Coco Shrimp — Fort Worth’s Hawaiian-Style Shrimp Truck Turned Local Legend

Coco Shrimp started as the first and only mobile seafood restaurant in Fort Worth, born from the founders’ love of the laid-back lifestyle of the North Shore of Oahu — where they attended BYU-Hawaii and fell in love with the way food played such an important role in Polynesian culture. That food truck has since grown into a beloved DFW institution with multiple locations, and Coco Shrimp brings the aloha spirit to Fort Worth at two convenient spots: Bryan Ave at 3204 S. Bryan Ave in South Fort Worth, and Heritage Trace in the Alliance corridor. Now 10 restaurants strong, Coco Shrimp has made Yelp’s Top 50 Restaurants in Texas two years in a row, with their tacos earning a spot on Yelp’s Top Taco Spots list nationwide — a remarkable achievement for a concept that keeps things beautifully simple. The vibe is relaxed and unpretentious, the food is fresh and made with care, and every visit feels like a small escape from the Texas heat.

The menu was inspired by the shrimp trucks on the North Shore of Hawaii — shrimp, rice, and salad, but with many ways to customize and make it your own. The signature Coco Shrimp — hand-battered and breaded with sweet coconut flakes, fried golden, and served with a sweet chili dipping sauce over buttered rice and fresh salad — is the undisputed star, and it’s easy to see why it launched a ten-location empire. Other fan favorites include the Butter Garlic (sautéed shrimp tossed in a rich herb butter sauce), the Sweet & Spicy (classic Coco Shrimp drizzled with teriyaki and house-made spicy sauce), and the Spicy Shrimp for those who like real heat. The Double Coco Tacos — Coco Shrimp on a bed of rice with fresh romaine, sweet chili sauce, and house-made cilantro-lime dressing in a flour tortilla — are a certified crowd-pleaser. Add-ons like grilled cinnamon pineapple, crushed macadamia nuts, sliced avocado, and toasted coconut flakes let you build the perfect plate, and three house-made dressings — creamy ginger, poppyseed vinaigrette, and cilantro lime — round out a menu that’s simple, fresh, and deeply satisfying.

Both Fort Worth locations offer online ordering, dine-in, and takeout, with catering available for groups of 12 or more at the same menu pricing. The Keiki Plate ($7) makes Coco Shrimp a genuinely family-friendly option, and the straightforward menu means even the pickiest eaters find something to love. Whether you’re grabbing a quick weekday lunch or introducing out-of-town guests to one of Fort Worth’s most unique dining concepts, Coco Shrimp delivers every single time. Gift cards are available online, and following @cocoshrimp on social media is highly recommended for location-specific specials and seasonal updates.

Fort Worth started off on a high note—this was the very first place I visited, and honestly, it’s still the best spot I’ve been to on my entire trip!

I gotten the sweet and spicy shrimp, which i highly recommend. Surprisingly the salad goes with it (it refreshes your mouth between bites of the main dish).

One of my favorites in Fort Worth! I love how the food is fresh and healthy. They pack in a lot of rice but every bite is perfect. The sweet and spicy shrimp is delicious - my favorite. The butter garlic shrimp and
lemon herb shrimp are good if you want a simple and light flavor. The creamy ginger dressing is amazing and honestly both flavors go well with the salad. You can’t go wrong with coco shrimp! It’s all a win ⭐️

Coco Shrimp is honestly so good! The food is always fresh, flavorful, and super satisfying. The shrimp is cooked perfectly every time, and the different sauces give it that extra kick. The portions are great for the price, and the vibes of the place are really chill and welcoming. The staff is friendly and fast, and the whole place feels clean and well-kept. If you love shrimp or just want something tasty and different, I definitely recommend trying Coco Shrimp! I didn’t expect the to get my orders so quickly !

I got the coco shrimp platter with cilantro lime dressing. The dressing was out of this world so good! But the coco shrimp was just mediocre. I don’t know if other ones are better but I was expecting more. I also don’t know if it was this food or what but afterwards both my mom and I had upset stomachs… it might’ve been too rich for our stomachs.

Update: MY STOMACH HAS NEVER FELT WORSE. The toilet it my home now.

Update 2: hi! I emailed the email address you provided but I have not received a response.

You can never go wrong with coco shrimp! I love this place. I love their cilantro sauce and buttery rice.

I always bring my friends and family when they come visit from out of town and they love it.

To tell you how good it is, my friend came to visit for 3 days and we got coco shrimp every day she was here because that’s what she came for. Hahaha

Family friendly and great atmosphere. It does get busy during lunch time but they are still really fast with service.

This spot is so unassuming and it’s delicious! We tried the Sampler box and chose the spicy, butter garlic, and coconut shrimp flavors. It comes with buttered white rice and a salad.

The staff were really sweet and helpful.

Oh my gosh, you have to try this restaurant! The coconut shrimp is absolutely incredible. I also loved the shrimp sampler platter, and the ginger dressing was just divine. And let me tell you about the butter rice - it’s so fluffy and flavorful, it’s like a party in your mouth! Oh, and guess what? They have a rewards program if you use your cell phone number when you order. How cool is that?

Their food is always fresh and tasty! Their shrimp is really fresh and tasty and the salad is also delicious! Their food portion is enough for one person and I could not finish some times. The best Hawaiian shrimp dish place👍

The shrimp was pretty standard and slightly overcooked for my preference, though I do have high expectations. However, the garlic butter seasoning was really well done, and the sauce made the rice incredibly moist, buttery, and just the right amount of savory—maybe a bit too rich, but it paired well with the romaine and carrot salad.

The salad was a great addition, balancing out the richness of the shrimp and rice. I also appreciated that the dressing was served separately. The cranberries were a bit too sweet for me, though I understand they’re a popular contrast in conventional flavor pairings.

I really liked the garlic sauce, which I ended up using as my salad dressing. I wasn’t sure about the poppy seed dressing, but I had a feeling I would have preferred something more savory than sweet.

Overall, I thought it was a pretty good value—getting seven shrimp for $13 felt reasonable.
