I haven’t had La Cocina in a very long while. I don’t even remember what I had. Mexican food is not one of my favorite foods but I do like it. I know ala Cocina has a pretty good reputation. I scanned the online menu and it didn’t take me long to find the birria tacos. It came with two sides. I decided to try the charro beans and Spanish rice. The email I received said my wait would be about 20 minutes. I drove to the restaurant and waited in my car for a bit. When I walked in the restaurant there was someone attending to some tables. The was a sign to ring the bell to get some service but the waitress saw me. I told her that I had an online order and within a few minutes my food was ready. When I got home I noticed there was chips and salsa in my bag as well as the other items I ordered. I didn’t realize my meal came with chips and salsa. I guess that’s not out of the ordinary but it was a pleasant surprise. Anyway I started with the rice and then with the beans. There was nothing really special with the rice but I don’t think I’ve had charro beans. They seem to be beans with what seemed like vienna sausage. It didn’t taste bad. I really didn’t know what to expect. On the to birria tacos. The definite star of the show. Being that my food was take out there was some sogginess to the taco shell but the tacos held up pretty good. I dipped the first taco in the consommé (yes, I googled it). It was very savory and the meat was tender. I don’t eat a lot of authentic Mexican food but I know what good food tastes like. I definitely would recommend the birria tacos from La Cocina.

BEWARE! DO NOT EAT HERE UNLESS YOU LIKE FOOD POISONING!!!This place has been my favorite Mexican restaurant till tonight. I always have always ordered the same thing, Chicken and Steak Fajitas the food quality has gradually declined but tonight it dropped completely to un edible. I have NEVER had it so spicy to the point of not being able to eat 1 bite without a full glass of milk to leave in the mouth till the pain subsided. The chicken was so dry and over cooked it couldn't even be chewed, the same goes for the steak(what little steak there was). The vegetables (green bell pepper, onions, tomatoes and mushrooms) were absolutely RANCID! So much so I actually vomited after the first 2 bites. The tortillas were old and MOLDY and were hard and brittle. The rice and beans were the only thing edible and even they too were terrible!! I have now been throwing up ever since getting my food, less than one hour ago. What a complete WASTE of $25. Shame on you la cocina for selling me ROTTEN OLD FOOD that has caused me food POISONING

Outside looks a little funky but the food was great service was good. Would eat there again.
Delicious food, generally friendly staff, cozy vibes! Food may take a while to get to you during busiest hours, but is well worth it. Big serving sizes means you may need a to go box for certain dishes. Take out or dine-in, sure to be a tasty time, and staff recognize regulars and are happy to make conversation.
Chips and salsa are decent, fajitas are tasty, the churros and flan are great desserts, I've yet to find a meal I dislike here.
Vegetarian options: Most of the food includes meat but there are some options that do not include meat, though the inclusion of dairy via cheese lessens the options for vegan diets more. Alterations can be requested to exclude cheese or meats if need be.

Today, my family and I had lunch at La Cocina, which turned out to be the worst dining experience we've ever had. For nearly 30 years, we've been loyal customers, but we've decided never to return after what happened today. Our meals were served with spoiled crema/sour cream, which they refused to acknowledge, despite it tasting and smelling like blue cheese—a cheese they don't even offer. Rather than remaking our meals or removing them from our bill, they chose to dispute our claims and demanded full payment for the spoiled food because we had consumed a portion of it. Maria L. insisted on us paying $20, a sum that cost them a long-standing customer and earned this negative review. We wished for a different outcome, but their appalling customer service and refusal to take responsibility have led us to sever ties with this establishment as of today, 8/9/2024.

Food was very good. Everything was freshly made. The service was attentive. The building needs work. It was a hot day and their AC was not up to it. They had fans blowing. We will go back.
