La Cocina Mexican Restaurant

This Mexican restaurant in St. Augustine is very nice inside. There is also outdoor dining although it's on a busy road. The service was very good. The food was very good except for their version of Queso Fundido. These people use mozzarella cheese in their dip. We were so disappointed in the gooey glob which had to be cut with a knife. No dipping was able to be done with the chips. My friend and I had a good laugh over the use of mozzarella cheese in this dip. Totally skip it if they continue using mozzarella Other than the dip, the food was good. My carnitas were very tender and very tasty. My friend had the standard enchiladas and they put some mozzarella on or in it. Please, leave that to the Italian restaurants.

Thank You So Much La Cocina! You were amazing! We arrived 30 mins before closing! We totally received your kindness and your respectful help to accommodate us! Then the food came out perfect in every way

Me encanta este lugar. Llegó aproximadamente una hora antes del cierre, conseguimos nuestra mesa veinte minutos antes del cierre y aún así nos acogieron. Trabajadores encantadores. Nuestro camarero era una encantadora mujer mayor que era la más dulce. Ordené las flautas y esas fueron algunas de las flautas más populares que he probado. Normalmente las flautas no me llenan, pero esas flautas estaban deliciosas y me llenaron rápidamente. tenían mucho sabor. El plato también viene con una pequeña porción de arroz que también disfruté muchísimo. el lugar tiene el mejor ambiente de todos los tiempos. Profusamente decorado con todo tipo de cultura mexicana.

Everyone here is so sweet. The food is delicious. The margaritas are outstanding! I would definitely recommend and will be coming back!

We had wanted to try this place for a while and were very happy to finally have made it happen.Everything was fresh and delicious, with bold flavors and spices. Our server, Andy, was so nice and took great care of us. The interior design is absolutely breathtaking and really enhanced the overall dining experience.We started with the complimentary chips and salsa, and quickly ordered some guacamole. Loved the freshness and spice of the salsa, and the guac was delicious.The spicy beef nacho soup sounded different so I ordered a cup. It was full of beef and flavor, a perfect course for a chilly day.For our meals we ordered chimichangas, a shrimp taco salad, and the chicken fajita. All the food was generously portioned and bursting with flavor, but the fajitas that I had were a real treat. They add tequila and light them tableside, which was a lot of fun! (See the pics). But the tender chicken blended with the tequila and onions and peppers put it over the top.So lucky to have this gem in our beautiful town, and we will be back.Pro tip: Ask for the two homemade hot sauces, but be ready for the heat!

We visited for lunch on a Saturday. Place was super clean, everything well accommodated. Our server was nice but he could have being more attentive. Now the food was awesome. Fresh Salsa and chips, amazing meat and the refried beans were great. My wife ordered soup which was good but the stuffed avocado is not something we liked. Crab meat lacked flavor and we had to put salt and request lemon and Chipotle sauce to be edible. Visitamos la localidad para almuerzo en sábado. El lugar estaba limpio y todo bien acomodado. Nuestro mesero pudo haber sido un poco más atento. Sin embargo, la comida fue fantástica, en su mayoría. La salsa y los nachos eran frescos, y el refrito estaba exquisito. El Aguacate relleno estaba algo carente de sabor, la carne de cangrejo en este necesitaba sabor, al punto que tuvimos que añadirle sal, pedir más salsa de Chipotle y limón para que fuese apetecible.

Un ambiente familiar con un toque bien Mexicano tradicional. Excelente servicio y una comida espectacular. Recomendado para todos. si estan en el area no duden Pasar por La Cocina Mexican Restaurant.

The drinks were excellent, chips, salsa and guac so fresh & the main course were superb! Had the moljacate meat bowl - delish! The flaming fajitas were fun too! Had no room for dessert! Service was wonderful and the decor is quite authentic! Looking forward to returning!PS - never give 5 stars so this is an excellent rating!!

Stopped in on Christmas Eve, as I had nothing in the house. And I feel ashamed that after growing up in this city, that this was my first visit. First off, the lady working (I didn't catch her name) was an absolute gem of a human being. Super nice, super sweet, checked on me as needed. I ordered a Moscow Mule, and I swear to god, I've had a mule just about anywhere you can get one in this town, and this was BY FAR the best. The food was hot, fresh, and filling. The portions ain't no joke here. If I could give them more than 5 stars, I absolutely would.

We stopped in tonight & didn't know what to expect. I had shrimp in a spicy red sauce with Spanish rice & refried beans & it was absolutely the best Mexican food I've had in my life! The tequila sunrise was really tasty too.
