Milpa Tacos y Tortillas 207 Brevard Ave, Cocoa Mexican • $$

“From the moment we stepped through the door, Milpa Tacos y Tortillas made us feel like we were part of a warm, vibrant family celebrating Día de los Muertos. The ambience was a beautiful tapestry of color, culture, and togetherness that set the tone for a memorable night. The menu felt like a love letter to Mexican street cuisine, with bright, layered flavors that honored tradition while offering its own playful twists. Each bite showed care: crisp textures, balanced spice, and ingredients that sang with freshness. The Cantaritos were highlight-worthy: refreshingly citrusy, perfectly balanced, and generously poured. Served in rustic, traditional vessels, they added a tactile, festive feel to the experience. If you’re looking for a place with authentic flavors, meaningful ambiance, and a welcoming vibe, Milpa Tacos y Tortillas should be at the top of your list. We left with full hearts and even fuller plates, already planning our next visit.”

Mitchell's Restaurant 1400 N Cocoa Blvd, Cocoa Breakfast • $

“Stopped for brunch this morning first time there. It’s a typical diner. Was disappointed that a business that says Mitchell’s Mimosas had no champagne to make mimosas. It’s not far from a few places that they could’ve picked up a few bottles of sparkling wine if running low. It is Father’s Day after all. Best part of entire experience was the very friendly, efficient waitress Trinity. She was attentive, suggested a few things on the menu, ensured beverages were filled. Food was good- typical diner. Is it a place I would go out of my way for? Probably not. But if I do, I would want Trinity as my server.”

“LOVE Oasis. We eat there twice a week. Food is always fresh, and I haven't had anything I didn't like. They have an amazing variety of bottled drinks and sodas . Clean, small hidden gem.

Vegetarian options: I'm not a meat eater and there are so many salad options. I get the four side salad platter and never leave hungry.

Dietary restrictions: Owner cuts cucumber for me to dip the hummus because I don't eat white grains. Always tells me what's in the salads so I don't accidentally eat something I can't have. Today ordered a side salad not realizing Couscous was in it. He immediately said, "you can't have that, it has white grain in it". Love how they care for their customers.”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This coffee shop has all the ingredients for a perfect recipe. First, the atmosphere is comfortable and inviting … with local artists highlighted. Their bathroom has a baby changing table, their back room has a child’s table and basket of books … they have a “free mug exchange” program … and a rewards program (free drinks!). Did I mention how clean the shop is?!?! Next, every single person who works there (inclusive of course of the owner) are always personable, welcoming, helpful and knowledgeable - whether to assist a customer to figure out “that perfect drink match” or to tweak a drink or simply to help make the day happier … they are always on point. Every. Single. Person. Finally, they make many of their syrups homemade (yum!!!) … they make their own popsicles … they sell locally owned bakery items (inclusive of gluten free) … their options are incredibly delicious across the board. I first came here during COVID on the way home from the hospital having my first child. Now, more than 4 years later, I am a 5-6 day a week customer … their lattes and bagels are the best! Special shout out to Hannah who literally notices and asks when I have missed being there a day or more … and who always remembers and uses my name. But honestly, I adore every single barista there … they remember my favorite drink no matter the season … they care … they laugh and have fun … they create this amazing little shop. I have never gone anywhere else that comes close. Check them out and spend some money … tip well … they deserve it and you deserve what they offer!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

Their boba tea selection is incredible! The flavors are bursting with freshness, and the tapioca pearls have that perfect chewy texture. Whether you're a classic milk tea fan or looking for something adventurous, Chippies has something for everyone. I personally loved the Golden Elixir, it was so refreshing and perfectly balanced. The frozen yogurt is just as amazing! The tartness hits all the right notes, and the toppings selection is fantastic. They do not weigh the frozen yogurt! Plus, they have sugar-free options, which is a major win for me! The staff at Chippies is top-notch! Super friendly and helpful, they made my whole experience enjoyable. They were happy to answer questions and offer suggestions based on my preferences. Chippies is a true gem in Cocoa/PSJ! The perfect place to cool down on a hot Florida day or just treat yourself to something delicious. Highly recommend checking it out! Five stars all around!”

The music selection is always fire, a great mix that keeps the crowd moving but still lets you relax and vibe with your hookah.

Speaking of hookah, the flavors are top-tier, smooth, and always fresh. The staff is super friendly and attentive, making sure your coals stay hot and your experience is 10/10.

“I ordered “carrot cake” cupcakes from Candy’s Cookies, Cakes & More (Canaveral Groves)this week for my husband’s birthday, and we picked them up today. They were made fresh this morning, and oh my goodness, if you’re having any doubts about placing an order, please, make the order. Her carrot cake was the best I’ve ever tasted. Every bit of it was made from scratch - the cake was moist and delicious and the frosting was fantastic. I’ve already placed another order for a German Chocolate cake and a Lemon Blueberry pound cake, and I’m anxious to taste them. With regard to Candy, the awesome baker - she’s kind, genuine, and has “customer service” running through her veins. I’ve never had a baker offer to meet me at a convenient place for product pickup, much less offer to deliver. She did both, and we agreed on a place to meet. I felt like I met a friend today. I wish her and her business all the best success.”

“Rec 225- Cocoa, FL- 3.75 Stars "I lurched away from the table after a few hours feeling like Elvis in Vegas - fat, drugged, and completely out of it." ― Anthony Bourdain Getting back into the swing of things post--Covid has been great for the Big Boy and I hope for you as well. Thank you for all the comments, supportive and not so supportive. As you can see, I take each one to heart and answer straightforward. I do not cut corners in my reviews, nor do I apologize for them. Finding myself meandering up the Space Coast, I grabbed my random eatery generator and punched in my location. A few nearby eateries popped up and I found myself near the local star, Cryderman's Barbecue. Curious as to who could hang in the same neighborhood, I ventured into Rec 225. The first impression was one of spic and span clean, like your kitchen when you know guests are coming over. Grabbing a table, our waiter Jo-Jo came over to see how we were doing. It turns out that Jo-Jo is also the owner and not only cares about the customer but obviously takes pride in his business as he was welcoming, friendly, knowledgeable and just downright awesome. Honestly, I can't say enough good things about Jo-Jo. I placed an order for their eponymous sandwich, the 225, along with one Mac & Cheese grilled cheese and a side order of Bacon and Bleu fries. As for a drink, I went with the vaunted Jarritos Orange (how can you go wrong with this liquid concoction of pure delight?). Waiting eagerly for the foodstuffs to arrive I continued to glance about the place and found the interior charming. Before too long, Jo-Jo came back with my order, placed it upon my table and offering a sincere, "Enjoy your meal," Jo-Jo went off to address other patrons. Looking at the pictures you can see that everything certainly did look scrumptious! Grabbing the self-named sandwich, The Big Boy went to work. Comprised of bacon, Gouda, french fries, and tomato pesto on garlic Texas toast it was a delicious mouthful of exquisite flavor. The combination of the bacon and Gouda was enough to send one's taste buds into a dance of joy, add to that the fresh tomato pesto and the perfectly golden fries and you are entering the taste bud danger zone! Seriously, I thought mine were going to sashay right out of my mouth they were so pleased with the flavors found in this masterpiece of a sandwich. It almost felt like a crime when I set it down and turned my attention to the Mac & Cheese grilled sandwich, but a man's gotta do what a man's gotta do. This was far from the simple grilled cheese we all ate as a kid. This incorporated classic mac&cheese with Gouda served on Texas toast. Grilled in butter to a perfect golden hue, it was thoroughly enjoyable on the palate. What I can say about the fries? They were cooked just right and smothered in bleu cheese and bacon. How could you go wrong? The Big Boy says, "If your not nearby, make an excuse to be nearby and grab some incredible grub!" #iamthebigboy #bigboydiningout”

“We stopped in on our trip to Cocoa Beach and were not disappointed. Coming from Wisconsin, we’ve had tons of great beer. Dirty Oar has some of the best beers we’ve ever had! The bartender was so friendly when we stopped in. As a military/law enforcement family, we loved the atmosphere and show of support.”

“I slid thru on a Tues afternoon just before he was about to close down. I appreciate bro being flexible…I had to run up to the store to get some bacon bc he had ran out and I “Got” to have bacon on my double burger n bacon order along with seasoned fries and a few of those Honey Lemon Pepper wings.The burger was like one of those burgers u make at the house, was good. And the wings were sauced up and had good flavor. The wings were pretty small tho…they’re almost like mini wings.Overall Nephew had my burger done and ready to go after he finished with the bacon dope spot to checkout.”

Kay's Real Pit Bar-B-Q 1552 W King St, Cocoa Barbecue • $

“The only problem I have with the food is the barbeque sauce itself. It's not bad, but it's very average and a little too heavy on the vinegar. The food meanwhile is cooked very well. Smoked. Dusting of rub. Good moisture. And the feast for four can feed a family for at least a couple days.

I just wish the barbeque sauce was better. Would make the prices worth it.

Dietary restrictions: Pork, Beef, and Poultry options are all on the menu for those who abstain from specific meats, like pork.”

China Garden 4795 Fay Boulevard unit8, Cocoa Chinese • $

“Solid Chinese food.
Got the Mongolian beef and chicken lo mane n crab ragoon.
Overall food was on the sweeter side but I didn't ask for any added spice.
Meat was all tender.
Rice was good.
The crab ragoon needs to be crispier, ours were tough, or use less dough and maybe like half as much filling.
Lo mein was good.”

Café Margaux 220 Brevard Ave, Cocoa French • $$$

“I bought 4 friends for lunch on Saturday as this has been my favorite restaurant in Brevard County since the 70's. Even had my daughter's pre-wedding luncheon there. These 4 ladies had never been to the Cafe. Their meals were fabulous. The waitresses were amazing. We had a different waitress who took our coffee order. I did not get her name. She was blonde and short. She began to get rude and continued until we left. So what would have been a lovely experience, ended. They will never go back.”

“I ordered “carrot cake” cupcakes from Candy’s Cookies, Cakes & More (Canaveral Groves)this week for my husband’s birthday, and we picked them up today. They were made fresh this morning, and oh my goodness, if you’re having any doubts about placing an order, please, make the order. Her carrot cake was the best I’ve ever tasted. Every bit of it was made from scratch - the cake was moist and delicious and the frosting was fantastic. I’ve already placed another order for a German Chocolate cake and a Lemon Blueberry pound cake, and I’m anxious to taste them. With regard to Candy, the awesome baker - she’s kind, genuine, and has “customer service” running through her veins. I’ve never had a baker offer to meet me at a convenient place for product pickup, much less offer to deliver. She did both, and we agreed on a place to meet. I felt like I met a friend today. I wish her and her business all the best success.”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This coffee shop has all the ingredients for a perfect recipe. First, the atmosphere is comfortable and inviting … with local artists highlighted. Their bathroom has a baby changing table, their back room has a child’s table and basket of books … they have a “free mug exchange” program … and a rewards program (free drinks!). Did I mention how clean the shop is?!?! Next, every single person who works there (inclusive of course of the owner) are always personable, welcoming, helpful and knowledgeable - whether to assist a customer to figure out “that perfect drink match” or to tweak a drink or simply to help make the day happier … they are always on point. Every. Single. Person. Finally, they make many of their syrups homemade (yum!!!) … they make their own popsicles … they sell locally owned bakery items (inclusive of gluten free) … their options are incredibly delicious across the board. I first came here during COVID on the way home from the hospital having my first child. Now, more than 4 years later, I am a 5-6 day a week customer … their lattes and bagels are the best! Special shout out to Hannah who literally notices and asks when I have missed being there a day or more … and who always remembers and uses my name. But honestly, I adore every single barista there … they remember my favorite drink no matter the season … they care … they laugh and have fun … they create this amazing little shop. I have never gone anywhere else that comes close. Check them out and spend some money … tip well … they deserve it and you deserve what they offer!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
