🦜 Pomona's Cuban Hideaway｜Coco Palm's Parrots & City Lights

🌺 Tropical Vibes Before You Even Step In Coco Palm announces itself with two vibrant parrots at the door—their green feathers and red beaks cocking curiously at visitors, instantly transporting you to a Caribbean isle 🐦 Perched on a hillside, the restaurant's floor-to-ceiling windows frame twinkling city lights, while palm-shaded terraces make for Instagram-perfect backdrops 📸 🥘 Generous Portions Meet Middling Flavors ✅ Seafood Paella Seafood Overload: ✅ Cast-iron pan piled high with prawns, mussels, and squid—rice is barely 1/3 of the dish (seafood lovers rejoice!) ✅ Subtle saffron notes; tastes more like tomato-seafood risotto—try squeezing lemon for a tang ✅ Fried Plantains (Tostones) The mandatory side with every main: ✅ Thick-cut plantains fried golden, crispy outside and custardy within ✅ Dip in garlic mojo sauce for a Cuban-style "chip" experience ✅ Specialty Fries (Frites) The happy surprise: ✅ Thinner than regular fries, fried to a shatter-crisp and dusted with rosemary salt ✅ Addictive plain or with ketchup/aioli 📍 Viewpoint Tips & Photo Spots Address: 1600 Fairplex Dr, Pomona, CA 91768 Prime Seats: ✅ 2nd-floor window booths (city lights + parrot cage in one shot) ✅ Outdoor terrace corners (palm trees make great photo frames) Timing Hack: Arrive at 6 PM to catch both golden hour and nighttime light-up 🌟 What Diners Say "Paella was more seafood medley than rice—glad I love shellfish! Freshness on point." "Plantains outshone the mains—they should do a plantain tasting menu." "Come for the terrace views and parrots; flavors are secondary but solid." #LAFoodieFind #PomonaViewRestaurant #CubanCuisinePhotoOp #CocoPalmGuide
