Reviews for Coconuts in Palo Alto, CA
We came around 3pm, but we waited a long time to get our order placed and then the hostess/waitress only came to deliver the... food. Never came back to check on us or give us the bill. We had to go to the front and ask to pay and for a to-go box. Reallybad service but food was good. We ordered Da Pill drink and it was not good at all. Tasted too acidic and the milk curded -would not suggest that drink. Read more
If this is your first time trying Jamaican food, this is the place to come! Such flavorful food, and the hospitality we were... given from the manager, Cornell, will keep us coming back! We tried a little bit of everything, but it was so tasty we only got1 picture!! Jerk Chicken Tip: If you or your party is sensitive to spice, it’s best to order the sauce on the side Also,it’s worth mentioning that the corn festivals were to die for ???? Read more
Wow, the food and drinks were amazing, the bar tender that poured up the birthday shots was the most memorable , but most of all... the service was impeccable. We had a large party and were catered to with care from beginning to end. My favorite was the jerkchicken and plantains. No disappointments from this group. Thank you Coconuts! Pics do it no justice Read more
Food was very tasty. We shared the coconut shrimp, plating was lackluster. I had the combo curry shrimp and jerk chicken, it was... delicious! Also the plantains that come with the meal are sooo good! Service was super friendly but slow to get us our drinksand bill. The restaurant is eclectic but needed a bit of cleaning. The table next to was was not being used but was dirty andnot wiped down and I couldn’t use the appetizer plate because it was also dirty. All in all we had a good dinner and theflavors outweigh the other mishaps. Will definitely come back again. Read more
This is not a Jamaican restaurant- more like a Caribbean influenced spot. The plantains were great, but the jerk pork was not... Jerk- more like a stew. The jerk wings were fried with a spooned on “jerk” sauce, the oxtail had a flavourful gravy missingmany things. The meats were tender. The soup was from at least a day before and was subpar- we left it after a sip. The ambiancewas nice and if you are nostalgic for Caribbean food or are curious, this is a decent starting point!

The food is really delicious. The only thing that I couldn't fully enjoy was that even the rice and beans were spicy. Oxtail is... really good as well the veggie curry. This place gets packed really quickly and the service is going to be very very slow. Read more
We found our new place! The food is (for the most part) AMAZING! The jerk chicken is just the right amount of salty and spicy,... the meats are so tender, the curry is just spicy enough. The rice and beans are perfectly cooked (not too mushy), and theplantains are awesome. The coconut shrimp is off the hook crispy and delicious! Service is always friendly (but maybe a TADslow), and the atmosphere is perfect. If you are here in the area, but are wishing you were in the Caribbean, swing by and graba meal (which is a great price, by the way) and you'll be halfway to the islands! Read more
