El Coquí is a popular restaurant serving Puerto Rican cuisine with a unique twist. The food is great, featuring a variety of options including a lunch buffet for $13, which changes daily and includes at least 2 meat dishes, 2 rice dishes, and a salad bar. Standout dishes include the Cubano sandwich, fried pork chop, and Isla Vieques (fried tilapia). The mofongo, infused with tapioca, is a must-try—perfectly seasoned and incredibly satisfying. The pernil is tender and juicy, bursting with rich, slow-cooked flavors. The restaurant also offers a range of domestic and foreign sodas for $3. The warm and inviting atmosphere makes guests feel right at home, and the staff is friendly and passionate about their food, eager to recommend their signature dishes. The interior seating is no-frills, and a 4% service charge is added to credit card transactions. Overall, El Coquí is a hidden gem that combines tradition with innovation, making it a great value and a delicious dining option.
