The Scene
This neighborhood Peruvian restaurant manages to feel upscale and homey at once. The inviting scent of rotisserie chicken is overwhelming--once you recover, you'll find a warmly decorated room with exposed brick and romantic, but not-too-dark, lighting. Service is inconsistent, but while you wait for your food, at least you can nosh on complimentary plantain chips, served with tangy dipping sauces.
The Food
The mid-priced traditional Peruvian menu includes one of the borough's best selections of super-fresh ceviche, as well as a long list of roasted and grilled meats. Crab meat marinated in tart yellow pepper sauce makes a fine start, particularly when followed by the juicy rotisserie chicken, a house specialty that goes beautifully with a baked sweet potato side. Be sure to save room for the sensational lime coconut flan.

Coco Roco is a Peruvian restaurant that has a good atmosphere and great food. My family love to dine here and I have brought friends that also enjoyed it.

Unsuprisingly, this Peruvian restaurant is best known for the rotisserie chickens, which are consistently excellent. The rest of the regular menu is less consistent: earns high marks for the cocktail list (pisco sours and other specialties) and some nice seviches; entrees can be dull and the seafood sometimes overcooked. Service has always been friendly, if occasionally overburdened. Recommended for kids. Highly recommended for takeout chicken; dining in is decent if you order well, though the atmosphere is nothing special.

We were promptly seated and the service was great (sometimes a little too attentive), the plantain chips were great to snack on, but when I ordered the Trambayo, I thought the waiter was snickering because of how I pronounced it. Not so much. He was laughing at me because I just ordered a WHOLE FISH, eyes, tail, and all. I'm not particularly squeamish, but I was angry that it didn't say it on the menu, nor was I warned that this was a whole fish. Not only that, the fish was flavorless. You can't get away on shock value alone, it needs to be well-prepared, whether whole or filleted. My friend's dinner was decent, but my meal was a waste of time and money.
