Located in the heart of Cabo Rojo, Placita Los Cocos is more than just a café; it’s a vibrant culinary oasis that captures the true essence of Puerto Rican flavors. Nestled at Carretera 308 int calle #15 Puerto Real, 17 PR-102, this charming café has become a beloved hotspot for both locals and visitors seeking a taste of authentic Puerto Rican cuisine.

At Placita Los Cocos, every bite tells a story. Their menu, brimming with mouthwatering options, showcases a delightful array of local delights. Guests rave about the perfectly crafted empanadas and alcapurrias, which are bursting with flavor and made with fresh, quality ingredients. Whether you’re indulging in a savory empanadilla or savoring the crispy perfection of surullos, each dish is a testament to the rich culinary heritage of the island.

One of the main attractions of this café is their impressive selection of natural juices. From the tangy passion fruit (or Parcha) to the refreshing taste of coconut water, each sip is a refreshing burst of nature that quenches your thirst while providing a taste of the tropics. Antonio Guzman couldn't have expressed it better, noting that the gancho of Passion Fruit Juice is “worth the trip by itself,” and when you try it, you'll understand why!

The warm, inviting atmosphere of Placita Los Cocos creates a wonderful dining experience. Friendly staff members make you feel right at home as you savor your meal, and the lively décor adds to the island vibe. As Tania Borges mentions, the café is the perfect spot to pick up delicious juices that are both refreshing and bursting with amazing flavors.

Noteworthy is the popular limber dessert that patrons like Antonio rave about. If you’re unfamiliar, limbers are delicious icy treats that come in various flavors, with Quenepa being a particularly rare and delightful choice. It’s an exciting experience to discover these unique treats at this local gem.

So whether you’re stopping by for a quick bite or a leisurely meal with family and friends, Placita Los Cocos is a must-visit café that brilliantly showcases the flavors of Cabo Rojo. As Daniel Ramos states, the food is fresh and delicious, making it an essential stop every time he visits the area. Don’t miss out on this culinary treasure—your taste buds will thank you!

We picked up a few natural juices such as Parcha, Toronja, and coconut water. All had amazing flavors.

I go here everytime I visit this area. Food is fresh, delicious. Try the different empanadas and alcapurrias as they have several different varieties. Natural fruit juices are great too!

The “gancho” of Passion Fruit Juice or Parcha is worth the trip by itself. The coconut water happens to be excellent. About the best anywhere but they run out fast. Finally, the limbers are incredible. If you do not know what limbers are, Google it, before you head out there. Try the Quenepa (a rare specialty) but of the charts if you know what a Quenepa taste like. I have no idea how they do them. Want to stay with the tradicional limbers? Then Parcha(see above) or Coco are outstanding. Two issues with the place: (1) service is slow. No one is hustling. Expect to be there a while whether you see 2 people or 10 in line; (2) Payment options. Not much signal for the ATH móvil. If you are visiting, bring cash. Bonus: the frituras are good. As good as most, but I would not make the trip just for them. But if you are there, and ready to order, get a few. Do not want to go back in line to order again. Overall, highly recommend place.
