Cocolito’s

Great food and the price is just right.

Great place. Great service. Great food. Love Debbie’s Chimi. Don’t come if you’re in a rush, because the food is freshly made and takes a little longer.

My wife and I love this place. Their food always tastes good and comes out nice and fresh. I would recommend the chicken chimichanga, their fajitas, and a margarita. It’s also located on old town Pleasant Grove on Main street which has some fun shops.

I tried this place because they are in a nearby corner in my neighborhood. Right by firebird pizza and the pg library. This is such a cool neighborhood. It’s definitively my favorite spot in all Utah county. You can get there from the 850 bus very easily between the university or SLC, which just adds to the loveliness of this location. Now about this establishment. Tasty nachos! I recommend ordering two of the most deluxe version. Next I wanna go back to try chimichangas. I feel like you get a good amount of food for the price. There’s a slight premium because it’s a small operation run by family. Happy to pay it to support great people. They treat you excellently always.

Service is not great. It’s usually slow, orders have been messed up and, while not mean, its definitely not friendly.
The real kicker for me was on multiple occasions I’ve arrived at 11:30, when they are listed to open and have to wait outside for 20+ minutes to wait for staff to arrive. I brought this up to the manager on duty and was given half an apology and a defensive «i try my best to be here on time.»
We all have personal lives, but when you have a business, the least you can do is open when you say you are going to open, thats not too much to ask for.
Food is good, but service makes all the difference, and the difference it made for me will prevent me from returning.

Someone before mentioned their awesome waitress. I figured it was her friend or something, but she was great. My son was cranky, so she brought him a piece of candy, and later crayons and paper. So nice to be somewhere they don’t make you feel like you’re imposing for bringing our kid. Food was delicious, large portions, but a bit overpriced, but the waitress’ service made it worth it.

Very good food and service. I like them better than Los Hermanos or Mi ranchito. Give them a shot.

Okay, I live in Lehi, have eaten at most of the Mexican restaurants in the area, and have an idea what good Mexican food is.
I heard that Cocolito’s in Pleasant Grove was decent, so, it seemed that a Saturday afternoon just before the dinner rush was a good time to give it a try. What a disaster!
There were only two customers in the place and a very young girl came to wait on us. She didn’t know the menu and had to keep asking someone else to answer any questions about the food. I wanted a side of corn chowder only to be told they were out, yet, there was nothing mentioned on the menu regarding it being a seasonal thing. At this point, I would have been happy if they had popped a can of store bought corn chowder open for me.
I also ordered a lemonade with the meal and later asked for a refill. I was told they don’t refill the lemonade and I would have to pay for another drink. I can’t remember what they charged me, but it was too much.
The complimentary chips and salsa tasted stale and the salsa reminded me of a cheap brand you buy in a big plastic jug in the grocery store.
The entrée was bland, almost tasteless and the beans that replaced the corn chowder were inedible. It reminded me of beans at the bottom of the pan that stayed on the heat too long and then mashed up. Totally disgusting.
Our waitress never bothered to refill water glasses and never bothered to ask if we wanted more chips and salsa. I didn’t ask either as it was possible she would charge me for a refill. Besides, who wants to eat inferior crap.
It will be a cold day in Hades before I step into that place again. It was almost as if they didn’t care if I had a decent dining experience and couldn’t wait for us to leave. This really ticks me off as I do shower and use adequate deodorant. This being said, I’ve let my friends and family know that I’ll never waste my money in Cocolito’s in Pleasant Grove again, and I sincerely mean it.

Have gone to this restaurant since it opened as a take out only restaraunt in Lehi!
This family works so hard! Always the same chef and head waitress (a husband wife team). I’ve loved watching all their kids grow up in the business!
I love the lemon splash on their chips and that they are always fresh and warm!
I love the Debbie’s Chimi that combines the yumminess of and a lil kick!
The Carnitas are flipping amazing! The flavor is PERFECTION!
FRESH corn chowder is available in season and delish!
I can’t talk enough about the fried ice cream. …mmmmm!
Their signature drinks are so good as well!
This is a great restaurant bring a big family for an a social occasion, which we do many times a year!
I love that I don’t feel rushed when I go to Cocolitos! It’s a great place to meet and catch up with old friends!
Can you tell we LOVE this place? ! You will too!

My husband and I were in the area and decided to give Cocolito’s a try. We walked in and were greeted by a very friendly woman who sat us at a booth.
The facility was very clean and simple and we took a look at their menu. It was small which is a nice change from your normal Mexican restaurant which can have way too many options.
Taking a peek at the drink menu, they serve Pepsi products and only virgin drinks. I ordered myself a virgin piña colada not expecting much. But it was surprisingly tasty and had real coconut pieces blended in which was delicious.
The chips were from a bag and were terrible. The salsa was also in the same rank of Pace Picante. Meh. Not good.
My quesadilla was good as was the black refried beans but the rice was awful tasting like Uncle Ben’s microwave rice. Taco Bell quality food for a much higher price. I could have ordered roughly 20 tacos from Taco Bell which would have left me satisfied and smiling. Unlike Culo-​Litos. Not visiting ever again.

I would give them four, but the service was slow and chip and salsa was bland. We asked for spicy salsa, which was really good. The main dishes were really tasty but again they brought out half the food at a time.

First of all, let me try to describe to you how terrible it was just upon entering. We walk in, and the one waitress/​host came up and clarified that there were two in my party. We said yes, and she said «Okay let me clean a table for you.» Granted, there was one other person in the restaurant. Plenty of open tables. No menus were handed to us, and I watched her clean off about 4 tables, then sit us at one of the ones that she didn’t clean, so one that was already clean before she «had to clean a table for us.» We were finally seated and handed menus, then immediately left to clean more tables that had leftover food and mess from larger parties who left before we got there. After a few minutes she finally came back and asked us for our drink order. We ordered, and already decided on food too. Chips and Salsa came out before our waters, and while they have excellent chips and salsa, it couldn’t excuse the horrible service we had received thus far. Food came out and was not great. Not terrible, but not great. Which is ridiculous because it was SO expensive. For instance, it’s 14 dollars for a carne asada burrito. The number of places I could go for 14 dollars and get much more better tasting food is almost endless. The waitress took forever to get us our check and was so quiet we couldn’t hear most of what she said. Horrible service, below average food, horrible prices, never returning.

Not too impressed with this restaurant. The menu prices seem to be a little inflated. The food was certainly nothing to write home about.

The service was horrible and the food was not that great either. It tasted like chicken from a can and smothered in cream cheese. I would rather go else where.

Not even close to the best Mexican food around! Bland and tasteless! And I can’t emphasize that enough… no flavor, over-​cooked, dried out, and just blah!!! All the good reviews on here are from people who are friends I’m sure.
We ordered from the lunch menu and the food was delivered cold and tasteless. I’m so disappointed, I will not be going back. The food lacked any flavor and was over cooked.
The service wasn’t bad and the environment reasonable but the price was very high for a really bland lunch. I think someone needs to come in and teach some basic cooking classes to the staff. Some spices would go a long way. Plus you don’t have to leave something on the stove for a week to make sure it’s done.

Reviewing Cocolito’s is going to be difficult because I want to be fair but honest. My family and I love the food – it’s some of the best Mexican in the area. I really like their their beans! However, the service is horrible. We have been here a number of times since they opened in Pleasant Grove, as well as at their old Orem location. Since opening in Pleasant Grove there have been some serious problems with service and it seems to be getting worse; tonight we waited for 45 minutes for our food. We finally had to ask the waitress – who was excellent, by the way – what had happened to our order. After about 5 minutes she came back and apologized for a mix-​up in the kitchen. On other words, they lost our order! I’d hate to see this restaurant close because of service issues, because I can’t say enough about the excellent food. They always have a «help wanted» sign in the window; obviously help is hard to find. I hope they can get their act together. I’d love to give them 5 stars; unfortunately, because of the poor service I can only give 3 stars.

This is one if the best places to get mexican food in Utah county and they have one of the nicest waitresses in food service made the visit wonderful
