Phoenix Coqui

I ordered mofongo, yuca and sorullito, and a lemonade, I cannot express how delicious the mofongo was! And it was a good size portion too! I highly recommend this place.

Phoenix Coqui is an absolute gem! I ordered their best seller, the Plato de Pernil, and it did not disappoint. Tender, flavorful pulled pork served with perfectly seasoned Puerto Rican rice and beans and a fresh side salad. Every bite was on point. Fresh, clean eating. My friend had the Empanadilla lunch special (two empanadas 1. cheese 1. chicken with fries), and those were just as delicious. Crispy, well-filled, and clearly made with care. The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming, and the restaurant itself was spotless. There’s also ample parking in the back with easy access, which makes it even more convenient. This is definitely a destination spot if you’re in Phoenix and craving authentic Puerto Rican food. I’ll absolutely be back to work my way through more of the menu.

Boricua aqui. First time at Phoenix Coqui and I decided to bring my parents. My mom ordered MOFONGO CON CAMARONES AL AJILLO. The mofongo was garlicky, delicious and not salty. It came with lots of shrimp that she could not finish. My dad ordered POLLO A LA CRIOLLA and it reminded me of Puerto Rico. I was not very hungry but had to try their empanadillas: setas (mushroom) + pizza. They were both freshly made and delicious. Of course we had to have MALTA INDIA to complete the experience. I cant wait to come back!

The food is to die for! It’s so flavorful, fresh, and cooked with love. I love how the food tasted as if it sat down in a kitchen and food served right up from the stove. It’s a lot of food and great for the price. I definitely recommend the pernil, empanadas, and the chicken mofongo! The rice is so tasty that I could eat that for forever! The only thing I wish is that it had a bit more meat.

I ordered to-go from Phoenix Coqui and the staff were super nice. Restaurant is small but clean inside. I ordered a pernil plate and tostones con carne frita. I received huge portions of both for a cheap price. The pernil was slow cooked, smoky, and well-seasoned. I think it was cooked all day! Carne frita wa freshly fried and also well seasoned. So delicious. Tostones reminded me of being on the island; fried plantains are always yummy! I can’t wait to try everything else. If you want to try Puerto Rican food or are from the Island and want a taste in Phoenix, this is the place to go!
