We have always had an amazing time at Coa De Jima! Our server Olivia was so kind and knowledgeable on all the drinks and gave us amazing recommendations! She recommended the Mar Y Tierra & pumpkin flan and it was delicious! Last time our server (red head, Daniel I believe) was also truly exquisite and very much something special to remember. He made us fall in love with the Coa-rita’s and the horchata french toast! Can’t wait to come back and enjoy such great food and atmosphere.

Our first time to Coa de Jima & I'm hoping not our last! We had some birthday travel plans change & decided to try a new spot to celebrate in town. The atmosphere is cool, good music, beautiful & thoughtful decor. It's dark (what you would expect), but it all makes sense when you see some of the flaming plates arrive around you. Our server Anna was fantastic, the whole staff was. We started with calamari & a couple drinks (I highly recommend the Winnie de Pooh). The calamari was unlike any I've had before (the size of mozzarella sticks) & the sauces, they need to bottle those. My boyfriend had the Milanesa & loved it, I had the Carne Asada & the flavors were all so good. Usually the beans are just a side/filler, but their black beans are SO GOOD. The only off thing was how things were served - AWESOME presentation, just a little awkward to eat. But that could just be me. 😊 We were asked when we walked in if we were celebrating anything special & they brought us ice cream with a sparkler in it, to top off his birthday night. It was a fun night out from start to finish, and made us feel like we got to go on a little vacation anyway. Thank you!!!

I don't write many restaurant reviews, but this place deserves one. We had the Pollo en Chipotle, it was incredible. The beans, rice, and chicken all had amazing, but not overwhelming flavor. We also had the guacamole, which was also perfect. All staff was professional and courteous. I believe our waitress was Dylan-she was efficient and very pleasant. Thank you, my wife and I had a great experience!

Great food, amazing drinks and awesome staff. Daniel, thx for making our anniversary a great one! We killed the appetizers. Octopus and pork belly were my favorites.

We had other plans fall through and were told to catch happy hour here. We were lucky enough to score bar seats at the cozy bar, and it was an absolutely fantastic experience in our relatively short time there. The bartenders, Ben and Matt, were personable, on point in service while being crazy busy from the floor, and really made our experience so much better. They have a cool...tree...behind the bar that is fun and makes the energetic atmosphere unique. Sorry I didn't get any pics of the floor and other room, but the place was fun with great food and drink. It was a two for one deal on drinks, and their margaritas were tasty. We did the esquites, which had awesome popcorn in it, first, and then did the birria and ahi street tacos, also on special, per the bartender's recommendation. They were DELICIOUS. I can't decide if the great service, well-made margs, the esquites, the street tacos, or the awesome energy in the place had the highest marks of the day, but it was definitely, without question, a five. I highly recommend swinging by here, and see you there (the next time we are in Boise)...
