They had a Photo Booth inside that didn't work and wouldn't send photos. So that was a waste of time. Hallway inside serves as a waiting area for people with reservations. Even though reservations are made, customers are still expected To wait 30 minutes to be seated. The servers were really nice., even on busy days. The food was delicious. We ordered a four course meal. The appetizer was nothing crazy just an empanada that tasted as if it was microwaved. The lobster bisque was delicious. Main course was over cooked. Dessert cake was still frozen from the freezer. Beautiful view of the 10 freeway and traffic As they sit you down in wobbly tables that moves as you eat your food. Good luck trying to flag down a server for a glass of water. However they're quick to bring you your bill to move you along.

Absolutely love this place when I'm in Pomona. I have been here before for dinners but I never had their Sunday Brunch. Sunday Brunch at Coco Palm is filled with a ton of tasty food. I was stunned, how much food and how delicious ALL of it was. The food is a mix of Cuban as well as typical American breakfast foods. Its both a formal setting with a majestic view and nice ambience. Staff was friendly and attentive for all the times I have been here. I believe I'm due for a visit soon.

This Cuban restaurant is located off the 10 Fwy off the Fairplex Dr. Full sized bar. Valet parking only, @ $8. Also hosts wedding ceremonies & receptions. Growing up in SGV, I've been to Coco Palm's plenty of times and have been satisfied with every visit. We made reservations as we celebrated my mother-in-law's birthday this Saturday and had an amazing dining experience. Because we were a large party of 19, we were given a limited menu. We chose the 'Silver Prix-Fize Menu' @ $42/person, which is a 3 course meal service. I had their 'Ropa Vieja', which is shredded beef flank simmered in bell peppers, onions, and tomatoes served with rice & beans, accompanied by a 'Strawberry Mojito'. For dessert, I had their 'Flan Cubano'. Everything tasted very good with fresh ingredients. Service was amazing. Every single staff member we encountered was friendly, starting with the hostess. Shout out to our server, Eddie, who was extremely attentive and helpful with the menu. He made our dinner experience an excellent one as he engaged with our family. He definitely made my mother-in-law's birthday special. Overall, it's always a great time at Coco Palm's with its beautiful views of the city.

This place is amazing for the view and great food. On the weekend they charge valet for parking and if not you have to park in a farther lot. Their serving sizes are pretty big so I would recommend sharing! The seafood paella was delicious with pieces of salmon and lobster. We also celebrated a birthday there and they mentioned they do not give out free desserts however you can purchase one and they will bring the celebration.

We had another great date night here last weekend! I will never stop ordering the salmon and guava margs! I get the same meal and drinks every time now. Don't forget to ask for a side of chimichurri to top the salmon with, you won't regret it!!

Came here for the Saturday Brunch Buffet, and the selection was great -- there was a good choice of prime rib, crab legs, a variety of fried rices, pulled pork, oxtail, fried white fish, and much more. The receptionist was very friendly and nice and we were seated quickly, and there was even live music which was beautiful. The one thing that really soured the experience was when we asked one of the waiters if sodas were included, and he said it was and asked if we wanted any -- and so we ordered sodas. When the bill came, they had charged us $6 per fountain drink. We asked about it but they just denied it saying the only drink included was the mimosa and disappeared from sight until we finally flagged someone down to pay with that extra amount. We got no explanation, no apology, they just gaslit us into thinking all six of us misheard. Had they been honest upfront when we asked if the sodas were an additional charge, we wouldn't have had any issue but this lack of accountability was extremely upsetting. Was pretty happy about this place up until that ending but now I'm not too sure if I'll be back ...

Have you ever been driving down the 10 from LA on your way to Palm Springs and looked over to see a cool looking building on the hill with all the lights? That's Coco Palm. And it intrigued me for a long time. It was either going be good or it was going to be terrible. It was terrible. I picked a kind of special occasion to go there, which was unfortunate. The service was laughably bad. Someone at the table right next to us dropped their water glass and it shattered. That broken glass sat there throughout our whole dinner. Although servers saw it, not one came to pick it up. Wild! In short, it was expensive, the food was not great, my drink was way too sweet but no one ever asked me about it so I never got to try something else, and the service was nonexistent. Let it live in your brain but don't actually go there. ALSO, because I'm not a monster I did send an email a few days later letting them know about the service because I hate to put a local spot on blast. But no response and lo and behold I just drove by it again so here we are. Also it wasn't even that special inside. One sad star.

This place has a great view. We had five star service fron Geneva. Only disappointment was that one of the entrees was not served hot. Still we enjoyed and had great service.

I am in complete awe of this place. I had the most amazing dinner experience with my girls at Coco Palm. The ambiance of this place was lovely, it had modern decoration and the views were so beautiful during the sunset and at night. Our waiter was named Luis and he was spectacular. Luis was super kind and throughout the entire dinner he checked up on and even gave us great recommendations of the menu. Excellent service. As for the food I tried the virgin mojito and pina coloda, and both were very good and I enjoyed it a lot. For appetizer we got empanadas and they did not disappoint, they were super delicious! Also they give our complimentary bread with a bean spread. For my entree I got the felicase de pollo. I liked my dish a lot and it was very flavorful and delicious. Overall, I had a great dinner at Coco Palm. I will definitely come back in the future!

Situated on top of a hill overlooking the city and mountains, this place has great food and service! Long driveway opens to a huge parking lot. Koi pond and a couple of parrots greet you as you walk to the entrance of the restaurant. Appetizers; Ceviche Original - white fish, fresh lemon juice, pico de gallo, tortilla chips. $15 - fresh and light starter. Calamares Fritos - baby squid, battered & fried, marinara & jalapeño. $15 - I recommend this appetizer! It wasn't oily, nicely cooked, came with two kinds of dipping sauce. Delicious! We were also given bread (sliced and slightly toasted with butter), and black beans. If I had known we were going to get this, we would have skipped the other two appetizers. The beans were DELICIOUS! Eaten with the bread....YUMM!!! Entrees: All dinner entrees are served with maduros Paella Marinara - saffron rice simmered with lobster, fresh fish, scallops, squid, clams, mussels, crab, shrimp. $45 - if you like seafood, you'd like this. Delicious! The rice is very tasty. Paella Valenciana - saffron rice simmered with chicken, pork, chorizo, fresh fish, scallops, squid, clams, mussels, crab, shrimp. $36 - I didn't get to taste this but was told it was good. The difference between the two paellas are this one has meat and lacking the lobster. Paririllada de Mariscos - grilled petit lobster tail, fresh fish, scallops, squid clams, mussels, crab, shrimp, arroz amarillo. $48 - Another did I didn't get to taste, but it looked so good! Rabo Encendido - beef oxtail braised in a red wine reduction, arroz con frijoles. $34 - had a taste of the oxtail and it was so tender and full of flavor! Another great dish! Parrillada de Argentina - grilled Prime New York, churrasco, beef short ribs, house made chorizo, chicken breast, chimichurri, moros. $48 - Had a taste of the beef short ribs and new york steak and they were yummy! For drinks, we had Mojito original, Guava Margarita, and piña colada mocktails. Service was awesome! Serving size is plentiful!

Beautiful restaurant. Food Cuban nice the best paella. , rabo encendido , even de expreso Coffe , service very good , family restaurant I like it very much. Thank you

Sunday Brunch at Coco Palm in Pomona is filled with a ton of tasty food. I have been here before but I never had their Sunday Brunch before. I came here recently for a friend's graduation celebration and this place was super packed and busy. We made reservations since it was a large party. Overall once you get seated and your entire party arrives you have technically 90 minutes to enjoy the food. It's buffet style, so you can grab whatever you like from their choices. They have a mix of food and I also have their salad, some paella, and a mix of meats. Had their cooked salmon and large shrimp that were chilled. They also have crab legs so go all out on those if you enjoy seafood! Ceviche was nice as well.

Coco Palm seriously has some of the most delicious Cuban dishes I've ever had! The vibe is great too and perfect for a date night. Great food, great atmosphere and service. Definitely coming back!

Absolute shit show of an establishment. Charged me $80 for $25 worth of drinks. Disgusting service. No class. Host talking poorly about the bride to be.

The food is amazing and the views are just extra! We also had an amazing waitress who was very attentive. We had a beautiful Mother's Day dinner here. They do get a zero for valet! I let the valet know I was getting my baby out of the car and the stroller because you have to valet on the weekends I was just getting my baby out when he started taking off I screamed at the top of my lungs at this guy. Please do better

The buffet food items are delicious! The service was great when we attended this Mothers Day

Went on a Sunday after church so like 1:00 pm we are talking more than a few years ago What I remember the food was ok the price was high for back then customer service was ok love the view

Overall the service was not bad and the views from your table are amazing. You're able to walk outside after or during your meal and take pictures. Prepare in advance that whether you choose to park your car yourself or do valet service you will still need to pay a fee of 8 dollars to dine. They do take Venmo, Zelle, and Cash. We went to celebrate my mom's birthday and she was provided with a small dessert and candle and they sang for her. It was nice! As a table of 6, we got three starters, 5 entrees, and three cocktails and felt it was filling! For the starters we got the beef and chicken empanadas, papas rellanas, and the trio de platanos. Everything was honestly very delicious! The sauces that they came with were flavorful. Additionally, I got the guava margarita and my sister got the mojito and both drinks had a good flavor to them. In terms of entrees my parents shared a parrillada de mariscos, my sister and I both got the churassco, my sisters boyfriend got the sea bass, and my partner got the Prime New York. The Yuca mashed with our churassco was our favorite part. The meat was tender and the plantains were so sweet. We loved it! However, for the Prime New York, the meat was tough and was not our favorite. For dessert we ordered the lava cake and it was delicious! We would definitely come again, it's a cute restaurant for a celebration.

Came here for Sunday all-you-can-eat brunch for Mother's Day and made a reservation online in advance. The food is a mix of Cuban as well as typical American breakfast foods. The prime rib and paella are served by someone. We made a reservation online in advance for 10:30am and I'm glad we went earlier because by 11am, the lines for the food became quite long. Indoor and outdoor dining available. It's good for kids. They do serve alcohol. I used to really like this place, but found a few issues during this visit. The problems we experienced were as follows: 1 - We were charged for the orange juice even though the menu notes that you can get a complimentary mimosa, champagne, or sparkling cider. We brought it up to our waiter but he didn't remove it from our bill. 2 - the valet situation is atrocious. Someone cut in front of me and the valet working did nothing even though she saw that I was there first. She was also short with everyone. Furthermore, we were required to pay $8 for valet but some people just passed by the valet and self-parked with no negative repercussions. 3 - I got food poisoning after eating here. Enough said.

When we arrived without a reservation, the host attended to us quickly and was very friendly. Our table was ready, and everything started off well. However, we had a disappointing experience when our food was mistakenly served to the table next to us. About 2-3 minutes later, the waiter realized the mistake, took the plate back from the other customer, and tried to serve it to us, even though the person had already added pepper and squeezed lemon on it. From a hygiene standpoint, this was completely unacceptable. We immediately told the waiter we wanted a fresh plate, as it was not right to serve us food that had already been handled by another customer. Even the person at the other table apologized and mentioned it was their first time at the restaurant. They confirmed they had seasoned the dish and also found it inappropriate for the waiter to try to give it to us. The staff should be better trained or at least use common sense in such situations. We mentioned this issue to our waitress but did not ask to speak with the manager. However, this experience made us decide that we probably wouldn't return. Additionally, my piña colada had more whipped cream than actual drink, which wasn't enjoyable. On the positive side, the food tasted good, but the bathrooms were a bit dirty, with paper towels scattered on the floor.

I had a lovely time at the Coco Palm celebrating a late Mother's Day during their weekend brunch buffet! The service was IMMACULATE! The food was very good. My favorites were the paella, prime rib, and chilled crab legs. So so so bomb. The shrimp in the paella was super dry though so I opted for the chilled shrimp. For dessert, I had the flan, cheesecake, and chocolate covered strawberries. The flan was okay, the cheesecake was amazing, and the chocolate covered strawberries were okay. Everything was refilled quickly and each station was kept very clean! Please keep in mind the only option for parking is paying for their valet ($8).

Christmas company dinner. Many different rooms for private small and large gatherings. Service was excellent. The staff was dressed professional. Very elegant romantic ambience. The bar area is small and intimate. The outside view is amazing. There's different patios so if people want to get some fresh air and look at the view you can do that. There's a perfect spot to have a wedding while the sun's going down. I pretty much had a great time. I think it's excellent for private events. Food was delicious. Restrooms need to be updated. And the wooden deck stair area needs to be a little more lit so that no one can trip and fall. Other than that, it's a pretty cute romantic place.

Service and drinks were great Food was good but was a teeny bit too salty. The restrooms are shared gender so the floors were dirty and sticky.

We came to celebrate a friend's birthday and were a large party. We dinned in a banquet room which had amazing views and festive ambiance. The decor is esthetically stunning with spacious parking and an entrance that greets you with flowing ponds and exotic birds. Now let's talk about the food, since we were a large party we were provided with a set menu. I ordered the salmon that was full of flavors and delectable. It was accompanied by perfectly grilled vegetables, mouth watering rice, and tasty plantains. Great dish!! Our server was amazing, she was so attentive even though we were a large party. She was polite, friendly, and had great knowledge of the menu that added another layer of enjoyment to the dinning experience.

I was here a few years ago for a wedding and once here over 20 years ago for another occasion [i can't recall the occasion]. Always remember it being a very nice place. Yesterday I was there for a birthday party and again, we had a very good time. Everything was well done including the service. The prices are steep but the quality and atmosphere is very nice. Plenty of clean bathrooms for all the people there and we were in a rented small hall on the south side of the property. Well small is relative, our group had about 50 - 60 people. The buffet line is impressive and delicious. CRAB LEGS, Pallela, salmon, fried fish [PESCADO FRITO was incredibly delicious], Ropa Vieja, CEVICHE, LECHON and a carving station with beef and ham. That was on one side. Items in all caps are must haves! The other side had fried platanos [plantains] , arroz con frijoles [yes it may just be rice and beans to you but all Central American and the Caribbean countries have some version of black beans and rice. My Costa Rican heritage call it Gallo Pinto and it's an important and delicious staple for breakfast. But they also had ox tails, chicken prepared in so many different and delicious ways. I was looking at the Pallela first but was so disappointed that I ran out of room before I could get it onto my plate. Unfortunately, I could not go back because I was so full but now I have an excuse to go back :) The bar prices seemed steep to me. While the waitress was super sweet, she was overwhelmed with the volume of people. I think they need to give her some support. It's graduation season, a baptism party and our 60 person birthday party plus many patrons that just come in for lunch and they had one bartender. At one point, she even excused herself and went to help a table in the patio then came back in to make our drinks. At $15 a drink, you would think they would want to pour as many drinks as they could. Prior to leaving, we talked about having one more drink and one in our group said, "I don't want to wait in that line" and we all decided not to go back. The day we went it was very busy and there was NO self park. Valet parking was $8.

Yummy with a capital YUM! The food was exceptional. We were a party of 14, celebrating my birthday. We all got different dishes. I got the arroz con pollo. It was pipping hot! I had to let it cool off, when I started eating it, it was delicious! The rice and the chicken and the spices were savory. I wish I had more of it, so delicious! The service was great, they took very good care off all 14 of us! The employees brought me a cake and sang "Happy Birthday" to me! They really made my already enjoyable night with my friends. One more thing to add, the view was fabulous! You would think that the reason to come to Coco Palm is the view, but that's just part of it, it's also the food, the service! All my friends loved their dishes! We're coming back, yes we will!

1 star for location and view. 1 star for the ambience. Came here for a special event with about 120-150 attendees. We were one of the 1st ones to get to our table but the last ones to get served our dinner. They pride themselves with their steak but didn't even ask us how we want our steak and left us with no option with our dish. Our steak was served at room temperature and super hard! We checked Table after table steaks were terrible and there was a lot of steak that just went to waste. We talked to our waiter when we complained about it but he didn't take any action and said all the steaks are cooked the same. We talked to another waiter but same thing. Very disappointing to think that they got paid for this special event but didn't deliver to what they advertise.

Food is excellent, Service was also commendable. The price for the variety and amount of food is acceptable and reasonable . The atmosphere is absolutely lovely and it was comfortable . I hope to return again soon .

Nick at the bar is very nice and kind !!! Mojito he made is one of the best :) Food is great as well

Came here for time for lunch. Lucky enough to get in same day without a reservation. The views here are gorgeous! You can see hills and the freeway. This place is a venue for many amazing events. Service was superb. They were very attentive and made the experience dining here amazing. The food was made so well. Delicious Cuban food that screams authentic, tasty, and pretty affordable. The chicken Pollo Asado was so tender and succulent. No dry chicken in sight. Also the sauce that they have with the chicken is addictive. It's like a secret sauce that they use. It's not Cuban without the plantains. The Explorador appetizer was a selection of different things to try. Highly recommend this place if you're looking for a grand dining experience with great views, food, and service. Also great for group events!

Having heard and seen a lot of mixed reviews, I was excited to try this place and I'm happy to say it did not disappoint. The ambiance is rather plain and honestly feels like a banquet hall if you ask me but I was there for the food. The service was average to be generous, when we asked for refills the waiter did not acknowledge us and after asking 3/4 times he said it's coming as opposed to just acknowledging the first time. Secondly, when we asked for a side of "arroz amarillo" he brought out "moros" and stated that's what I asked for instead of just fixing it. Once we got past all that the plate I got was the "Parrilada de Carnes" and it's enough for 2 for sure. The star of the dish was the (long cut of meat) in which they give you 3 pieces I did not know the name of the cut but it was so tender and juicy, it was the best thing I had all day. The complimentary beans with the bread are a trick, they're so good it's hard not to fill up on them. The empanadas were so savory and the chimichurri was the perfect sauce to accompany them. I cannot wait to go back to try the brunch. I'm glad I made the trip.

Had my wedding at Coco Palms last January. 2025. They are excellent in everything. Loved this place. No doubt about it.

Food: 4* Service: 4* Ambiance: 4* Value: 3* Stopped here for lunch with a colleague. I ordered the lechon and a yuca frita appetizer. The yuca fries were good, but really under-seasoned. The dipping sauce was a must. The lechon. Oh my word, can we talk about the lechon? Juicy, tender, melt-in-your-mouth delicious! Very flavorful and oh so tender. The sides of rice and black beans (already mixed) was good, if not dry. The maduros were perfect, sweet, but not too sweet. I would return. The only issue are the prices. Pretty expensive for Cuban food.

I've driven past this place for years, and I didn't try it out until recently with my husband. We wanted a hassle free romantic meal out just the two of us without having to brave any ridiculous California traffic. Coco Palm is it! We will come back. Ambiance - beautiful views with California rolling green hills complete with smog and freeway (hey comes with the territory literally). The restaurant itself is beautiful too with many rooms great for various events. Outside you're even greeted with coy fish and a water fixture. We wanted to come during daylight so we could see Pomona and its outskirts Parking - only down side of this place is it's mostly valet parking which entails $8 plus 4% if you use a credit card. Per server you don't need valet M-Th Service - service is friendly and gets the job done, Pomona style Food - Delicious Cuban cuisine. We ordered calamari, churrasco, fricase de pollo, and bread pudding. The calamari was lightly breaded (huge plus), well seasoned and came with two sauces. The churrasco was delicious. We got medium steak and it was served on a bed of fluffy yucca mash. My husband said when we come back he's getting this again. The fricase de pollo was good comfort food. It was juicy braised chicken and potato with saffron white wine sauce over rice. I was feeling slightly under the weather and the fricase de pollo hit the spot. Lastly the bread pudding was delicious too. It came with a pleasant surprise of sweet coconut topping. The bread pudding itself had a nice creamy texture and spiced taste. Price - for the quality of food, ambiance, and view we felt it was very worth it We will definitely come back. I noticed many tables getting paella. I wasn't in the mood for paella the day we went but maybe we'll try it next time. What a nice local gem. Glad I finally tried Coco Palm after years of driving by.

Havana meets Madrid at Coco Palm Cuban food is considered a fusion of Spanish, "Taino" Native American, African and Caribbean food. And, they have such a diverse selection. The decor is stunning!! It's a gorgeous venue on a beautiful hilltop. It's a great place for a date, girls brunch or get-together with friends and family! We had a reservation for Saturday afternoon and we were seated fairly quickly. We came for the All-You-Can-Eat Brunch Buffet, which has a variety of dishes like Ceviche salad, shrimp, crab legs, black beans and rice, bacon and sausage, scrambled eggs, plantains, yucca, paella, and more. The hot dish standouts for me were Lechon Asado, Impossible Picadillo and Prime Rib. I wish that some of the hot dishes were more hot, like the paella. Some dishes were better than others. They had a variety of desserts. My favorite was the flan, which had the perfect firm but creamy texture and not overly sweet. The caramel sauce was perfect. Their roaming music, Trio Casablanca is wonderful. Adds to the ambience!! The buffet is a little pricey. The staff were friendly. AYCE Brunch Buffet Saturday & Sunday 10am - 3pm $46.99 adults $21.99 children (5-10 yrs old) children 4 yrs and younger FREE Reservations are required Note: they only have valet parking $8

Went recently for Mother's Day brunch and it did not disappoint. Made reservations for 10am and the place was already busy, busy, busy. You are given a 90 min allotted time for dining. The spread was phenomenal!! The ambiance was on point with soft Cuban music playing. The restaurant is large and spacious so you don't feel crowded. I had previously dined for dinner and had the Rabo Encendido (braised beef oxtail) and it was tender, juicy and my favorite! I recommend this restaurant.

The food was good. I enjoyed it. Although our server was very sweet and helpful, the overall service, bar etc, was slow and sporadic. My husband required a ramp so they put us in a room accessed by one but they sat us adjacent to it so that every time someone entered the room they were skirting the table. Seems as though they had too many events going at once. When we left the valet couldn't find my keys. Turned out they were left in my car. That wasn't very reassuring. Not sure I'd be back.

There was roaches crawling around and they didn't care at all. Guess they still expected us to enjoy the food.

I found this restaurant randomly, me and my friend were going to the Pomona fair! But I was starving and I turned my head around and I saw that restaurant. And what a great experience, love the food and drinks! Don't ask me to posted a picture of my food because I didn't have time to do it. I was enjoying my delicious meal. I totally recommend this restaurant. And at the end we didn't make it to the Pomona fair
