Mc Cocos

I love this place! I went during the summer for their lunch special and the food is $8 from 11-3P. The food was so delicious and the drinks were great! The ambiance makes you feel like you're in Puerto Rico, or somewhere in the Caribbean. I definitely recommend this place. Service is a little bit of a wait but it's because they are perfecting your meal and I appreciate that.

Decor was nice, dirty side plate was set up with silverware, great portion sizes, sub par service. Probably won't be back. It was a miss

The bilingual staff was fantastic and the ambiance was great, although the music was extremely loud, making it difficult to have a conversation with my friend. The food was good, but on the salty side. The dish I ordered said that it came with plantains, but they forgot to put it on the plate so we had to request it. The serving size was enormous, so I brought almost half of it home to have as leftovers.Since the name is Mc "Cocos" (coconut), I asked if they had any traditional dishes made with coconut like the ones that are typical in Venezuela, but they do not have anything made with coconut.For dessert, I ordered the flan, which was good, however, it was missing the traditional "caramelo".I hope the owner/manager reads this review and is able to make adjustments based on it (specially music column)because I would really like to go back and bring some of my Hispanic friends.

McCocos is a well decorated, instagram worthy restaurant with decent food. The vibe and aesthetics as soon as you walk in make for a fun vibe! I went with a group of 6 and called for a reservation earlier in the day. We were sat within ten minutes of arrival which was great since they were very busy on a Friday night! Drink menu is extensive- all drinks sweet. After sitting, we did wait quite awhile for someone to take our order ~20 minutes. Once our order was taken, it was quite a bit before we received our drinks. The ambiance didn't make this a huge deal but I can see if someone wanted a quick dinner where it would run into issues. We placed our food order and we're told that the kitchen was backed up. We appreciated them being upfront and honestly the food wait wasn't that long considering the warning ~30 minutes. I ordered the churrasco with tostones. Fabulous flavor but overcooked. Overall, I am looking forward to trying this again, but the wait times and service issues were evident. I truly think they are just understaffed. All in all, we were there for over two hours and received two drinks and our meals. I will be back to give them a second try, maybe on not such a busy night.

This is a recent book mark after seeing the unique menu so I stopped by for lunch. WOW this place is beautiful was my first impression as I walked in with color and a modern cool look. They have a nice bar and dining area which was clean and new looking with TVs all over playing colorful salt water coral and fish and some neon. This is way out of place for West Allis and should be in a hipper part of Milwaukee.The menu is very interesting with breakfast, lunch and dinner options and fancy cocktails. The chaofan platter was recommended of the two dishes I was looking at with choice of meat. The presentation was on point for a $12.95 platter I thought, someone has put money and serious thought in to making this gem of a restaurant in downtown West Allis and GREAT JOB.The chaofan platter comes with choice of meat and I chose grilled steak and onions with, chaofan rice and a side salad. The grilled steak was nothing fancy and a thin grilled sandwich steak that had a slight grilled flavor. The chaofan rice is a fried rice with vegetables, eggs and bits of beef and chicken that was tasty and seasoned nicely. The side salsa is more of a garnish.Overall if anyone follows my reviews you know that I like to try every style of food and some more than others but this is a very welcome restaurant for the city of West Allis. After moving to Milwaukee over 20 ago from Chicago with an awesome food scene I can honestly say that the Milwaukee area food scene has come a long way in that time.

This place is interesting. I had seen they had fun cocktails so we stopped by for drinks, they are about average priced to a little expensive for the area. Decor is unique with lots of neon and tvs. Staff was very friendly and had no issues with service.

Two visits in, one for lunch a couple of months ago and one for dinner with the family tonight. The lunch is organized by side dish for the most part (tostones, arroz con gandules, white rice and beans, etc.) and you choose the protein to pair it with. McCoco's is a Caribbean restaurant with a focus on Puerto Rican and Dominican cuisine, with a few Mexican and Columbian dishes, and an out-of-place "shrimp scampi" dish thrown in. Lunch was near perfect. I ordered arroz con gandules with pernil (roasted pulled pork shoulder) and sides of mofongo and tostones. The pernil was tender, moist, and really well-seasoned! The arroz con gandules was also tasty. The tostones on my first visit had a beautiful yellow color with a crisp exterior and fluffy interior, and the mofongo was nicely seasoned but could have use a bit more cruchy chicharron for texture. Tostones are made from green plantain. They are generally bland and rely on crispy texture and salt for flavor. They are often served with a 50/50 mix of ketchup and mayo as a dipping sauce (which Heinz figured out to bottle and sell). Maduros are made from ripe plantains, which provides a naturally sweet flavor. You'll find these on Carribbean menus, including Jamaican menus, and they'll simply be listed as plantains, but know that those are the sweet version from ripe plantains. Mofongo is made from mashed fried green plantain. Typically fried and mashed in a wooden bowl or pilon (pee LONE) and stuffed with meat, seafood, or veggies, or rolled into a ball with bits of crispy pork or chicharron, and deep fried.Tonight's visit was solid, too, with only minor marks against. I ordered the carne frita (fried meat, specifically pork) with white rice and beans and a side of tostones. You'll see a big difference my two photos of tostones from the two visits. In the earlier dated photo, the plantains were sliced at an angle and cooked in clean oil for the proper amount of time (typically slice around an inch thick, fry for a couple of minutes, removed from fryer, smash, then refry to complete the cook for another couple of minutes). The tostones today were cooked in oil that was used a lot, likely because of the very busy Mother's Day volume, and they were sliced straight, as opposed to t an angle. Today's tostones were not as good as the first visit, BUT the white rice, beans, and carne frita were all cooked perfectly, seasoned perfectly, and very delicious! The pickled red onions on top of the carne frita were a nice touch. The other negative mark is for the yuca fries. They were undercooked. The color was closer to white than a golden color. They weren't crispy at all and the center wasn't soft and fluffy. They were also underseasoned. The pork empanadas we had as an app were also perfectly cooked and delicious, and while I liked the chicharron appetizer, what we received looked much different than the photo on the menu. It was a much smaller order than pictured, and not worth the $12, but the pieces had good flavor. Expect a good amount of fat I thought our service was great for the most part. We were a group of 10, and despite our server reading back our orders, one order was still missed and two orders came out LONG after everyone else had their food, so part server error and part kitchen error. I will go back again, and I do recommend you give them a try.

Didn't live up to the hype. It was 630 on a Saturday and they were very busy. Usually busy means it's a good restaurant so we were excited. We sat at the bar but everything was dirty... everything. Including the glasses that just got out of the dishwasher, the napkins in the holders were dirty, counter was dirty, refrigerators behind the bar were dirty, left over marg/pina coladas in blenders, bar chairs broken and more. Honestly the more we looked around we couldn't stomach getting more than an appetizer. We got a canned sprite and didn't get drinks. I'm sure this place has great potential but if they can't keep the bar clean which is visible I wouldn't trust their kitchen.

I loved this place for the great service that Joyce provided and the food was excellent!! The only problem I had is that they obviously had a fruit fly (moscas de frutas) problem big time. It was hard to really enjoy until I had leftovers. It's a really good restaurant but, I give a 3 star because of the flying pests. I will definitely try it again.

I was really disappointing ! The drinks and food looks great on pictures I ordered rice which was dry.. a chicken plate the chicken looked like fish. It was terribleThe drinks were bland and just disappointing The service was lacking. It was like a family get together place and we were out of place.
