Los Cocos Restaurant

Went here for brunch, shrimp salad was good. A little bit salty to me but overall, the salad was beyond than my expectation. The service was friendly and family vibe, very attentive and supportive; everyone helped me double-check my food restriction. Omelette breakfast was okay, I am not a fan. Maybe will come back to check other dishes if I am around that area again.

Went with my family, excellent service and authentic delish food; would recommend and return!

Been to this establishment a few time. The last time I ordered the pork chop plate. Unfortunately as I started eating one of the pork chops there was still blood in the bone and on the outer edges of the bone. I really enjoy this place and hope this is a one off occurrence. I nuked the plate and issues was solved. But, still. The staff is always very friendly.

Houston best kept secret MENUDO with hunks of Tripe and flavorful broth

Worse mexican food in Houston. So over price for the food received and poor customer service. I got the caldo de res. I was unable to find the meat on it. The price online are not the same. I would not mind to pay extra for good and tasty food... but man, the rude cashier was just the first red flag. The tacos were ok. But the caldo was like they put a can of vegetables in beef soup and they forgot to add the meat. I will give them 0 stars

Caldo de res...so good! Altought I have to say they run out of a lot of their items on the menu early and they don't make more. It is not good for their business. We stopped coming bc of that. They don't have anything by 3 pm on a Sunday! It would be nice if they had a little extra on weekends.

Y'ALL.. these are the most authentic, legit tamales I've had since moving to Texas from Chicago 2 and 1/2 years ago. they are BIG, not too greasy and the carne to masa ratio is perfect. although I prefer my tamales a little spicier due to my upbringing, these are perfectly spicy enough to make your nose run a little tiny bit without sacrificing any flavor. perfect for any beginner tamale eaters out there. they only make chile rojo for their tamales, with chicken and pork offerings BUT you won't even care that there isn't chile verde after trying these. the champurrado is what nostalgiais made of, taking me back to cold winter days in Chicago, waiting for the bus to get to school. it is perfectly sweet and thick, just like your abuelita usted to make. I'm definitely in love with this place, I can't wait to try out the rest of their menu, ESPECIALLY the mole. if the tamales and champurrado are any indicator, they're going to knock that out of the park as well. I noticed upon my visits that they do offer karaokethat they do offer karaoke on the weekends, that sounds fun!

Haven't had food like this in a while. Authentic Mexican food. Start of with a small bowl of soup & some chips with salsa. Fallowed by your choice of plate. The taste is like no other. Will be returning here again.

I had lady named Maria take my order and let me just tell you write it down and just hand it over it was way to complicated and I couldn't understand anything she said she was extremely rude and even when other lady came to help the situation Maira stood back and gave me I want to hurt you eyes arms crossed so angry talking mess ended up leaving so I can't tell you about the food hopefully they train her on how to deal with customers

You call and they don't answer the phone .. so what's the point of having the business open

If you're looking for an authentic Mexican restaurant in Houston, this is the place! It's in a super small complex of businesses but has so much potential. This place is beautifully decorated with Hispanic history, culture and memorabilia. The service was fantastic and had that great southern hospitality. Fish was 10/10! Would definitely go back.

The food was delicious! Was working on a job nearby and almost didnt stop by because I saw a review on the price. The quesabirías were amazing ! Would highly recommend. Will be coming back when I'm on this side of town. The service was also very accommodating..

I got the watermelon margarita it was absolutely delicious!!! I also got the chicken shrimp and steak fajita hot plate. So good! The service was good too, it wasn't crowded... anyway, I would definitely go back!

I was in the area and wanted Mexican food. I did not want the 'Houston Standard' also known as Pappasito's. I found I wasn't far from this restaurant. It's a family-owned restaurant and you are treated like family when you walk I. There was a large grounds crew eating lunch when I arrived, so I knew the good had to be good. The chips and salsa were good (make sure to ask for the verde also because they only usually bring rojo sauce), but after speaking with the owner, I learned the food is from the 'Puebla region' of Mexico so a little different from our standard TexMex--just what I was looking for! I ordered the beef enchiladas and they came with this diabolical looking red sauce and were baked with a sort of different white cheese (not as runny and greasy as you'd normally see). Lucky for me, the sauce wasn't nearly as spicy as it looked (a little ... sweet even) and I enjoyed them. The enchiladas were fresh and the meat was seasoned well. On top were three rings of raw onions. I thought that was an odd combination, but I tried it and it ... worked. The rice was good and so were the refried beans. I had a huge Jamaica to wash it down If in the area again, I would go back. Super nice and good food.

Well it good but they have jacked up the prices and everyone knows how cheap it is to make Mexican food so wow you are too high fir the taste bye

I had the mole enchiladas and my son had the beef quesadillas, both were really good. I liked the champurrado here because they don't use milk. I love champurrado but usually can't have any because of the milk. I am definitely returning to this establishment to try other things on the menu. Staff were nice and welcoming. The restaurant was clean, the only thing that bothered me a little bit was the music, it was a tad loud for me, but I'm just old and prefer quiet.

This restaurant was very clean and nicely decorated. I ordered the beef fajita taco plate with charro beans.The beans were probably one of the best I've ever eaten and the rest of the food was Just as delicious. The green sauce was nice and spicy and I could drink the red salsa it was so good. The server was nice and attentive. I will definitely be back!!!

Great food. Great place Nice ambiance Great place for a family outing Service was awesome

If you can't eat meat on Friday's or if you're craving enchiladas, then come check this place out. This place is a mom and pop place, not to be confused with Los Cucos. Don't let the exterior scare you away. Their restaurant is in a small shopping area and features the best cheese enchiladas in town bar none. Old phrase (look it up kids). If you can name a place that's better, please share. I mean, look at that cheesy goodness. The portions are big and is a great bang for the buck. The refried beans have a smokey flavor and are well blended, while the rice is light and fluffy. Everything is delicious. You really can't go wrong. If you are on this side of town, it's a must try.

I order to go food for a friend and I and the food was bland with no flavor. She got the chicken quesadilla and it came soggy and the guacamole was black. I order the parrillada for 1 , the shrimp were dry and the other meat had no flavor. They did have hand made tortillas. But the parrillada came with no fixings like sour cream lettuce , guac and no salsa! Very disappointing. I came based on reviews and did not match.

I order the same meal, chicken flautas, everytime to-go and occasionally the pork tamales. All of it is delicious!!! The guacamole and pico de gallo is freshly made. The refried beans and rice have a nice flavor. And I love the spicy green sauce they give. I ordered the flan once and it was nice. First time trying it so I had no expectations. Not super sweet, which I prefer. Highly recommend visiting this restaurant.

I would like to start this review by saying that the food is really tasty. The only reason I stopped going was because of the prices. I felt it was too expensive. Even though I like the taste, because of the price I go down the street instead and pay less for the same food.

I had nooo idea of this place until one day we were down the street super hungry but were craving Mexican food! In this area there isn't a lot of variety when it comes to restaurants, mainly fast food places. OMG I absolutely enjoyed this food!! The food was soo authentic and made fast with a perfect presentation just as shown in their pics! I will definitely keep coming back here again.

The menudo was so amazing and my husband is very picky. I also ordered the quesadilla de pastor was also the best I ever had. Definitely will be ordering again.

Had this food when I was sick and it's a constant craving! The enchiladas verdes is so good. It's shredded chicken in a spicy green sauce. Their rice is sooooo good. Refried beans were a bit runny, but still really good. Can't wait to go again. Service is quick as well. Not even 5 minutes.

Tortillas freshly cooked light, not a trace of grease. The two choices for a dip were very good. Orchata (drink) freshly home made and 12 on a scale of 10. The tamales were excellent. I opted for the Chili Relleno was excellent and actually had a bite to it. The black beans were well cooked and very tasty. The rice was good. Pat opted for the hamburger and said it rated in his top 10. Rocco had the enchilada which was excellent. Everything was fresh and well cooked and reasonably priced.

[warning: rave review] This is the best spot I've been to in Houston!! I went here twice the same day I discovered it -- slightly embarrassing. For breakfast I got their omelette that came with many wonderful accouterments. I got out for under $10 for nothing short of a feast. In the evening, I tried their homemade molè. It was wonderful and so reasonably priced. Eating here felt like I was visiting someone's house. Everyone was really friendly, especially the Chef, Francisco!

When I come down to visit my family. This is one of my "let's go get breakfast" places. Food is made with a touch of Puebla and has never disappointed.

They should be ashamed of selling this overpriced food. I tried the beef soup. I attached the pictures of what I received. Yes! They just opened a can of vegetables and call it beef soup. The first red flag was the cashier with attitude and then that she charged more of what was described online. This should be the worse mexican restaurant in Houston.

Got the 2 fajita gorditas paid 4 for each and they couldn't even put meat in them smh over priced and not even giving you enough food

the lady didn't want to tell me the cost of the food and she had already put in the order and she stole a dollar from me saying I only paid 10 when I paid 11 but ai counted it before I gave her the money

Cute little hidden gem this restaurant is! The lady who served us was very nice and welcoming! She brought everything out fast and everything tasted really good! I'm glad we stopped by and can't wait to try again. At first we weren't sure about the soup she brought out with the chips and salsa but it was delish. My husband is very picky and he loves the tamales! We will be coming back!

Everything was spot on! Full of flavor, not greasy. Micheladas are on point! We loved the soup that is served with the chips and salsa. Completely authentic!

This small family owned restaurant is quiet and quaint but has so much life and history as well as warmth and love that just jump at you in each plate you try. This is true Mexican handmade grandma's home cooking. I've been here many times and love trying the daily specials. The Friday special is definitely my favorite: mole de torta. They have the most amazing authentic mole poblano. They have other options like salads, quesadillas (highly recommend al pastor), tamales (amazing!!), seafood and lots more.

Excellent. I was working close by . Nice and clean place with excellent authentic Mexican food that doesn't use lard (pig fat). They served complimentary chips and salsas and soup. Excellent food and extremely reasonably priced, it's like wow. I recommend tip generously as the whole staff is very courteous and work hard to please you.

Yummy little hole-in-the-wall spot with heart. The services was good and the ambiance chill and quiet. The food has heart and authenticity typical of Mexican food. I was happily surprised to find nopales in my vegetarian burrito. It gave it a lot more depth and substance than the boring unflavored Tex mex of lettuce, tomato, onion mixture found in other places. Guacamole was freshly homemade. We ordered and received service in Spanish, but the whole menu is written in Spanish and English (so Texas). Definitely worth a visit.

This is by far my favorite authentic Mexican restaurant. The chips and salsa are very good and the complimentary soup is delicious. This has became one of my to go to mexican restaurant so I have tried many dishes. Here a few must tries.... Omelets, Green Enchiladas, Cecina meat plate, Picaditas, Tamales, chicken Mole plus all the daily specials are amazingly good. Corn tortillas are freshly made and the strawberry cheesecake is a must try.

The service is excellent and the whole fried fish is very good . The quesadilla. Chicken is excellent . I also had the tamales and taco everything is very excellent so far

Wow! This place is great!! I had an Omelete Mexicano which was to die for, substituted beans for Spanish rice. Our waitress was very sweet. Not that far from my house so we decided to try it and we thoroughly enjoyed it, pleasant surprise! Give this place a try, you won't regret it.

The Waitress was not that Good. Maybe she was New or Nervous, but she forgot alot of things, it was only 4 tables at that time.We ordered fajita for two we received rice,Tortilla but no beans :/ Fajitas wasn't that Juicy. IT was A OK. This is a Good Restaurant if you want cheap Mex Food. I will come again to try something Different, cause this restaurant is down the street from my job.

TBH we probably did not order the best choices they had but we were just craving them. We ordered the nachos and chicken quesadillas. They were very basic. Nothing special about quesadillas. Nachos were mostly beans and some meat and cheese; it could have used more more toppings or chile con queso. When we came, we had complimentary soup which was a nice thought but it was like tomato water. Also was not a fan of the salsa. They were really nice and had good service. I'd give it another chance and order something else.

This is not tex mex which is what I was looking for. Friendly service but just not what I was expecting. We ordered a grilled dish with a variety of meats. My boyfriend didn't have any complaints. The chicken I tasted was pretty good but I was put off by the store bought tortillas. I'm used to eating homemade tortillas when I go to a restaurant, especially if its authentic Mexican food. I ordered chicken enchiladas but received beef so my boyfriend got to both of our plates and I ate off his grilled platter. The salsas taste nothing like the kind you get at a tex mex joint. I didn't like either and decided to make nachos with the chips, fajita meat, rice and beans from our dishes. We made the best of it but probably wouldn't go back.

The food is AMAZING. it is authentic Mexican food. The staff is super nice. sometimes there is a small language barrier if you do not speak Spanish but you won't have a problem ordering what you want. the chicken enchiladas verdes were packed with flavor and super filling. minus one star as serve can be slightly slow. the 2 times i went there was only one waitress. Also the Horchata taste store bought. it was not good at all. everything else is great!

Awesome and traditional Mexico dishes all the way from Puebla Mexico. Want to try real authentic Mexican food I recommend eating here.

I was a little skeptical of the restaurant at first just because i'm new to the area and know nothing of the Mexican food quality. I ended up having the Al pastor quesadilla and wife had fajuta quesadilla delicious . The salsas are on point with traditional Mexican grandma quality. Will be going back to try more of the menu.

The red salsa with the chips is sooo good, and i don't even care for salsa. Yesterday i had the enchiladas verdes. Plenty of chicken and had a kick to it. Today i had a sope de fajita and the fajita was so tender. Sope was more than enough, not a small portion at all. I'll be back for the chilaquiles in the AM.

The food isn't bad, but its not great either. Its..passable I guess. The pictures of the food look tastier than the food itself. I had the enchiladas verdes with chicken....I was just majorly disappointed.

Nice little Mexican family restaurant. The food was great, like home cooked. They have a few Tex Mex dishes on the menu, such as burritos, but they mainly serve authentic Mexican food. Delicious tamales and mole negro. Table service was a little slow.

It didn't taste authentic at all. Very disappointed with my enchiladas. Good tamales.

When I first moved to Houston I was on the hunt for authentic tamales. I tried several restaurants in the Greater Houston area and was fortunate to find this little hole in the wall, Los Cocos Restaurant. I came in with my family on a Thursday afternoon and was immediately greeted by a friendly hostess, which was very welcoming, but we were sad to see we missed karaoke as it's only on Friday and Saturday nights. For drinks, they have your standard soft drink selection, tea, water, orange juice, and even Mexican Coca-Cola. Then there's also beer or if you're wanting something with a kick, an old-fashioned margarita. After ordering our drinks we started looking at the menu which is written in both English and Spanish. The chips were brought with our drinks and while I am usually very picky about salsa, their chips and salsa knocked it out of the park. Their guacamole is made fresh on-site and they serve a complimentary soup with the chips and salsa which is delicious. Los Cocos is open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner so the menu is packed with a variety of options. From a nacho appetizer to homemade cheesecake for dessert. Even if you have members in your group that aren't in the mood for or can't eat Mexican, they also have burgers and pasta on the menu. Los Cocos has everything. Even a whole fried fish which the kids got a kick out of. I ordered the tamales and was impressed with how fast our food was brought out. They were the best I've ever had stateside. They had the perfect amount of spice and flavor. I could not have been more pleased. The quality of service I received was unparalleled. Our waitress was attentive, funny, and overall, amazing. The quality and price of the food left me astounded. They offer catering for special occasions and events, which I will be looking further into for the holidays. I have no interest in continuing my hunt for quality authentic Mexican food, everything was spot on. If you find yourself in Southwest Houston, whether it be morning, noon, or night, stop by Los Cocos Restaurant.

In town for the weekend and decided to check this place out. Prices were fair and the food was absolutely delicious. Next time I'm in town I'll be stopping by here again! I had the cheese enchiladas and my friend had the gorditas.

This is a great low cost authentic Mexican restaurant. The handmade tortillas really make the meal! The breakfast here is amazing and if you are looking for a hangover cure on the weekends try the Menudo.

High prices... No flavor. It's sad when Mexicans can't cook Mexican food. Guess they were trained by white people.

Didn't think this place was going to be that good! Even their coffee taste really good. Definitely going back and trying the chilaquiles

I love this place! It is great on price and a big array of food options from typical tortas and gorditas to enchiladas and parilladas. The service is always great and efficient, every plate comes with a cute tasty soup before the actual dish. As well as a special for the day, yesterday I had the taco special which was 3 tacos and charro beans. They have super typical drinks as well starting with jamica, lemonade and horchata to Mexican coke and jarritos of many flavors. I will continue to come here until I've tried all the food options :D

We found this place in this website, looking for homemade tortillas. Great homemade Mexican food, I had the caldo de res and it was great! Will be back.

excellent excellent excellent! i definitely recommend. great service friendly ambiance. food was delicious and no wait , the salsa was delicious and this was authentic Mexican food !
