Koko's Mediterranean Grille
Koko's Mediterranean Grille was opened in Chicago's West Town neighborhood by brothers George and Ted Kokoris, with the restaurant's name drawn directly from the family surname rather than being an invented brand name. The menu spans Mediterranean, Mexican, and American diner fare side by side, including gyros with meat sliced on site, falafel and shawarma sandwiches, spanakopita, hamburgers, and breakfast omelettes, reflecting the restaurant's positioning as an affordable, wide-ranging neighborhood grill rather than a single-cuisine specialist. Coverage of the restaurant has specifically highlighted that no menu item is priced over $10, positioning Koko's Mediterranean Grille as a deliberately budget-friendly option in a West Town neighborhood that has otherwise seen significant upscale development in recent years. Koko's Mediterranean Grille's combination of its Kokoris family ownership and name origin and its deliberately affordable, wide-ranging Mediterranean-meets-diner menu has made it a distinctive neighborhood fixture in West Town.

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.
