La Cocina Mexican Restaurant

I've been to La Cocina 3 times now, and it is about as good as Mexican food gets in this particular area. They have an extensive menu, so there's no reason not to find something you like. Tonight, I tried their super combo platter with everything on it, just to be able to try a variety of their offerings. I asked for light cheese, and if that's light cheese, they must really pile it on! This platter had a taco,
tostada,
chili relleno, tamal, and a chalupa, and it
was all
served with beans
and rice. All this
for only $15.50! The taco was crisp and tasty, as was
the tostada. The chili
relleno had much
to much cheese
for my
taste, but once I removed some
of it, the
relleno
itself
was quite good. Now,
that is only
my personal
preference. Most
people would
love the
cheese (not my
favorite
food). The tamal was a
bit dry, but
still tasty. Sorry -
I never made
it to the
Chalupa. So much
food! The
beans and
rice were very
acceptable. With my
beverage,
(I left the
restaurant with
enough food
for lunch tomorrow )
it only took a 2O dollar bill. There was
a variety
of flavors in the meal,
and I left feeling like
I got a lot
of bang from my buck.

Service was Spotty, but the
waitress had
a big table as well as
several other
tables to
serve. The music
was also
quite loud, and
wrestling was
on the TV. I recommend
this restaurant
for a family meal, but definitely isn't a date
place
unless you
like a lot
of noise.

The chicken tortilla soup was just whatbI needed and the Chori Polo chicken is always good. it was perfect for my lunch! #8robinsonsdtv #mariodeblakrobinson

Kennedy rocks!! Great live music and great food! We will be back often. Love this cool neighborhoods gem

Come here all the time, service has always been good and proportions have always been pretty generous for the most part. The new “owner” has made it hard to enjoy. They’ve cut the portion almost in half, and argue that it’s the correct amount (we’ve been coming here for 10+ years and gotten the same thing every time.)

Our Waitress was awesome and the food was delicious.

Very pleasant experience! I moved to the area about 5 years prior and have driven by many times. I finally stopped by for a very early dinner and it was great. The chips and salsa had just the right amount of very mild heat. The server was great, came right over immediately and kept checking in with me. Even bringing me a refill without even asking! I ordered and she suggested that I might be interested in a similar combo that was slightly cheaper. She was right, the combo was exactly what I was looking for. The beef burrito and the chicken enchilada with rice was ready very quickly! The food and plate were hot and extremely delicious too! I can't believe I waited so long to go here, but I'll be back.

We will give it 5....the chips are great, light & crispy, saltiness was nice & low.. The salsa was great with the chips, and the food. Our food was all good and portions good. No complaints
Our server was Kenedy, attentive & friendly and had a good chat with too. The manager (owner? Sunday evening 7/7) was very nice too!! thank you!
ETA, went back recently and was STILL GOOD!!!
