This restaurant is great with their sauces. We went there twice for dinner. They are generous with crab. Service can be a bit snooty. They charge too much for water.
We had delicious spinach crêpe with crab, seafood ceviche, salmon with asparagus, baked sea bass wrapped in aluminum foil, crab pie (recommend the spinach pie with crab instead), conger eel, shrimps in delicious pil-​pil sauce. Excellent desserts — coconut flan, grandma’s thousand layer cake with manjar. We also had gâteau basque (dessert) which was alright.

Dinner at Aquí Esta Coco (on 10÷15÷15) was a great welcome to the seafood cusine the country has to offer. Service was great and waiters were kind. You felt appreciated.
I had the salmon app (Salmon Marinado en Casa) and the salmon entrée (Salmon Oriental) and I would order it again.

Restaurante com ambiente muito bom e comida ótima. Não é barato.
Melhor marcar horário porque enche.

I had the wonderful opportunity to visit this restaurant. The décor is beautiful the service impeccable and the food sublime. I am sorry I don’t have any pictures of all the wonderful things we tried but it was a business dinner with company upper management and I didn’t want to look unprofessional snapping pictures of the food in front of them.

Aqui Esta Coco is one of the most famous restaurants in Chile. Yes, it is a tad on the touristy side, but it is nevertheless a must-​try for any foodie paying a visit or local who has not tried it.
My party did not have a reservation the night that we went (a Friday night, incidentally); however, we arrived early enough (around 7pm or so) that we were able to secure a table for a party of seven before the dinner rush began. If you plan on arriving later than we did, I highly recommend making a reservation as, shortly after we arrived, the restaurant was buzzing.
Similar to other reviewers’ comments, the first thing you notice when you step inside is the zany décor: A mix of rustic wooden and glass elements with a pacific, tropical theme, peppered with vegetation and all manner of art pieces and nautical antiques. Also, I won’t spoil the surprise but, if you like art & humor, make sure you pay the bathroom a visit before you leave.
After a warm reception at the door and being escorted to a large circular, corner table, our party of seven was immediately greeted by our waiter and offered beverages. The service here is superb, and very friendly. As our waiter took our drinks order, the wait staff brought us fresh bread with butter and a hard-​to-​describe citrus-​like dipping sauce (which is outstanding).
To open with, we ordered a round of Pisco Sours (a must-​do when in Chile or Peru) and a four-​part ceviche appetizer consisting of two kinds of shrimp and octopus. Both were superb. Honestly, I could have just eaten more ceviche and bypassed the mains. As for the Pisco Sours, they were so good we opted to bypass a bottle of wine that evening and just keep ordering Piscos instead.
Unfortunately, my main was a bit of a step down from there. The Congrio I ordered — a combination of a Red Conger fish filet served under a mound of octopus and other seafood and potatoes — while delicious, lacked the wow factor of not only the opening ceviche appetizer, but that of the rest of my party’s orders as well (at least, the ones I tasted). Among other things, I recall the octopus pieces being just a tad too chewy for my taste (and i love octopus!). Again, it was «good» but it did not live up to the restaurant’s other strong attributes: venue, energy, service, etc. I certainly would not order it again. Regrettably, I can’t comment on dessert because, by the time we finished our mains, the entire table was stuffed.
Bottom line: Definitely a place to try, if for no other reason than the fact that it is a staple of the Santiago culinary scene and anyone you speak with there knows of it and has likely been there. The décor, service, and energy level get high marks but, in my case, my lackluster Congrio main course forces me to take one star off the top. I plan on going back the next time I am in Santiago and will update my review when I do.

Our second night in this glorious city brought us to this sublime restaurant by glowing praise from the hotel staff, locals, abd even our cab driver.
Originally we found it highly recommended on Unilocal and were delighted that everyone we talked to agreed. So we took the Unilocaled advice and made our reservation a day ahead. As with most restaurants in Chile, its a good idea to book a table beforehand. Basically you will have the table all night and they don’t rush you around. Quite the opposite so sit back and enjoy the scenes and amazing wine of the region.
At Coco, dinner doesn’t start till 8 so we made our table for that time with plans on staying all night. We did just that.
We arrived at 8 and there was already a group waiting outside for the doors to open. They were all locals so we took this as a very good sign. Once we entered they brought us upstairs to our perfect table. The décor is dark wood and a bit native mixed with nautical elements, reminder of their special seafood. It was truly stunning, romantic and fun at the same time.
The service was 5 star, and the food and wine were even beyond. We had two local red wines, one syrah and one cab. Both were insanely good. For starters we went with the recommendation of the server and after the successful course; we let him bring us whatever he wanted through the night. I had salad, scallops, hake, and a lemon dessert. My husband loved his shrimps cooked in spicy oil the most.
Honestly it was sad to leave and I will always remember this lovely venue with its extraordinary food and wine. Unilocal did not let us down so thank you fellow Unilocalers! !

This place is pretty much about seafood — something I was looking for. The interior is interesting — wood floors and ceilings with some cool design. The food was ok but not excellent. I had the empanadas de mariscos: these come deep fried instead of baked which overshadows the subtle flavor of the filling. As an entrée I had the centolla tart which was a little greasy. Liked the salad (palmito, tomatoes, avocado). For desert I chose the chocolate mousse which was neither very chocolaty — and served far too cold. I accompanied the food with a Chilean Pinot noir — also served too cold. The service is friendly for Chilean standards but I was seated at a table close to the kitchen — the waiters would pile up dirty plates and cutlery next to my table — without taking any notice of me. It was so unpleasant — especially noisy– that I asked to be reseated. A good but not memorable experience.

How I love this restaurant! To begin with, the ambiance is slightly funky and totally cool. It’s a visual delight from the moment you walk through the door. Coco is obviously a strangely wonderful person. Show me more :-)
The seafood dishes in this restaurant are insanely good. In fact, everything I’ve had there has been insanely good– perfectly prepared and plated to perfection. Yum. And the service is perfect, too. Everything about this place is perfect.
Make reservations. Also, dress nicely, because this is not a casual dining restaurant. Upscale all the way, but not pretentious. My only disappointment has been that Coco has never been there!

Dear Coco,
Don’change anything to your restaurant, it’s excellent. Everything deserves 5 stars. The decoration and ambiance are sophisticated, pleasant and very maritime. My favorite part was a porthole shaped window incrusted in the porch, where you see a glimpse of their wine cellar.
The food was exceptional. I recommend you do not stop in Santiago without visiting Aqui Esta Coco, but make sure to reserve ahead. We had the scallops in parmesan cheese to start, which was delicious with coupes of champagne. Next we had the the sea bass with salmon and the chilean seafood mix. Both of those dishes were incredibly good. The flavors were delicate, and enhanced, not taken over, by the spices and seasoning. Plating was beautiful. Not a single thing amiss.
We ended the meal on a beautiful note, with the Torta de la Abuela, a kind of Millefeuille with dulce de leche and a scoop of ice cream. I’m running our of synonyms for delicious, but you get the idea.
Finally, the service was impeccable. Henry, our waiter, only needed a glance to understand we needed something. He was always discreet and helpful, and provided recommendations when we asked him.
I strongly recommend anyone to try this place. Don’t forget to dress up though.

Un très bon restau de poissons et fruits de mer dans un décor plein de poésie.
La carte est riche, mais pas trop, les produits d’excellente qualité et les recettes originales et souvent typiques. Les plats Sont autour de 10 000 pesos, et valent leurs prix.
Quelques exemples: fonds d’artichauts et sauce au pisco, gambas cuisinées au pil-​pil, congres et purée de pois chiche à la truffe, une sauce spécialité de la maison au champignon, maïs et safran accompagnant une truite savoureuse.
Né ratez pas en dessert le chocolat sous différentes formes: brownie, ganache et glacé au très bon chocolat, chose rare à Santiago !
Un service remarquable, attentionné et plein de bonnes manières.

Un clásico de los pescados y mariscos en Santiago, Aquí Está Coco es el restaurante del aclamado y reconocido chef Coco Pacheco.
No es uno de mis lugares favoritos entre los que se especializan en la comida marina, pero no anda mal.
Como entrada destacan las machas a la parmesana y las gambas al pil pil con merquén del cacique. Otra cosa que no pueden dejar de probar es la albacora a la mantequilla con charquicán, una de las razones por las cuales sigo visitando este lugar!
