The Infatuation's guide to NYC's best Puerto Rican restaurants singles out Cocotazo as a spot where weekend timing matters, advising that 'if you're visiting on the weekend, make a reservation first' because the place tends to fill up. The guide describes a crowd that skews toward young couples and families with kids, the kind of turnout that pressures a small East Harlem dining room on Friday and Saturday nights.

No wait-time or line specifics beyond that reservation advisory are reported by The Infatuation, and hours were not listed on the page. The takeaway from the source is straightforward: walk-ins are fine on quieter nights, but weekend diners are steered toward booking rather than risking a table search on arrival.
