I had such a fun time at Don Coqui! The drinks were great, the food was really good, the inside was beautiful, and the views of New York were amazing! The vibes were so fun, lots of great Spanish music and waiters with bongos & maracas. Definitely come here for a special occasion!

Absolutely loved this place. Plenty of food options and everything we ordered tasted great. I only ordered 1 Cocktail but felt most of them had Coconut based flavors and that kind of felt repetitive. Staff were very polite and the Service was quick enough, considering how packed they were when we visited. Ambience was also pretty good, but the music can be a bit loud if you are looking to have a more quiet dinner.
