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.

I am very disappointed at the management in this establishment. Here is why! I bought a tortilla soup from them in the morning. It was awesome. It really hit the spot, being sick and all it was just what I was hoping for. I had just moved into the neighborhood and by chance happen to pick the nearest Mexican resteraunt. I was so pleased and excited that I had found a place that was conveniently around the corner. I decided to go back in the evening to get the same soup. When I got home I realized that they gave me the soup in a 20 oz. cup instead of the 32 oz cup they gave me earlier. I paid 6.48 both times I went and got way less the second time around. When I called them to let them know I got the wrong size they told me that it was the large size. I told them they were mistaken and I had the container still of the first time I went. I was willing to show them proof. I was not rude and I just wanted what I paid for the first time. They became very rude and refused to do anything about there mistake. They told me they were closing and that there was no chance of a refund or the proper sized soup. I told them I would be there in the morning to try to get this resolved and there reply was " well good luck". It's pretty sad because they could've had a costumer for life. This didn't have to happen. They didn't have to be so rude. I just don't understand why a resteraunt owner or manager would not even have the decency to do the right thing by the costumer. I will never go back there again because of there blatantly rude attitude towards costumer complaints.

This place if fantastic and for a great price! The service is always great. I've had many different entree's here, and have never been let down. You have full view of the Fruteria from the inside and watch as they make the fruit cups. Love the authenic mexican candies. This place is very clean and well kept. I highly recommend!
(5)Carlos J.
I've only had a few of the mini tacos from here - they're freakin' awesome! Reminds me of the deliciosos I used to get in Mexico City!
(5)Katie B.
I was ssssooooooooooooooooooooo impressed! The service was excellent, the fruit water was nothing like I have ever had, and the tacos were cheap. If I hadn't read about this place ahead of time I wouldn't have known what to expect, but I did and I was not let down. My only suggestion is on a cold day don't sit by the employees only door. I made sure to get away from the main entrance just to sit by that door and every time it opened a gust of cold air came through.

Being that San Antonio is best known for its Tex-Mex foods it is very difficult to find authentic Mexican food!!! But this place has it and it is very yummy!!! The best part is that it has a wide variety of foods including seafood and fruit cups!!! The wait staff is friendly and tries to work with you if you don't speak Spanish. The fruit cups are the best!!! As well as the tortas and caldos! They usually have specials of the day as well!!! Over all this place is the best Mexican restaurant in San Antonio for an affordable price!
(5)Ruth V.
Super-friendly people, and completely packed in the middle of the afternoon. It's a sit-down restaurant, but I came here to get some takeout tacos for my elderly aunties. El Pastor were fabulous! Had a paleta while I waited. Also the tamales are quite good - we had pork - they are huge, wrapped in banana leaves. Definitely worth a repeat trip.
(4)Eve F.
Stopped here from a road trip... Everything was great. We had tacos, menudo other stuff.... It was good. Authentic Mexican!
(5)Adrian B.
I love this place for it's authenticity! This restaurant seems to have been magically placed from a corner street in Mexico to San Antonio, c'mon the waitresses there barely speak English. I love seafood from Mexico, its an acquired taste and look, but this place has great Mexican seafood. It has other great entrees and the fruit is really sweet... I really wish I lived near this place... I usually spend under $10 when I go.
(5)Charlie H.
THE PLACE TO BE for bad service and discrimination. Guerro BEWARE! - Last evenings experience finished it for me. As with a previous visit dined with my Mexican friend. While attention was lavished on my guest I could barely get eye contact. And. as with a previous visit, my food was not delivered until well after my guest was completed with his meal. Upon being served I asked for a box to package mine to take home and was thrown a styrofoam container. Guess I was supposed to scoop this up with my hands? - Didn't touch the food, paid the check and left. Tip left = 0. Would I ever return or recommend? - Are you kidding?
(1)Garnier J.
I had lunch here with my husband today. I loved it. The prices are very good and the food is very tasty. The eating area is very clean and festive. The vibrant colors and music playing in the background really makes you believe that you are in Mexico. I'm especially glad that the menu is in both English and Spanish and the waitresses speak both languages. I'm planning on going back soon to try their smoothies.
(5)Ambrose D.
What an interesting combination! It's a fruit stand and restaurant combined. The food was excellent, the portions generous, and the fruit was ripe. Go experience it!
(4)Neal Gone Daddy H.
we stopped here on a cross country trip. menudo was really good, so was the whole grilled fish. friendly atmosphere. hope i can find a place like this closer to home
(5)Rafael G.
Killer fruit cups, no problem doing special orders. The aguas frescas are always good, this is one of the only places that has a pineapple agua, but it has too much pulp.
(5)Jasmin A.
Delicious :) I got the corn in a cup and mangonada, both were yummy! :) not the "cleanest" (health wise, like clean eating) or healthiest things on earth but you don't go here for that, this is a place you go to treat yourself every now and then :)) I'm planning on going back and enjoying more treats :) I would recommend for people to come here for sure :) Appreciate the service.
(5)Jeremy T.
I make it a point to come here everytime I visit SA. They have a walk up window where you can order to go, or sit on the benches, or if it's too hot, you can go inside and sit inside the restaurant. I always order either a mixed fruit cup or an aqua fresca. If you don't like a single fruit cup or a mixed one, they will customize one for you for no extra charge. Both the melon and Sandia aquas are really good. If you're really thirsty, one of the best deals is to just order a gallon of Agua fresca for $6.50. Prices here are very reasonable and their location is pretty convenient to wherever my hotel usually is. I have yet to try any of the hot food, but I will one day soon.
(4)Russ F.
Stopped in here for a quick snack while over on the west side. Its seat yourself but we were greeted quickly by a waiter carrying chips and salsa. Chips were standard, salsa was tasty with a little heat. Ordered a cup of cucumber & a cup of coconut. So much coconut & cucumber for $2.85. Might be cheaper to buy coconut here than HEB because they skin and husk it for you. Also got some horchata (delicious) and a mango aguas frescas. I think they gave me melon instead, which was sort of disappointing. Overall still good. Great value for the price too. I saw some of the food plates go by and they definitely have huge portions, will be back to try breakfast or lunch/dinner foods.
(4)Bridget W.
I really want to love the hype more, but I just think this place is alright. Food is decent but not amazing. The highlights: elotes (corn in a cup) and aguas frescas. I think the day I tried the fruit cup... it just wasn't fresh fruit. I originally got one with just coconut but the coconut was just inedible/way too hard to eat. I really tried. Ended up getting a second fruit cup, which was better but still had to skip the coconut. :( It was really disappointing. The ambiance is really casual and laid back. You seat yourself. The service is fast, if not a little too fast. The service is friendly but a little aggressive in terms of getting your order and pushing you along. I'm not quite ready to order my meal along with my drinks. The menu is huge! Food comes out pretty quickly. And whenever you're done, you pay at the counter. I'd still come back again. It's not my favorite Mexican place in SA, but I'd recommend to give it a try!
(3)Andy L.
I thought the raspados would be all that, dissapointed. Very artificial tasting (had the vanilla and also a coconut flavor raspado). I asked for a Chocoflan and they were out.... =(
(2)Ruth B.
Loooooove this place! One of the few places I frequent when I visit San Antonio. The service is no frills but they more than make up for it with their quality of food. I would suggest getting the Chicken Tortilla soup, horchata and anything from the fruteria side.
(5)Kev L.
Los Cocos is a true authentic Mexican restaurant. Love the decor and the layout of the place. It reminds me of all the awesome local restaurants we visited in Mexico. Started off with mango and watermelon drink as It was freshly juiced. For an entree, I ordered Plato A La Mexicana. The plate was tasty yet with a spiciness to it. Had I understood Spanish, I would have properly ordered something non-spicy. Boy my month was on fire!!! Those chopped jalapeño got me all sweating up. Had to order a fruit plate to neutralize my burning tongue. I highly recommended this joint as everything is authentically made plus they are reasonably priced! Paid only $13 for all three things.
(5)Tomas R.
This is one of my go-to spots for an Agua Fresca (fresh fruit water), fruit cups, or an Elote (corn in a cup). This place is really laid back and has a casual setting. I love coming here during the summer and sitting outside with an Agua de Melon (melon water). What really makes this place stand out is all these items and more are available at their take-out window. They have such a huge assortment of Agua Frescas that you will not be disappointed! Los Cocos is also a full size restaurant if you are wanting to get your fix of tortas, street-style tacos, and plenty of Mexican food plates. Been a fan of this place since my college days at StMU and is always worth the trip in my eyes.
(4)Kyle W.
This was a great spot to get authentic Mexican food. Be sure to get their fruit drinks, I had the pineapple and it was super good! I had the enchiladas and 5 open tacos. I almost always will prefer open tacos and this was not an exception. This cantina is nicer than most Mexican spots. I'll be back.
(4)Sandy N.
Friendly service. Big sitting area. The food was okay, not blown away. The restrooms were disgusting.
(3)Andrew B.
The fruit tasted old and the fruit/fruit cups on display were covered in flies. Yeah no a restaurant full of flies is not my kind of dining experience.
(1)Denise F.
This place is so good, I've come 4 times during this month. The prices are super affordable and the quality of service is what you get at a 5 star restaurant. Only downsides- the smell as you walk in, the place is not that good looking, and that one day I was served old meat. But the corn, the frutas and tortas are exquisite.
(5)Ivy T.
Craving some fruits and elotes. My fiancé got the elotes with everything served, then I got the fruit cup with watermelon, cantaloupe, and pineapple. Had some honey, chamoy, and lime juice squeezed on top. Refreshing and a good mid-day snack!
(4)Jane T.
I have not been this full in a long time! Everything we ordered so good; food was delicious, authentic and fresh! The mango water, tortilla soup and barbacoa taco are all musts!
(5)Joey P.
Yeah, I'm a fan, the only complaint I have is that the fruit could have been waaayyy colder. The mango was all melty and the other fruits (pineapple, watermelon, cucumber) were warm. Also, they gave me jicama even though I didn't ask for it. Service was superb, our waitress was extremely friendly and very helpful. It might have helped that I was speaking to her in Spanish so if you only speak English, you're on your own on that one right there lol. The interior and exterior appeared to be very clean and I found it to be extremely GENIUS that they've got an outside seating area in addition to the dining room (which easily houses at least 20 tables). They've also got this neat water cooling system that sprinkles on patrons below to keep them cool during this punishing Texas heat! My mini taquitos included very generous portions of bistec!!! I was able to transform my 5 mini taquitos into 10 (because of the double corn tortilla and how stuffed they were with meat). I highly recommend their carne guisada and pastor tacos on flour tortillas, and the quesadilla with meat was very tasty as well. To top everything off we had a mango agua fresca, which had an interesting flavor, but was still good. Although I went with a Groupon, I can hardly see this place breaking your bank with very affordable prices such as theirs. If you plan on going with someone who is going to choose the same fruits as you, I would recommend selecting their $4 fruit cup. It's much bigger and only a little over a dollar more than the smaller fruit cups. We will definitely be back for a second round!
(3)Christina C.
Los Cocos isn't in the greatest of areas, it's not in the barrio but rather close. Worth it though because it is a serious contender for the best mexican food I've ever had! So I was suffering from one of those hangovers that only a watermelon agua fresca can cure, for a brief moment I almost only ordered that at their little outside kiosk window, but something about the grilled meat smell and the fact that I saw they had corn in a cup (elote for lazies) made me walk into the restaurant area. It looks like a typical lunch restaurant in Mexico; tables are tacky simple, walls have no actual theme to their hand painted details (picures of fruit, agua fresca, the cheetos cheetah), little hut in the middle as a cashier station, and a Spanish crooner with a guitar even popped up for a song. The salsa that came with the chips I wanted to drink with a straw, it was so fresh with a wonderful roasted spiciness. Watermelon agua fresca saved my life, I'll never complain that it's too sweet even if it is. The last time i had elote was more than a decade ago, and although the husband called it "funky," it's one of those nostalgic snacks that just put me in a good mood. The al pastor mini tacos were perfectly marinated and rather heavy on the meat as well as the obligatory onions, cilantro and lime. Husband got the pollo enchiladas verdes which were absolutely amazing, right amount of cheese, stuffed with tons of chicken, enchilada sauce was perfect. Portions are big, prices are low, service is quick, food is delicious!

Now as the duchess of Los Cocos, I feel I am obligated to write this place a review, lol. So here it goes. I had never stopped by this particular establishment even though it is super close to work. That's probably because I was never interested in Mexican food much. Apparently my coworkers have been coming here for fruit cups for a long time. I didn't know that until recently Yelp suggested that this nearby restaurant had almost perfect ratings. So I was like what the heck I will try it out. So I did. The first time, I got the watermelon aqua fresca. I love fruits, I am not gonna lie. Fresh fruit water in a hot summer day? What's better than that?! I give the Watermelon aqua fresca a 7/10. It was good but I felt it could be more fresh. So I stopped by again the following day to try the mango one. This time, it gets a 9/10 from me. It was almost perfect, I loved it! While waiting for my drink, I grabbed a menu to look at. Man, they have shrimp cocktails! I love seafood. So I decided that I have to come try their lunch. I finally came in during lunch time with a coworker. I got the shrimp cocktail and a tortilla soup which I saw good reviews on Yelp. Our server was very nice and the service was fast. But she did forget my friend's salad. Anyways, we both agree the tortilla soup was very good. I mean very very good. I got the small but it was definitely big enough to eat as a meal. My friend got a large and she didn't even finish half of it. My shrimp cocktail was decent. I think the shrimps could definitely be more fresh. Since SA is not a coastal city, I won't be too hard here. But I have to say the cocktail sauce was perfect. It has cilantro (another favorite of mine), avocado and other seasoning in it. It was very delicious and full of flavors. I ordered the small but the portion was pretty generous. I didn't finish it so I took the rest home. Overall, my experience at Los Cocos was very positive. Any place that serves both seafood and fresh fruits rocks. I have yet to try their famous fruit cups. But rest assured that I will be back soon. In sum, I approve Los Cocos and this message! - the duchess
(4)Carlos T.
Fresh fruit cannot be beat. Mangonadas too. Corn in a cup. Chicharones. Aguas frescas. By the cup or bowl, it is all amazing and prices are reasonable. Now the food is just okay, restaurant is clean, service in restaurant is pretty good. Bowls are good for parties or get togethers.
(4)Diana R.
The food is fantastic. While the fajitas are pretty standard the rice and beans are superb. The fresh corn tortillas are soft and flavorful. Our server and the cashier were both friendly. The only negative thing is a slight sewage smell when you first walk in. Also be sure to try an Agua fresca they're fresh and if they add sugar you can't even tell. It has the perfect sweetness.
(5)John H.
Oh my God so amazing! To fully appreciate the wonder of Los Cocos Fruteria, go out and do some physical activity on a hot day, then come in for some agua fresca and fruit cups. The taqueria menu is VERY broad, hitting on everything from traditional plates to seafood to breakfast and American fare. Be sure to come hungry because the portions are large and all homemade. This place goes far above and beyond the average Fruteria and far deeper than the average Taqueria. If you live in SA, you absolutely have to stop in and see what you're missing at the other places.
(5)Kevin P.
We looked this place up while in San Antonio.The Yelp reviews put it at the top of the list for good tacos.A few miles from the hotel so we were there in a few minutes.It is the kind of Mexican restaurant I prefer,simple and the real stuff.We all had the mini tacos.El Pastor,barbacoa and fajita I believe.It was good not great but better than my experiences with the Tex-Mex tourist spots on the riverwalk.They have many other options and also fruit drinks that we planned on going back for later but never made it,I am sure they were good judging by the others eating them.I would say give this place a try and I never recommend the tourist traps on the Riverwalk.
(3)Samuel G.
This place is friendly, efficient & clean. BUT the food is the star! It's great tasting and ample portions! Sopa de fideo with every plate!! And again, make room for their fruit cups! So many choices. Yum! Yum! Yum! Keeps us coming back time after time!
(5)Robert B.
We tried this place today , Good food there! Good service, nice quiet place
(4)Khoa N.
The service here was great! A mob of 20 of us overtook the restaurant and they didn't even falter. Staff was quick, responsive, and enthusiastic to our requests. We added tip and they gave it back to is and told us to remove it because it was already included on the bill. The honesty they displayed made me want to be a regular!! Btw food was absolutely authentic!
(5)Alisa C.
We have been to this location several times and have always had great things to say, but now it's not good. We went for breakfast on a Saturday morning before going to Seaworld. There were 9 total in the party. The waitress was very attentive. The problem was the food. My son ordered egg and potato taco, there was a long black hair in the eggs. The waitress apologized and returned with a fresh order, but of course my son didn't want to eat it. My food arrived and I ordered the pork chop with eggs and potatoes. The first thing was the odor my son immediately said "what's is that terrible smell?" It was the pork chop the meat was spoiled. The cooked odor was horrible. I don't understand how the chef did not smell it as soon as it was removed from the fridge. I cook at home and you can tell instantly that meat has turned bad. Why would a restaurant take a chance at food poisoning??? As I mentioned before we have been several times to this restaurant I am very sad that this happened but we will not return.
(1)Sandra G.
The food was awesome our waiter was on top of everything he was really nice and always checking on us. But one star comes off because they gave spoiled cheese on my chile relleno plate but my waiter apologized took it off our tap and asked if I wanted it redone or some thing else so I had their street tacos which were better. Over all everything was great. We would go back again.
(4)laura w.
Have stopped her to refill my water bottle numerous times on bike rides, they are super polite and usually give me ice water from a pitcher. Saw a groupon and decided since the parking lot is nearly ALWAYS full and the yelp reviews were mostly raving i'd give it a try. I think i got the wrong thing. I'm from SA and should know better than to get fried seafood at a mexican restaurant but i've been surprised before. my son said the gorditas were ok and the tortillas were awesome. there wasn't queso on the menu but we asked and it was that stadium nacho stuff, live and learn, it was also $1, so... service was excellent and waiter was super nice
(3)Kara T.
This place is a bit hard to find because there aren't any big signs that let you know you've found it, but I guarantee it's worth it. I have been coming here for four years since I go to school near by and I have never been disappointed with the quality of fruit cups. Being from south Texas, I have experienced the best fruit cups and snacks but this place definitely holds it's weight. The staff is friendly and I love coming here. The mango and strawberry cup is my favorite!!
(5)Liezl F.
This place is great! The tortilla soup is amazing, they say it had chicken in it but I'm convinced it's beef. Either way, the soup was fantastic! The corn in a cup - yum! The shrimp cocktail was also good, but I would say that the biggest drawback to the whole experience was that this place does not de-vein their shrimp (ew!) but I toughed it out and ate it anyway. Although I couldn't finish it because the whole thought of eating shrimp with the veins intact got to me =/ For dessert, I had the strawberries and cream. It was tasty but if it were ever possible for strawberries to be too ripe, this was it. The portion is large, maybe too large. But you best believe I tore it up.
(4)Juan M.
Came back from Korea and virginia this the best I have had north of the valley in Texas. Great food and great fruit. Will definitely come back here.
(5)CJ A.
Visiting Texas, saw a line and decided to stop to check it out. We got the mixed fruit with the works and very delicious! The cup of corn was good too. We also stopped for Menudo on Sunday, we were little skeptical but ordering menudo is a hit or miss well it was a hit!! If I go back to Texas that's the spot I still go again! !
(5)Estefan O.
I can't say enough about this place. The food is amazing, the portions are large and the prices are great. I've always had wonderful customer service here and never walked away disappointed. I highly recommend the Los Cocos Plate since that has a nice variety of what they have to offer. A personal favorite of mine that they have available at the Fruteria is the Mangonada. It's frozen mango pulp and chamoy, so if you're a fat Mexican kid at heart like I am, it will change your life. Do it. Stop reading this and head there right now. YOU'RE STILL HERE??? Go!!!!
(5)Roland C.
If you visit this place, the food is great, the lemonade is perfect, and ask to sit in Alex's area. He's a great waiter. Always takes great care of me.
(5)Crystal A.
LOVE. LOVE. LOVE. this place. Good food. Large plates. Spacious. Great for taking the entire family out for breakfast- lunch- or Dinner. I wish I could have tried their raspados but brunch did not leave me much room for a side of dessert. The services was prompt and friendly. Every on the menu looked delicious. My favorite was the rice and beans, yes I know, simple sides, but utterly delicious.
(5)Rebecca E.
A delightful treat! We bought Groupons for several SA restaurants in preparation for our trip while visiting here for a week, and this was one of the best purchases. The staff was very friendly. The food was delicious and came out super fast! The horchata was perfect. We had a great experience.
(5)Sharon V.
Service was great = 3 stars BUT the food was bland. I ordered the shrimp wrapped in bacon and all I could taste is the salty bacon. They were extremely greasy too. The rice was ok, the French fries were also ok. My husband ordered the caldo de pescado and he said it tasted like water. He's not as picky as I am so for him not to like it, meant it wasn't good. Not too happy since I found this place through yelp... Because of the reviews, I expected more. So disappointed.
(3)Farooq M.
Stopped by late one evening and was surprised at the quality of the fruit cups and the aguafrescas. I had the pineapple and it was excellent. Prices are cheap and the fruits were cold when I was here. Had a raspa to finish it off also a solid experience. All in less than 10 dollars spent. Havent tried their actual cooked food items yet, but looking forward to going back and giving them a shot. BL: recommended. fruit cups and aguafrescas are solid.
(4)Food Finder Q.
Sea foof it's kind of expensive, quesadillas con carne are like piece of heaven, great sauce with chips at the table, good flavored water and my husband loved the shrimp with garlic that comes with a pescado soup.
(4)Beangirl C.
The menudo is super delicious! Be wary though, because (and i've never had this before) it did contain bones! So don't bite down too hard or you'll get a cracked tooth! We went last night and i had the mini tacos and ordered horchata to drink...waaagghh, was not impressed. I've had better horchata at other places. Overall, the chips and salsa are fresh, the tea is delicious but their menudo is great! and great flour tortillas, too!
(4)Luis G.
Los Cocos is a nice little mexican restaurant that is traditional for the area. The food is traditional northern Mexico. It always helps to know a little Spanish. The cute waiteress primarily speak Spanish. The food is good but the restaurant is a bit nosey.
(4)Anna Marie S.
Great selection of mexican food, especially the seafood. The aqua frescas are large and very delicious. The soups are meals themselves. And if you need your food faster, they have a to go window right next to the restaurant, which has been busy every time I've eaten there.
(4)Valerie S.
The food was very bland. I ordered the chicken fajitas and they were very dry and lacked flavor. The rice could have used more seasoning as well. The beans were actually the only good thing about the meal. I would rather save my money and my taste buds for a real authentic Mexican restaurant.
(3)Gabby G.
I tried the Tortilla soup and it was so good! Chicken quesadillas were great. The beans are awesome, full of flavor and they reminded me of my moms beans. Had some on a freshly made flour tortilla. Fajita nachos were very good. The Agua de mango and Melon are perfect. The tamal was ok. Not very much flavor. Server was very friendly.
(4)Lori E.
Juicy, fresh fruit...very reasonable :D
(5)Ginger F.
This was a fun trip! And the fruit cups were YUMMY! I had never experienced the chile-limon-fruit combination and my kids and I were pleasantly surprised! Who knew?! Strawberries, mangoes and coconut are even tastier this way! The beef tacos were also delicious and seemed VERY authentic. In fact, everything about this place felt very authentic! I was transported back to a small, off the beaten path family style cafe in Mexico! When you go, make sure you bring quarters for the kids... there is a wall of candy machines of all shapes, sizes and colors that are like crack for kids! Lots of fun! Side note: I also tried the "corn in a cup." I was intrigued, then repulsed, then intrigued again by this concoction. It was good, but weird. While my kids and I couldn't decide if we loved it or hated it, we could tell that it was a definite Mexican "comfort food" kind of dish, which I totally respect. So if you're curious, try it! Who knows, you may love it.
(4)Jon T.
Ms T found Los Cocos and it looked good on Yelp. We went for dinner on a Monday night and they were not busy so we practically had our own waiter. This was a very good meal and while it is not a little hole in the wall taqueria, it certainly met our expectations. Tacos de Lengua - the lengua did not have any salt cooked in, otherwise OK Tacos al Pastor - very good, grilled with a crust, good chile flavors and proper salt. I do not know if they have it on a trompo, probably not, but this was the best I have had outside of Mexico City. Tacos de Carne y Chorizo - the steak was nicely grilled and the chorizo was very good with a hint of cinnamon Tacos de Cabeza - Them eat is rich, soft and unctuous. This is so rich, I can't imagine eating more than one, but it is very good. Tacos de Carne Guisada - this looks like a curry with a thick red sauce that is interesting in flavor. The meat is red with annatto and very tender The tacos are large and a bargain at $1.50. Somehow I ate four. The guacamole is made the way it is done in Mexico with limited lime juice and very good avocados. Ms T's enchiladas were decent. The cheese enchilada was surprisingly made with orange cheese. The beef enchilada was made with potato, carrots and green chile. The enchilada sauce was like the sauce on the carne guisado. The beans (smoky and rich) were excellent as was the rice. I would go back here for tacos any time. I kind of wish they made the smaller size tacos so you can try more things without ending up with so much food. The four I had was twice the food I needed. This is a good place.

The food isn't the best and when we dined in with our Groupon; we were told that we weren't allowed to take our leftover food home. When I inquired about it when checking out; the cashier stated it wasn't up to them and put the blame on "Groupon" along with their rules. "The Fine Print: Expires 90 days after purchase. Limit 1 per person, may buy 1 additional as a gift. Valid only for option purchased. Limit 1 per visit. Limit 1 per table. Limit 1 per group. Dine-in only. Not valid on to-go orders. Not valid for lunch specials." No where does it say that you are not allowed to take your dine-in leftover food home. WHAT A SHAME, I'M GUESSING THEY REUSE WHAT WASN'T EATEN OFF THE PLATES!!!!! Other places such as Ruby Tuesdays, Fox & The Hound, and Tink-A-Taco let us take doggy bags home even when paying with a Groupon. I am upset that the employees lie and force you to order $20 worth of food not including tax; then deny you the opportunity to take your eaten food home. Hope everyone else has a better experience.

The horchata was good but I was extremely disappointed with the food. The Chile relleno de queso did not taste right at all, corn tortillas were homemade but not very good. Service was good but overall it's not enough to get me to come back. Never mind on the service, we couldn't get any refills at our table.

We had a wonderful experience!! The service was great and our waiter was really nice. He brought out chips and salsa right away! The food was excellent! We ordered the lambada and it was amazing! We went with a Groupon and it was great. We can't eat pork so they were very courteous and understanding about everything. The prices are also very affordable!

Yummy...great food at an even better value. Service is very good and the atmosphere is pleasant and clean. I had the enchilada sampler and loved it. A new favorite eatery for years to come. 5 Stars.

Mmmm.....Ahh.... ...are the sounds I make when I take a sip of their delicious aqua fresca! On a hot day, I am determined to get some of that delicious watermelon aqua fresca. I haven't tried many of their food items other than the fruit cups, smoothies and the most delicious, refreshing aqua fresca. EVER. It is not overly sweet and with every sip, you get a little of the fruit with it. Purely delicious. They offer a variety of flavors but my favorites are the watermelon, cantaloupe, and mango. Now that the Texas heat is returning, be sure to hydrate yourself with some healthy, thrist-quenching aqua fresca!

Ok I was not impressed with the green enchiladas. They added something to the meet that ruined that the main part. The guacamole and beans are really good. The restaurant and bathrooms are clean. The service is good and fast. You can see the kitchen from most tables.

Food - 5/5 Service - 5/5 Price - 5/5 Atmosphere - 4/5 Best Dish: Fruit Cups It took two years of continuously hearing about Los Cocos from co-workers and classmates before I decided to try this place out. I've yet to have the tacos but I don't see why I would ever need to. The fruit cups here are simply amazing and more than enough to satisfy my taste buds. For the selection of fruits, they offer any combination of: mangos, pineapples, cucumbers, strawberries, coconut, watermelon, cantaloupe, and pears. I'm sure I'm missing a few as well. Then you can top that off with "limon" or "chile" or both. I obviously get both...because that's what I do. One of my favorite things to do is sipping that juice (a mixture of all the fruit, the lime, and the chili powder) at the bottom of the cup when it's all said and done. Wow. They also serve chili and corn in a cup which consists of corn, butter, mayo, sour cream, cheese, lemon juice, and hot sauce. How can all those flavors co-exist? I don't know! It just works. Of course you can customize what you want in your fruit cup or corn in a cup. The staff is very attentive to your requests and they have no problem doing it. To me, its pretty awesome how you can go really healthy (fruit cups) then compliment that with going super unhealthy (corn in a cup).

We have a saying in my house; "When the he** are we getting fruit cups?" Oh kid's are so cute at that age. When that demand comes we head here to this building that holds bittersweet memories for me. It used to house a Kinney's shoe store which for me meant new shoes but across the street was the sadistic barber who, although a friend of my father's, was no friend of my ears. Those days are long gone now ,as is the barber shop, but this edifice still stands and more glorious than ever. You know I often read reviews by vegetarians trying to explain the merits of a Lockhart BBQ joint based on their friends' reactions to the smoky miracle and then interject with how good the beans or creamed corn or cobbler were. No! If you want to know what they are experiencing than step up to this fruit stand and order the largest vat of pineapples, mangos, melons and strawberries, topped with a sliver of coconut and fresh squeezed lime juice. Only then will you understand your carnivorous friends' splendor. I should also think that any contrarian views on the superior intelligence of bees would be severely challenged by the dozens hovering over the fructose laden trash bins out front. I'm sure eventually the ants come marching in as well and there you have all of the planet's most discerning creatures in accord.

We drove up and to be honest we were a little intimidated however, that changed quickly once we were seated. The wait staff doesn't speak much English so thank goodness my husband is fluent. We ordered the tacos some fruit cups and some corn cups and to my surprise it was sooooo good. The place doesn't look like much but it is authentic Mexican all the way located in a little restaurant that reminds me of Mexico. The tile and the dress of the waitstaff, the music and the smells. I loved my Bistec taco. Husband had the tripas, carnitas, and the AL carbon. The AL carbon were his favorite with the very close second going to the tripas. The only let down was the carnitas. it was pork that looked all gray and slimy and had the skin and fat still on just not appetizing at all. The fruit was so fresh and sweet. I'm craving one right now!!! Corn was yummy too. When I go back the S.A. I'll be back!!!

Food was good, I would consider going again.

Base on the good review and I happen to live close by so I decided to give it a try. Find a parking space is kind of challenging. That mean they are busy which is a good sign. I do not know Spanish so it is kind of confusing at first. I placed an order to go. The young gentlemen help me are very friendly. I had the Al Pastor Tortas and Beef and Chicken Fajita Tacos and they were all very good. . My order was complete and the condiments are all very thoughtfully packaged. It is not like some of the restaurants they always left out something I will definitely back to try some other items on the menu.

Salsa n chips good and were free...Chorizo tack was good...pollo guisado wouldn't do again...cousin got crispy tacos that tasted like dog food..and place smelled like shit. More expensive than other taquerias in area with way better food.

Fresh, delicious, and surprisingly affordable. This is one of the first places I stop whenever I am in town on business. Their selection is great and I've never been unhappy with anything I've ordered. Service is quick and friendly and their prices are excellent for what you get.

I can't think of another time I've applauded my food. But the tacos pastor was that good. And the mango in the fruit cups was close to the bat I've had.
(5)Ben A.
Get yourself a large limonada , a mango and strawberry fruit cup and a plate of mini tacos de asada. Million dollar meal million dollar feel
(5)Aubrey B.
Love this place. Love the plates, the fish tacos, the fruit cups, the agua frescas, the authenticity.

Great prices and huge portions. I've visited twice and have been satisfied. Both times I've had carnitas with rice, salad, avocado and three tortillas. The pork was SO tender and I didn't really need a knife or anything. Even the one half-slice tomato in the salad was delicious! I've never had that precise of an observation, really! They have daily specials, some including tea. Additionally, the restaurant serves fruit juices, sodas and shakes. I haven't tried any yet. On my first visit, I asked for coffee with creamers. The creamers I received were of room temperature and the coffee tasted horrible after I poured the creamers in. They were probably rancid and not refrigerated for a really long time. I went around 7:00 p.m. and the coffee pots were empty so perhaps coffee isn't a popular menu item at that time and they just picked up whatever creamers they could find? Anyway, not trying their coffee again ...

I adore the offerings at Los Cocos. Fruit cups, corn cups, liquados, watermelon slushie-things, the list goes on. This location also sells food - including tongue tacos (I've yet to try but stay tuned for review update) but I love the amazing fresh fruit offerings. The atmosphere is... minimalistic? Walk up to the counter and place your order. Prices redefine cheap. Who cares about atmosphere though when you're about to enjoy some of the best fruit concoctions north of the border? Get yourself here as soon as possible!

This place was awesome! Good food, great service and at a reasonable price!

My favorite fruteria in San Antonio, so far. The place is right off of Bandera road and has walk-up counters so that you can order your fruit cups, liquados, shakes, corn-in-a-cups, etc. The prices are dirt cheap and everything is amazingly fresh. The atmosphere leaves a lot to be desired, as you sit on picnic tables that are right next to the busy street. Next door is the taqueria. I have yet to eat there, since I always fill up on all the yummy fruit.
