La Cocina

I’ve been coming here for years. I like their food. It’s a good break from Taco Bell. So if you think Taco Bell is authentic Mexican food. You might not like this. The people are very nice. Fast service for a sit down place. I’ve never found their prices to be high.

No no no. Average to below average slapped together Mexican food.
Over priced too.
The guacamole was not 100% avocado. I think they stretched it with sour cream. It had a washed out pale looking color.
The white queso dip was watered down and way too thin.
The salsa was above average, but needed a little more zip or heat. The chips were semi warm and tasted semi fresh. They tasted a little on the heavier side. I prefer a thinner lighter chip.
The meals were so-​so. We all had some kind of chicken configuration. I had chicken enchiladas, and one of my guests had a chicken bean burrito, and the other had a chicken ‘quesadilla’. I put quesadilla in quotation marks because it just wasn’t grilled properly; meaning the outside of the flour tortilla. It was grilled half ass at best. It was stuffed with too much onion and green pepper. It was more like a chicken fajita.
The flavor of the chicken in all of the dishes was tasteless and bland. It tasted boiled and not grilled.
The beans tasted older and not so fresh. The rice was plain, lackluster and unimpressive as well.
The enchilada sauce was heavy in taste and also from a can.
This place is a dime a dozen hole in the wall like most of the ‘authentic’ Mexican restaurants I have been to lately.
It’s a real disappointment as it always is, especially considering I noticed that this place had decent reviews on Unilocal before I decided to dine there. With only 3 reviews, maybe I should have passed and considered it after a few more reviews. The parking lot was also barren, so maybe I should have considered it a potential red flag.
I really do try to give a place a chance, but I suppose my gut feeling was right once again,…and by ignoring it, I learned the same old lesson.
But, with that said, I will vow to continue my unrelenting quest in discovering an amazing Mexican restaurant.
I just refuse to give up!
I guess until I find a Mexican restaurant that simply blows me away, I will continue to make my own. I honestly say I definitely do it better justice.

Best Mexican food around. Hidden treasure. Once we tried we never go anywhere else! Food is always fresh and delicious.

I Love this place.. Flavor is great, the staff is friendly and the food is quick and delicious. ⁴⁄₅ because sometimes communication is rough and I was served meat once because of the communication issue… they were quick to fix it and very apologetic.

Quick service and great food. The lunch specials are great as is the unlimited free chips and salsa. There are a few options for vegetarians (heck yeah!) and the food is pretty standard fare for Mexican restaurants in the area. I’ve never seen it crowded (mind you, I’ve only been during lunch) so there is never any wait.
