Aquí Está Coco
Aquí Está Coco Review
The best seafood in Santiago is served in a dining room where the walls are covered with flotsam and jetsam found on Chilean beaches. Ask your waiter—or friendly owner "Coco" Pacheco—which fish was caught that day. This is a good place to try Chile's famous machas (clams), served with tomatoes and Parmesan cheese, or corvina (sea bass) grilled with plenty of butter. Don't miss the cellar, where you can sample wines from the extensive collection of Chilean vintages.

Four of us dined on a Friday evening. The decor was amazing and fun, the service excellent and prompt, the value for the price quite good. The food was hit or miss however. Good were: spinach blini/centolla appetizer, congrio mai mai. Not so good: reineta salteado (too salty), congrio salteado (boring), pebre (watery). The chocolate dessert trio was uninspired and disturbing presentation. But, for the decor, it is a fun place to go and have a great time being treated well.

I am living in Santiago right now just around the corner from Coco. It finally reopened about three weeks ago and had dinner there last weekend. Very nice. Beautifully decorated; wonderful service; and the food was great. Prices in the 8,000 -12,000 CP ($16-$20 American) for entrees. With an appetizer, two glasses of wine and dessert and coffee we spent 50,000 CP (a little under $100), including a 15% tip. Tipping here is 10%, but I always throw in a little more. You will need a reservation, at least on weekends, as the crowds have already returned. I have only eaten there once, so not yet ready to give a 5 on food, but it's well worth a visit.

The end of April opening date appears optomistic. Construction is in progress, but its still looking a long way from completion... forced to rate so just picked 1's...

The description is amazing both in our 2009 Fodor's book & here on the website. We would love to go here - mouth waters when reading about it - but apparently, this restaurant burned down in 2008. Looks like they are working on reconstruction, but it has not reopened yet. Not sure why this wasn't updated but here's the link to the restaurant's letter. http://www.aquiestacoco.cl/home_ing.htm (Note: The rating is low only because I couldn't leave it blank.)
