Phoenix Coqui
Mexican · Phoenix, AZ
About
Most Puerto Rican spots in Phoenix are food trucks, but Phoenix Coqui evolved from one into a brick-and-mortar restaurant in 2022. Co-owners Juan Ayala and Alexis Carbajal met in San Juan and moved to Phoenix in 2014, bringing Juan's family Boricua recipes with them. The menu covers classics like mofongo, pernil, and empanadillas, plus vegan versions of empanadas and tostones. It's BIPOC-owned, budget-friendly, and dog-friendly with beer and wine.
It's casual inside, and the owners emphasize hospitality that feels like home. Save room for flan or quesitos. If you're in the mood for a different tropical vibe nearby, Hula's Modern Tiki is a solid option for tiki cocktails and island-inspired fare.
