Coqui

Finally had time to stop by and try this place and was not disappointed! I got the yellow rice plate with a vegetarian chicken patty and spinach empanada, drink, and Green Machine sauce for $12. Great value for the portion! I really enjoyed the food and will be back.

We had never had Puerto Rican cuisine before so had no idea what to expect. We kept an open mind and tried a lot of the menu. We were pleasantly please and delighted with the service, atmosphere and especially the small but super tasty menu. We tried the chicken empanada- smokey, cheesy and crispy. Great flavor. We would go back just for that! We also got the chicken jibarito with plantain bread with a side of yucca fries and sweet potato fries. All were delish and freshly made. Chicken was moist and yummy, fries crispy. Served with three different dipping containers. One mayo-ish, one BBQ, and the other perfect with the empanadas. We finished it off with white cornmeal churros dusted on cinnamon sugar and drizzled with honey! Showstopper. These were better than fresh doughnuts. Everything was delish. We will be back!

This place was excellent. The prices initially seem high, based on the description, but the portions are huge and the dishes are so much more flavorful and nuanced than the menu descriptions sound. I'm not sure what kind of sorcery they're doing to make the sauces so good, the mango BBQ sauce was so good that I essentially murdered the bun of my dining companion's sandwich while trying to drag my yuca fries through it. And the staff was super friendly and welcoming.

Down home (island) cooking...all my favorites...the papas rellenas were a special treat. Creative decor was on the modern side with the giant Coqui ready to jump off the wall.

There is more to this little eatery at the end of the strip. The appearance on the outside does not describe what is in the inside. It is warm and comfortable the place is clean including the kitchen. It was a bit of a rush hour but the the waitress or cashier was friendly. That is what an eatery needs. My first time eating there I didn’t want to get something I would regret. She picked it out. Which is also on the menu for those confused like me. What she picked I enjoyed. It was black means with green olives. I did not think I would like it but when I ate it the explosion of flavors went mad. I enjoyed it so much The rice was just a tad sticky but it was made up by the flair of flavor as well. The chicken meat I figured it out and combined them together that made a great lunch. For the amount you get a nice portion and it was well worth it. I highly recommend you come stop by this small eatery with great flavor. Welcome to east ridge I will visit you again
