Food Quality

Pros:

Cons:

"The katsu certainly looked the part but sadly the taste was similar to an M&S ready meal."
"It’s a no-go for Coco as this place has sadly lost its soul."
"The falafel didn't have much of an impact in flavour or texture."
"It’s safe to say you clearly don’t wash your salad dressing then which is unhygienic."
"The sauce was a tad bit too salty and the chicken had a slightly burnt/smoky smell that lingered for a day or two."
"The thigh meat seemed an interesting choice for a burger as the meat was tough and the burger was falling apart in my hands."
"There was a maggot in my wife’s food. Enchiladas."

Pros:

"The service received throughout was excellent."
"Service is excellent! I can't say enough good things about Coco's."
"Fab food, great service, even though we ended up on the middle floor, due to all tables full downstairs."
"Staff were excellent and very passionate."
"Helpful and friendly service, great menu with variety of interesting food (and drinks)."
"Service was quick, friendly and efficient."
"The staff were great and the service spot on."

Cons:

"Also felt very unwelcome by the rude staff."
"The only criticism I have of Coco’s is that I was disappointed to see that a lot of kitchen staff were not wearing hair nets, especially as one of the cooks had a large beard."
"Not sure if staff were just very busy but they were not talkative AT all and the tables/floor were a little sticky."
"The owner was ignorant and did not care it seemed."
"Very rude staff they do not stick to the law on distancing ruling."
"I've never been to a restaurant where you're reminded that you have to pay, as you're ordering at the till."

Pros:

"Prices range from 3.5-8 pounds. You can definitely eat for 4 pounds or less if you want though."
"Great food, good service and atmosphere. Chicken burgers are juicy and delicious."
"Very good value for money, worth a visit if you’re ever in Preston."
"The prices are really reasonable for the size of the portions and quality of food."
"Great value for the quality and portion size!"
"The price of food is astonishingly good value."
"Also really cheap prices for such tasty food."

Cons:

"Maybe that's the charm of the place, but it's not cheap and more attention could be paid to mucky window ledges."
"The fact that they charge for take out boxes too is a bit steep."
"The minimum £10 spend on cards is particularly disappointing."
"£9.50 for a very small portion of chips, bottle of water, and burger which wasn't anything to write home about..."
"The only reason I have left a 4-star review and not 5 is because I (unfortunately) found a hair in the rice with the jerk chicken portion, which meant I couldn’t finish it."

Pros:

"On entry the vibe and atmosphere was great. Very welcoming and friendly."
"Their decorations and atmosphere plays a really important part to the whole experience."
"The vibe of the restaurant is perfect!"
"Atmosphere was great, clean place and good tunes in the background."
"The atmosphere was relaxing and staff welcoming."
"Great customer service, great food & great atmosphere."
"The food is exceptional."

Cons:

"Absolutely amazing! Ok the location/parking/size of place and general decor leaves a lot to be desired but the food is spot on."
"It's a shame because I do love the food and pricing here, but with no indication of the Eat Out to Help Out scheme being accepted or rejected and no social distancing/COVID measures in place it does worry me."
"Limited seating but has an upstairs which has had a local artist paint the walls."
"Before 5.30 they didn't open their upstairs, so it was very packed/cramped downstairs."
"It's just not a very big building so not loads of tables."
