  When I lived by campus during undergrad, this place was the jam. Staff is super friendly and it's a nice place to dine inside or get some quick takeout.
  
  I actually prefer this place over Taco Luchador. Why? Because this place has more options on the menu. Tortas and burritos and dinner plates, oh my. Also, there's plenty of parking. Guacamole is 5-star alone.
  
  Like, I got sooo much takeout here. I think they also know how to turn up for a good time late on the weekends (I'm not totally sure, I never investigated).
  
  Check it out!

  Fish tacos and I get along really well, so when I saw the menu and pictures online for Coconut Beach, I bookmarked. It sat in my bookmarks for quite some time, until I happened to be in the area for lunch one day, and was able to cross this one off.
  
  It's in the U of L area and directly across the street from the stadium. Inside, it's quite large and is very sports bar-ish. The have both booths and tables. There's quite a bit of free space, and I saw that they have an area for private parties and salsa/DJ nights.
  
  I was greeted and seated immediately. Since I knew what I wanted, I didn't need much time with the menu. The fish tacos were calling my name. My order took a bit to come out, but not so long that I was put out. Along with the tacos, I ordered some elotes callejeros. The fish tacos and the elotes were both delicous. I would definitely order them both again. However, I wouldn't be mad if the battered piece of fish was a bit larger. Since I was starving and going all out, I decided to finish with some flan. The flan was excellent and stole the show for me. It was served with ice cream and topped with caramel and chocolate sauces, which just made it even better.
  
  The service was friendly and efficient. The prices were about right. The location is easy and convenient, especially for students and/or anyone coming or going to/from the stadium. I would definitely come back here again, and I would probably order the exact same thing.

  I love this place! It's a great hidden gem by UofL's campus that offers delicious Mexican cuisine. I got the tacos and they're to die for! Pictured is the chorizo, pollo, and Baja fish tacos-- soo yummy! Additionally, they're margaritas are on point. They're super refreshing and flavorful-- like all of their options-- and was a very pleasant experience. The great company I was with and the very helpful, friendly staff member made the experience a great one. I absolutely recommend!

  Great stop for lunch.  Great choices of meats for tacos.  Barbacoa was delicious.  Will be back with the family.  Fast and yummy!  Great Cuban menu as well!  Guacamole was fresh and great tasting.  Warm chips and cold beer gotta love that.  Thief's my first time here but won't be my last that is for sure.  Only negative was that there is no Wi-Fi so I had to hurry since I work at lunch.  Super friendly and fun staff.

  Coconuts has great food & great drinks, all at a reasonable price. I'll be honest though, I generally only eat tacos late at night, after it's become a club. Saturdays are the best day to go. It usually starts picking up around 12 pm or 1 am. DJ Frank is the house DJ and he plays a great selection of music -- salsa, merengue, reggaeton, trap, bachata, etc. It's always a good time and there's plenty of dancing and fun. It's also nice to have the option to get tacos if you get hungry.
