We ate from Coco Cantina today. We were able to order through the web site, which is good because they still don't answer their phone when they are open, so as far as I know the only way to order without going in.
We tried the carne asada burrito and Diablo wings, both served to go.
The winner was the Diablo wings. There was nothing extravagant about them, they were crispy chicken wings tossed in standard buffalo chicken wing sauce. If you like the Toni Romas buffalo sauce (either the restaurant or the bottled variety from the grocery store) you'll love these wings. The ranch dip had something red added giving it a pink color. I couldn't place the flavor but the wife really liked it. It wasn't served with carrots or celery or anything, it was 8 wings for $13. Well, technically it was 8 wing segments, so 4 wings, but I think you know what I mean. We would order again if we go back.
The carne asada burrito was pretty basic: Carne asada steak, rice, and black beans wrapped up in a burrito with some sauce drizzled on top, served with a comically small dollop of guacamole (I'm guessing it was a tablespoon) and a little crema on the side, and a little side of salsa. The carne asada steak was pretty good, and there was enough of it that every bite of the burrito had some steak, but the burrito itself didn't have any flavor, and the sauce drizzled on top wasn't very good. I guess I was expecting something "fresh" in the dish, like maybe some chopped onions, cilantro... anything. The only thing with any flavor was the steak and the salsa. The menu said the burrito came with cheese, but somehow I missed it. It didn't say "ala carte" but that was how the burrito was served, though, it makes sense because what would they serve it with, beans and rice? That is mostly what the burrito was. We wouldn't order another burrito there.
The online ordering thing said the food would be ready in 30-35 minutes, after ordering we drove to Longs and picked something up, then went to the restaurant for curbside delivery- called the number as instructed, no answer, went inside, food wasn't ready yet, but they brought it out after a few minutes. Checked phone, 35 minutes, so exactly the advertised time for the food to be ready.
I don't know if they serve chips and salsa for dine-in customers but it doesn't come with take out. All in all, $34 for 1 ala carte mediocre burrito and 8 (four) chicken wings, it wasn't a bad meal but at a pretty high price point. Based on what we sampled, which admittedly wasn't a whole lot, if I was craving Mexican style food in Pahoa I would order from Luquins.
