Christmas Eve Lunch at Koko's Restaurant and Tequila Bar

 

They go hard with their holiday decor at Koko's, and we're here for it! Their restaurant looked stunning, decked out for Christmas. 

One of our family's Christmas traditions is to go out for Christmas Eve lunch. This year we chose Koko's Restaurant and Tequila Bar. They're a Latin restaurant, located on Capitol Hill, and they also have a location in Pacific Beach, WA. 

I was happily surprised to see the gorgeous holiday decor upon walking in. They also had Christmas music playing which was perfect since it was Christmas Eve. They had a small holiday menu with a couple of special cocktails. I chose a Gingerbread Espresso Martini, and it was as delicious as it sounds. There was even a Gingerbread Man and whipped cream on top. This drink was strong and very easy to drink. My husband ordered a Frida which had rum and coconut. 

My entree was the Carne Asada Quesadilla. It was packed with juicy and tender meat, lots of mozzarella, roasted corn, bell peppers, and caramelized onions. It was packed with flavor and reminded me of Supreme pizza, in the best way. My husband had Enchiladas, and our sons had a Cheese Quesadilla. We also all started off with some chips, salsa, and guac as an appetizer. The chips were served warm and the guac was fresh and flavorful. 

For dessert we shared an order of the Churros. The presentation was fun since they arrived in a wooden truck! They're served warm with a chocolate sauce for dipping. Our sons loved them, since they're big Churro fans. 

The servers and the hostess were so nice and hospitable. The hostess even offered to take a family photo of us by the giant Christmas tree. This spot gets busy on the weekends and sometimes even have a DJ. Reservations are recommended!
