Best Day-to-Night Latin Fusion

Coquito

Behind Coquito’s little neon sign is a lot of energy. Decked out with relic-inspired decor and a chic Kelly green accent color, this festive day-to-night haunt on East Seventh shares a name with Puerto Rico’s traditional Christmas drink. During the day, signature tortas and their Loquito, a cold brew made with coquito, bring Latin American flavors together. At night, the Spanish-speaking fusion becomes a musical one, as DJs pack the patio and dance floor inside the cafe-gone-bar with house favorites and Latin party beats à la the spot’s co-owner, Sussie Ramirez aka DJ Suxxy Puxxy.
