Puerto Rican Lunch at Phoenix Coqui

Join us for some authentic Puerto Rican food in this unique location. A friend and I tried their lunch the other day, and it was super good and the prices were very reasonable. I posted a copy of the menu below and some pictures of the food.
We both tried the Plato de Pernil (pictured below) and I got an order of Tostones (plenty to share!!) A woman at another table tried the Cubano Sandwich and could not say enough good things about it.

There is plenty of parking in the back - enter via the drive just to the north of the building.

Fun Facts About the Coquí

• The Name: It is an onomatopoeic word, meaning it sounds like the loud, two-note call ("co-kee") the male frogs make at night.
• Cultural Symbol: The frog is a beloved national symbol of Puerto Rico.
