We perform checks on reviews.
Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

El Coco was incredible! The prices are unbeatable, and our waiter Earlyn was attentive and made the experience so much fun. If you’re a truly ‘discerning’ foodie, this might not be your first choice, but if you’re looking for solid food, $5 margaritas, and a fantastic atmosphere, there’s nothing better in Manhattan! Also LOVE pink lights and disco ball.. it’s the vibe! I’m from NYC and it’s def not touristy - a lot of local ppl getting off happy hour. Special shout out to the bartender Brandon!

If you’re ever looking for a vibrant environment with great, affordable drinks, El Coco is the place! I HIGHLY recommend server Jus, he is so attentive, accommodating, and overall just awesome! 10/10 experience if you have him as a server.

Great spot for a last minute outing !! Came after work with my friend and the host sat us right away. And we couldn’t have a better waiter for the night, Earlyn! So attentive and sweet. He kept checking on us and making sure if we didn’t need anything. 10/10 !!!

Earlyn was our server and he was amazing! I’ve been here many times since I work nearby, and he’s been my server many times. My fav’s are the classic margarita and the chicken tinga empanadas. Such a good place to go pregame or for drinks and a snack.

This is my second time coming to happy hour and our bartender Brandon was beyond amazing, very attentive and charismatic. The employees all are very attentive and their food such as empanadas and dip is BOMB , it’s becoming a regular happy hour spot for me.
