Coco's... Don't Go!!!

I was there tonight and had a good dinner and service was also good. Were you the person that was cussing at the waiter? Why should it matter if you are a local? Do you expect preferential treatment? Two at my table had margaritas and enjoyed them.

They were packed.

If you had been there before and had a good dinner why do you tell people not to go now?

Aren't children people too?

Sounds like you had too much to drink and now are being nasty in a public forum.

We've always had consistent, good service and food at Coco's. The Margaritas have always been good as have our interactions with the owner, and we visit quite often ;-)

Is there such a thing as a "good" margarita? I know many people like them but a margarita in a mexican restarant has to be foul doesn't it?

Mexicans make the best margaritas Amp. Duh.
So good that I'm going to a Cinco De Mayo party thrown by a guy named Jose. And it's so authentic...that it's a week early.

They use tequila that is cheaper than box wine. Then they try to cover up the tequila that tastes like gasoline with urine-flavored neon green swill that is worse than powdered lemonade. Oh, but all the salt on the rim makes it palatable. :roll:

Give me some Partida Anejo neat.

We had some bad Mexican service last night, but I opted for the Sangria.

glad you were at CoCo's in order to sensibly respond. I have always enjoyed the food there and the Margarita's. As always, it is also the company you are with that makes the difference...and your own attitude!!! (some really fresh fish thrown into the deal is a plus! ;-) ....even tho I didn't get any... )

If anyone has read my thoughts on CoCo's Margaritas in the past, you will know that you order them for the quantity, not quality. They do have a slick taste to them, but they are cheap and big! The prices at CoCo's are about the cheapest around, so tourists and locals, both, are able to eat inexpensively. Regarding gratuity on kids meals, kids are people and if they are served food, what is wrong with tipping for service? :boxing:;-)

When our children were younger, we would tip EXTRA to allow for the extra mess.

As to CoCos, it's a good stand-by restaurant. Not great, not terrible, but good inexpensive Mexican food with a decent margarita.

Whew. From the title of this post, I thought Coco's was closing down! We're losing too many restaurants lately so I'm relieved to see this is nothing more than a bad service complaint.

No question. I'm not a big fan of added gratuity for large parties, but it's the practice I'm not fond of, not the way the number is determined. I can say that when I go out to eat with 4 kids, they take up more space and energy than a group of 4 adults! :shock:

No news here, Coco's margarita's have always sucked. I think that the food is actually pretty good and they have always been very friendly to my family in spite of my kids crawling under the table. Sorry for your bad experience but we go frequently and will keep going.

forced gratuity on any party is always a gamble for the server. when presented to me, that's what the server gets. i know many servers(myself included) have been burned by large parties, probably due to the drunks pretending not to know how much each call drink costs. and, they're the ones who invariably leave early, throwing $20 on the table, saying "all i had was a couple of drinks and some chips"

i will typically start the gratuity scale at 20% and go up or down from there, depending on the quality of service only. i left more than 20% at snapperheads today.

a forced 20% tip on a party of six is not common, there must be more to the story...
