Cookie's Mexican Food

Let's just say...Dear business, don't you dare ever close! It's a small hole in the wall with a family that makes its food authentically as if you were sitting in your mom's kitchen! They cook and treat you with their hearts not their hands.

Today I learned: This place has been serving McKinney for 28 years, and it was our first time to visit, definitely not our last. It's lunch only, and it's most definitely a "form follows function" place. Small dining area, somewhat utilitarian, but clean and well lit. Place your order by the hot food server area, and pay after you eat at the register nearby. Mexican Coke as well as the usual array of sweet bottled drinks are available, as is a soda fountain with Pepsi products. But what of the food? In a word, great. I chose the birria taco platter, netting me four crispy street taco size tacos filled with a generous serving of lamb, a cup of consomme, and a smaller cup of red sauce to add some spice. Chopped onions and cilantro are also provided if you want it more traditional. The lamb was unmistakably lamb, but not gamey at all. Tender and juicy, and even better when dipped in the consomme, these tacos were divine. My wife ordered the gorditas, a pair of flour tortillas split open and stuffed with chicken and pork, with sides of refried beans and rice (both almost certainly housemade, and delicious). The gorditas were fantastic as well, with tender meats and great seasoning.Bottom line, this was a great meal served in an old school lunch joint that impresses where it counts, with the food and service. Don't let the low key exterior fool you, there's deliciousness therein.

Hidden gem for real. Food: I got the 3 tacos lunch special for $14 - carnitas, shredded chicken, and barbacoa with a horchata. A single tortilla taco was a bit off putting, but I was really disappointed when I went to pick up my taco and it just ripped in half. The meats are extremely flavorful and juicy but that made the tortilla get mushy and rip. Atmosphere: Access road was closed off due to construction & this is not typically my favorite area to be in, but the restaurant itself was spacious and clean!Service: Guy & his daughter are so sweet. Ordered and left with my togo under 5 minutes & this was on a Monday around noon!

Oh My Goodness!! So good and service was so friendly. Food came out very hot and fast. Will definitely be back next time I'm in McKinney.

The best migas & breakfast burrito in town! Beans & papas were really good as well. Not crazy about the corn tortillas. Salsas are good & spicy.

Just your standard street taco and other things joint but they are putting the magic in their recipes here. The place isn't much to look at and sometimes the ordering methods are weird but the food comes out hot and packed with flavor.

The only complaint I have is it's closed Sunday and Monday. Menudo is good and so are the carnitas tacos. Observation that the breakfast tacos are a hit.

First timer. Loved it! I've been wanting to try Cookies for years but with the construction, and the fact they close at 3pm, made it a challenge. I got the taco plate with barbacoa and al pastor on flour tortillas. Everything was so delicious. The rice, the beans, the taco's, the green sauce. Yum! Can't wait to go back.

Small and simple - with great food and good service. This place is legitimate. Clearly family owned... which I love. We came for breakfast... The breakfast burritos are outstanding... And very large. I ordered the big... But I had to take half home to eat later. My wife had the migas. We will definitely come back here regular. Bi lingual staff.

When you first walk in you are greeted warmly with a hello. I ordered the taco plate with 1 chicken and 2 beef fajita and it came with a small drink . I would give the taste an overall 5/10 because it could have a more flavor, it would have been better if it was a double corn shell because when I picked it up it broke apart. The bean are really good as a great taste for some beans. But I would go back and give it another shot. The price was 14.06 which is good
