Not good at all and overpriced
This place is going downhill. First time i went there like 2 yrs ago it was pretty good. I had the chance of going one more time and it will be the last. Waited to long for my food, not authentic venezuelan food, extremely overpriced. Even the Passion Fruit was unappetizing, weak tasting. I would not recommend this place anymore. Before I did it but now I regret coming back there. Believe me making Venezuelan food it is not too complicated. Specially if you are ordering some simple Arepas and Empanadas. By the way I'm Venezuelan.

Fantastico
My first experience at El Cocotero was fantastic. Amazing and authentic home-cooked food, and great drinks. I look forward to trying everything on the menu. I would also recommend calling or stopping by on a Sunday. Sometimes they have special dishes that are not on the menu. I had the best arroz con pollo (Chicken & rice) I've ever had on a Sunday at Cocotero. The owner/manager is professional, personable, and takes his cooking seriously. Check it out!

make sure you have time
excellent food. called in an order for pick up and was told it would be ready in 10 mins. It took ONE HOUR for an arepa and an empanada. restaurant was empty, too. worth the wait, but make sure you have the time. also no apology. this place is definately on island time.

delicious food !
I love El Cocotero!! Their food is delicious and very authentic. I moved to nyc from caracas about 15 years ago and I go here every time I feel homesick. Their Arepas are delicious, authentic but at the same time original. Other yummy treats are tequenos, Cachapas, and pabellon. The ambiance and the service is not only great but warm and very inviting! Lucho, the owner, is always around to share a laugh. Very good !!

Pleasant discovery
I "discovered" this Venezuelan restaurant during my last stay in NY. Sympathetic restaurant with an atmosphere, great food, friendly waiter. It was my first but certainly not last visit there.

Pretty Good Food & Cozy Place Owesome Sangria!!
My husband and I go there pretty often. I love the Sangrias here yummy yummy. The waiters and waitresses are very friendly specially Marcelo & Marisol, they make us feel at home. The food is Fantastic!! If you like Latin Food, you will find the food quite delicious there. Some of the dishes, for example, the appetizers I find to be a little expensive because they're small portions. I believe the owner can do better on that, but then again the place is located in Chelsea so that can explain the prices. But overall is fair, I love the Patacones, Arepas, Ayacas, etc. Very good food good service.
