Amazing quality food again, every single time I've been to Cocos over the past 10 years it's been amazing!

Nice place to chillout and get something to eat. Food here is very tasty and well priced. Great to order: Chicken shawarma platter, mix grill platter, goat curry (spicy and delicious).Really good chai tea. Enjoy the good vibes

Good food, fast service. Highly recommended, albiet salty, umami overload.When we had our first bite at Coco's, we wondered, why haven't we been here before?Classic, Better late than never moment.Coco's is the most recommended restaurant in Preston by the young brigade. Close to UCLAN, great food, vibrant ambience, affordable and food from around the world. Ticks all the right boxes.Open on all days except Sunday, we visited on a Tuesday late afternoon for lunch. There was some delay in placing our order as they very politely explained that they are short staffed at this hour of the day,which was understandable. Few sips into our drinks and the food arrived, rather very quickly and blew our minds.The chimichangas were our favourite.Crusty, flaky, cheesy and bursting with flavours. Let's put it this way, take your tastiest pizza/burrito, fold it upon itself and deep fry it. Yumm! Although it was starter, we started and ended our meal with it.For the main course, we had the goat curry and jerk chicken.Both were mouth watering and very flavourful.If one likes BBQ sauce and crispy, flavourful fries, the jerk chicken should satisfy you.And if you are from the tropics and can handle the overload of spice and umami in your meat curry, go for the Goat curry. It reminded us of home although we come from different parts of India.We especially liked the rice which was served with the curry, it could stand out on its own as well.The drinks, which were imported bottled beverages, were different and refreshing. We chose a hibiscus-lemonade drink from Calypso and a root beer from Australia.We were told that they will be changing their menu soon, so the brown stew was not available.I would say 4.5 stars out of 5 for the entire experience. Half a star only cause mid way during the meal we felt that the salt content of the mains was extremely high which I am assuming were the dishes that we had ordered. The next time we would go for less salty options and maybe an extra bowl of greens/salad.Needless to say, we will be visiting this place over and over again.

Coco's has to be one of the best places to eat in Preston.The food is a delectable mix of Caribbean flavours, Central and South American dishes and South African spices, guaranteed to get your tastebuds doing somersaults in your mouth.With extremely generous portions on offer, be warned not to come here for a just a ‘small bite’ or feeling half full.…you need to be HUNGRY and on an empty stomach!!!The Brazilian ribs are amazingly tender and juicy and the mango salad topped crusted chicken is a must try. The burritos are some of the fattest I've seen, enough for two.All menu items are halal.

I ordered the Vietnamese Chicken Burger, Redskin fries (essentially sweet potato fries) and Coleslaw, I hadn't planned to order so much but the minimum £10 spend on cards is particularly disappointing.Food was served relatively quickly, and was super tasty. My only criticism was that thigh meat seemed an interesting choice for a burger as it the meat was tough and the burger was falling apart in my hands. It was tasty but messy.All in all a solid meal, almost perfection if it wasn't for the minimum card spend and the choice of either breast or thigh meat

Went here yesterday for the boneless half and half. Heard a lot of good things about this place. Eaten in and the place is so chilled! The nachos where really good! But the boneless half and half was full of grease and gave me a really bad belly all day and night. Didn’t even finish it because it was that greasy. Such a shame. I will try it again in the future at some point. Maybe they just had an off day.

Fantastic little place. The food here tastes amazing and is at an affordable price. Staff are very friendly there is enough seating. I reccomend the soul burger, absolutely delicious. Bonus is that is it halal! The fries here are also the best fries I have ever ate! So good for just 1.50. Only downsides are it is cash only and they don't serve tap water. They do however have a good range of drinks to select from.

Absolutely amazing! Ok the location/parking/size of place and general decor leaves a lot to be desired but the food is spot on. Full of flavour, great portion sizes and well priced. This defiantly has things you don't see on any other menu and fully understand why it was so busy in a weekday. Highly recommended.
