Contemporary Latin
Coco Maya is inspired by exploring the history of the Islands and Latin American regions of the Caribbean Ocean.

The dishes are a contemporary link from the past to the present using local produce and Seafood guided by the Monterey Bay Aquarium Seafood Watch. European influence in flavor and cooking techniques are echoed throughout the menu with the core of the kitchen coming from the Coal Fired Josper Oven. Hints of the Ocean, smoke, and char will reverberate through all the dishes.

A daily Brunch Menu is centered around composed Latin American and Caribbean breakfast dishes with rotating pastries and a unique Sandwich called Bokit (a stuffed fry bread from the French Islands of Guadeloupe).

Snacks vary from a simple play on Chex Mix to a fun tableside version of a Raclette queso fundido.

Dinner transitions into a more select atmosphere with the food offering a variety of plant-based small plates and large format proteins cooked over coals

    Supper cute!! Service wasn’t the greatest because of how busy it was, I would suggest hiring more servers or food runners. Food is pricey. Bathrooms had no toilet paper; I was at my table for 3 hrs… so no one checked it the entire time we were there.

    This is easily my new favorite place to have brunch in San Diego. Not only is the inside so cute w many photo-ready moments, but also the food was amazing. I highly recommend the chilaquiles either to share or as a meal, the boriqua bowl, and the jerk chicken gnocchi. All of these were so yummy. The gnocchi was my meal and I’d come back in a heartbeat to have it again. They had a great DJ when we dined as well and I loved the vibe.

    There weren’t many servers and they took time for the drinks to arrive. Plus they charge you a 5% service fee on top of tip.

    It was an absolute terrible experience, I went there for my birthday day and had a terrible experience with our waitress. She was very confrontational about us moving tables, we sat there for an hour without her ever taking our food order, she was very rude and nasty with my family and I. There was no other staff that came over to try and intervene to make things right. We ended up leaving after several attempts to have things rectified.

    The restaurant has a great vibe . We sat at the bar and had excellent service with Jett. We felt The food was overpriced and substandard . We had the bone marrow with steak tartare. Hardly any marrow and tartare. The potato’s were just ok .. We couldn’t get top shelf Vodka as well which was also disappointing. Oh well …

    I went to this place for a birthday brunch and was disappointed when some guy who wasn’t our server(not sure if he was a host or management) came up to our table to remind us of a 90 minute seating rule and that our time was about to come up and pointed at the table next to us who had some people standing saying that they had a large party and they were waiting for us to leave to take over our table. Mind you 1. We were never told about a 90 minute rule and 2. After looking at the time of our reservation, we still had 45 minutes left sitting there. We told the guy that we were done and had paid our food however we were waiting on a birthday dessert that we had requested. 20 minutes later, still no dessert. But we sure had another employee come up and ask if we would be willing to change tables so that they can seat that large party. They offered us a round on them for the inconvenience. After not showing us where the table we were being moved to was, we found it on our own and waited for the birthday dessert and a server to order our drinks. 15 minutes later, no one came. Good ambiance. Horrible service. Expensive menu for subpar food.

    I did not enjoy my experience here. It was not made clear when booking reservations that happy hour was only at the bar. In addition, the atmosphere, staff, and customer base were not welcoming, felt like LA in San Diego. I would not come back here again.

    Our experience was great. Our waitress AND all the staff that was around took care of us and was very lovely. Little things they did such as getting us more ceviche juice, swapping out drinks one is us didn’t like and food recommendations stood out and definitely made us want to come back! Thank you so so much!

    Mother’s Day brunch, super busy!! I can understand the craziness with this day, but it definitely was slower service and the food came out separate as it was done. Our server was friendly and fun, and you could tell she was working her #*$ off! Party of 5 and we were sat at a 4 top with a extra chair, this was lame as the table was crowded and tucked way in the back. You would assume with a reservation made more than a week in advance we would have got a better table, but overall the experience was still enjoyable.

    Venue was nice! The food was amazing. The atmosphere was very energetic. I found this place off tiktok so I thought it would be cool to take my mom and grandma there for mothers day. I made the reservation a month in advance which it was almost booked out. They seemed annoyed with our party of 7 and sat us in the corner on the inside by the kitchen. Normally I wouldn’t mind but they seem to favor the younger crowd to experience the outside atmosphere. I know it was mothers day busy but they had big parties on the patio as well. It did seem age biased. There were 2 other groups that sat by us that were an older crowd. It was just interesting how it all played out. As we were finishing up the server came to the table multiple times trying to wrap us up. They do tell you on the reservation that you have a certain time frame to be seated which we were well within. It was a little disappointing just because we had a bill of over $400 and forsure tipped well. It’s not like we were just sitting around and not ordering.

    Brunch was very yummy, everything we ordered was tasty and food came out in a timely manner once you put your order in. Service was very slow, I think they didn’t expect to be real busy on Wednesday morning, but since it was Mexican mother’s day it was full and clearly there wasn’t enough servers. The gentleman at the bar took our drink and food order, while doing all the drink orders; his service was the best from all the other servers that popped to our table. I’ll definitely come back for the tasty meals and cute spot, hoping service isn’t as slow.

    Noise level of music was very unpleasant, not relaxing at all for a Sunday brunch. Club beat and very loud the music was so loud, we rushed through food, picked up more cocktails at another restaurant. I had a warm and very unexciting salad, not good, though others in our party did enjoy their meal. Waitress wasn’t attentive, no silverware when food arrived, I had to go get some, one meal served well after other three were served. Waitress said she’d do a group photo for us and forgot twice….there are better restaurant choices out there.

    We had a reservation for 6:30 and weren’t seated until 7pm, we then had to ask the hostess when our waitress would be coming as we waiting an additional 15 minutes with no service. We asked if there was anything they could do to comp us for the wait and they sent bottom shelf warm tequila shots. The food was good but severely over priced. Overall it was a very poor experience and we likely will not be coming back.

    We were seated right away and the young lady that seated us was very nice and cheerful. Ased if where she had a table was okay with us. She handed us the menus. About 5 minutes after we were seated we were given some luke warm water. We waited between 10 and 15 minutes and no waitress or waiteress stopped by to see if we were ready to order. We got up and left. We will not be back again. It looked like a fun place to eat and their taco Tuesday sounded great. ALso were disappointed in the price online of their happy hour on facebookj. The post we saw was from March of this year but the price difference was huge between the price then and last night. Thetacos tray was listed as $19 but on the menu last night it was $25. We understand everyone is raising their prices but we thought that was extreme.
