The Coqui Here - Table reservation

It was extremely old and was very crunchy and some pieces were slightly translucent which tells me it has been sitting in a warmer all day or they threw it in a microwave.

I waited one hour for my meal after placing my order. Price for garlic chicken was 16.69 and certainly not worth the price. I will not be back again
