Coco Hut - New Orleans

Coco Hut is real deal authentic Caribbean food. I had the Jerk Salmon and it was the best… It was full of flavor and just the right amount of heat. My husband and son ordered the jerk chicken and it was so good. The heat is real if your one who likes it spicy (My husband) he was sweating while eating it and loved it. Their sides were so good. I love the greens, the flavor was lovely, and the homemade dressings for the salads were amazing. They also do in house teas…. So good. I can’t wait to go back to New Orleans to visit this place. Put this restaurant on you “ To do list.”

Pearl in New Orleans!! Coco hut is must eat if you are in New Orleans. Food is delicious and filling. The menu has some of the traditional Jamaican dishes you get but they bring a great seafood flair. The seafood is delicious fresh and fun. The staff is welcoming friendly and helpful. The atmosphere is amazing! It’s a place you have to put on repeat list it’s just that great!

I was beyond thrilled to find a halal eatery which was also such a great experience! The menu changes every day but they have some staples like the jerk chicken and the wraps. You can sit inside and enjoy the funky Caribbean ambience complete with flags from the world over, photos of Bob Marley and reggae music or you can sit outside and enjoy the neighborhood sights. The food was delicious and well spiced we got the chicken jerky with rice and salad and the chicken wrap. We asked for the extra spicy version. It was prepared right in front of us and was fresh.To say that this meal was delicious would be an understatement. So lost were we in the delicious food that for a couple of minutes, we just sat quietly, eating and enjoying our meal. We also got the sugarcane juice to which they added mint and lemon a nice touch for that humid day. However the best thing about this place is the owner her name is Mother Nature and she is a real gem of a person warm and friendly. She is from the Caribbean and was delighted to learn about my Indian background she said her grandma was from India and taught her a lot of the cooking techniques from the region I was super impressed Totally recommend this place affordable, great service, great portion size and a very friendly, laid back atmosphere.

Presentation was on point, very colorful food and flavors meshed well together. A friend bought it for me because as always, he was bragging on the food. From my understanding, it’s a healthy spin on the food but the rice and shrimp weren’t as flavorful without the spicy sauce. The salad was plentiful and really good..I could taste the freshness. I drizzled ranch on the food and it gave it life, no lie. I’ll definitely return and try something else. I recommend!

The staff is very sweet and attentive. The prices are decent. We had two jerk chicken plates and two drinks it was about 35 bucks. The chicken was flavorful but soooooooo spicy even my rice! Slightly overwhelming but it could have been just one of them days. More bones than chicken too but can't win them all. But overall a place I would say check out!
