KOKO
KOKO opened in Miami's Coconut Grove neighborhood as the newest concept from Grupo Bakan, a restaurant group that's operated in the Grove for nearly two decades alongside its other concepts, including Bakan in Wynwood and Talavera Cocina Mexicana in Coral Gables. The roughly 6,000-square-foot indoor-and-outdoor space seats around 170 guests and includes an open-view kitchen where diners can watch handmade tortillas being pressed to order, along with a cacti garden and an outdoor bar and terrace built into the neighborhood's natural tree canopy. KOKO's back bar reportedly displays more than 400 different mezcals and tequilas, reflecting the restaurant's emphasis on Mexican spirits alongside its casual-dining Mexican menu, positioning it as both a restaurant and a dedicated agave-spirits destination. KOKO's combination of Grupo Bakan's established Coconut Grove restaurant pedigree and its extensive 400-plus-bottle mezcal and tequila collection has made it one of the more distinctive restaurants named Koko in the country.

Koko's Restaurant & Tequila Bar
Koko's Restaurant & Tequila Bar was founded by partners Gibran Moreno Ventura and Alexi Torres, who opened the original Koko's Lounge on Fourth Avenue East in Olympia, Washington in 2020, building the menu around a fusion of Moreno's Mexican and Torres's Salvadoran culinary backgrounds. The restaurant is explicitly LGBTQ-owned, and its menu blends modern Latin American, Mexican, and Salvadoran dishes, including burritos, tostadas, steak tacos, poblano-cashew enchiladas, and fried plantains, alongside a cocktail program built around mojitos and a wide range of margaritas. Koko's expanded beyond its original Olympia location into the Pacific City and Seabrook vacation-town area and Seattle's Capitol Hill neighborhood, and during the COVID-19 pandemic the restaurant pledged to donate thousands of burritos to local food-assistance programs in partnership with the Seabrook Community Foundation. Koko's Restaurant & Tequila Bar's combination of its LGBTQ ownership and its distinctive Mexican-Salvadoran fusion menu has made it one of the most community-connected restaurants named Koko in the country.
