VAT Voyage: A Afternoon Adventure

Our recent escapade to this establishment, aimed at enjoying a casual cocktail-filled afternoon, yielded quite the medley of surprises. Armed with the simple request for a solitary cocktail, we were met with the kind of response typically reserved for those who had disrupted an ancient cocktail ritual.

Opting to embark on the CocoLoco cocktail journey, our taste buds anticipated an island-inspired symphony of flavors. Instead, we encountered a discordant orchestra, where ingredients played a game of hide and seek with our palates. CocoLoco? More like FlavorLoco—charting its own uncharted course.

Amidst our quest to decode these bewildering beverages, an unexpected auditory delight befell us. Our ever-charming waitress treated us to a live and impassioned soliloquy, replete with dramatic sighs and ornate prose, lamenting our audacious choice to abstain from a full meal.

Contemplating extending our stay to explore the culinary landscape, we found ourselves hesitating. The frosty reception and the curious cocktails, seemingly in need of a compass, failed to stoke our appetites.

But hold on, our adventure wasn't complete without one last surprise—a VAT voyage. A covert maneuver that landed the VAT right atop the prices displayed for the cocktails, leaving us feeling like unwitting castaways on a deserted pricing island. The cheeky addition of this hidden fee felt like the final note in our symphony of surprises.

In conclusion, as we bid adieu to this establishment, we're left reflecting on the mysteries of mismatched flavors, impassioned soliloquies, and the unexpected VAT voyage. Until CocoLoco discovers its inner compass, service warms up, and pricing practices come into plain sight, we'll chart our course elsewhere, where culinary and pricing adventures align with...

The Canarian potatoes weren’t great either. During the meal, various passing entertainers stopped to play an instrument or sing, very loudly! It was very intrusive & not very pleasant to listen to either. They’d then come around hoping for tips. We didn’t hang around for dessert or coffee &...

We waited very long for the food and although I emphasized twice when ordering that I want the Paella with vegetables, as I am Vegetarian, they brought a Paella with seafood. Then I waited another 30-40 minutes until I had the right Paella. So my friend had to eat alone and was already finished by the time I could start eating. The Paella was okay but not very authentic. It was not even real Pallea rice. Did not expect much in this touristy area but still got disappointed. If you want authentic Canarian or Spanish food dont expect to find it here along the...
