" Had a lovely evening! The seafood was fresh, and the presentation was beautiful! Try the aguachile, it’s one of the best I’ve had! Our waitress was adorable and provided us with excellent service. I've seen a few reviews about the noise level, and I can agree it's a little loud, but it felt lively and fun. Definitely plan to visit again! " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely loved the experience! The restaurant is vibrant and filled with life! The aguachile was incredibly refreshing, it just hits the spot on a hot day. I was a bit overwhelmed with choices on the menu but everything sounded equally delicious. Our waitress was very helpful and recommended some of her favorites, which I wholeheartedly appreciated. I definitely recommend this place for anyone looking for quality seafood! " (*Curated Review*)

" This was a highly recommended place, but I had some issues. Although the sushi was unique, it suffered from not being as fresh as I hoped. The service was inconsistent—some staff members were super friendly while others seemed disengaged. It might just be a matter of timing when you go, but I will think twice before returning. I expected so much more given the hype. " (*Curated Review*)

" El Coco Pirata! Where do I begin? This place is a hidden gem if you ask me. The vibe is casual yet inviting, perfect for a fun night out. We went for dinner and the sushi and drinks were definitely the stars of the night. The michelada was zesty and spicy—exactly how I like it. Just a little disappointed in the service; it felt a tad slow during peak hours. Nonetheless, I can definitely see myself returning on a quieter night! " (*Curated Review*)

" Service was solid, but I found the cuisine lacked the authenticity I was hoping for. The chips weren’t fresh and the food felt rushed. However, I will commend the friendly staff who did their best to accommodate us. The music was much louder than I would have liked which made it difficult to enjoy our meal. I would consider giving it another try, though. " (*Curated Review*)

" El Coco Pirata is a delightful discovery! The place was buzzing and filled with a great energy. We sampled several dishes, and the freshness was definitely a highlight. The macadamia roll, in particular, was unlike anything else I've had—it was refreshing and delicious! The portions were generous. Our waitress was enthusiastic and provided great service despite the busyness of the restaurant. I can’t wait to visit again! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a charming place! The seafood did not disappoint, with each dish prepared with a clear attention to detail. The sushi was notably fresh, vibrant, and paired creative ingredients. The atmosphere is colorful and inviting. However, the music was uncomfortably loud, making it hard to converse. The staff were sweet and attentive, though, so I overlook this minor annoyance. I’ll surely return for another sushi night soon! " (*Curated Review*)
