Food quality has been better. It was really busy and there was only 2 people working to run the register, wait tables and work drive thru so the customer service was stressed.

Cozy little place definitely not a big chain. The food is prepared with love and served with the same. This is not your fair paced run and gun burrito shop. This is the real deal. I gave 3 star for atmosphere so guest would know what to expect. Very clean and welcoming.

Dry tacos , I was doomed if I didn’t have any water . Confused at service because she asked my order then went to wipe tables . Didn’t know my order was ready until they asked the guest what their order was . They weren’t mean just not the best service nor quality for the price .

Open all the Mexican and TexMex restaurants you want, but La Cocina is still the king of Mexican cuisine in the city. Everything on the menu I’ve tasted over the decade I’ve eaten here is delicious. I travel all over the country and this place has the best salsa in the country. They remember their regulars and the greeting is always warm and friendly. My go-to is the burrito tapatio with grilled chicken. The prices have stayed pretty steady over time. It’s usually my first or second food stop when I come back home.

All I can say is that the food is adjusted to fit the taste of locals. If they love it then thats all that matters.
I do not matter as a reviewer since I am merely a visitor.
I am blessed to live in a state which has excellent Mexican food with real pico de gallo or salsa not tomato sauce. I ordered cheeses enchiladas. Could not eat it, rice and beans were not up to par. Enough said!

I came here based on a recommendation from my husband's friend. The place is small, and the waitress seemed inattentive when I was explaining what I needed. The prices differ from what I saw online, and while the food is very tasty, the portions are quite small. The place was overcrowded, and they even charged $3 for a tiny bit of lettuce. Despite the delicious flavor, I was annoyed that they didn't provide a detailed receipt. We ordered two waters and fajitas for two, which the menu listed at $26, yet we ended up paying $45 just for the fajitas and waters. When it was time to pay, my husband decided not to argue, so we just paid and left. The rice, beans, and food portions were small, but truly delicious. However, we won't be returning due to the high prices and tiny servings.

Went here on a friend’s recommendation and were not disappointed! Started w/chips & salsa (chips were fresh & crisp and the salsa was also fresh & delicious, one of the best I’ve ever had!). We had margaritas w/our meal & they too were delicious. My wife got the chicken šŸ“ fajita, which was a pretty large portion, and I got the 3 hard-shell beef plate (I was craving a taco 🌮 (I also usually try the tacos first at a new place) and they were some of the best tacos I’ve had, they were fantastic! (My new place to go when I want a taco!) loaded w/fresh tomatoes and lettuce, with cheese and the seasoned beef was outstanding! Put some of their salsa on there and it was devine! I can’t rave enough about the salsa and tacos! I’m looking forward to trying the torta, the soft-shell tacos, and the street tacos. Will definitely be going back and highly recommend it!

I eat here often. The drive thru is very convenient for lunch when you are on a time limit.

Usually its great but last night was a disappointment! The salsa was spoiled! They brought another one and it was from the same batch! The beans and tamales were also dried out! They were also sweeping around us. More focused on getting out of there than good food and service! It was only 8:30 - close at 10!
HOPEFULLY MANAGEMENT WILL SEE THIS! Last night I told 3 PEOPLE AND NO ONE CARED!

Birria is so flavorful, and the Borracho steak is delicious as well. Or Pollo Cancun if you like chicken and shrimp and mushrooms. The best part? You can customize your sides to your liking! I prefer frijoles charros (think of it as the Hispanic version of red beans, rice and sausage) and calabasitas (grilled zucchini and corn-you won’t be disappointed!!) instead of the traditional rice and refried beans.

The food was good, with the exception of the shrimp tasting old.
