Their lamb sandwich was so good. A kind lady (maybe the owner?) recommended it to me & proposed to do it her way. So I decided to try it out & it was the best lamb sandwich I've had so far. So tender & juicy.

I recently went to Coco Rico, & I honestly can't stop thinking about how good the food was. This place delivers on every level - flavor, value, & overall experience - & it's one of those restaurants you immediately want to tell people about after your first visit.

I ordered the chicken sandwich with potatoes, & it was absolutely outstanding. The chicken itself was perfectly cooked: juicy, tender, & packed with flavor. You can really tell it's prepared with care & experience - nothing dry, nothing bland, just incredibly satisfying from the first bite to the last. The potatoes that came with it were just as impressive. They were creamy, rich, & comforting in the best way possible, almost melting in your mouth, & paired perfectly with the chicken. Together, it felt like a simple dish done exceptionally well.

The staff deserve a huge amount of praise. Everyone was friendly, welcoming, & genuinely happy to help. You never feel rushed or ignored, & that warmth really adds to the experience. It's the kind of place where you feel comfortable right away, whether it's your first visit or your tenth.

One of the most impressive things about Coco Rico is how amazingly affordable everything is. For the quality of food you're getting, the prices are more than fair - & the portions are huge. You leave feeling full, satisfied, & genuinely surprised at how much value you got for your money. It's rare to find a place that combines generous portions, great prices, & excellent food so consistently.

This is absolutely a spot I would recommend to all family & friends. It's perfect for a casual meal, a comforting lunch, or even bringing someone who's never tried Portuguese-style chicken before. Speaking of which - if you love Portuguese food, this place is a must. The flavors, the preparation, & the overall heart behind the cooking really shine through.

Coco Rico is the kind of restaurant that reminds you why you love discovering great local spots. Delicious food, amazing value, friendly staff, & a meal that leaves you happy & already planning your next visit. Everyone should try this place at least once - chances are, once won't be enough.

After having a great meal at this place, I went over to Champs & got zooted in $5 PBRs

Même après pratiquement 50 ans, c'est toujours aussi bon & simple. Quand je suis de passage à Montréal & que j'ai une fringale, un excellent sandwich au poulet ou un plat de poulet parfaitement cuit & savoureux. Un petit trésor du quartier ☺?

This is becoming one of my favourite places to order food from. Always tastes fresh. Love their pork sandwiches. They are good size for the price & very delicious

I don't know what the history of this place is but it has the marks of a restaurant with tenure. Typical rotisserie menu featuring sandwiches & BBQ plates. Obviously the star of the show here is the meat, but they also have the best Portugese style roast potatoes I've had in Montreal. I love the texture of those balls of goodness, my favourite form of potato after the unbeatable french fry. Slim seating options so takeaway is likely a common option. Prices are good for these times especially for quality, freshly cooked food like this.

I have been going to cocorico for almost 20 years & it's still the best place in Montréal For some of the most tender three Portuguese chicken in the city.

Service has always been absolutely friendly above & be on the call of duty. & half an hour before closing, I went in to have a chicken sandwich special - I never felt rushed, & the food was so fresh & so very hot. The chicken sandwich on a fresh roll, with extra sauce - medium, not too spicy, the home potatoes, & creamy coleslaw is my comfort food. I feel bad for the people who had ordered takeout & felt they were short changed, but I've made it a point to eat at the restaurant, & I've always had overstuffed buns with moist chicken breast & crispy skin. The Natas deserve a whole other review on their own - but just this to say, if you feel like you too hungry, take six of them to go - & your night will be complete :) I got to chat with one of the co-owners - who was a delight, bubbly & friendly, & we went down memory lane talking about how being a kid in the 1970s was such a privilege & so much fun. So that's how I ended my night with a full & happy belly & some wonderful shared laughter.

As much as I love Schwartz's, I say skip the lineup & walk up the street to Coco Rico. You'll be happy you did :)

I'm usually vegetarian but I broke it for this chicken sandwich...& I'll do it again. This was so delicious. The portugese bun with the downright succulent chicken & a lil shmear of mayo?! Simply perfect. The devil is in the details & I saw no evil here. Highly recommend. Potatoes & salads also splendid.

Le meilleur poulet à Montréal, period. Je suis une fidèle cliente de ce petit restaurant portugais depuis mon arrivée ici. La carte est courte mais toutes les propositions sont savoureuses. On vient ici surtout pour leur délicieux poulets bbq rôtis à la broche devant nous qu'on vous offre entier, ou à la coupe de votre choix ou encore en délicieux sandwichs. En accompagnement vous avez leurs célèbres petites pommes de terre & un assortiment de salade aux choix. C'est d'ailleurs ici que j'ai découvert la meilleures salade de macaroni du monde! Les petits pains sont légers, aériens avec leurs croûte bien craquantes, ils fondent en bouche. L'endroit est petit & souvent plein, la majorité des clients viennent pour un take out ou s'installer aux quelques places le long du mur. Pour cette raison la rapidité du service est parfois aléatoire, mais tous les employés sont très polis & gentils. Il y a aussi une petite terrasse ouverte dans la belle période. C'est vraiment un restaurant qui fait partie du patrimoine de la Maine depuis plus d'1/4 de siècle & ça continue. Vous êtes tannés de faire la file pour aller chez Schwartz's? Tournez votre tête juste un peu & rendez vous sans attendre à cette adresse incontournable! À Concesione, Nelson & toute l'équipe, merci pour votre super travail. Bien hâte de voir le nouvel emplacement.

A little gem in little Portugal. Great sandwiches, simple, traditional, tasty. A variety of salad choices, bread, pastel de Nata. I like to come here when I am really hungry (after the gym), for the food, the affordability, the friendliness, & the typical cosmopolitan St Laurent ambiance. The staff speaks 3 or more languages.

Great Portuguese fast food. I've been going there for 35 years. It's the same good roasting chicken dripping on the potatoes you see roasting in the oven machines. Everything is delicious & they have the best natas. I always take a sandwich, I ask to add a red pepper & some smashed roasted potatoes with the sauce & épices.

This is a staple on the Main for decades. This place has been producing some of the best ribs, rotisserie chicken, sausage, roasted potatoes as well as sides such as their amazing Cole slaws & salads. This is a restaurant that's not about eating in with table service & such. It's mostly about take out & having a quick bite at the stool counter while people line up to order food. The displays show enticing yummy food while you wait to be served & by the time it's your time to order, you now want a little of everything! I have had everything here, but I have to say that one absolute MUST is their Nata pastry. These are made fresh & usually still warm in their display leaving the pastry crust light & flaky & the filling (an egg custard like filling) smooth & creamy. I doubt you can only eat one - I certainly can't. So to the food. Ribs: large & meaty pork ribs are perfectly cooked & seasoned. Chicken: rotisserie is fantastic juicy & skin nicely crisp. Their chicken sandwich is near perfection for a simple light fluffy fresh bun filled with fresh chicken, allowing the chicken to be the star of the meal & it was fantastic. Roasted potatoes: perfectly seasoned & cooked perfectly such that they are creamy inside & slightly crisp on the outside. Sausage: not overtly hot nor spicy, however as you begin to swallow you can feel a low warm heat develop & it's just right. They are cooked well such that the casing is nice & snappy crisp. It's a very densely packed sausage & very firm. Roasted lamb & pork: scrumptious.

The best. Perry chicken in town. I've been coming here for 30 years. Last time I ordered a white chicken sandwich with sauce & mayonnaise. It was fantastic.
