Definitely Crazy Coconut for the restaurant name.

The best part is that I specifically picked the ONE wine they sold by the glass, and I POINTED to the glass. When he came over and opened the bottle, I thought it was just a new bottle, but it became evident that it was MY bottle.

I would also point out that the Coco Loco was DELICIOSO and ECONOMICO, *NOT* AFFICIANADO as I kept saying it was. *rolls eyes* What a silly girl!
