This restaurant was featured on the two good to go app so figured I would give them a try there pickup window was from 4pm to 5pm for the mystery bag I got there at 4:45pm and the lady at register said they had no food and could not honor so I asked her what I should do since I already paid and she was very rude and said there was nothing she could do her manager wasn't there and that I would have to figure out how to get a refund myself I will never go to this restaurant again the staff is very rude and doesn't know how to treat customers and now I have to hope I can contact someone for refund would never recommend this place to no one

The food was high quality and authentic. I come from a large Puerto Rican family and I know PR food. This place was amazing. Had the pernil and it was cooked to perfection.

Looking for something quick for lunch today and tried El Coquito. I was unsure if it was Puerto Rican Food or if it was a coffee house but nonetheless. I ordered 2 Chicken Pastelillo, sweet plantain, and a mango smoothie. I was taken aback because it was a very long wait and there was only 3 others ahead of me who were together. I finally got my smoothie and it was delicious, and I enjoyed it, the plantain was fine too, nothing special, I wish it would’ve been served with something to dip them into but wishful thinking.
The chicken pastelillo - so the roasted chicken inside was delicious yet it needed to be seasoned, the cheese, American, not a good choice for me (I am not a fan of American cheese) I almost didn’t eat it but I felt the chicken was pretty good so I would take one for the team. The best part was the homemade shell.
Overall I would try them again hoping that American cheese is gone tho sorry

This is the first time eating at this restaurant and my overall experience was average! I ordered roaster pork and I was informed that they didn't have anymore! So, I ordered beef steak with onions with rice and beans! Ipon receiving my meal, the meal was barely warm! The rice and beans were warm! This place has no Alcohol or Malta Indian! The decor was average! The meal was tasty, but it needs to be hot and not warm at best!

I just had a great experience at El Coquito, I felt comfortable sitting upstairs. The waitress went above and beyond, frequently navigating the stairs without a single complaint, even though there were only a few patrons inside. The food was fantastic, and the service was top-notch. The atmosphere had a wonderful vibe that made the visit enjoyable. Highly recommend! Spaced Out Podcast Approved @spacedout_podcast

We got this delivered on GrubHub but half the food was not there. Yes they refunded us but we didn’t have time to get more food. Is there any way for restaurants to update delivery apps with the updated availability of their product? Or notify the customer if they want the item replaced? I feel like if a restaurant is committing to being on a delivery app they should ensure customers get notified if food they ordered becomes unavailable. When I am stuck in the hospital with my baby that is in the NICU, I order food because it’s inconvenient for me to leave to go get it. Then when we wait 40 mins for the food to arrive we expect to eat the dinner we paid for. Idk that’s just me. Either be prepared for online orders or don’t have your restaurant on the food delivery app.
