Coco Cantina Pahoa

Was so excited for a new Mexican place in Hilo. I ordered the chicken burrito for take out. The menu says it's supposed to have rice, beans, sour cream, guacamole, and cheese. There was no guacamole, sour cream, or cheese, and very few beans inside of theburrito. The majority of the filling was rice. The one positive was that the chicken that was in there did taste good. $15 for30% of a burrito. Also I was still hungry after.

Love to get pau hana (after work)drinks here with local flavors and very friendly bartenders. They use alot of local flavors and fruits, w many versions of your favorite main land drinks.

So Ono! Delicious food and cocktails and wonderful service. They also have a killer happy hour. Definitely will be back, so glad this place opened up and looking forward to the Hilo location too!

With indoor and outdoor seating, this is a great Mexican restaraunt to visit for a bite to eat. I went at noon, and service was friendly and prompt. We had drinks out to us nice and quick, along with terrific homemade chips and salsa. I had the chickennachos and the brunch quesadilla. The nachos were great, lots of black beans, onion, tomato and cheese. The chicken was cookedperfectly, I could only ask for smaller chopped pieces to spread over more chips next time. The quesadilla was perfectlycooked, flakey and had a good mix of meat and eggs. it comes with a lighter hollandaise sauce for dipping, which makes it agreat treat for breakfast or brunch. All in all, I would recommend you definitely stop by and try it out. They have a greatselection of drinks as well, for the alcohol- inclined.

We had a nice lunch here on a Tuesday at 1130am Very nice, clean, new contemporary spot at the Puna Kai Shopping Center in Pahoa. We dined in and sat at a table outside in the breeze way which was great! Service was fast pleasant (I didn't get theserver's name). I ordered the Chile Rellenos and the portion was generous with beans, rice and choice of flour or corn tortillasas sides. I was slightly disappointed with my entree choice as it arrived at the table lukewarm (the sides were much warmer thanthe Chile) and it wasn't as flavorful as I had hoped. I will definitely give Coco Cantina another try and it's very reasonableprice wise for the amount of food served. Looking forward to trying the other items on the menu Aloha!????????????
