Enchiladas: 2 carne asada with mole and one suiza with verde! All were the bomb. I would love to try so much more of their menu. Next Chicago trip maybe. Good margaritas too!

I came here for lunch with my coworkers, and I ordered the burrito dinner. "Dinner" just means the plate will be served with rice and beans. Also, if you dine in, they will serve you a basket of chips. The food wasn't too special. The portions are large, but the quality of the food is so-so. My pastor burrito was pretty bland. Also, a lot of the pastor pieces in my burrito were the fatty pieces of pork that I don't really like. Rice and beans were decent, but nothing tasted very flavorful. The service is fine. They were pretty busy during lunch hour, so they didn't check on us, but it wasn't an issue because we pretty much could handle it on our own. Water and cups are at a side table that is self-serve. The ambiance is alright. It's quite loud. And the theme of the restaurant throws me off a bit. It's decorated like a miami-esque bar (i.e. tropical foliage, splattered pink wall paint) with a designated space for a DJ booth to the side. And I get that they appeal more to the "bar feel" at night. But then, during the day, it clashes with the restaurant vibe.

I get the steak and chicken fajitas, man are they awesome! Good amount of food for the price. My order is always correct also. I get it with only rice and shredded cheese added. Thank you for a great lunch, every time.

Stopped by because I was craving tacos on my lunch. I ordered the Fish taco dinner which came with 3 tacos, rice and beans. I felt that the beans were kinda plain, and the rice was lacking flavor. The salsa verde however was good as service was quick and welcoming. Fish tacos were a little dry but the salsa helped. Vibes and atmosphere are cute though.

Ordered a burrito dinner from here an hour ago. I asked for extra salsa on the side, which they provided. two of those little sauce cups. AFTER THEY CHARGED ME AN ADDITIONAL 6.00. Barely even salsa, it's Franks Red Hot. Lol. What a joke. The burrito was also a loosely wrapped, wet, sloppy mess. Waste of money and Worst Mexican food I've had.

Delicious!!! Reasonably priced for the city and the portion sizes are good! The food was fresh, the music was good, and the atmosphere was fun with the cool murals and pink lighting! Stumbled upon a gem out of hunger and now I have a new fav in the city! The bartender that served us was delightful and very helpful with menu recommendations too

This place is phenomenal. Honestly, I've only ever had the pastor, because it's so good I can't bring myself to order anything else. Conveniently located in the loop, La Cocina brings real, authentic Mexican flavor to the table. Once seated, you're greeted by friendly faces from behind the bar and immediately served chips with 2 different salsas. The pastor is packed with flavor, the sweetness of pineapple and the perfect amount of sautéed onion. Served on fresh house made tortillas, you won't find anything better in this area.Right by my work. I've gone twice and will continue to go. Reasonably priced, incredibly fast and friendly service and delicious food. Support small businesses!!!

We were craving a Mexican-style breakfast and found this neighborhood gem near the L. My wife ordered Huevos Rancheros and I had Eggs with Chorizo. Both came with a side of refried black beans and rice. The beans tasted homemade and the rice tasted like it was made in a cast iron pan - both reminded me of my abuela's! The huevos rancheros were made with a roasted adobo sauce and were so good! You can't go wrong with chorizo and theirs is good. Service was fast and friendly. We would have given 5 stars but they don't have coffee, only canned or bottled drinks. Not that big a deal; there is a coffee shop next door and I just walked over and got coffee to go.

Very rude manager did not pass the vibe check. Made us uncomfortable! He yelled at us for moving the table 1 foot from where it was it was crazy I don't think it was that serious
