The food is amazing. The service is amazing. The portions are huge come hungry!!!! We stumbled upon this place on accident, and I couldn't be more thrilled that we did 10/10.

My experience at Coco Cantina in Hilo was amazing! It was our first time trying it, because the Mexican restaurant we usually go to was closed. I’m so glad we did! The food was amazing, our waitress was so kind and friendly, her service was outstanding! Both of my kids liked their food (which is rare). The atmosphere was calm and the restaurant was clean. I ordered the shrimp and chorizo burrito, and my fiancé ordered the catch of the day tacos. Everything was so fresh and delicious! Great drink menu as well.

tacos fell apart and alcohol gave me a headache. Wouldn't recommend for Mexican food in Hilo.

The staff was great. The portions are more than generous. The happy hour is one of the best values on the island. I ate my food before I was able to take a picture of the meal. However, I was able to capture my dessert. The fried ice cream was delicious. I highly recommend this place. The outside of the restaurant is unassuming but a pleasant surprise inside. It looked like a bar but is a family friendly resturant.

Excellent lunch special and happy hour! This is a hidden gem in Hilo. Whenever I'm in the area visiting family I always mark a point to visit Coco Cantina as they have fantastic cocktails, food and HAPPY HOUR!

Christina is an amazing artist and server! She helped me feel right at home and gave me full confidence in her bartending as we discussed Jamaica because they didn’t have it available and an awesome recipe she had for a cocktail. I was able to relax and just enjoy the ambience with other guests. Awesome first dine-in experience for me!!! Five stars ⭐️ for sure! So thoughtful and attentive. Beautiful mojito! The ceviche was great with both fish and shrimp… perfect amount of lime to cook and accent the peppers and mango… the fish, a little fishy for my preference to the taste, yet I prefer other seafood besides fish usually. I loved it! Thin-cut delicious cantina style chips… perfection!

Really good food. I like the Carnitas Burrito and from 11-3pm Monday - Friday it is only $10. Seriously good deal. Great service too.

There was another review here that hits the nail on the head. It's just not as good as the Pahoa location. I usually sit in the bar area. The bartender is always great. I have received good service but the food is just lacking. The salsa is bland. You could buy a better salsa at Safeway. I usually order the carne asada burrito but the asada isn't quite as good as at the Pahoa location. it just tastes "off" This really disappoints me as it's a much longer drive to Pahoa for me but I won't be coming back to the Hilo location. Please get new kitchen staff or train them at the Pahoa location. The Good: Friendly staffThe Bad: The food us just not tasty or as good as the Pahoa locationChances I'll be back: Most likely not. I'll stick to Pahoa.

This little place is terrific. Upon entering, we were immediately seated. The cops were warm, and the salsa was tasty. The beer is cold abs the mojito perfectly minty. I had the steak fajitas. There were plenty of fixings. The steak, onions, and peppers were cooked wonderfully with just a touch of sweet. This was new to me, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Our waitress was very attentive and pleasant. If I'm back in Hilo town, I will go again.

Not gonna lie, I was a little nervous to try Mexican food in Hawaii. We live in Oklahoma and live on Mexican food so I was a little skeptical. Let me tell you, this place did not disappoint! In fact, I would rank this burrito as one of the top burritos I’ve ever had! Absolutely delicious! Fantastic food made better by our awesome waitress Janelle. She was so friendly and attentive to our needs. I would recommend asking for her if you eat here. 6 stars!!!
