El Cocinero is a fantastic casual dining restaurant that offers a wonderful dining experience with great food, drinks, and atmosphere. The menu is small, making it easy to choose from delicious options like the chile relleno taco and Carnitas corn taco. The tacos arrive quickly, and the waitstaff is kind, attentive, and helpful with recommendations, ensuring a fun and memorable time. The outdoor seating is a great spot to enjoy a meal on a nice day, and the decorations create a cute and inviting space.
The drinks are also a highlight, with the "El Cocinero Margarita" being one of the best and consistently great. The hot sauces are phenomenal, although there have been recent shortages. While the prices may be a bit high, the food is well worth it. However, there have been some complaints about cleanliness, particularly in the bathroom. Overall, El Cocinero is a great place to visit and look forward to coming back to.
