The owner brought out this cup of soup prior to my meal. Chicken broth with fideo. It was ok.

Inside Cocina Mexicana Express on Solano. Fine for a casual meal, but not very comfortable. The owner is a really nice guy.

The best tacos in las cruces. They have a storefront on Solano with an even bigger menu than the food truck at the market.

The food was outstanding authentic Chile Mexicana. Located on the University side of Cruces, and you just pull right in.

This review is for food picked up at their restaurant, not their food truck. Today, we went to the Cocina Mexicana Express for a takeout lunch order. They are not ready for indoor dining at this point. We had a beef flauta plate (with rice and beans) and an asada burrito smothered in green chile. Both meals were good, but the 5* rating belongs to the burrito quality. It was filled with an abundance of asada beef, onions, avocado and smothered with cheese and a great tasting green chile sauce. It is the most perfect asada burrito in town. I have found other good ones, but the quality of their sauce (to my taste) is what lowers their overall rating. Service was great and friendly. We will definitely be back.

Good breakfast burritos! We ordered the bacon & egg burrito, and it was simple but tasty. The tortillas were very fresh. I also felt like it was a great size for the price ($3.25). We would stop by for another breakfast here!

I arrived at Cocina Mexicana Express in the late morning. They were doing a steady business, but the strange thing was that I was the only one dining in; everyone else was waiting to take their food out. The owner, a really nice guy, greets you at the front counter as you walk in. I ordered a red pork burrito and the green combination meal. You encounter a drink dispenser on your way to a table. The owner quickly brought out a little bowl of soup as opposed to chips and salsa. The chicken soup with fideo had a nice flavor but didn't amount to much. A few minutes later my red chile meat burrito arrived. Inside was pork that was shredded and also chunked. The heat level was above average. The flavor was just ok, kind of middle of the road. Rate this burrito about a "B-." The main meal arrived after about ten or twelve minutes. The little flauta was hard and tasteless. I did not eat much of it. Rate it a "D." The refried beans were the normal. Rate them a "C." The rice was fairly good...rate the rice a "B+." The owner brought out a basket with a warm, large flour tortilla. The tortilla was good. The chile relleno was really sub-par...mushy and flavorless. Rate the relleno a "D." The rolled enchilada was filled with a little green chile and white cheese. It was average. Rate it a "C." The green chile contained some chunks of potato. The heat level was above average and the flavor was sort of pedestrian. Rate the green chile con carne about a "B." Fairly good but nothing special. I have dined in this restaurant several times over the years and the food, while not bad, has not really improved. It remains a middle of the road production. Out of the 65 to 70 Mexican food restaurants in town the Cocina Mexicana Express is ranked number 34th. It is right smack in the middle of the pack....nothing special. For the overall dining experience give it THREE AND A QUARTER STARS.

One of my fav Mexican places in Cruces. Authentic and good prices too. They give good service and pretty fast I sometimes order it for lunch and it's ready in 10-15min. Everything I've tried has been amazing!

Best burritos I've had in town. They do have weird hours but other than that it's so good. Their chile Rellenos are to die for and the tortillas they use taste homemade. This place will continue to have my business.
