Coco's Soul Food in Preston

Small and delightful food place with reasonable prices and quality food. Variety of menu and various specials offer a wide selection of dishes to try out. Fans of spicy food will feel at home over here. The staff are friendly, and while the place itself may come off as rather small and cramped there is additional seating upstairs enough that outside of extreme rush hour situations one can find a place to sit comfortably for dining in. The interior decor may be an acquired taste, but fits thematically for its age.

Always amazing. Great atmosphere, staff and food.

Great food. Space is limited. Very affordable. But all I want to know is when Bob Marley became a muslim? 🙈😹😹😹 Lovely halal place.

Very nice food family run bussiness

Honestly so overhyped i tried the burrito, jerk chicken burger, jerk chicken eith rice, and cocos soul foods burger and the flavors are just horrible .. homemade chips were alright tho tbh

Incredible food, lovely stuff, and constantly refreshed menu. Love the food here. Cute little place for a catch up with mates and cheeky meals. Edit a year later: the food is still just as amazing!!

always a hit! always get the tropical mango chilli chicken with chips and the mango salad and never waivers! perfect and hits the spot every, single, time! wish i could rate this 1001/10

I visited during my trip to Preston to see family and really enjoyed the food, though I wasn’t a fan of the skin-on fries. I highly recommend the chicken burger and the Korean BBQ wings!

Big portions of tasty filling food. The best goat curry I’ve had in a while. Friendly staff. Loads of seating (seats upstairs too). Staff are friendly and welcoming. Prices are reasonable for portion size. Well presented. This place has a real homely feel to it. Highly recommended.

So impressed by Coco’s Soul Foods! Fantastic Caribbean food in a family run business. Love the casual vibe and the food

As a casual dining / take away option this was first rate. Delicious food, good fast friendly service and fair price.

Been coming to cocos for the last 10 years, and the food and service has always been 10/10, price is slighlty on the higher side compared to other local food places but the food is well worth it, like the saying goes “you get what you pay for” and cocos is definitely the best quality food around Preston. A must try is the New Orleans prawns and the Cajun blackened chicken with half rice and half chips. My mouths watering 🤤

I must have been coming here for over 10 years. Every meal I've ever had has been absolutely fantastic. Some of the tastiest meals I've ever eaten have been from here. Special shout outs to the mexicocos part of the menu, though the mango chicken salad is also incredible, not to mention the burgers. They are also very accommodating if you want any dishes changing to vegan from vegy etc.

Tasty food! And great varieties.

Super delicious food! Friendly service and portions are large enough. We had hummus (which is already gone in the photo), Vegetarian spring rolls, classic burger and wrap with chicken and mango.

Whenever I’m in preston i visit. Best curried goat, real goat no mutton… very wide choice of awesome foods.

Amazing food, service is alright. Could improve on that but otherwise excellent

Fantastic food. Quick and extremely moreish!

Im on a long drive across the country and needed some food to fuel me up. Jamaican curry goat, served with delicious rice and a soft roti, and some fried plantains on the side hit the spot something fierce. And all that plus a drink for about £21. The curry goat was deep with flavour tender chunks of meat and great sauce, the plantains were great and you get lots in the portion. Good food, good vibes, good price - 100% would recommend

Delicious food, lovely atmosphere and customer service. Highly recommend and it is the best place to eat locally!

Food Came cold and late, yet mgr had a go at me that it was my fault, he says it was takeaway, we was sat in front of him for 1 hours.... ridiculous...it's gone bad since new owners ...avoid...

Great food, Everything I have tried from the menu so far has been excellent.

Tried for first time all the way from bradford, and cannot say we were disappointed. The food was amazing we tried the loaded nachos and jerk chicken burrito 🌯 the service was great attentive with a friendly family oriented atmosphere. Will definitely return in the future when in the vicinity.

Great food available at Cocos. I recommend the burritos which are exceptional and the cocos special sauce with sweet potato fries. The restaurant is located in the town centre and there is pay and display car park close by. And check out the Bob Marley painting on the 1st floor.

Friendly staff and best food ever.

Food was nice but was a bit soggy the Angus beef burger and my bun broke done. Would definitely recommend

Best food in my life. Ordered quesadilla and it was absolutely beautiful. Really would recommend this place. It was perfect absolutely perfect. WOULD RECOMMEND

Edit : went back today and had the most delicious mango chilli chicken dish !! Thank you 😋 I'm not sure what everyone raves about or maybe I'm ordering the wrong thing..? i had a king prawn dish £14 was ok.. very salty !

Beautiful Soul Food, Halal, nostalgic songs… what more can a 90’s born person ask for? Definitely worth it! Next… Curried Goat here I come!

The food was excellent and was served very quickly. I would highly recommend this place to anyone who enjoys a good meal at a fair price

Pretty good food in Preston! My wrap was a little soggy and I sat inside to eat. I would not recommend ordering a wrap for takeout, but it was delicious nonetheless. I also had the parmesan truffle fries and these were really good too, but they had a little bit too much aioli for my personal taste.

Absolutely incredible food. The best Peri chick I've ever eaten. Superb stuff

Can't believe I haven't done a review on this place before! Never fails to satisfy me. I've even brought my family and friends here to show them how great it is. Thank you Coco's

Coco's has to be one of the best places to eat in Preston. The food is a delectable mix of Caribbean flavours, Central and South American dishes and South African spices, guaranteed to get your tastebuds doing somersaults in your mouth. With extremely generous portions on offer, be warned not to come here for a just a ‘small bite’ or feeling half full.…you need to be HUNGRY and on an empty stomach!!! The Brazilian ribs are amazingly tender and juicy and the Herb Crusted Chicken with Cheese Sauce with Red Skin Chips and mango salad is a must try. The burritos are some of the fattest I've seen, enough for two. All menu items are halal.

Grotty little place. First impression was going to the loo which was filled with cigarette smoke, the window stuffed with blue roll, and nowhere to dry your hands. Vile. The food was mediocre and overpriced. "Mum's butter chicken" was like someone put some spices in a jar of white lasagne sauce. It was edible but I'm sure nobody's mum would cook that at home.

Food is 11/10 i’ve had alot of things from Coco’s and everything i’ve had was so nice , the staff are friendly and the food is FRESH 😍😍

Nice place for food, service was nice and place was packed.

Food is always tasty. Busy place, but the customer service from the staff is brilliant, nothing is too much trouble.

Always delicious 😋 Bbq beef short rib special is the one!!

Guilty if going to Coco's every week. I higly recommend it the food is amazing , I usually have the same food but whenever I try new things i am not disappointed !

Very busy, be prepared! Didn't serve alcohol. Card payments are accepted. The food is not fancy but it is delicious and big portions, no wonder it's busy, well worth a visit!

Good food in Preston, good seating and good service

Amazing food and at reasonable prices.

Fantastic Food. Would recommend to anybody

Always a pleasure. We have literally never had a bad meal here in the 6 years we've been coming here. Staff are always friendly, food is consistently brilliant and comes quickly and the price is super affordable!!! Amazing

Always excellent food, never had a bad meal from here

Will certainly be going more often. I got the spicest wings and jerk thigh. No regrets on the wings, wish my jerk chicken was spicier but still delicious. Before 5.30 they didn't open their upstairs, so it was very packed/cramped downstairs. My partner got the Mexican wrap (might have been burrito) and was disappointed by it. But she had some of mine and enjoyed that.

Lovely, cozy place. The food was of exceptional quality and tasted brilliant. Staff were friendly, the food took very little time to arrive and great little atmosphere.

Amazing food, fantastic prices and I’d recommend to anyone. I always go for the nachos and then either the curry goat or butter chicken. Insanely good!

Simply the best food in Preston, I go every time I'm there. The Jerk chicken is wonderful, as is the goat curry, and the Specials are... special. Nice people , great food at a decent price, what's not to like?

Excellent mixed grill bursting with flavour. Mac n cheese was true soul food.

Do not even hesitate. Go and enjoy some proper food for the soul. Three of us dined there with a mixed selection of starters and mains. I can honestly say each and every dish tasted supreme. It's a no nonsense eatery that focuses on the food. It does what it says on the tin. Will absolutely be back

Oh my gosh, so so good, service amazing, food incredible, desert oh yesssssss. The best Mexican restaurant in New Zealand by far.

Delicious!! I find it hard not to get the jerk chicken every time

I visited today for the second time.. I was very impressed with the food and thought that the flavouring for all items was exceptional and very authentic. The only reason I have left a 4-star review and not 5 is because I (unfortunately) found a hair in the rice with the jerk chicken portion, which meant I couldn’t finish it. I know most people would just slate a place as a result but I have to be honest, the food was perfect aside from this one oversight - I have worked in catering myself and know mistakes can happen and this review is purely to give the owner some genuine and constructive feedback. I hope they can perhaps reflect on this minor lapse - nonetheless, I definitely do intend to revisit.

i have no idea how they do it all from one tiny kitchen but the food is always 10/10 the opening times are confusing as they seem to open and close whenever depending on the day but if you are lucky enough to go then do go!

Been to Cocos a few times and let me tell you the food here is spectacular, I had the chimichangas and they are the tastiest things ever definitely would recommend this place to anyone.

Excellent food and lots on menu to choose from. Can recommend the chicken Caribbean curry

Today was my second time coming and I love the place even more than I did the first time! The staff are so lovely and the place is decorated very nicely. As for the food, they have a wide selection of meals to choose from on their menu so there’ll be something new to try each time I come back. I honestly love their food, it’s delicious and in my opinion, its serving size is pretty big for its price. Overall, I’d 100% recommend it to anyone and I will absolutely be coming back in the future! Thank you to the staff for the hard work they put in.

I always really enjoy going to Coco's. The owner is very pleasant, the staff are lovely and the food has always been a straight 10/10 for me. I have always enjoyed each item tried. This time I had the hummus appetiser and one of the special menu items. South African Boerewors Sausage and chakalaka beans and rice. Very special indeed. I hope this appears on the specials again next time I am there. The strawberry and cajun chicken salad is also a big hit. Thank you!

The food here is great, can't fault! Reasonably priced. If you like something different there are a few menu items that you won't find many other places. Maybe not a 'date night' venue (maybe for some), but definitely a great place to meet up with friends!

Yesterday my friend and I visited this eating place. I ordered hummus snd pitta bread. My friend had curried goat which he said was delicious. My hummus was covered in oil and pepper I think. The pitta bread had something smeared on it. It was only by chance a waitress came to see if we were ok. By this time I had scraped of the oil and asked for plain pitta bread. My plate re came back with pitta bread and the oil I had scraped off on my plate. I ate some of the food minus the oil. The hummus was nice but in all other aspects I will not be recommending this place. You get what you pay for I suppose. Cheap

Excellent service great tasting food with authentic flavours highly recommended would definitely go again.

Yummy and spicy wings… loved it! Must try their Jerk Chicken…

People that say this place is good haven’t left Preston, only nice thing is butter chicken

Excellent goat curry and fried plantains!

The most delicious food! Definitely worth a try and will always be back for more

As a vegetarian, there were plenty of options to choose from. The food was delivered to our table within 10 minutes and was warm and delicious. Additionally, the wrap I ordered was full to the brim, which is a nice change given many restaurants leave wraps, enchiladas and so on half empty. The atmosphere was relaxing and staff welcoming. The only criticism I have of Coco’s is that I was disappointed to see that a lot of kitchen staff were not wearing hair nets, especially as one of the cooks had a large beard. If this was resolved, I would give 5* easily.

Absolutely love this place. Always come here for lunch when I'm in town . Great choice of food with some good vegetarian/vegan options

Amazing place, first time visiting definitely wont be the last!

Fantastic authentic soul food,served hot,could not fault it

Good food Fast service Friendly staff Would go again

Fantastic flavour and speedy service for a take away

Fab food, great service, even though we ended up on the middle floor, due to all tables full downstairs. Went for staff lunch with work colleagues, recommended and wanted to try, so glad we did. Definitely worth it and a decent selection to choose from. Will come back soon.

This place has to be one of the most consistent places I have been to in my life! Every time I go the food is always outstanding and everything on the menu is wonderful. My personal favourite is the Philly steak ,the way the cheese melts in your mouth is so satisfying . The interior is brilliant as-well it mixes with three themes: Caribbean, Mexican and a Bob Marley theme. The best part is that it’s Halal. Highly recommended

Best food place ever the nachos are outstanding!!

This is the best place to have food in all of Preston. Been coming here for years and not once was I disappointed. Friendly staff, great food and even greater prices. Can you ask for more?

Just visited my son at uni and we came here to eat on his recommendation, best food ever, thanks for a great meal.

One of the best places to eat in Preston, all items on the menu are lovely. They are Halal aswell. I tend to order their burgers when I go.

A literal WOW! Can’t believe how good the food is here, I got the BBQ chicken thighs and the sauce is like nothing I’ve ever tried before So fresh and the value for money is amazing! Can’t stop thinking about it & can’t wait to be back!

I don’t think it’s worth the hype, but it is still good food

That be my second visit in Coco’s soul food. Amazing food, excellent service, and busy like always

Food was sooooo good. Huge serving sizes at a great price! I had the jambalaya and it was incredible. I couldn't finish it all and it only cost a tenner.

Popped in for lunch. Gorgeous good, great selection. Will be returning.

Always a reliable favorite for the lads and I

Great street food at affordable prices . Very tasty. Generous portions.

Best place in Preston hands down

10/10 on everything, would highly recommend to anyone!

Wow, we loved the carribean food, the service was very friendly and very good prices.. 👍

Fantastic place. Great food and quick and friendly service. Got to be in my top 3 places to eat in Preston without question.

Amazing food, very good service, food came super fast, paid £26 for three people to eat, amazing quality will 100% be coming back

Super friendly staff, very tasty breakfast

It’s a no-go for Coco as this place has sadly lost its soul. I hadn’t been to this place in a long time but I remember it being so much better. The katsu certainly looked the part but sadly the taste was similar to an M&S ready meal. I’ll be sticking to Fresh N Fast and Jaffa from now on!

Brilliant as always. Definitely mine and the missis favourite place for food in preston

Fantastic Carribbean! The food is so delicious and cooked perfectly. Very good value for money, you will always leave happy with a bellyfull

You WILL keep going back. The place is small but they do have dining in options downstairs and upstairs too. A lot of people do come in to take away too so don’t be too concerned about the queue. Honestly! Amazing food here, worth every penny. Great customer service, great food & great atmosphere. A must visit if you are new to the city and even if you’re not 😊 Please click the thumbs up if you found this review helpful.

So good it makes you do this face...

Love this place..... Most of all the staff are just so nice.

This is my favourite restaurant in the whole of the UK, I could not recommend them enough! I have traveled over 200miles just to eat here before, I love Caribbean and Mexican food and the combination that Coco’s do are ace!! If you are around Preston and you want a recommendation for food? go here! 11/5 stars! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Amazing quality and quantity! Speedy service too. Best food in Preston.
