About La Cocina Mexicana

La Cocina Mexicana is a vibrant Mexican restaurant located in Halifax airport, offering a vacation-like atmosphere. The colorful decor and a nice bar in the middle create a refreshing ambiance. Despite being in an airport, the service is quick and friendly, with staff continuously maintaining the area. The menu features a variety of options, including a selection of sauces for added spice. One popular dish is the 3 tacos, served with refried rice and beans. Prices are reasonable for an airport restaurant. The owner and staff are attentive, ensuring customer satisfaction. In addition, La Cocina Mexicana offers a deal on guacamole, chips, and a bucket of beer.

The food is described as fresh and tasty, with good selections for kids. The Barbacoa taco is a popular choice, but the shrimp is recommended to be skipped as it is fried with batter instead of grilled, and the accompanying mayo is too heavy. Customers appreciate the good choices of hot sauces on the side and the fast service, making it a good place to wait for a flight.
