What Scott Strait likes about El Cofre:
I'm so glad i found this spot, having lived in Puerto Rico for 3 years the place hits the spot anytime I'm craving Latin food. Food is fresh, tasty and good quality.

The atmosphere is pretty nice too and the place is kept clean. Highly recomm... View all feedback. What User doesn't like about El Cofre:

The white rice was obviously from the day before and tasted barely heated through. The restaura... View all feedback.

Always LOVED them in High school. Food is always delicious. This time, my chicken was a lil too pink for me this time and red beans smell a lil sour

Food wasn't bad, but the lunch special is a rip off!! .... They will give you a lot of rice and beans and VERY VERY little meat!!! Definitely not worth it

This is My neighbor Go To. The food is always fresh and the customer service is excellent. Either I walk there or opt for deliver I'm never disappointed.

Always LOVED them in High school. Food is always delicious. This time, my chicken was a lil too pink for me this time and red beans smell a lil sour ????
