El Coco Pirata - Aurora

Great place for food and drinks! They had live music there.

What a huge disappointment today! Apparently, the whole menu has changed from the delicious Mexican food my friends and I usually enjoy in Denver. Last time I went was in July 2021 it was wonderful, so we recommended it to our friends. Don’t know if this place was sold to a new owner while I was gone, but the current owner seems to be very fond of seafood Pacific Ocean dishes, vs. the typical, North Mexico cuisine, like tamales, chicken burritos, green chili bowls with tortillas, enchiladas, quesadillas, beans rice, etc. Even the chips salsa were nowhere to be found! I finally settled for the shrimp ceviche (one of my faves from other restaurants). Unfortunately, they had added so much hot sauce to the whole mix, that it was inedible for me. It was too spicy and flavorless at the same time. Then we tried the fajitas, but they even ruined that, with too many slices of peppers overwhelming the steak other meat.Also, all of their dishes were overpriced for the food you get and the background music was way too loud to carry on a comfortable conversation.We will never return to this place and have advised friends about how awful it really is.

I went on Saturday with my family and my waitress was Elizabeth and she was very professional and respectful. She recommended me the Volcán Sushi and it was very delicious.

I only had drinks but would definitely like to come back for food. As i was leaving they had a live band getting ready to start playing music. They have an extensive menu with tons of seafood and sushi. Worth a stop.

Service was absolutely terrible.Way overpriced for the food you get along with lack of service!Several tables who came in after us were served drinks before we were even offered. The plates of food were both too spicy and flavorless at the same time. There is no salt on the table to fix this issue. Flavor should come from the kitchen, not added salt even if it were provided.The sushi rolls were thick layered baked rice rolls with very little filling.The mariachi trumpeter was ear piercingly painful and had to stuff napkins in me ears. Followed by the 4 piece band with music so loud you could not carry on a conversation much less, try and order any more drinks. The electric Tuba was so obnoxious....his tune was the same in every song. Uuugh!The server never came around after the food was dropped off. She took so song to drop off the tab, and I went to the bar to pay so I didn 't have to wait a second longer to get out of there. I desperately wanted to get out of there much sooner than I did.We will never return and have advised friends how awful it really is.
