Coquitoville™ is something we created straight from the heart—a curated list of places and people we love. These are the ones who make coquito with passion, or who serve up comforting Puerto Rican and Dominican dishes that remind us of home, whether from the island or the mainland where we grew up.
If you live in a city, town, state, or even another country where these kinds of spots are easy to find—consider yourself blessed!
Why We Started Coquitoville™
The truth is, not everyone has access to the foods, drinks, and cultural events that connect us to our roots. Sometimes, they’re hard to find—or even harder to discover because they’re not being promoted or talked about enough.
That’s where Coquitoville™ comes in.
We’re just getting started, so our list will be short at first. It’ll feature the places we’ve personally visited, eaten at, and enjoyed coquito from—spots that continue to hold a special place in our hearts today.
Growing Together
Our goal is to see this list grow bigger than we could ever imagine, with your help. We want our audience—our community—to share their favorite places too. Whether it’s a hidden food truck, a small bakery, or a family restaurant that deserves love, we want to hear about it.
In time, Coquitoville will become the go-to guide for Puerto Rican and Dominican food—and of course, coquito—no matter where you live.
No Gatekeeping, Just Love
Let’s make one thing clear: no gatekeeping allowed.
We’re not affiliated with any of these businesses, and we’re not trying to make money from them. If we love it, we post it—simple as that. We just want to spotlight the amazing people keeping our traditions alive through flavor, passion, and community.
The best way to find these places isn’t through ads or algorithms—it’s through word of mouth, from real people in the culture who share that same love and pride.
Share Your Experience
Of course, not every place will hit the same for everyone—and that’s okay! Maybe you’ll find a spot you love even more, or a new take on a classic dish. That’s the beauty of it: we share, we learn, and we grow together.
Celebrating Our Traditions
At the end of the day, we’re family, and we have a flavor the world deserves to experience. If we don’t shine a spotlight on these amazing places, someone from another culture might claim them as their own—and we can’t let that happen.
It’s important to celebrate and preserve our traditions, and that’s exactly what Coquitoville is here to do.
Because when we celebrate our culture, we keep it alive. 🥥✨
