Rotisserie Coco Rico

“ Walked 50 minutes to visit Coco Rico. Definitely worth the walk. The staff was very nice. The poutine was amazing because of the juicy chicken! The Pastel de Nata was also very good! Had 3 all to myself! ”

“ 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 and salads. This is a restaurant that’s not about eating in with table service and such. It’s mostly about take out and 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 and 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 and usually still warm in their display leaving the pastry crust light and flaky and the filling (an egg custard like filling) smooth and creamy. I doubt you can only eat one - I certainly can’t. So to the food. Ribs: large and meaty pork ribs are perfectly cooked and seasoned. Chicken: rotisserie is fantastic juicy and 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 and it was fantastic. Roasted potatoes: perfectly seasoned and cooked perfectly such that they are creamy inside and 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 and it’s just right. They are cooked well such that the casing is nice and snappy crisp. It’s a very densely packed sausage and very firm. Roasted lamb and pork: scrumptious. ”

“ Wonderful Family Business with a heartwarming atmosphere. The owner is absolutely amazing! Pastel de Nata- best in town, poutain (very large portions)- wonderful! It's perfect for a quick dinner, they offer chicken and salads on the side, also portugeese bread. 10/10! ”

“ I know this place has a lot of food on the menu but the only thing we tried were the Pastel de Nata. Wow Delicious and they could definitely compete with the one we ate in Portugal. Highly recommended! ”

“ 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 and they have the best natas. I always take a sandwich, I ask to add a red pepper and some smashed roasted potatoes with the sauce et epices. ”

“ 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 and 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. ”

“ We went to one of the more famous Portuguese chicken places and were really disappointed. We immediately went to Coco Rico (which I used to eat at years ago and remembered fondly) and had a WAY better experience. Don't sleep on Coco Rico. The chicken leg and potatoes are top-notch. People are great. Food amazing. Get a Brio. Forget Ma Poulle blah blah blah. Go here instead. ”

“ The best place to experience the authentic taste of barbecued pork, lamb, or chicken. A cozy atmosphere, friendly staff, and, most importantly, the warm and welcoming attitude of the Portuguese owner made our day. Don’t forget to try their famous Portuguese dessert, pastel de nata, which is arguably the best you can find in Montreal. Highly recommended! ”
