"I am so happy Coquito has reopened under the same friendly ownership with the same delicious menu. I dine there weekly, and hope that anyone who has not tried dining here, will certainly stop in for an amazing dinner. The menu is reasonably priced with generous portions. Salads, sandwiches and full dinner entrees are available. My favorite is the grilled salmon. It's amazing as well as the grilled vegetables ande the rice and beans. They have music and dancing on the weekends, and select evenings even have salsa lessons! What a great place for couples, friends as well as families. It is a must try if you are looking for something other than the commonly found American or Italian cuisine. It's Awesome!!!"

"Great food, service and atmosphere! I suggest Coquito at every opportunity! Friday nights has a jazz band thats is a great time!"

"So happy we have Coquito in Warwick. Friendly owners, beautiful atmosphere, great menu and delicious food all priced just right! Also, you can enjoy wonderful entertainment on select evenings. So happy they have reopened under the same ownership. I dine there once a week and always enjoy! Great place for couples, friends and families as well. Nice to have this unique cuisine in town. "

"sorry to see them go"

"GREAT FOOD, GREAT ATMOSPHERE,AMAZING COCKTAILS, FRIENDLY PEOPLE, GREAT SERVICE,LIKE BEING IN A BEAUTIFUL PLACE IN NY WITH ALL YOUR BEST FRIENDS AND FAMILY .. LOVE IT"

"Over priced, tasteless food, rude management, so noisy you can not hear yourself. Took over 90 minutes to get our meal. Server was polite but obviously over her head. Owner was rude and should stay away from the place ---they would prob do better without her. $384.00 check and not worth a dime."

"I went to the restaurant this past weekend with friends, one whom had been there previously and recommended it. The ambience is very nice, cozy, good music,chic etc. Unfortunately, the food was mediocre to say the least. I immediately sent my food back because it was not as expected. The wait staff returned it to the kitchen but did not offer a substitue. One of my friends, also not happy with her meal asked to speak to the manager. The manager turned out to be the chef who apparently was annoyed to be pulled out of the kitchen because he was rather rude to my friend. To make matters worse, to make "amends" they took $4.00 off of my meal for what was returned. It has always been my understanding that in the service industry, the customer is always right. The right thing to do was not charge me at all for a meal of fried plantains and a salad( which came w/ the meal).Its unfortunate that a local establishment behaved this way because you can be sure I will never recommend them to anyone. Basically, our girls night out was ruined."

"I had the grouper creole, it was very salty and fishy tasting, covered in what looked & tasted like enhanced thick ketchup poured over it. My friend #1 had the lobster in garlic sauce- chunks of lobster w/ extremely salty sauce poured over it. So salty she could not eat the sauce, and the lobster tasted fishy, not fresh. Friend #2 had the surf and turf, the lobster fishy and the steak was a mere 1/2 thick and overcooked, certainly not a quality cut of meat. Friend #3 had lobster gumbo, it was okay, nothing noteworthy. Bread and appetizers were good. It was our first time here, a crowded Sat. night. Disappointing."

"My first and ONLY visit was not a good experience. I had reservations but waited 10 minutes for a open table. Plenty of wait staff available they just were too busy socializing to take care of a customer. Then I had to wait 20 minutes to get a menu. A full 60 minutes until my drink order was taken. Another 20 minutes for my complicated bottle of beer to get served. I finally placed my food order after being there 90 minutes. The food did arrive at the table in a reasonable amount of time and the food was very tasty.
I will not return. There are other places with good food that care about customer service."

"Excellent food, staff, and atmosphere. I've been in a few times, last time I ordered the papaya.. Wow. "

"My wife and I were given a gift certificate to try out Coquito. We were excited to try the restaurant since we both quipped how nice the place looked, and it was new so we thought it'd be a nice change.

We went on Saturday night, which was busy when we entered. We were looking for a table for two, and we were told that someone would be with us by three different people. We waited, not too long, only to be seated at a cocktail table that they had. Upon asking if they had anyhting else, we were given a crisp reply of this is what we have for two. (nevermind the other 2-3 tables of two eating) I would have waited for a table, not to have to sit a mini table, of which the only other of the same style was for holding the menu's at the door, behind patron's at the bar. We felt that we were being treated poorly due to our age.
After we were seated, the wait staff did a nice job and were very cordial and polite.
The shrimp cocktail appetizer was warm.
The empanada's were not particularly spicy as would be expected in a latin eatery.
The lobster in the surf and turf was undercooked; it was difficult to cut with a knife, and was not white in color. It had to be sent back in order to finish cooking.
The initial treatment would have been overlooked because the wait staff was very nice. However, the same hostess after the initial gruff treatment,came over and tried to make small talk, only to come across as doing so because she felt some sort of obligation to ask how everything was going (general restaurant etiquette). She was way more pleasant to people she knew and thought mattered. She also turned the TV off at the bar without asking the patrons there if they were watching the TV, forcing the 3-4 of them to leave.
The food was underwhelming for the expectations I had going in."

"The food is outstanding, service is great everything is wonderful here. I have been there several times Lunch and Dinner, never disappointed with anything. "

"My Husband and I ate at Coquito last night. Walking in we did not know what to expect or even the type of cuisine it was. The decor was a pleasant surprise, rich tones of brown and orange mixed with modern lighting and an impressive display of the logo in lights on the main wall. It seems no expense had been spared, fresh flowers accented the bar and the menus were top notch.
The staff was friendly as we were greeted with a smile, service was prompt as well. We each ordered soft drinks and a beef empanada to start. The appetizer was flavorful and not as spicy as I expected it to be, all of the food was rather mild with a hint of spice. For the main dish my husband ordered the Lobster Gumbo and I had a grilled chicken sandwich with a side of fried sweet plantains. I added salt to my plantains and I definitly expected more chicken on my sandwich but overall the taste was good. My husband enjoyed the taste of his dish overall but wished it would have had a bit more spice, although I could see how people would enjoy mild taste. The only thing that was frustrating was the lobster, it was in the shell, my husband had to tiediously pick pieces of lobster out of soup and out of the shell, he was a mess by the end of the meal. We do not know that type of cuisine so perhaps it is custom to prepare it this way, but maybe traditions can be modified for a fine dining restaurant. There was a decent amount of lobster in the dish though. All in all we would definitly visit again."

"Great atmosphere, great food that is priced right and the selection of entrees is fantastic. I love all of the fish choices and have tried them all to my delight. We have been there 4 times and each time the food and the service have been excellent!!! I love having a latin restaurant in Warwick!! "

"Loved the food, loved the decor. This is Purto Rican food served in an upscale atmosphere. I had the rice and beans- Good. The pastellilos- great and the Mofongo- good. The decor is very modern, and Soho-like. There is live latin music here on certain nights. The hostess was very hospitable. Fans of Puerto Rican food will love this. Others- I am not so sure - during our first visit, we asked a couple who was done how they liked the food, and they were very negative when describing certain dishes. They didn't seem at all familiar with the type of food coquito serves. They proceeded to recommend an Italian place if we wanted "really good food".
We found this to be funny since we knew what good food was- that is why we chose Coquito. If we had wanted Italian, we would have chosen that- comparing the cuisines is like comparing apples and oranges. Bottom line - if you enjoy latin music, and latin food- you WILL enjoy Coquitos."

"So so, you say you went there "for...and beers" when it opened: how did you do this when they opened w/o their license to sell beer? I don't think you went there, actually - whoever you are.

We have been there twice and plan to return many times. Beautiful menu, and great service. The best new restaurant in Warwick, where the choices otherwise are Italian, Italian, Italian, and then Italian.

The food is mild, delicate, but not spicy - which appeals to my other half. It would be very nice if they developed a trio of salsas (or options otherwise) for those of us who like heat, but not having this this won't stop us from returning.

The room is open, airy, and not noisy - and the colors, furnishings, bar and lighting fit together perfectly and work well for anything from casual to romantic.

This is a unique restaurant for New York. Are you up for it? You should be."

"great food, beautiful atmosphere, friendly people, great service, easy parking"

"Went here when it first opened, ordered mid-range entrees and beers. The rice was dry and inedible. My pork entree was deep-fried, over cooked chunks of pork, sans seasoning of any kind. My husband's fish was rubbery and he could not eat it. The hostess went around to tables all around us, and gave out special little creamy after dinner drinks (gratis) to everyone there except us, even two guys that had only ordered burgers. It is a shame b/c it is local for us and was a place we have frequented in the past, we were happy it had reopened. Will try again just to be sure--after the pain of wasted money is over. "

"I really enjoyed the shrimp gumbo. i recommend this place for it's great atmosphere, friendly staff, music and dance. The food is the best, authentic latin food in Orange County."
