Coconut’s Fish Cafe

Big portions fresh food cant get enough of this. Recommend tacos and coconut shrimp.

Was staying right by here and needed somewhere close AND I love fish tacos.
Fish tacos and coconut shrimp was amazing and just right to share.
Eddy was also great! Friendly and answered all our questions, since this was our first time.
Also the speed in which the food hit the table was great. Within minutes of our ordering.

Best fish tacos on the planet. If you’re looking for your standard fried fish tacos, you won’t find them here. Everything is grilled, healthy and light. So much flavor packed into these. Only downside is that it is virtually impossible to eat without making a huge mess. Get lots of napkins before you sit down.

Ordered the fish tacos and ahi poke. The poke was amazing! The fish tacos left some to be desired. It’s so full of cabbage it was hard to eat and get the flavor you wanted and I think I received chicken instead of fish. I ordered rice and it was left out of my order. Not driving back to get a little side of rice though. 3 stars because the the food tasted good and service was great.
Edit: The business owner contacted me and was very concerned about making my experience better! I will have to say that this is very rare and says a great deal about the service you will receive. I have added a star for this above and beyond service.

This is one of our favorite restaurants in the area! Quick and delicious! The staff is super friendly and you’ll leave wanting to go to Hawaii!

My boyfriend and I stopped by for a casual dinner while on vacation and it was a good pick! I liked the décor and how laid back it was. The food was light and fresh and I liked my salad — filled me up for the evening. Their fish dishes are what they’re known for and I believe their tacos are quite loved. Try it if you’re a seafood fan!

Cute little spot. I wouldn’t come here for a lunch date, but with friends it’s great.
Had the fish tacos a+
Nice I door seating, and also some outdoor seating.
Very friendly service.

I had a business lunch here yesterday and I have to say for a counter-​fed (no waiter or waitress) meal it was a very pleasant surprise. I had an Ahi tuna salad that was well-​prepared and very generous. The location is tucked a bit out of the way but certainly if you are located in this section of the Scottsdale corridor I would certainly check it out if you would like a well-​prepared lunch.
The only deficits that I would point out would be the following. First, the tables can be a bit cramped for say, four full-​sized guys to sit at for a meal of this type. Secondly, the parking can be a bit hard to get to since this strip mall seems to get quite a bit of traffic. Neither of these is a deterrant to reccomending this as a great place to grab a nice meal.

Best fish taco I’ve ever had and I’ve sampled a lot. Great combination of flavors and perfectly cooked fish. Great friendly service. This place is a keeper

I’m never sure about trusting fish in Arizona but both meals I’ve had here have been fresh and delicious! The first time I went I (obviously) had to try the fish tacos and they were really good… plus they are huge! Yesterday I went back and tried the grilled fish over brown rice (pictured). I chose the Mahi Mahi and a lemon butter prep, requested sides of salsa and their really yummy mango salsa, and it comes with cole slaw too. Super delicious food, not to mention a healthy and good-​for-​you lunch option. The open patio really does make it feel tropical! Definitely recommend!

Such a cute islands atmosphere. The staff were super friendly. Ordered the chicken Caesar salad…, yum! The wait for the salad was longer than I expected

Pretty decent shrimp and chips. Not too greasy — you get a nice portion of 6 decent sized shrimp battered and fried crispy & served with tartar sauce. The fries are similar to In N Out, which is a good thing. The cole slaw had a weird horseradish vibe that I wasn’t into, but not harsh enough to be inedible. Will definitely head back and try something else — the tacos I saw others order looked pretty good.

This is a riff on a traditional Hawaiian food truck, but as a restaurant with indoor and outdoor seating. They have fish tacos, salads, grilled fish and similar fare. It’s incredibly popular, and for good reason — the fish is good, the atmosphere casual and fun, the staff helpful. I particularly like getting grilled mahi-​mahi over Caesar salad … though the grilled fish platters (with rice and salad) are good too.
This is a place where you go to the counter and order your food, then they bring it out to you — kind of low key, but it grows on you. The wooden tables are shaped like surf boards — Coconuts has character. It’s different than any other restaurant in the area — this isn’t a mall chain, and the food stands out from all the standard American fare in the area — and that keeps me going back. The menu is fairly small, but you can select enough variants to make it interesting (i.e. there are several preparation styles for the grilled fish). On my first visit, I wondered what all the fuss was about, but now that I’ve been in Scottsdale for a while, I find I keep going back — that it’s one of my favorite places to grab a bite.

The family and I went here for lunch today… YAS! It’s everything all the other reviews say and more! My hubby had the 2 fish tacos, which he enjoyed. I had the fish and chips and I left saying it was some of the best I’ve ever had! There’s no mystery, fatty weirdness that some fish and chips may have sometimes. It’s all fresh white flakey Mahi Mahi battered to perfection!!! The homemade tarter sauce is tasty and has dill in it, which mixes really nicely with the lemon you squirt on the fish. Yum… the fries are good, but the coleslaw was super average… but who cares! The fish is the star here :) I’ll be back Coconut’s!

My wife and I tried this on our 2 year anniversary for dinner. We have been wanting to try this for awhile now.
We started off with the coconut battered shrimp appetizer, we checked In with Unilocal for the first time and received 25% off on the item. This dish was great! Crispy, generous portion of coconut batted shrimp. You should definitely get this.
We ordered the ono burger which was good but not great. Lots of bun here. The fish was very good but sorta lost with the enormous bun and cheese and tomato and sauce.
My wife loves fish and chips so we also had to try that. She said, and I agree, that they were good. They were grilled which is different from the battered type. The fries that accompanied were really good. Thin, crisp and also soft in middle. Perfect with ingest or ketchup. Loved them.
This place is from Maui Hi so the atmosphere is vey surf oriented. The tables are made out of what looks like old surf boards. My wife said this place gets high marks for the «sweet Hawaiian vibe’. I agree.
Service as ⁵⁄₅. Food ⁴⁄₅ for me, 3.5÷5 for my wife for a ⁴⁄₅ overall. We will definitely be back for the coconut shrimp and want to try the fish tacos next.

5 stars for the clean and cute décor
5 stars for the friendly service
5 stars for the delicious fish!!!
Taco Mountain= very tasty and filling
Grilled Cajun Mahi «local style”= delicious!!!

I have been here many times. Always a very good experience. Very fresh fish salads sides and the staff is very helpful and friendly. This place definitely gets busy at lunch and they have another location at Scottsdale and Shea. If you are missing Hawaii or in the mood for some excellent fish in the desert as funny as that sounds this is a great convenient spot

I’m not sure why I’ve been avoiding this place, but I’m glad I finally pulled the plug to eat here. I was not disappointed at all. With all of the reviews pointing to the coconut shrimp and the fish tacos that’s exactly what I ordered. The staff was friendly and the food came out very quick after ordering. The coconut shrimp was probably the best I’ve had in a while. The fish tacos were loaded with fish and toppings! Don’t forget the awesome tiger sauce that makes them a little more spicy! I’ll be back for more!

Good food and fantastic service! The employees are very accommodating and patient, and the food is fresh and healthy. The prices are fair, but the portions are a little small. $ 9 for 6 pieces of coconut shrimp is a little ridiculous, but I will say it’s the best coconut shrimp I’ve ever had.
Opt for the ahi tuna salad! The salad portions seem bigger than the rice portions, and they only have brown rice.

A handful of my coworkers are vegan or mainly prefer fish as part of their staple diet. Coconut Fish offers a variety of fish style cooking that can provide them with these options. I ordered their Fish and Chips to share and it was good. My coworkers ordered their fish tacos topped with mango which actually was really good too. Ingredients tasted very fresh, and service was quick after placing your order at the counter.
If you happen to be in the Scottsdale area and are looking for something quick, healthy eats and fish is your main diet, this would be a good option!
Until then, Cheers! ~ :p
