Koko's Restaurant Seattle

I’ve been to this place several times, and it never disappoints, the food, the atmosphere, the drinks, and most of all, the outstanding service. Enrique always goes the extra mile and makes you feel truly welcome. Definitely my favorite spot to enjoy with friends or family. Extra tip: on Friday nights, the live DJ makes it the perfect way to kick off the weekend.

Definitely go to their Happy Hour! It’s $10 margaritas and mojitos and the food is also delicious. We had the mini empanadas (carnitas), chips and salsa, and churros from the Happy Hour Menu. Then we had the fish tacos and the shrimp tacos. Everything was delicious!

Food presentation was great and service was somewhat friendly but the food itself lacked flavor in my opinion and also was barely warm. Wouldn’t really come here again. The non alcoholic margarita was the best thing I had.

Vibes and decorations are lovely. Felt like we were on a tropical vacation. Not to mention how beautiful and tasty the drinks were. Our server, Angel, was very sweet and had amazing recommendations for food and drinks. He checked in on us frequently, and even brought out this delicious tasting hot sauce for my burrito. The Koko’s burrito was soooo good. I dreamt of it last night. Would definitely visit again with some friends or as a nice date spot.

I stumbled across this trendy restaurant and bar, and it did not disappoint! We had two spicy margaritas and the fish tacos, and honestly, they might have been the best fish tacos I’ve ever had. The drinks were absolutely on point, and the ambiance was perfect—chill, stylish, and welcoming. I definitely recommend checking this place out if you’re looking for a fun spot with amazing food and drinks!

Loved loved loved the experience and we are so going back. The servers were very friendly and took good care, we were promptly seated. The food was so tasty. We got chicken, vegetarian and seafood options. Though vegetarian was very limited. Just had vegetable quesadillas and cauliflower tacos I think. Starters were great, a bit on the smaller sized portions but very tasty. Loved the drinks. For two adults we paid $140 for the meal.

I wish I took pictures but I love Koko’s!! The decor is amazing, I feel like I’m in Puerto Vallarta/Mexico. The drink book is so thoughtful and unique. Their food is so good, I recommend their benedict if you get a chance.

We found this place on Google Maps and with a 4.7 we had to try it, and we are glad we did. Great space and atmosphere. The margs were perfect and our bestie had a 10 oz Cosmo, twice, and said it was perfect. The food is not normal Mexican. It is recipe’s from Mom that are all fantastic. Have fun and make a res first!!

Walking in to Koko's felt like a dream. I loved the ambiance of the warm colored lights and flowers. Come here at night to see the beautiful warm lighting at the greatest scale. The servers were quick to seat us and our server was very kind and suggested great things to order. This menu is a great Hispanic food find for vegetarian and vegans, which is often tough to find. We ended up getting a bunch of things to try. First, we ordered the chips and salsa. It came super fast and the salsa was super yummy with good lime flavor, the guacamole was average in my opinion and the chips were great. Then we got the paradise mocktail and it had a deep citrus taste. It was also very cute and made for a cute photo. For mains, we got the cheese empanadas. They were super crispy and a perfect cozy food. We also got the cashew green chili enchiladas and they were my absolute favorite and must order. I added the shrimp to them and they were such a good add on. The sauce is so creamy and a perfect amount of spice. Also the presentation is gorgeous. I also got 3 meals worth of leftovers so although the price is steep it felt worth it! Try this out for a cute girls night out or date night!

Well well we'll a place that brought us straight back to fine dining in Mexico city. Although it's founders are Mexican and Salvadorean my off the bat response was Yucatan cuisine with the fruit forward items. The menu as I read it was innovative stuff blended with must haves for the commoners to keep the lights on and not get panned by the uncouth. That being said we went for what stood out the seafood. The halibut was divine. The white sauce, corn, and vegetables were plated perfectly. The habanero shrimp app had that sour/sweet tamarind going for it but as another mentioned wasn't too spicy. But spicy is subjective a level 5 for one is level 10 for another. Al pastor fish tacos was a delight. To say their menu is taco time says more about the reviewer than the reviewed, IMHO. Don't see al pastor fish tacos on taco times menu. And don't sleep on taco time. Their fish tacos do stack up against some great ones in San Diego where the best fish tacos in the US are located. The ambience is great! We didn't experience the DJ so can't say if it was too loud. Modern yet warm. Service was on point. Drinks were agave focused and hit the mark. Bottom line is fine dining in the wonderful city struggles, for many reasons, and at the end of the day businesses have to make rent, pay salaries, and turn a profit. In a culture that historically hasn't valued ethnic fine dining and or fails to appreciate the MUCH broader cuisine a culture has to offer. That's changing though. Very excited to see what this place does

We had a reservation for a party of 3 on a weekend at 6:30 PM. Parking was a bit of a hassle, so I'd recommend not driving if you can avoid it. We ended up waiting about 15 minutes to be seated, even with a reservation. I ordered the fish tacos, while my friends went for the enchiladas and wet burrito. The server was great--very friendly and checked on us consistently throughout the night. As for the food, the fish tacos were decent. They tasted good, but there was barely any fish in them, so I didn't get to enjoy the fish as much as I had hoped. My friends seemed satisfied with their meals, but none of us thought it was anything extraordinary. The ambiance inside was really nice, though. It's a great spot for casual drinks and food, especially on a night out. I'm not sure if I'd return, but if the food improved, I'd definitely consider it. Otherwise, the service and vibe are top-notch.

The food wasn't anything spectacular. The inside is pretty nice, it looks like somewhere Love Island would be filmed. I came here for a birthday brunch and made a reservation online for 7. The brunch food was all pretty expensive and very small portions. They did ask if we were celebrating a special occasion, but then said they couldn't do a complimentary dessert per their policy. Which I thought was really weird, especially considering we spent like $400 there. I don't think I'd come back. Service was nice though.

GORGEOUS! From the drinks to the ambiance, the interior of the restaurant was giving Caribbean tropical vacation vibes. I went with a group of friends on a Friday night, and we thought there was a happy hour menu but there wasn't. Either way we all ended up getting one of their signature cocktails. The drink menu was very artistic, there was a drawing of each of the cocktails that they had. It was a bit on the pricey side, but it was very big. I would definitely recommend for a date night or just a causal day drink place.

Came here for my friend's birthday, and it was amazing--20/10! The food was incredibly fresh, flavorful, and delicious. The staff was super friendly, and the aesthetics of this place were top-notch. I'll definitely be coming back! The cocktails were also fantastic (tried my friends!). It's on the pricier side, but worth every penny. Our meal (carne asada and fish tacos, no alcohol) came to $75, including a 20% tip and taxes. Totally worth it for the quality and experience!

I've had a large group dinner, several smaller group (3-5 people lunches) and dinners. It's a fabulous restaurant with amazing drinks, fresh food (even the tortillas are fabulous), vegan options (I'm vegan). The food is beautifully plated and deliciously prepared. The service is great also. I love a slightly spicy drink and their jalapeño margarita is phenomenal! I highly recommend you try this restaurant is you haven't been. I live in Las Vegas but make it a point to dine at Koko's whenever I visit Seattle.

This place is bomb. 5/5. I almost came here twice. Service is also amazing. They make you feel right at home and the servers are very friendly. Amazing, will get again 1. The chips and the dips 4/5 Not that spicy, but I might have a high tolerance. 2. Green poblano enchiladas 5/5. These were heavenly. They were made using a cashew sauce. Every bite made me crave more. 3. Chicken tacos with rice/beans 4/5 Really soft rice and good beans. Unfortunately, I was not a big fan of the corn which was a little too saucy but everything else was really good.

We went on Valentine's Day and the ambiance was amazing! We are vegetarian and we're just able to get both the enchiladas w veggies and it was pretty good. The plates and drinks were very pretty. Fast service too

Ambiance was cool! It is trendy, upscale, and exotic. The music is clubby but not too loud. I wanted to look around at all the decorations! Overall, the food was great! After an order of chips and guacamole as an appetizer, I was feeling full halfway through my enchiladas but they were so good I had to finish them! This restaurant would be a 5 star based on the food alone. The guacamole was super fresh and the enchiladas had great flavor. What reduced a star for me was the service. We got drinks and water shortly after being seated. We were ready for another round of drinks and water by the time our entreé came following the chips and guac. Unfortunately, our waiter did not come around for another round until after we were both nearly finished our meal. More service is better than less and this place offered less, unfortunately. The drinks themselves were a little lacking too. The seemed watered down a bit? And some drinks were hard to tell if they came with tequila or mezcal by the menu. I do want to come back and try more though. The experience ended with suprise, free churros, which were a real treat! The chocolate sauce tasted like Tootsie Rolls and the churros were creme filled. Again, the food is the real prize. I would be willing to give this place a try again and would recommend but I hope the service is more attentive to really give it a 5 out of 5.

What we ordered: Cocktails, Shrimp Ceviche, Seafood Pasta, & Parrillada For Two that Includes Dessert: Churros or Flan, we chose the churros! ⁣ This is located in Captiol Hill of Seattle. It was delicious modern latin food and it was the perfect spot for our girls night. This was a beautiful restaurant and the vibes were everything. It felt like you were on vacation! I loved the parrillada platter, there were different proteins on it with other sides that you can use to make your own mini tacos. The churros were also included in the parrillada platter and it came in this cute car. The churros were hot, crispy, and delicious! Check them out if you're in the area, I recommend making a reservation. I just wished we had a bigger table but the service was great!

Had such a good time at Koko's the other week. This place is very trendy & feels like you're being transported to Tulum. The service & the food overall was great too. Started with the salsa and guac and had the green enchiladas as my main. This dish is made with a cashew sauce that is to die for - highly recommend. Also had the Mexican corn, which was fine but not my favorite dish. I wish it was a little less liquidy. Great spot to dine with friends!

Sometimes the contemporary Mexican concept has me skeptical but this spot knocked it out of the park. Beautiful drink menus and well-crafted drinks. Unique and delicious menu items. Love the fresh handmade tortillas. Poblano Enchiladas ($26 + $5 for steak) - So unique, the poblano and cashew sauce is creamy and delicate. Loved the blue corn tortillas. Carne Asada Plate ($38) - Came with an impressive amount of protein, the meat was flavorful and perfect with the toothsome handmade tortillas. BF said the margarita ($14) was excellent - he is picky with his margs too so you know it's good! Atmosphere is bustling and fun - booming Latin music. Not good for intimate conversations though, lol. The staff is wonderful.

Food is AMAZING, same with the drinks the host was great and super friendly so service overall was great! It was fairly quiet which made it nice to sit and enjoy the ambience (10/10) while it snowed. It was a nice few hours of pretending we were somewhere warmer. My only slight complaint is a couple of our orders were incorrect but delicious nonetheless.

We tried this restaurant last night without a reservation. While waiting for our table, we ordered two drinks, and they were outstanding--not only delicious but also beautifully presented. For the main course, we had the chicken quesadillas and carne asada pupusas. The quesadillas were incredibly tasty and flavorful, but the pupusas were just okay. It might be because it was our first time trying them, and they just didn't suit our taste. Overall, a nice experience with some standout moments.

If you're on the hunt for tasty cocktails and yummy food, Koko's is a must-try! We stopped here for cocktails and appetizers on my birthday and were amazed by the beautiful interior and friendly staff. From the happy hour menu, I highly recommend the cocktails, platanitos, and churros. I'll definitely be back to try out the full menu soon!

Found this new Mexican spot in Capitol Hill. The ambience here is truly one-of-a-kind, setting it apart from other restaurants in Seattle. Our server was exceptional--she provided us with fantastic recommendations and was incredibly attentive and warm throughout our visit. We got guacamole and chips, salsa trio, chicken empanada, Poblano enchiladas, and tuna tartare. Every dish was a flavor sensation. Their cocktail list is impressive, and they can make most of them into mocktails, which is a fantastic option. I cannot recommend this place highly enough and eagerly anticipate my next visit.

Guac had the sticker from the avocado and they didn't even offer to revive it from the bill. Food is literally like Taco Time but absurdly expensive. $45 for carne asada, rice, and beans? Terrible service. DJ starts at 8 and is insanely loud. Go to El Fogon down the street or pretty much any other Mexican in town over this place.

Koko's was okay overall. We went for happy hour on a Friday and were seated immediately, which was nice. Happy hour runs from 3-6 PM, but you do have to purchase a drink to get the discounted food. We ordered two mocktails--the passion fruit and dragonfruit mojitos--which were both refreshing and delicious. For food, we tried the El Jefe carnitas tacos, mini empanadas with chicken, and the tamarind habanero shrimp. The tacos were just alright, nothing special, and the shrimp didn't have much of a habanero kick. The empanadas, though, were definitely the standout. Service was great; they checked in on us multiple times. The ambiance was nice and moody, making it a good spot to relax. I'd come back again to try more happy hour items!

The food was great! I went for lunch happy hour and I got the Taco, Enchilada, combo. It came with rice and beans for $14. The regular entree prices are on the pricier side, but the food is great! Recommend coming for drinks. The atmosphere is amazing and so fun

Overall a pretty good place to enjoy the vibe and upscale Mexican food. The service was great and food was good too. The enchiladas and empanadas were decent while the cauliflower tacos were amazing. Will go there again for the vibes.

KoKo's is such a vibe and I love the quiet, intimate ambiance inside. The food was amazing and honestly so fairly priced. Our server Raffy was amazing and had the best recommendations and was extremely accommodating to our slightly rowdy group for a birthday dinner. If you come here ask for him!

Food was excellent and they were able to offer vegetarian versions of many things. The drink was good and the ambiance was really cool. Very chic, modern, and intimate vibes. The service was very very slow but they were very friendly to try to make up for the understaffing. Would definitely come back!

We came for brunch and the food was good! I like the eggs Benedict but I wish there was more added to the plate. I also came for dinner and it was sooo good! I do recommend doing reservations for dinner. If you want good food,drinks and a good time I definitely recommend coming here.

Great food and drinks! Service was fast and friendly. The decoration is beautiful and the detail on the cleanliness is much appreciated. Will definitely recommend and will be back.

A vibe I wasn't expecting. I thought this would be a relaxed atmosphere but it's more of a bar, which was great for us! I loved the plantains but the quesadillas were not my taste. Our server was really nice and gave us great suggestions for food and drinks. Try the mocktails, you won't be disappointed!

If you want a place to take Instagram pictures with cute looking drinks, this is the place. If you want a place with good food, this is not the place. Drinks seemed like they all were made with store bought mixes and wayyyy too sweet. Also very overpriced. Average drink price was $20. Food was mid and overpriced. My friend's tacos were very dry and when they mentioned to the sever, the sever brought the tacos to the chef to try??? The chef said they were too dry and comped the food. Which is nice, but like they didn't trust my friend and had to get the chef to approve the comp? Wait staff was not very friendly. But hopefully with the amount they are charging for food, the staff is paid well?

Arrived a little after 9pm- Yeah When I say this place is a VIBE.. I mean it with my soul! Upon entering, the staff was friendly and very knowand took down my information to reserve my table. I was assured it would be a few minutes, and indeed, it was wild, waiting. The host, continued to communicate on the progress of the table. We needed a table for 4. We were promptly attended to and greeted by our server. I ordered a traditional Mexican drink, called the Paloma and they are not stingy with their alcohol ! They brought us chips and salsa that were so good. We had to ask for seconds. Food came out in a timely manner. All staff from the hostess, our server the busing staff were all so friendly! Entire restaurant was filled with trending music, the lighting was perfect, the decor was on point. Definitely coming back again. *Critiques - *It took a little while for the server to come and take our order. (Understandably it was a little busy) * it took a little while for our server to collect our payment. (Again understandably it was busy) * parking was a little difficult, There are a lot of late night eateries in bars along the same street . * not so much a critique, but just for the information the bathroom is outside of the restaurant near the hostess area. You have to go downstairs to what I believe may be a shared bathroom with other businesses..

Very welcoming of our family- which is always something special to me when experienced at restaurants. Their attention to detail is evident from the decorating to the music to the frozen flowers within the margarita ice. The beans and rice are incredible, as were the burritos and the tacos.

As soon as you walk in you are transported to Tulum, and I have been there so I can tell you it really feels like you are there. The waiter was super nice and attentive. The food was super yummy. Loved the shrimp appetizer. The mojito was to die for tons of FRESH mint! The gauc and salsa with chips wasn't the best I've ever had but it was still yummy. The Ahi tuna tacos were good too. We also had a side of rice and beans and it was probably the best rice and beans I've ever had lol. Definitely would go back to try other things.

I love the vibe and decor of this place. I've gone twice in the past couple of weeks and it's very busy on Saturday nights, so make a reservation. This is the place to be. The food is very good. I appreciate that they have vegan and gluten free options. I got the vegan Mexican enchiladas. They were so good. The chips and salsa are excellent. The staff are super nice. I highly recommend this place. It's good for groups, date night and celebrations.

Great place to get drinks and Mexican food. The place is quite large and has a nice ambience. The music is a little loud. The staff was friendly. I'll come back.

Koko's is a work in progress with a lot of potential. The staff are friendly and upbeat and I liked a few things we ordered. We weren't sure if we'd accidentally stumbled into a club when we walked in! The music was loud and thumping at 5:30pm on a Friday night and they sat us at a large, round booth. We were promptly greeted by a server. The guacamole was generously portioned and flavorful. The shrimp ceviche missed the mark unfortunately and the Mexican enchiladas were too dry for my taste. Everything is quite pricey for what you get. One of our dining companions ordered the poblano cashew enchiladas and said they were wonderful.

Food was pretty good, decent portions, nothing magical. Service was alright, not a very enthusiastic attitude but was overall nice and attentive. Ambiance was great, 10/10. Loved the decor and vibes of the restaurant.

This was my wife and I's first time to Koko's. Actually it was our first time in Seattle! We went there on our honeymoon (yes we know it's a weird place for a honeymoon but we had our reasons haha). We wanted good Mexican food and saw good reviews online, so we figured we'd check it out. Everything was amazing! We sat up at the bar where Moncé took care of us. She made the experience 5 star. The chips and salsa, drinks, and the food was so good. The presentation of each was perfect. Moncé gave us the right amount of space while providing excellent service. She surprised us with a little dessert in the end to congratulate us, and we thought that was so sweet. We recommend checking this place out and letting Moncé take care you!

Surprisingly, the rice and beans were really good. The tacos were $19 for two..that was a slap. On top of that it was meh. Meat was a little dry for me. Tacos Chukis' tacos were way better. I wouldn't order tacos from here again until they change it to 3 tacos. The service was amazing and staff was friendly. The ambiance made you feel like you were on vacation. It was relaxing and the staff dressed that way as well. The place is clean and lots of natural light coming in. Guacamole was $12 and the bottle of coke was $4 to give you an insight price wise. Btw the guacamole is plate thing is only half full. The bottom half of it is solid black they just opened about 2 weeks ago. I'd personally stick to Fogon unless I want to relax and not care too much about food.

Koko's is an absolute must!! I was visiting my good friends and they brought me to dinner here and everything was AMAZING!! From the moment we walked in the hostess greeted us and it was such a warm welcome. Then Gibran came to our table to say Hi and introduced Alexi (partner). I honestly felt like family, which is such a rare feeling these days at restaurants. If I was in Seattle I would probably be here every week lol. Besides the amazing food and customer service, the restaurant's atmosphere is such a vibe! The next time I come I will definitely request the window seat :) I already told my friends that every time I come to visit, they will be bringing back..... mmmmkay!

Great spot, it might be new but it doesn't seem like it. The music is loud, so don't plan on any serious conversations.

Went for happy hour, our experience was terrible. Our server Edith was extremely rude and dry throughout our whole dining experience. She was on her phone the whole time while taking our order and took 15 minutes to give our check back because she was talking to coworkers. And was overall rude and judgmental. Will NOT be recommending this restaurant due to the service we received from Edith and will not be coming back. Do better!!!

Wow! What a great restaurant! When we first walked in we immediately forgot about the rain. The ambiance was great, the decor, lighting, music, and the real plants, felt like we were on vacation. We were first greeted by the friendly staff who sat us in the booth. Jonsi served our table, and did a wonderful job making us feel at home, attentive, and always checking in on us. We all started with drinks, very tasty margaritas and mojitos (large glasses which is always a plus). Followed by chips, salsa, and guacamole which are all made fresh in house. The chips were crunchy and warm! All of the food was delicious! For apps we ordered the chicken empanadas, and shrimp ceviche. I ordered the prawn tacos which were crunchy as well (served as two tacos) this came with a side of rice and black refried beans. My friends ordered the Salvadorian enchiladas, chicken quesadilla, and burrito gordo. All large portions and worth it! Not one bad dish on the table, we are definitely going back and can't wait to try the other dishes!

Friendly staff. The habanero shrimp was really good. Pricey but it's seattle , everything is pricey. My wife ordered a pasta with seafood and she really liked it. I ordered the pupusa and the center of it was raw. I thought it was just the cheese but after i ate half of the pupusa my wife tried it and said it was , so i didnt finish it.

Taste: 5/5 Value: 4/5 Presentation: 5/5 Service: 5/5 Ambiance: 5/5 Carnitas benedict are a must try! Another semi pricey spanish restaurant in cap hill. Will definitely be back for the fun cocktails though!

Hands down one of my favorite restaurants in Seattle. The food is excellent, met the nicest server ever (Shoutout Jonathan!- GIVE HIM A RAISEEEEE!!!!!) who made this place such a freaking vibe! Also the bartenders were exceptional, leaving me astounded. Love this place. As far as food goes, I cannot stress how well made the food here is. The chips and guac were fresh, and I could eat the Mexican enchiladas forever! Took my friends here and they loved it here, feels like you're really in a tropical fever dream

Ambiance: 10/10 Service: 10/10 Food: 9/10 My favorite was the coconut flan! Creamy thick texture with the mint, strawberry/blueberry paired great with the coconut flakes. Poblano enchilada was delicious! The chicken was flavorful and rich sauce which complimented well with the corn and pickled onions. My boyfriend would ve like it more if it had more spice. Maybe ask for hot sauce if you wanted some spiciness to it. Tuna shrimp ceviche tartare was very refreshing and light! I enjoyed the soy and vinegar acidic flavor with the tuna and shrimp on the warm, crispy tostada!

Todo es increíble ambiente comida drinks !!!! Servicio 10 de 10, salvadorean enchilada es fire !!!!!!

Since moving from California, I've been looking for a place with good margaritas, and I'm so impressed by their selections of drinks! It was really good. I ordered the taco plate and that was fantastic. It's kind of hard to find really good Mexican food in Washington, so I was so happy to find this place. My fiancée also loves burritos, and he still is bragging about it today. Everyone was super friendly, we asked someone for help with drinks and you can tell they weren't a server, but took their time to help us and wrote on their hand what we needed. Super sweet! The place is definitely lit. We went on a weekend around 7pm so it was pretty loud and lively. Nothing wrong with that. It was fun.

I honestly don't understand the 5-star reviews. I know a lot of my friends are friends with the owner and want to support their business BUT its just not good. Service is the absolute worst. I've been there twice and they have forgotten food/drink orders both times. On my recent visit, the waitress came up to us 20 mins after we placed our order (which took another 20 mins) asking to verify what we ordered, does that mean she didn't put in the order? Why would you verify it after you put in the order... really didn't make any sense (we all guessed she hadn't put it in yet). I ordered the huevos con chorizo for brunch which is like making your own breakfast tacos but they only give you sour cream. At least provide salsa or at a minimum hot sauce.... but don't even get me started on the "hot sauce". they only have their house made "hot sauce" and I have never had the most blandest hot sauce ever. It was only spicy, no flavor. Maybe hoping for some seasoning, vinegar, etc.... just heat. we all tried it and found it so weird. the black beans and fried bananas were good at least? everything we thought needed some sort of seasoning on the food. even salt and pepper would of been great. Drinks... if you are going to be paying a premium at least it should taste good. I will say the ambiance is very nice. but thats about all they got. to my friends.... please don't ask me to come with you to Koko's.... i'll meet up with you afterwards

Food, Service, Ambience. 5 stars for all 3. Brunch menu is incredible and drinks are delish. Presentation is perfect. PERFECT!!! Let's make this place the hot spot for brunch! The decor is light and fun. Great way to dine. Be careful of the Mexican corn...it's addictive.

Beautiful restaurant with great service. The food was delicious and the drinks were good (I got a margarita which is almost always great). The prices are a bit steep but there's definitely a variety when it comes to how much you want to spend on a meal. The veggie poblano enchiladas were incredible, and the ceviche we ordered was super fresh and flavorful. Would definitely return here!
