Coa de Jima cuisine is truly exceptional. We had anticipated a delightful romantic Birthday/Valentines dinner. However, upon being seated, we were placed at a large table for 8 near the back entrance where the temperature was uncomfortable. When we requested relocation to a more intimate table, we were informed that the restaurant was fully booked, which ultimately proved to be inaccurate. There were several tables available. This experience was decidedly disappointing due to its lack of romantic ambiance for us.

It was a very unpleasant dinner. We ordered our food and we waited for about 45mins until the food has finally reached our table. The food is really tasty and huge, I couldn’t finish it and I asked for a box. I am super disappointed when I reach home. I appreciate the server help me to box my seafood Mojacate but why they never pack the broth together. The whole dish is become very dry now without the soup. A comparison of what I got in the restaurant versus the one they helped me to pack.

This was my first visit, and I can confidently say it was the best restaurant meal I've ever had. I tried the Yucatán pork chop, and it was absolutely delicious—juicy and packed with flavor. The rice had a rich, smoky depth to it, which was incredible, and the beans were full of taste. The stuffed chili was also fantastic. We enjoyed a couple of cocktails— a classic margarita and the Wildcat—both were excellent.

Went here for our anniversary and loved our experience. My favorite was the raw tuna and dessert. We look forward to coming back again.

Food is amazing. Highly recommend. Only small critique is there chair policy on the patio. We have a new born and had family in town. The restaurant was dead. Three people where inside drinking. The rest of the restaurant was empty. We asked if we could use a chair from a table outside to put our car seat on. They said no. They had alot of reservations at 3 PM. Fast forward to three PM, the resturant is still empty. I was planning on leaving, but my family grabbed a chair from an empty table and we ate. When we left it was still empty. Note to management who said we couldn't, consider your install base. That aside everything was great as usual.

Love, love, LOVE! The environment is moody and sexy, the food is divine and flavorful. Our server was so knowledgeable, made fantastic recommendations and was very attentive. No doubt we'll be back. Bonus - the cover over the lemon to prevent seeds going into your food. TOP TIER attention to detail right there... 👨‍🍳💋
