The worst food I think I have ever had. I was on my way to Monterey and decided to stop by for a bite to eat. I had the tuna melt croissant, it was super cold with literally no flavor. The waitress was really not helpful and never really asked how our food was nor did I feel like she cared. I wish I could give them a negative star…

My husband and I have been coming here for dates regularly for about 8 years, and we love the food! However, at breakfast today our waiter(a blonde man named Zak I believe?) turned to my husband and made a painfully sexist joke about me. It certainly put a damper on our otherwise delicious meal. I understand wanting to be the«funny» waiter and build rapport, but I would steer clear of, you know, making jokes about women needing to be controlled by their husbands. In the future, I will ask not to be seated in this persons area again.

Pie was very yummy. Service could have been better, we barely received a greeting or any time to look over the menu from the server. The restaurant was far from busy so I am not sure what the rush was from the staff.

Called and told if we came in right away there was no wait. We were down the street and showed up 3 mins. later upon arrival were told the wait was 25 mins.

We came here for Sunday breakfast because my husband was craving Denver pancakes. Surprisingly it wasn’t too busy, we got right in. I’m really not a big breakfast person, so I had the Fit & Lively Tomato Basil omlet. It was perfect for me, not too filling. Portion was just enough. It was stuffed with tomato, basil and spinach, onions & feta cheese. Delicious! I also got a side of extra crispy bacon, and it came out perfect! Ambiance was nice, not too loud, and they actually had good background music playing. If you’re traveling through, this is a good place to come to right off the freeway. And if you’re lucky enough to be a local, you know that everything is pretty close here. Also, buy a pie«to-go», they’re pretty tasty!

I come here for the Denver Potato pancakes. I can’t find them anywhere else and they are so good they do a very good job here. Other than that this cocos does a good job. The wait staff is attentive and nice.

They took us to our seats right away .The food is great and they get it to you fast. It’s more expensive than Denny’s which is right down the road but it’s 10x as good. The pie is amazing ! The staff is super friendly and nice. And our waiter was very attentive at what we needed. It’s great if you have kids they have the coloring pages. Love the place the food and the people.

This is a little American style diner. I might be biased, because I’ve never really enjoyed that heavy style of food, but after eating here I’m not sure I’d return. You might as well go to Denny’s because it’s right down the street and the food is the same, but probably cheaper. Both the food and quality suffered; I was standing in front of the hostess stand for a couple minutes and wasn’t acknowledged until an employee noticed their friends came in, and saw me in front of them. The fries were soggy and had no flavor. Salmon was dry and I could have easily made it myself. I expected a more from this cute little diner.

This restaurant is a standard on my rotation for dining out. The food is familiar«American diner» fair, and most of the time is good to okay, it kind of depends on who the cook on staff is. There were two or three times when I legitimately sent props to the chef, because the plate looked exactly like the menu photo. Other times, it was less impressive. I really appreciate the staff, they are hard working and really try to do their best(I’m biased, I’ve become acquainted on a first name basis with many of them). During peak times, I would not necessarily come here expecting fast-food quick service, but during off-peak times, you’ll get no better service from these folks. Their desserts are a highlight, and one of the few diner stops in the five cities area to get a good, uniquely flavored pie since Marie Calender’s closed down the highway. The staff is consistently a four to me, the food ranges from two-four, so I’ll cut the difference and give them a solid three.

Oh, my gosh! Great food and wonderful people. Such an extraordinary combination. Thank you to one and all for the spectacular service and food that is simply out of this world. Always a place that is open, welcoming, and certainly on the front burner! Larry knows how to put it ll together. The staff personnel are great at what they do. I am so pleased to have Coco’s in my own backyard. Everyone: come on it! You will keep this restaurant at the top of your list!

The food at this Coco’s is always good. The service is excellent. Jorge and Sergio are awesome and attentive. I’ve been coming here for years with my family. Because of the great service, this has been my(comfort) food spot for many years now. Thank you.

Waiter seems tired and angry. 3 tables behind me are dirty. Waiters voice sounds very annoyed. Was not impressed by the dinner menu. Will not come back for dinner. He also slammed menus down on table to stack them. Very unnecessary.

Not a fan of «chain» restaurants, but Coco’s is a touch of our old Bay Area dining experiences. A familiar name and familiar menu. Always accommodating and attentive wait staff(especially Sergio who brings us LOTS of bread and appreciates my humor) and cooks(especially Lupe) who«poach»(rather than grill) my salmon to perfection. Warm, friendly, local atmosphere. Tony, the manager, is a character!

This is by far the best cocos I’ve ever been to. The Manager Francisco was so friendly and promptly greeted us at the door. Our server Jorge was amazing as well! He took all of our order without having to write anything down and remembered all the details. He was so friendly, attentive and funny! I will definitely be back here soon for the great service and great food! Their breakfast is always great and their pies are to die for! :)

I really enjoy eating here when I want some good simple American style food. I am a fan of the Chicken Fried Steak ! One thing I noticed is that the service has been really good on a regular basis. Zack helped me the other day and he was super polite but everyone is really nice.

While my Turkey burger was good this was all the fries I received. Seems a bit skimpy to me.

Standard American diner. My food here was a fluke, but my friends enjoyed their meals. It was evident that my breakfast had been poorly reheated leftovers. Don’t get the chorizo hash(or just the hash overall)! I am guessing these don’t get ordered often hence they don’t get made fresh to order. It was so bad, I just ate the eggs off the top and left the rest.
