Welcome to Coqueta, a cozy corner of Hillsborough, NC where the bold, vibrant flavors of Mexico come to life. Our name, which means “flirtatious” in Spanish, reflects the playful charm and heartfelt warmth we bring to every dish, every smile, and every guest experience.

At Coqueta, we believe food should tell a story—one rooted in culture, tradition, and family. Our menu is inspired by time-honored recipes passed down through generations, featuring handmade tortillas, slow-cooked meats, and the rich spices that define true Mexican cuisine. Every dish is prepared with fresh, locally sourced ingredients whenever possible, and always with love.

Whether you’re joining us for a quick lunch, a family dinner, or just craving comfort food made right, we’re here to make you feel at home. We’re proud to be a small, family-owned business serving the Hillsborough community, and we hope you feel that connection in every bite.

Thank you for supporting local—and welcome to the Coqueta family.
