Okay...I was out for a walk downtown yesterday during my afternoon break at work and came across this hidden gem. I told myself I'd try them out the next day with a machaca breakfast burrito. BEST DECISION EVER!!! Many Mexican places have the "authentic Mexican food" signage, but rarely do they live up to it. This place is definitely an exception. It's like grandma would make! So good, I had to call and let them know how delicious the burrito was and telling my coworkers about them! Like the terminator, I'll be back!

I love La Cocina De Mamá. Every time I'm in downtown I have to stop by. I've actually been twice this month. I got the enchilada combo. It came with two enchiladas (your choice of filling), rice beans, and a soda. The rice was my favorite, it was so flavorful. This time I got it with asada and asked them to add cheese. The asada had the perfect amount of flavor. My friend got a burrito and she loved it. The place is pretty much ran by two badass women who make the best food. There are 3-4 small tables if you want to eat there, but the tables are usually taken every time I go. Therefore, I always take it to go.

Had a breakfast burrito today for the 1st time and it was delicious! Salsas were delicious as well! I've had Pozole from here and it's pretty good! A must try downtown!

I stumbled upon this hidden gem. I ordered a sopes and it was delicious. If you are in the area, be sure to support this local business.

Second time coming here and the food is excellent. This time I got the tostada, enchilada, and side of rice and beans. The food was freshly prepared and excellent! The only recommendation I would have is that I was surprised by that there wasn't as much food as I expected in the to go box for the price (which was still reasonable at $10.50). Next time I will order more.

I ordered the albóndigas and asada burrito. The food was pretty good. The ladies there were very nice and friendly. The only complaint is that the portion was small for my albóndigas (meatball soup). There was more broth than veggies or meat. Besides that, the flavor was good. The horchata was very delicious!!! I'll definitely go back if I'm ever in the area again.

Treated myself to a breakfast burrito this morning and it was marvelous. I got a large chorizo breakfast burrito and it came with potatoes, refried beans, chorizo, and cheese. I also asked for the green, spicy salsa. This burrito was delicious and so filling, and all for $6! If you are around downtown, you can't go wrong with Mama's.Additionally, they don't have any indoor seating due to Covid, and have stickers on the ground to help everyone stay 6 feet apart. The woman who helped me was also wearing a mask and washed her hands in between each customer. They are doing a good job adhering to regulations.

The price of the food and the service is awesome here. You can eat here, but the business doesn't run the air conditioner, so it can be hot in there.

On our way to the zoo we decided to get some brunch for the kids. We ended up at La Cocina by complete chance. Small hole in the wall, I assume with the last review being a year ago that this place is mostly for the regulars around the area. Kids got their asada taco with rice and beans. I ordered myself a asada burrito and my girl got 2 gorditas. Everything was good, way more than we expected. Kids destroyed their plates. We ordered 2 drinks and then pulled a drink for the kids from the cooler. We forgot to pay for the drink from the cooler and when my gf went back to pay for the drink that wasn't charged the lady said it was ok and didn't charge us for the kids drink! Def a place to stop if you are in the area. Only reason for 4 stars is due to lack of restrooms and pay to park.
