    Was just here this past weekend. Food is still phenomenal and packed with flavor. I got takeout on Friday night and was lucky enough to beat the crowd. I went for the Spicy Grilled Chicken and the rest of the family went with Fajitas. Everyone was happy with fresh tortillas, cooked to order meat and homemade salsa. We did split a chicken nacho too, which was delicious! I decided to go again Saturday morning since the rest of the family wanted breakfast. So after running a few errands I swung by for a wet plate. Oh man honestly that's the best time to go, right when they open. I noticed people coming in for takeout and understood why. It smelt like flour tortillas and when I was leaving I looked over into the kitchen to see flour tortillas being made! Very cool. The signature test that I've been getting all these years was still there. I lived in Los Angeles for years and none of the Mexican food I ate there even compares. In fact no type of food I've eaten anywhere in this country comes close to the taste that Los cocos delivers. Excellent meal. Every time.

    We stopped in for dinner while in town for a wedding. It was definitely worth it. I had the grilled chicken with onions and tomatoes. It was tender and flavorful. The husband had the taco plate. The wait staff were friendly and refilled our drinks quickly which is a big plus for us. Two thumbs up! We both left happy and stuffed.

    This is very bad Mexican food. If you are not a local of this small city I would recommend skipping this place

    I was in the area on business and stepped into the office where I had to go to and they all eating food from this place, I asked where was it from because it smelled great, the owner gave me directions and I headed right to there and ordered the chips and salsa, and for my entree I had a combo plate that had a wet burrito filled with chunks of really good tasting meat along with a enchilada, and a chicken taco. The salsa is served hot which was a nice surprise I only had the basic cold version everywhere else. It was very flavorful and after the very first taste I knew I was in for a made from scratch Mexican dinner that I wouldn't soon forget, and I am glad to say I was right. Everything was top notch I can hardly wait to head that way again cause I am going back.

    So I would probably not return to this restaurant next time I'm in town. First, they charge for chips and salsa and most good places that I go to,Mexican restaurants, don't. Second, the staff loves to communicate with each other by yelling across the dining area. They do this a lot and they are very loud. I ordered the ATW Nachos. There were hardly any chips with the dish and I never saw or heard my waiter again. The salsa was good and I believe homemade. The nachos were ok, but I would not recommend ordering. It does appear that others in the restaurant are enjoying their meals. The menu has very few choices.

    BEST Mexican food in town! Food is always delicious! My favorite is the steak fajita burrito. As someone who works in the food industry I can tell that they use good quality meats, vegetables, and cheese. None of that crappy fatty meat and oily cheese at this place. Staff is always quick and courteous. I also LOVE that the owner will often stop by the tables and even sit down and chat for a while with their regulars. Every time I am in town I make sure to stop by here. My cousin is a student at OHS and has told me how involved this place is with the community. I really like the the atmosphere as well. It's almost like you walked into someone's home. Very folky and eclectic and fun nick nacks. I just can't say enough about how much I love this place. I have NO clue what that guy is talking about when he said the food was bland! Anything but! Every dish I have tried has always been exploding with flavor. Every time I visit I make sure to buy some salsa and tortillas to take home! Great place!

    Pueblo viejo is off of 70 and was packed when i arrived. I went inside for the first time service was horrible! salsa tasted like it was from a can, chips tasted like they were from a bag. I got lots of reccomendations about los cocos, because everything was apparently "HOMEMADE." Chesse was melted, but cold. tortilla was stale, decor was discusting. The restaurant was like a toddler designed it and cooked the food! DO NOT COME TO THIS RESTAURANT!!!

    Seriously the best Nachos I've ever had in my entire life (And I live in LA, so that's saying a lot). Everything is homemade from scratch, and you can tell that the family that owns it puts a lot of heart and love into their food. I had the nachos and the chicken fajita salad (SO YUMMY!) all the fixings of a fajita sans tortilla (I felt guilty after the nachos :) ) To the gentleman complaining that his taco was 'soggy' if you prefer grade D dried out meat with no juice or flavoring at all I hear Taco Bell has something to offer that you may like. I love me some Los Cocos and I can't wait to have it again! :)

    Los Cocos has fallen off the __ (insert Spanish word for wagon). It used to be a highlight when I was in Chobee but now I rarely go. The food is bland and disappointing.

    BLAND MEXICAN FOOD IN OKEECHOBEE We drove from Orlando to Miami via Lake Okeechobee and stumbled onto this restaurant because it was in the GPS database. The restaurant was full of locals and they seemed to be enjoying the food. We were seated quickly and asked if we wanted chips and salsa. The waitress asked us if we wanted mild, medium, or hot salsa. We asked for hot and when we tasted the salsa we both looked at each other in amazement because it tasted like something out of a jar. Enchilada Plate We both ordered the enchilada plates and were disappointed. The plate had two enchiladas filled with chicken and covered in bright yellow cheese accompanied by rice and beans. It was very bland; I've had frozen Mexican food that tasted better.

    Los Cocos was always a stop when visiting my grandparents in Okeechobee. It's been a long time since they moved back down to Miami and a long time since eating at Los Cocos. But on a drive through Okeechobee we just had to stop. Three types of salsa (mild, hot and woo hoo tomatillo hot yumminess!) are delicious. They charge for the chips and salsa which is odd, but they're a small restaurant in a small town so you let it go - (it's like $1.10). I had the "wet combo" which included a wet burrito, enchilada, taco, refried beans and rice. He had chicken and steak fajitas which came with your choice of corn or flour tortillas, a salad, refried beans and rice. They give you your choice of hamburger meat, steak or chicken. This food is so delicious. It is fresh and homemade. They get it out to you quickly. One thing that drives me crazy about fajitas is they bring it to you and they are sizzling on that plate. Then you get all the smoke headed right towards you and now you smell like food. They bring it on a plate - no sizzle! woo hoo! This made me very happy. They serve you quickly and the food is not expensive. Two of us ate for $27 - LOTS of food!!! The staff is friendly and attentive. This is a favorite for the locals and the staff knows them by name. Ample parking in their parking lot or on the street (no parking meters in Okeechobee!). If you're visiting Okeechobee or just passing through, this is a great place to stop for lunch or dinner. One thing - I think they are closed on Sundays - maybe Mondays too!

    The choices are slim for restaurants in Okeechobee. Los Cocos was crowded with locals and the wait staff was very attentive and pleasant. The food was mediocre at best. Standard, strip-mall Mexican food with dry, reheated rice and canned refried beans. The tacos were soggy.

Mexican Cuisine

If you enjoy Taco Tuesday, then you have officially fallen in love with the Mexican Food. The main grain of Mexican cuisine is maize. Also known as corn, maize is grown for the past 9000 years after the crop was discovered by the people in Mayan civilization. Mexican empire flourished when they started growing beans, tomatoes, chili pepper, sweet potato and cactus. Till this date these ingredients are used in cooking authentic Mexican dishes and drinks.

Great use of spices, fresh chili pepper dishes like fajitas, tortilla chips, corn chips, salsa, chimichangas, burritos, nachos and quesadillas are invented in America. But when you are looking for authentic Mexican food then you must find a restaurant in the city that serves Rajas con Queso, Garbanzo in a Guajillo Chile Sauce, Pork Filled Chiles Rellenos, Chiles en Nogada, Molcajete Salsa, Pico de Gallo and Frijoles de la Olla. An eye-opening fact – Mexican don't like their food hot. They use fresh chili and other spices to create a flavor that lingers in your mouth.

Mexican food is great for those who are Gluten Intolerant as they use Corn instead of wheat in most of their dishes. Also, you can easily find many beans based Mexican dishes. Another dish which didn't get similar glory as tacos or nachos is the Mexican hot chocolate. If you love something hot on a chilly day, then go for Mexican Hot Chocolate. On merry days, you can enjoy the authentic Mexican Drinks like Tequila, Mezcal, Tecuí, Sotol, Bacanora, Charanda, Posh O Pox, Puebla and Pulque. Mexican Cuisine is for people who enjoy strong drinks and hearty meals.
