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.
VS
Koko Wings
Koko Wings operates on Manhattan's Upper West Side, at 248 W 106th Street, specializing in Korean-style fried chicken wings that are double-fried and hand-battered, a technique aimed at keeping the chicken crispy and juicy while staying comparatively light on oil. The restaurant's signature preparations include a half-and-half order splitting wings between soy garlic and spicy sauce, letting diners sample both of the restaurant's core flavor profiles in a single order rather than committing to just one. Beyond its wings, Koko Wings serves a broader menu of Korean bar-food staples, including seasoned and sweet potato fries, rice cakes, a bulgogi bowl with egg, and truffle fries, positioning the restaurant as a fuller Korean comfort-food destination rather than a wings-only specialist. Koko Wings's combination of its double-fried, hand-battered Korean fried chicken technique and its broader Korean bar-food menu has made it a well-reviewed neighborhood destination on Manhattan's Upper West Side.
