About this restaurant

Great for scenic views
Good for groups
Neighborhood gem

Havana meets Madrid at Coco Palm, the beautiful hilltop restaurant overlooking the San Gabriel Valley. Begin your evening with a Mojito or Sangria in the lounge, and then enjoy dinner while listening to our house music in the elegant restaurant, specializing in traditional Spanish and Cuban cuisine. Don't miss the Paella Valencia or the House Steak, a 55oz bone-in ribeye chop for sharing. A variety of fresh seafood is available daily from broiled lobster, fresh salmon and Sea Bass in our mango-miso sauce.

On Sunday we offer a wonderful mix of brunch items from our a la carte brunch menu.

Valet Parking is mandatory on most days and nights. Obligatory valet service fee is $8 per vehicle.

A Quick Note for Our Guests:
We’re now a cashless establishment. Thank you for your understanding and support!

We have been here many times and are very fond of the restaurant. Had Sunday brunch and recognized that the quality of the food has declined compared to past visits. Maybe it was an off day but definitely caught me by surprise. Without mentioning anything to anyone else at the table another person in our regular party noticed the same thing. Again hopeful this food experience is an anomaly.

Made reservations for the patio. Got there and I was told it wasn’t available because a party requested outdoors as well for their birthday. So what’s the point of reservations if my request won’t be granted.

Food and service was great , but unfortunately this venue is out dated . The entrance is your first impression, touch up the place with a little paint and wipe off all the spider webs and clean your glass door. Like I said , can't complain about the food and service , but just walking up to the hostess and waiting outside made me feel dirty.

Very nice place, staff are friendly and professional. Food and wine is good. Only thing is when we do reservations it takes awhile to be seated. Even though there are a lot of seats open.

Service was poor. Your drink comes almost after food. And they rush you for next order of food when you didn’t even get the drink and not even half way thru the starter. For parking even though i parked myself they asked me for valet parking cost of $8 plus unnecessary tip. They never took the car key either. Kind of rip off there. Why you want valet parking only days when you can just park right there. Food is good though everything else is an average to low.
