4 /5 Kareem Pinkston: The Cococabana is located on top of The Brick Hotel in downtown Oceanside.
It is a great addition to the O’side Drink Scene and allows for its patrons to partake in some nice bites with decadent drinks, all while enjoying a sweeping view of Downtown O; typically with a breathtaking sunset.
I like coming here for their Taco Tuesdays.
They’ve got a nice menu selection that is filled with jerk chicken, jerk octopus and a cauliflower taco that are all memorable.
The tacos range from $3 to $6 and while they are “street taco” size, the flavor array is truly pronounced and stand out amongst any other “typical” taco.
They also have drink specials, with margaritas and other cocktails for $7.
Typically, throughout the week this is a nice place to go for that intimate date if you sit in the back.
, north corner. But normally, if there’s a crowd, it tends to get noisy up front where it faces the streets, South side.
Their other menu will be considered “pricey” to most locals and although their cocktails are great, they fall into that category as well; even though they aren’t as expensive as other rooftop locations.
So, overall, this is a great place to go celebrate an occasion or maybe go on a date, but maybe not as your “run of the mill” watering hole.
I still recommend experiencing them at least once when in Downtown Oceanside.
