“ I’m so glad we stopped and gave this place a try! Food was AMAZING, service was 10/10 (thanks Cesar!) and atmosphere was super cool. My husband and I had some of the best tacos ever and both ate for under $20. The chips and salsa are fresh and soooo good as well. ”

“ We absolutely loved our experience at Hijos del Cocho! We tried the shrimp ceviche, the seafood risotto, and the coconut-fried shrimp: everything was absolutely delicious, perfectly seasoned, and very fresh. The atmosphere was lively and pleasant, and Cesar’s service was impeccable — attentive, responsive, and warm. Probably the best restaurant we’ve been to in Mexico, definitely a must-visit! ”
“ This was the best food we had so far in Mexico and the prices are great, a little more than some other places but totally worth it. The vibe is great and the service is even greater lol. I (as a white Canadian) absolutely loved the taconbinado , flank steak and mashed potatoes. My fiance had the sea food risotto and love it too. I tried some it was better than most I’ve tried before! Highly recommend!! ”
