Phoenix Coqui

Tried out Phoenix Coqui for a quick weeknight dinner. We dined in but it might be more of a takeout spot, there's ample parking in the rear. The menu is short and is predominantly in Spanish. Take some time reviewing so that you don't end up disappointed. We tried the Mofongo con Pernil and chicken/beef empanadas. The pernil (pork) was marinated well and very flavorful, however, the mofongo didn't add much to the meal. The empanadas were priced well and flavorful, they paired well with the homemade sauce provided. Overall, this spot is great if you're a fan of Puerto Rican food. If you're new to Puerto Rican food- review the menu before coming! Service was fast and kind.

Definitely not our first visit and won't be our last. We have been stopping at Phoenix Coqui since they were a food truck. We usually end up with their carne frita, pernil, and amarillos. I have also tried their alcapurria de yuca and their mofongo. Everything has been delicious. Definitely can't say enough great things about this place as far as their food goes. The pernil is delicious, melts in your mouth and super soft. We love their arroz con gandules. Staff can sometimes be a bit rude, depends who you deal with. Just not very welcoming and sometimes can have an attitude. I also wish their mayo sauce cups were actually filled. Sometimes I get cups that are 1/4 filled, it's insane. I would rather pay extra and have a full 2oz cup. Last two times we came here I asked for extra sauce when I ordered on the phone, I didn't get any. Another time the lady behind the counter gave my wife an attitude. Overall customer service could be better.

Delicious food! Plenty of parking and the staff is super friendly. I haven't dined in yet but wouldn't object to it because the inside is clean and cheerful

We wanted to like this place because some Puerto Rican reviewers raved, but we had an awful experience and got food poisoning. The food and service were both an utter disappointment. We will never go back. My empanadillas were pretty much all (bleh deep fried) pastry with very little filling. The rice was meh. My companion said that his Cubano sandwich wasn't good. We went on Valentine's Day because of their special email offer, which we had to ask for multiple times due to a shift change, even arguing with the second cashier that it was real, who finally asked her boss and the special deal was already programmed into their computer. I pointed out their funny email, which in Spanish gave customers a 15% discount, but the English words offered 20%, see picture. This place just doesn't compare to La Famosa in DC. But the pina colada (served in a plastic cup, ugh) was okay.

We had Phoenix Coqui cater a recent work event. The food was plentiful and loaded with flavor. I am still receiving comments about how much our employees enjoyed Phoenix Coqui and I can't wait to bring them back again!

Amazing food, service, and menu! I love it here brings you back home. I wish I could eat here for every meal also they have real piña coladas here!

My coworker brought me after work the other day for a late lunch! It was bomb!! Highly recommend fast decent priced and home made!

My mom and I picked up a to-go order for lunch today. We shared sides including arroz con gandules, red beans, and sorullitos, and each got a mushroom empanadilla. We're both pescatarian, so we loved seeing some good veggie & shrimp options on the menu. All the food was delicious and the perfect amount for two. Can't wait to try some other choices next time!

My husband and I were looking forward to trying this restaurant, and I went and ordered dinner to go yesterday. We had some knowledge of Puerto Rican food, as we had visited San Juan several years ago. I ordered the Monfongo con carne frita, and my husband ordered the Plato de Pernil. The pulled pork was juicy and the seasoned rice was perfect, and the amount was quite ample.Unfortunately my order was uneatable. The mashed plantains had no seasoning, and the pork was very dry and fried so hard that it was difficult to chew. I could not eat mine, and it went in the trash. I was able to share my husband's dish, but I would never order the fried pork again.
