BEWARE, this place includes an automatic 20% tip on your bill without telling you, even if the service sucks

Tipical Mexican American food!! For autentic Mexican food try some place else.Charging automatic 20% is wrong. Service don’t deserve more then 18% beside it should NOT be mandatory to encourage waiters to do an exceptional job. Will I come back? I have to think very hard on it…

Well, when one sees a margarita flight one has to try. Also tried chips and salsa yummy. Atmosphere is great with very attentive bartender?. Will update once I try an entrée. Happy hour was awesome!

Food is pretty good. Not the best I’ve had ever good, but better than average. Service was acceptable. Biggest issue I had was the mandatory 20% tip (“service charge”) and still a “tip” line on the check. It was noted on the menu, but I still believe this does nothing to motivate the staff to try hard. I hope they are actually getting that 20% tip disguised as a “service charge”.

Chile Verde was excellent! (I had mine in burrito form.) We arrived with a large party and no reservation and they found a way to seat us with a short, reasonable wait.

stay away, not only the quality of this restaurant is at most mediocre, they will automatically charge 20% as service fee without notice. It is their decision, and you owe them this because you ate there ?. Do yourself a favor and find any other place.

I was fortunate enough to find this local gem 3 years ago! Food is delicious and authentic. The service (from servers) is great even when busy!I would suggest that some if the young ladies that greet you had a different attitude, I'm a regular customer and some greet you with an attitude.Luckily, the servers make up for it!Went again this Monday with my husband as soon as they opened and our server JOE went ABOVE & BEYOND with his service! He's the reason I decided to leave this review! He's a great asset to La Cocina, hope to see him again! Great young man. And the food, like always, consistently fresh and delicious! I highly recommend this restaurant.For those complaining about the gratuity being included, NO you don't have to leave an additional tip like some mislead you to think. They actually cross out the part where it says TIP on your receipt. DON'T BE CHEAP! ??
