Review by Jaquan Ullrich

Koki - Creative Puerto Rican Kitchen is a gem in downtown Durham! 🌟 I brought my wife, and we absolutely loved the vibe - bright colors, great music, and a welcoming atmosphere.

I had the carne frita with mofongo, and it was fantastic! My wife got the Cuban sandwich with homemade sweet potato tater tots, which were divine.

The portions are huge, making it great value, and I highly recommend the beef empanadas and Queso Frito! Just a heads-up, the staff seemed new, but the experience overall was delightful. A must-try for authentic Puerto Rican cuisine! 🍽️✨
