That is a physical reaction called effervescence. The carbon dioxide is super-saturated in the coke and the surface of a mentos provides nuclei upon which the bubbles can form. You can see a more controlled formation of bubbles on nuclei if you fill a glass with coke and carefully scratch the inside of the glass with the corner of a triangular file. Where the glass is scratched, bubbles will form. It will be easier to see if you use a colorless carbonated beverage or plain carbonated water.
