I think they had the best Jerk chicken dinner in town. The Natilla and Tres Leches cake were also terrific. Top it off with one of their frozen sangrias (not on the menu) and you had a memorable Latin dinner. I know the property values in the area are escalating but it seems dumb for a landlord to run this place and Fatburgers, a great hamburger joint, out of business in hopes of making more money in a down ecomonmy. I won't be visiting that shopping center tomorrow or lunch as plannedAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-579719431387122896.post-54714568654861926732011-05-10T18:10:43.120-04:002011-05-10T18:10:43.120-04:00Wow, this place had a great palomillo steak.

It will be missed, but folks are right that the quality had been going downhill. <br /><br />You referenced the other two Cuban restaurants on Buford Highway. The Havana Grill is great and run by the former owner's son. The other, Havana Restaurant is a few blocks down and is not even run by Cubans. The woman who owns it is Greek and not even Latin. She bailed on Atlanta and tried in Woodstock but didn't make it there either. My advice, go to Havana Grill. Better food, by Cubans and a lot nicer.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-579719431387122896.post-55383473991918471412011-03-03T12:13:20.292-05:002011-03-03T12:13:20.292-05:00Finally... what a dump.

Couldn't the landlord have worked with Coco Loco for them to stay there or is the stupid landlord so excited to bring in another CVS?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-579719431387122896.post-61708401139916379682011-03-02T10:51:25.477-05:002011-03-02T10:51:25.477-05:00Wow I loved Coco Loco, its really sad to see it go...Wow I loved Coco Loco, its really sad to see it go.
