Mi Cocina

Joel P was so great!! Such a welcoming vibe and gave such attentive service - will absolutely be back to sit in his section - also the pollo moderno was on point like always so so good

Had a great experience at Mi Cocina! The restaurant has a fancy and very clean atmosphere, and to our surprise, there was no wait--we were seated right away. The service was excellent, with friendly and attentive staff. I asked our waiter for a fajita recommendation, and he confidently suggested the meat over the chicken. I went with the mix to try both, and he was absolutely right--the meat was the standout! Overall, it was a great dining experience, and I'd definitely come back.

It's Mi Cocina. If you know Dallas, you're familiar with this local chain restaurant. The name alone makes it a solid go-to option. However, the food is just OK, not the best Tex-Mex in town, but the restaurant is a solid choice for out of town visitors and business gatherings.The menu offers various options for a reasonable price compared to other restaurants.The service is speedy.An important tip about this specific location is that you're better off doing valet for $5 than self parking for $10-$15.

Awesome Mexican Restaurant ! Huge plates full of delicious and flavorful food, service is wonderful a well Will gladly return very soon .. both managers were super kind and attentive

Mi Cocina in Uptown is by far the best Mexican restaurant to go to. Our waiter, Joel, is AMAZING!!! Food was delicious as were the traditional margarita drinks. Any imperfections were immediately corrected, BEST SERVICE by far, ask for Joel!

This is a nice place to get Tex Mex in a fancy location. My husband used to live in Dallas, and he wanted to come to this area to get some Tex Mex. I think he hadn't realized the degree to which the area had gentrified. We ended up eating at Mi Cocina because it was the only Tex Mex option in Uptown (no, Velvet Taco doesn't count as Tex Mex, sorry). We were there for a late lunch on a weekday, so it wasn't crowded, and they were pretty attentive to our party that included two kids (they do have a kids menu). The setting is cool and elegant. They play Latin/Caribbean (mostly Cuban, a little Dominican) music rather than Mexican music.We started with an order of guac and an order of the yellow queso. The guacamole was excellent, and we all loved the freshly fried chips. I also loved the salsa that they automatically bring out. The queso was only okay to me, but my husband loved it.I had the lunch special brisket tacos. They were really good. I wish that they came with beans instead of the avocado salad, but only because I didn't like the dressing on the salad. Otherwise, I liked the green rice, and my daughter liked eating the veggies on my plate.My husband had the fajitas, and he liked them. My son had the kid crunchy beef taco, and he loved it. My daughter ordered a quesadilla, but they brought her an enchilada, and she did not like the enchilada sauce, so she ate more chips and the avocados and tomatoes from my salad. I ate some of her enchilada, and I thought the sauce was too salty.They have an Arnold Palmer on the menu, which is what I ordered. The iced tea was unsweetened, which was good, but the lemonade was clearly not housemade, and given the location, it seems like a disgrace to have an Arnold Palmer on the menu that uses Tropicana. Just saying. My husband asked for a silver tequila on the rocks, and they brought him reposado. It was an excellent tequila, but not what he ordered. I'm generally not a fan of chain restaurants, especially for things like Tex Mex, but apparently those are the only options in Uptown Dallas nowadays. And Mi Cocina isn't bad, it just isn't what I was hoping for on our one unscheduled meal in Dallas.

I love Mi Cocina. The menu is extensive and unique, but also has all the Tex Mex classics. Their Mambo Taxi (I recommend the skinny) is one of my top favorite margaritas of all time, if not the top. The service is always solid, staff is friendly. The ambiance is comfortable and lively. Definitely my go-to Tex Mex in Dallas!

FOREWARNING if you want to remember your dinner limit yourself to 2 twisted margaritas, they are dangerous even LETHAL because they taste so good but hit ya even gooder. Very high quality interior and presentation makes you wanna stay forever. The food is good nothing too impressive but overall the whole vibe and ambiance is one i recommend!!

Huge Thank you to Manuel, Chuy & Chef : Lolo Definitely the Vibe in this element every table touch to see if we were good was even better .. Tex- mex Remarkable Naomi & Alizeha the cordialness is inviting along with the menu knowledge .. Mi Cocina uptown cheer's a threshold of respect from a culture of gratitude...

The food was extremely good. Would have easily got 5 stars, but the hostess was not the best. Actually ended up leaving us as she directed us to our table. Then she couldn't validate parking correctly. Took a while to get the chips and salsa once seated. Drinks were good.
