I’ve never been there, but I remember that an idiot named Jason Vicknair talked crazy about this place. Something about his poor little starving wife not getting shredded cheese quickly enough during covid. That guy was a complete tool (probably still is), so I want to do my part to increase ratings. If I’m ever in the Dallas area, I promise to stop by.
He had a phony complaint about it being his first date night in months, which was disproved quickly. People found his review history and it was littered with complaints. Basically the dude is a male Karen that deserves ridicule for the rest of his life for being a tool.

Very nice atmosphere. Salsa and chips are the best. Try the Mambo Taxi...

My wife and I had dinner here last week and I have to say, service and food are amazing. We shared beef fajitas and would for sure have them again. A manager stopped by and introduced himself, his name was Daigo and let me tell you I am no stranger to dinning out, on average we eat out 25-30 times a month, you could just tell his passion for food and customer satisfaction were far above what we normally experience in Houston. I also would like to add their Queso is very good also.
We didn't go to the bar but there is a nice bar area connected to the restaurant that would be nice to hit up on a Friday night. we will for sure be back.

This place is from Dallas. Everything makes sense now. This has to be one of the worst dining experiences of my life. They should be absolutely embarrassed of themselves and give this location up to someone who knows what they’re doing!
1) Queso - what you would get at a movie theater back in the day. Seriously. 2) beans and rice - straight from the H‑E‑B. The beans literally weren’t even smooth, the whole pinto beans were still present like when you open a can of refried beans. 3) tortillas - mission bell brand from the grocery store. Seriously. 4) Ambiance - like a Fairfield Inn but in the River Oaks District…
I should have known this was going to be a doozy when I got 4 fried potato wedges on my fajitas. Smh.

The chips and salsa were a great start to things. The ceviche was exactly how ceviche should be done (simple yet elegant) Pollo Moderno was extremely tender and the Ribeye Al Carbon will melt in your mouth. Not to mention Leonardo is a super cool server. Great vibes all together.
Food was delicious , our server Jonathan was EXCELLENT!

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Mi Cocina in Houston, and I must say, it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. The vibrant atmosphere, delicious food, and outstanding service made our visit truly memorable.
From the moment we walked in, the warm and inviting decor set the perfect tone for our meal. The place buzzed with energy, and the aromas wafting from the kitchen only heightened our anticipation.
Our server, Sofia, was nothing short of fantastic. She greeted us with a genuine smile and took the time to explain the menu, offering her personal recommendations without being overwhelming. Her knowledge of the dishes was impressive, and she helped us navigate the extensive menu with ease. Sofia’s enthusiasm for the food was infectious, and it made our dining experience feel even more special.
We started off with the famed guacamole, which was fresh and perfectly seasoned. Sofia made sure to check in on us frequently, ensuring our drinks were topped off and that we were satisfied with our choices. Her attentiveness without being intrusive was a highlight of our evening.
For the main course, I opted for the enchiladas, and they did not disappoint. They were rich, flavorful, and generously portioned. Sofia also suggested a delightful margarita that paired perfectly with our meal, showcasing her expertise in matching flavors.
What stood out the most was Sofia's genuine care for her customers. She took the time to ask about our experience and shared a few anecdotes about the restaurant's history, making us feel like we were part of something special. Her warm demeanor and impeccable service truly enhanced the overall experience.
To wrap up our meal, we indulged in the tres leches cake, which was the perfect sweet ending to our night. Sofia's recommendations and attentiveness made the entire dining experience at Mi Cocina exceptional.
Overall, if you’re in Houston and looking for a fantastic meal paired with outstanding service, I highly recommend Mi Cocina. Be sure to ask for Sofia—her service will undoubtedly make your visit even more enjoyable!

I went to celebrate my birthday. The restaurant is nice, acceptable service. Unfortunately I got sick of food poison for three days after my dine in at this restaurant, I had the Enchiladas Crispy Chicken Verde.
