Coa Mexican Eatery Tequileria

First time here and was blown away by how fresh and tasty all the food was! Reasonably priced, friendly staff. This is one of our new favorites for when we visit La Conner!

While visiting friends, they took us to COA. And we are glad they did. A modern touch with classic Mexican meals and some new creations. The service was quick and his recommendations were spot on.

UPDATE: 8/2024. Called to talk to a manager about the music because friends wanted to go to COA again. I explained to the person who answered the phone why I was calling. The manager was standing right there while the employee relayed why I was calling in Spanish. Too busy to talk, but leave name and number. So far no call back. I realize most people will go to COA and tolerate the loud music. My friends will. They likely won 't miss my money which is fine with me. But people who do care need to know they won 't do anything about it or even talk about it. UPDATE: 7/2024. Couldn 't say no to dinner. OMG! Turn down the music!. If you won 't do it for your customers then do it for your employees. They are all going to have hearing problems when they get older from working at COA. I don 't know what sounds you are trying to cover up in the kitchen, but they must be bad. April 2024. Unless I am eating with a friend, I always get my orders to go so I haven 't eaten at their new location until today. As always, the food and service were excellent, but it was LOUD inside!!! There was a large table with 3 or families and kids talking loudly and watching an IPad. LOUD. Then the place filled up because of Taco Tuesday. LOUD. The music (which no one else could hear because the conversations and table noise was so loud) was also loud with a very heavy base. Realizing nothing can or should be done to ask customers to quiet down I asked if the music could be turned off. We were sitting right under one of the speakers. I asked two different people three different times. Either they couldn 't or wouldn 't turn it down. If I hadn 't been with my 90 year-old friend, I would have gotten up and walked out. She couldn 't hear anything but the base and she is too polite to say anything. I will be getting orders to go from now on and if my friend suggests COA for lunch, I will pass.

If you're coming from out of town and only get a few meals in La Conner skip this place. The vibe and drinks are good but the food is terrible. The beans in the rice and beans are plain cannellini beans with no spices. The tortilla chips are rock hard and the corn tortillas are floppy and flavorless. Worst of all everything is soooo bland. Definitely the worst Mexican food I've had in a long time.

In a large group for dinner, service was excellent and the food was great. Presentation of dinner was one of the best I've seen!
