Great non-meat and chicken option! Love the bowl and spring rolls and a big hit with our customers who wanted a no-meat Friday (Lent) meal. Very fresh and so generous with the veggies

I can't say enough great things about Coco's trucks. They were amazing and made my wedding for the guests. I'm still hearing about how great the food and staff was. Thank you guys so much for just making our wedding better.

Unfortunately, I was such a nervous wreck the day of my wedding I could not fathom eating a thing! However, I received so many compliments about how delicious the food was, what generous portions they gave and how nice the guys were. I would absolutely recommend Coco's to anyone who is looking to hire a truck...I will also keep track of where they may be near me next so that I can actually try the food!

They used a lot of pepper in the rice today. More so than normal. I have been eating their food since they were in the store in Nolensville.

Hello, I missed my pickup because I got held up at work. That’s my fault. Would it be ok to get my order next time Magic Hibachi are at the PCT buildings? I’d be fine with that if they are.

Food is delicious. However my order was messed up tonight :(. Asked for extra chicken but they dumped shrimp all over the rice instead. Couldn’t eat it

First time buying. The rice & vegetables were perfect! And the yum yum sauce added just the right "kick". The egg rolls were a bit skimpy on filling, but taste was fine.
