| - Since trying Coconut's Fish Cafe, I go almost every other week. The first time, like most first-timers, they sold me on the fish tacos. These tacos are massive, not wimpy-shrimpy tacos. It was a filling meal. However, I would not rate this place solely on this dish, though it does get a lot of attention.
On my second trip, I wanted to try a few of the appetizers. The calamari were good, but the coconut shrimp was incredible. It tasted almost like too much of a "treat" to not be a dessert, the shrimp were good size and the coconut flavor was rich and expansive.
On my third visit, and now for every subsequent visit, I stick to my favorite dish: Blackened mahi-mahi "local style", served with brown rice and slaw. It is an incredible, perfect-sized health dish for a hungry patron during lunch or dinner. The only thing that kind of weirds me out is that the dish is served with a tomato slice with shredded cheese on top, maybe it's a traditional thing but I didn't find anything on Google. At any rate, if you don't want it they are happy to not include it with your meal.
The staff are always attentive, immediately after my food arrives I am set up with napkins and silverware (and a bottle of Tiger sauce, now that they know I love it) and even when busy the staff make it a priority to ensure everyone is enjoying their meal.
Last but not least, the store is always EXCEPTIONALLY clean. Condiments are always filled, bottles are clean (I hate when you grab a condiment and get leftover on your hand, gross!) and there isn't a speck of dust or food whenever I sit down. Bathrooms are exceptional too!
TL:DR:
Coconut's on Shea and Scottsdale is fantastic, but if you've only tried the fish tacos and were not impressed, give something else a shot!
