To start the party authentically, get a regular margarita, $6, splashed with Patron, orange liquor, Grand Marnier, lime, salt, or for something a bit wilder, order a fun margarita, $6, floating with pieces of red and green apple.
Coco's cocktails taste even better paired with its spicy grub: giant Patacones (fried green plantains), $7, topped with refried pinto beans, chipotle-marinated chicken, lettuce, tomato and cheddar cheese, served with a guacamole side, and Aztec soup, $7, shredded chicken, sour cream, cheddar cheese and local avocado slices.
Enthusiasm soars high when you gulp a second drink between bites of enchiladas, $10, covered in basil-jalapeno green sauce, garnished with sliced avocado, served with sides of whole pinto beans, Mexican-style rice, sliced cabbage and pico de gallo.
