Jam packed with flavor. Good price. Cooked fresh.I got the impossible beef empanada and the dirty dancing bowl. Everything was great. I would come here just for piles of empanadas and maduros (plantains). *drool*It's a small interior, so not great to sit in for a large group. Best for a delicious, casual bite with a friend or two, or take out.

The location is easy to locate and parking is good when it's not busy in the area - I can imagine it being a nightmare during peak hours. I went for the empanadas and sweet plantains. Everything was good, hot, and fresh. I forgot the names of the ones that we tried, but they are good! Service was very friendly and will return.

I love the flavors of the food at koki and remember frequenting their location in Durham when they were Spanglish. I had the chicken , rice and beans and the cheese pizza empanada. They have a Thursday empanada special and the fillings are unique (bbq, pineapple, s'mores , etc) The restaurant is small with a few tables and I noticed most orders were takeout at the time I went. The staff is always pleasant and helpful .

The restaurant is located on a small shopping center across from the Hyatt Place hotel near the airport. There was plenty of free parking and lots of tables outside. The inside is small with only 4 tables and a bar. They have some desserts and pastries for sale. I ordered El Kiosko, a plate with rice and beans, salad with vinaigrette, and 2 delicious empanadas. I also got the small bowl of bean soup. It was a lot of food for 1 person, so I saved the rest for later. My food was very good. I would love to try additional flavors of empanadas and their desserts and pastries.

The service was horrible!! I sat and waited 15 minutes for 2 empanadas that were terrible!! I sat there while the owner manager and employees argued among themselves!! I was ignored. Empanadas were sat and 10 minutes later given to me cold. I will never go to this place again! Bad, negative, unprofessional energy!!

I've lived 1/2 mile from here for 4 years and never stopped in. OOPS! My loss! The food is fantastic! We each had a bowl of Abuela's Chicken Soup (OMFG!), we split their Spanglish Cuban (better than any actual Cuban I've had) and some empanadas (cheesesteak in an Empanada - who would have thought of that?!?!?). The service was friendly fast and efficient. All around a great experience!

I got a Señor Iglesias chicken sandwich with tostones. The sandwich was large and very good but also very messy. I've had sandwiches at other places that were more messy but this was pretty messy! I ate at least a third of the chicken that has slipped out from the sandwich. Some sort of paper wrapper probably would have helped. I did eat everything on the plate!There's very little seating and me was lucky to arrive a little before noon today (a Saturday) when the place was empty. I got a table for my friend and me - within 30 minutes, the place was much busier and I think some people had to eat their food elsewhere.

Kokí is a must go, if you love empanadas!!This is their second location, and it carries the same great flavor, customer service and homeade tastes as the first! This location is very casual, slightly smaller and great for to go orders, but still has two tables for indoor dining. Order the empanadas, queso frito, and ask to try all of their sauces! There is a green sofrito "like" sauce, a guava maple sauce, and a cream based sauce. The green and cream based sauced pair perfectly with the empanadas and the guava maple is AMAZING with the queso frito (fried cheese bites).They have a wide variety of drink choices, bottled and canned, from tropical juices to water and soda. There are also three to four signature in house drinks that they make behind the counter.This location has ample free parking right outside the restaurant, and is located in a shopping center. 10/10 would recommend and visit again!

Debut y despedida, las empanada de pizza y de carne fritas bien por fuera y por dentro crudas. El pernir empapao de grasa (escurralo bien antes de servirlo), el mofongo le falto sabor le vine a encontrar un poco de sabor a ajo ya cuando se me habian quitado las ganas de comer de echo dejamos mas de la mitad de la comida por que no nos gusto en mi plato lo mejor eran los amarillos que si me los comi y por favor si van a poner cuerito POR FAVOR QUE ESTE TOSTADITO se les ocurrio poner un pedazo de cuero blando por favor que tenian en la cabeza. Mi esposo pidio una chuleta cancan le faltaba cocimiento y el cuerito estaba tostado pero pasmado no el tostado que uno se pudiera comer, el arros blanco y las habichuelas estaban ricas y la ensalada. Lo mas importante el servicio pesimo la cajera, mesera como le quieran poner estaba mas pendiente al dichoso celular que a los clientes. Como les escribi ya debut y despedida lamentablemente me gusta apoyar a mi gente pero por favor seamos dados a hacer lo mejor en cada servicio.
