El Coco Pirata Austin

Our server Angel was GREAT! The food was ok not great. Drinks were good I've had better but will come back the downfall they charge you for using your card can you believe this!! Absurd!! Nowhere that we've been have they ever charged us for using our card the owner is probably trying to avoid paying taxes 🙄 this is ridiculous. We ended up paying cash so server got a little less tip blame it on the owner if I'm paying over 100 dollars and trying to charge a % of course I'm going to dig up cash

We went around 7:30 pm to avoid young kids/toddlers etc in the dining room. There were several little kids anyway, so we ate at the bar. Really good Ceviche. Good salsa. Good drinks. Cool atmosphere, more or less. In spite of other reviews, service was great...maybe because we were at the bar. At 8:30 live music starts. It's good, but really loud and you can't really talk once it gets going. So we left and continued dinner at another place. We'd go back. Hope they survive. They need to work out some kinks.
