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.

Even with a multitude of large party events going on during our diner experience, the service was smooth and efficient, and food outstanding as always. Noise levels were very high though from all the activity. Overall a good evening.

Showed up about 30min before my reservation. It was a Friday and Valet was mandatory. Fine. But it took about 10min between entering the property to getting out of the car due to valet being backed up. Went inside and checked in. Waited about 15 min before being sat down on a table with a south window view, which I had requested. Ordered my kids their food and they loved it. Daughter got chicken tenders with fries and my son got the breaded steak with rice and beans. My girl and I shared a main course. The Parrilla de Argentina to be exact. We did, however, also get an appetizer. I got the potato balls and she got the chicharron con yuca. We were told by our waitress that both taste great and are favorite dishes in the restaurant. Cool! We got our appetizer rather quickly and the potato balls were basic. I'd say that portos has better potato balls at more than half the price. The chicarron con yuca was definitely not good at all. Foreshadowing our main course experience. About 20 min after ordering, we got our food. Saying it was a disappointment is an understatement. The "prime new york" steak was so bland and lacked ANY seasoning. I was considering eating the table cloth. The chorizo was unlike any other chorizo I've had. Flavorless with some spice. I didn't even bother trying the chicken and short ribs. My taste buds could not bear another bite of anything served there. And why should they? They did no wrong to be punished to that extent. As for the service, the waitress "checked up" on us twice within the hour and change that we were there. Oh yea. My girl asked the waitress which wine is sweeter and she said "I think the red one." Really? She should of said, something along the lines of "that's a really good question. Let me find out for you" and gone and asked a more knowledgeable person. we returned the wine after 1 sip. So in the end Chicken tender and fries ✅️ Breaded flap meat with rice ✅️ Water ✅️ Red wine 👎 Parrilla de Argentina 👎🤮

I went to Coco Palms for a little get together with five of my close friends. We hadn’t been there in a while, and had pleasant memories from our last visit there. We all met at the restaurant and were surprised with an $8.00 valet charge, for each of us since we all met at the restaurants. It’s not even optional to valet park. The only option is valet park! Other than that, the food and service inside was good.

Great ambience and great quality of food, but high amount of service charge plus high amount of tip on the bill for a buffet venue.
