La Tapa del Coco

Went for out for a Friday night family dinner to tryout their BurgerWeek offering. Parking was a challenge because the place was packed, with a line of people waiting for a table outside. The best way to ensure that you can get a table is to make a reservation, which, fortunately, I did thru Degusta. We got seated pretty quickly, ordered our Burgers (chicken fingers for the little guy) and enjoyed the lively ambiance while we waited for our food. Service is timely and friendly - our food was delivered in a reasonable amount of time and was well worth the wait! Their Journey Burger was UNBELIEVABLE!! With a unique blend of Antillean flavors in a burger, this is a special treat and one that should be on the menu regularly going forward. I almost forgot - for an appetizer, we had the plantain tarts and beef pattys (2 of each) - very tasty and the perfect started for our palate to prepare for our burger delight! For us, this is a restaurant that never disappoints. With their cozy ambiance, friendly staff, simple menu and amazing dishes, you cannot go wrong at La Tapa if you feel for some Panamanian - Caribbean flavor.

Wednesday night dinner decision after a long day - we went with La Tapa del Coco. We like the limited, high quality menu that they offer of Pan-Caribbean dishes in a comfortable setting. On this night we both wanted to try something new - dishes that are all off the menu. I had the Pork Ribs with Coconut Rice, wifey had the Curry Shrimp with Patacones and the 4 yr old has his usual Chicken Wings with Patacones. I have to say, the Pork Ribs were simply AMAZING!!! They are served boneless, so you are getting pure pork meat, that was bbqed to perfection. Succulent, moist, well seasoned and full of flavor, this was perfectly married with the coconut rice and with fried ripe plantain. The influences of Jamaica are all over this dish and Chef Isaac outdid himself with this dish. The Curry Shrimp was excellent - good portion of shrimp served in a tasty curry sauce that is not too strong, but with a little kick to it. This pairs really well with patacones and is another winner. Our son's dish consistently delivers - very good portions of well prepared wings served with fresh patacones. We've not had a bad meal there ever, however, this particular night was absolutely the best. Washed the meal down with a Tiny Winey Saril beer - perfect!! If you are interested in trying out good Caribbean food in a fun, island setting (reggae music is always playing in the background there), you HAVE to check out this spot.

Vine a probar el famoso One Pot y me pareció muy delicioso al principio, sin embargo, me parece un poco empalagoso para mi gusto, pero definitivamente hay que probarlo!! También pedimos unas alitas que estaban muy bien, pero falto el acompañante, al parecer se debe pedir por separado, que a mi parecer quedan algo costosas. En general, me gusto el lugar, pequeño pero acogedor.

Hola, te saluda el equipo de servicio al cliente de La Tapa Del Coco💚. Nos esforzamos como equipo para que usted tenga la mejor experiencia posible. Valoramos su retroalimentación.

El restaurante estaba llenísimo, tuvimos que hacer fila para entrar pero eso demuestra que es un restaurante de calidad. Me encanto la hamburguesa del Burger Week estaba deliciosa, sobre todo el bacon de rabito estaba increíble. Las tajadas con salsa de saril estaba delicioso también. Realmente creo que lo que me gusta es el toque original de los platos. El servicio debe mejorar y el local es bonito pero muy pequeño, lo que hacer que sea ruidoso, pero son cositas para mejorar. Pero la comida súper!!!

Para ser mi primera vez me gustó el toque caribeño que le dan a cada detalle, desde que entras al restaurante hasta recibir el pedido. El local se les quedó pequeño. En ocasiones anteriores había querido ir pero siempre estaba lleno. El servicio es muy bueno.
