I ate at the original Coconut's on Maui for the first time three years ago and the fish tacos turned me into a fish lover, I DO NOT like fish that has a fishy flavor so I have avoided eating it all my life. Not so after eating at Coconut's on Maui.
When I found out they were coming to Scottsdale I emailed the Maui owner to let him know how thrilled I was they were coming to AZ.
My husband and I were invited to the pre-opening party which we sadly missed but we made it in for dinner tonight, grand opening day.
The original owner Mike and the franchise owner Kim were there to greet customers. That is one of Coconut's draws on Maui, the friendly service and I can tell Mike has made sure that it will continue here in AZ, you will feel the Hawaiian Aloha when you walk in.
Let me tell you..... the food was as good as it is at the Maui Coconut's.
The fish tacos are not to be missed, they boast using 17 ingredients and they are large enough to share although I ate all of mine by myself. This fish is so fresh and they make everything on their menu fresh from scratch daily.
You can't find fish any better than this anywhere in AZ, and again it is as good as the fish at the Maui store.
Their fish and chips are lightly breaded and you get one piece of mahi mahi and one piece of ono with fries. All delicious.
Their coleslaw is their secret recipe and uses coconut milk, it really is the best coleslaw I have eaten.
The décor is similar to the Maui store even the surf board tables are made by the same craftsman.
Do yourself a favor, if you want a fresh, light and healthy but EXTREMELY yummy meal give them a try.
p.s. they also have chicken, vegetarian choices and beef but you will be missing out if you do not try the fish.
Thank you Mike and Kim!
