Carne en su jugo was good, but restaurant not clean, our seats not wiped & crumbs on corners of cushions, table looked untidy as well. Small spoons for soup.

El Cocula has kinda become the spot I come to for special occasions. It’s always the same, nice and quiet, that Mexican hacienda vibe, and sometimes the live mariachi walking around the tables just makes it feel even better.
I went with the bistec a la mexicana… oh man, I haven’t had that in a really long time. Skirt steak simmered in a mild tomato sauce, with the bell peppers, onions, and tomatoes. The steak itself was juicy and tender, not tough at all, and it soaked up the sauce so every bite had that mix of smoky meat and the slight sweetness from the tomato. The peppers still had a little bite to them, not mushy, which I liked. The rice was fluffy and the beans were creamy and smooth, just the kind that makes the plate feel complete.
Honestly, I need to start coming here more often. Between the food, the vibe, and the friendly staff, it always feels like a good choice.

Steak were cooked twice the dryness affected flavor. Corn tortilla not made in house. BREADED SHRIMP very dry. Beans were tasted americanized. Mixed drinks were made very well. Servers were quick and friendly. Plenty of free parking. Need help on food quality has dropped in recent years likely cooking to fast and reheating meats.

Service and atmosphere was good. Coffee was horrible and steak had no flavor. The rest of the food was actually pretty good.

I do like this Restaurant but not quite the location is my favorite Commercial and Calumet city are my favorite locations and their food taste a lot better but I love that they have party trays that will feed large amount of people for a good price.

The restaurant has been a staple with my family for years for any celebration like birthdays or if we just feel like going out for a nice weekend dinner. The servers are always nice and accommodating, specifically the older gentleman who happens to always be our server. He's always very attentive and makes sure to get our order right if we have any accommodations.
