We have hired El Cokito for 2 parties and they are wonderful! The food was amazing and Miguel is incredible to work with! Will definitely use them again!
I have been here only a few times in the last couple of years and the food is awesome! Huaraches are one of my favorite Mexican dishes and they have them! The salsas are different with good flavor and spicy. I definitely recommend it. Also inexpensive and good service. Very nice little spot
Horrible service, horrible location, and low quantity of food. For starters, there is no room to park anywhere so you have to park a block away and risk getting towed. If you are lucky enough to find parking on location you risk getting boxed in and having to ask random people that are dining there to move out of your way so you can leave. Secondly, be prepared to repeat yourself because the staff is sloppy. My boyfriend speaks fluent Spanish from Mexico and even he had to repeat himself multiple times to different members of staff when we were trying to order. Lastly, when the food arrived they gave us barley any meat on our tacos as well as low quantity’s of meat on other common Mexican Dishes. It really sucks when you pay $50 for dinner and you leave still hungry. My boyfriend’s mother ordered takeout for some reason and I attached a photo showing a very thin layer of meat and greens on the extra stuff we took home. Overall we ended up basically getting scammed out of $50 for plain bread. Please save your time, gas, and money by avoiding this place at all costs. If you drive in any direction a little further down the road you can eat a lot better and cheaper.
Several times I have bought slices of mocha cake and a few times they were bad. Bought one yesterday and didn't get a chance to eat until today, it smelled bad and tasted sour and they're not exactly cheap, $4.50 a slice. I know they don't make them but they sell them and should be careful in how long they keep them.
So I've been going here since I moved to Elgin 2020. The food is great. The prices are contantly changing and increasing and they dont show the actual prices of the indivisual food items, sometimes getting a taco dinner and drink is 15 and recently its been 20 plus dollars. They will tell you how much your order is but when u get the recipes its got like 2 to 3 extra dollars added to it. A particular female server there I tipped her lots of money personally because she always looked so tired and she worked hard. They have inside seating and a small outside seating. Regardless of which server I've been served inside and outside with and without friends. Tell me why today I asked if my friend and i could be served outside and she said idk and I repeated the question again and she said idk but gave me the menus to look at. I took them and we knew what we wanted but she never came out. We waited for like 20 mins thinking they must be busy, till I realized she wasn't going to come out. I went in and ordered and said it's for here and outside she had a bad additude, so I didn't tip. We waited for another 20 minutes for our food only for her to stand in the window and rudely jerk her finger at me to come in. I went in and she said you can take your dishes outside and stood there staring. My friend and I had to tote our food outside back and forth while she stood there glaring at me for which I have no idea why. When we had our last dish her daughter who sits up in the front and usually ignores me like she cant speak english when i always try to order from her spoke English for her mother and said that they don't serve outside. She is the same server I personally tipped alot of money many times in the passed. I feel highly disrespected and degraded. I'm not sure I will go there again. If your not mexican I don't recommend it. I do think their racist.
Food is great. But the air circulation inside while eating is not fun. It's way too hot to eat inside during hot summer days. This restaurant needs a bigger parking lot and an updated central air system.Food: 5/5
Carne asada, chile relleno and chicharron tacos, so delicious and the salsas to give it a kick. Prices are very reasonable. Restaurant is small, get packed quick and very warm inside.
We used them for a party of 100. Everyone raved about the food. Very accommodating and easy to work with. We went to a party the previous year and they did a fabulous job there also. The biggest compliment was from friends who grew up eating authentic Mexican food, and loved it.
I lived in Mexico for 4 years and this is exactly what real Mexican Tacos taste like. Good service and even more importantly, good prices too!
Used to be my favorite but I can’t handle having a craving and not wanting to wait in the tiny bldg so calling ahead for them not to answer the phone. It happened too many times I’m over it. How do you run a business like that that. Their steak is good I guess lmao.
