There was nice music which Made for a great dinner and place to watch the amazing sunset! The passion fruit juice was very good! We had guacamole and chips and... More

We enjoyed Coco Loco so much that we ate there for lunch 3 days in a row. My 10-year-old loved the fruit smoothies, peel-and-eat shrimp and brownie desert. I had the mixed ceviche, burger, and tuna tacos, which were all very good. Wife had the salads (liked the hearts of palm salad the best). Service was prompt/friendly (although we were... More

Our group stayed at 2 of the rentals right next to Coco Loco. We very much enjoyed the casual beach setting. The wait staff was very friendly and after we had been there awhile they even brought drinks over to our rentals for us :) I read some previous posts about people complaining that the service was slower but I...

The sunsets are unbelievable and the settings is muy romantic. We loved being able to eat by tiki torch with our feet in the sand. And, our kids loved being able to play in the sand while we enjoyed a leisurely dinner. Comparably, the prices were very affordable. The food and service....hmmmm....they were up and down. The first night we... More

Walked to Coco Loco from Flamingo Beach Resort and Spa, an easy 10 minute walk. With tables right on the beach, the view is very picturesque. It started well with a Coco Loco (coconut shell) drink for me and Miami Vice for my wife that were both tasty. But things quickly went downhill from there. My fish Caesar wrap was... More

Great little spot on Flamingo beach. Fabrizo brought out the best guacamole and salsa and home made chips. My kids liked the grilled chicken sandwich with Brie and apples, my husband had the tempura seabass and I had a delicious salad with avocados,tomatoes, and a little bacon. We will definitely go back to sip cool drinks under the umbrellas at... More

The service at this small beachside restaurant was poor. We didn't get our order taken for 15-20 minutes; the table and chairs were a bit off kilter because of the sand; when we finished our drinks, no one came to give us the check. When we finally got the check we had to cross the street to the actual bar... More
