The Coqui Here - Forsyth

Real PuertoRican (caribean) food! Big portions, good prices. Dont be scared to try Mofongo or tostones, both made with fresh Platains

This was one of the worst experiences my family and I have had. For starters, the menu isn't done very well, too many poor/tiny pictures and not enough organization or explanation (for someone who hasn't had Caribbean food) Also, not enough American choices. I understand bringing new flavor into town, but you need more traditional items on the menu. Also, we thought they had a bar(facebook suggested this), they don't and that was disappointing.Next, service and wait time. All of the staff was friendly, especially the owner, Juan. But they weren't that busy and the staff seemed to be in chaos, three waiters and the owner came by our table, but nothing ever seemed to get done. As friendly as they are, we waited a long time for our order to be taken and then for the meal, all of the food came out at different times.The flavor of the meats were fine, but everything was overcooked, black/crispy. Didn't enjoy the rice. Fried plantains were fine.I want to end by saying we were really looking forward to The Coqui opening in Forsyth and like the thought of variety, but as of now we can't go back. In a town like Forsyth, you need repeat customers.Early breakfast( eggs, pancakes, biscuits& gravy, etc), more american food options for lunch and dinner and a staff that flows better, will be needed if Coqui is going to make it in Forsyth. I wish Juan the best of luck, and hope they are able to adapt to our towns needs and stick around.

To say this was a Caribbean food no way the flavor was like rice pilaf the shrimp was overcooked the chicken and beef was dry there was no Caribbean flavor at all there wasn't any spice at all we waited 25 minutes the chicken alfredo was like a alfredo sauce out of a package and they mixed it and they didn't even dissolve the powder it was clumpy powdery Alfredo horrible I got the pineapple muck rice pilaf no flavor the shrimp was dry it was horrible no spice the only thing that was okay was a plantains fried plantains just can't screw those up no matter what nationality worst meal I ever got in my life it was horrible the people that put good reviews either work there or a family or friends of them wanting them to stay open Forsyth all I have to say is kick them out save your dollar kick him out

The wait staff wasn't very good and the food lacked in good flavor.

The food here is fantastic, and the service is exceptional. It truly brought back the vibrant flavors of South Florida in a way I've longed for—finally, something other than the bland Mexican food typically found in the Ozarks. I highly recommend giving this place a try; it could really change your life. The wait is definitely worth it, as everything is made fresh to order. The owner is friendly and takes the time to thank every new guest. I’ll definitely be spreading the word to my friends and family. They’re also planning to host Latin nights with karaoke, which I’m really looking forward to. I wish this restaurant nothing but success and growth. Thank you, Juan, for everything you’re doing; the food truly speaks for itself.
