coco rico cafe

dated march 20 2020 6 pmtoday i took a stroll after afullday of self isolation during a global pandemic and noticed that this one restaurant on robson offered in-store dining and patio dining with the restaurant 1/2-3/4fulland patrons (shame on them) within 2 meters of each other and many of them seniors. this is one day after the city of vancouver had issued a city wide state of emergency in order to force restaurants to shut down for take out only service with the threat of prosecution as businesses were not abiding. there were one week of warnings to all restaurants and this restaurant was the only one on the block which remained opened for patrons to dine in.i called the restaurant inquire why they were still offering in store dining and the lady who answered said they had until 12 am to comply and that they were within guidelines. seeing how customers were talking to each other in close proximity on the patio suggests otherwise.i strongly suggested how serious the situation is and how all of our decisions have deadly effects on each other. i informed them their restaurant was behind a seniors home that is experiencing an outbreak two days ago with one patient who has since died. she didn't know or understand the gravity of the situation.she said that "i was wasting her time and promptly hung up on me"sorry coco rico , times are tough but lives are more important than livelihood.this restaurant is playing russian roulette with their patrons, their staff and the community with a flagrant disregard for lives and seniors. the owners are morally corrupt.

not impressed. there were four of us for breakfast on the 1st of july. there were 3 other tables occupied with two patrons each when we were seated. it took 15 mins to get coffee at which time we ordered. the australlian girl came back to our table 15 mins after that to refill our coffee and we asked how long our food would be seeing other tables being served that arrived after ourselves. the watiress said and i quote "are you in a hurry?". she then came back about 5 mins later and said that "some" of her dockets didn't print becuase the printer was broken. um, hello, we were the only table that hadn't recevied their food. i would have rather have been honest and say that she had forgotten to put our order in. i would never eat there again, and the watiress should be advised that customers are not stupid and knowfullwell when they are being lied to....... the food was simply ok.
