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.
Overcharged for take out containers and to use a debit card not up front about that until after they swipe your card!
It's pretty unassuming and a bit off-putting from outside due to the pretty closed off windows. The tamale was just alright, which makes sense for it being served at a resturaunt, and the burrito was delicious. Took home leftovers and they warmed up really well.
Delicious! Perfect service and fresh food
I loveeee La Cocina. Each and every single time I have went, it is always perfect. The food is delicious and the service is great. I've been going here for a long time and they've never disappointed. Any time family comes in town or I need somewhere to go to for a date and I'm really craving Mexican food, this is where I'm going. It's just something about the environment, it's small and personal but not overbearing. They make the food fast and with heart that you just can't find anywhere else.

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.

The only fried fish taco in town. Super delicious!!
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
