No no no. Average to below average slapped together Mexican food. Over priced too. The guacamole was not 100% avocado. I think they stretched it with sour cream. It had a washed out pale looking color. The white queso dip was watered down and way too thin. The salsa was above average, but needed a little more zip or heat. The chips were semi warm and tasted semi fresh. They tasted a little on the heavier side. I prefer a thinner lighter chip. The meals were so-so. We all had some kind of chicken configuration. I had chicken enchiladas, and one of my guests had a chicken bean burrito, and the other had a chicken 'quesadilla'. I put quesadilla in quotation marks because it just wasn't grilled properly; meaning the outside of the flour tortilla. It was grilled half ass at best. It was stuffed with too much onion and green pepper. It was more like a chicken fajita. The flavor of the chicken in all of the dishes was tasteless and bland. It tasted boiled and not grilled. The beans tasted older and not so fresh. The rice was plain, lackluster and unimpressive as well. The enchilada sauce was heavy in taste and also from a can. This place is a dime a dozen hole in the wall like most of the 'authentic' Mexican restaurants I have been to lately. It's a real disappointment as it always is, especially considering I noticed that this place had decent reviews on Yelp before I decided to dine there. With only 3 reviews, maybe I should have passed and considered it after a few more reviews. The parking lot was also barren, so maybe I should have considered it a potential red flag. I really do try to give a place a chance, but I suppose my gut feeling was right once again,......and by ignoring it, I learned the same old lesson. But, with that said, I will vow to continue my unrelenting quest in discovering an amazing Mexican restaurant. I just refuse to give up!I guess until I find a Mexican restaurant that simply blows me away, I will continue to make my own. I honestly say I definitely do it better justice.

Perfecto. Textbook Mexican restaurant with everything you would expect and want when you think of 'getting Mexican'. Except better. Idk how they make their chicken and tortillas test the best, but it was noticeable better. Had to wait longer than I was hoping but it was lunch rush, so expected. I give this restaurante mucho stars.

I have given this place several chances. Queso is basically milk, quesadillas are watery and chimichanga was just not good. Won't ever be back.

They have moved to 912 N Morton. This is the best Mexican food around. The tortillas are delicious (along with the fajitas). Their salsa is also the best. I highly recommend La Cocina! We go there once a week and never tire of it.

Food is the best Mexican food I've ever had! The carne asada (steak) tacos are amazing! The tomatillo hot salsa is to die for! New location is easily accessible, and we had our food on the table within 15 minutes of ordering! 5 stars!! Repeat customer, always excellent service and food. A hidden gem!

Ordered Nachos Supremos for delivery via Grubhub, only to find out that La cocina doesn't actually have "chefs". How do I know that? Because a Chef wouldn't even think to put toppings on a nachos order for a delivery order! Nachos = toppings = 5 minutes = SOGGY! Nah not even considering this disgusting place again! Threw the entire order of food in the trash.
