La Cocina Mexican Restaurante

Not sure about the current rating?? We have been going here for ages. Both to dine in and carry out. The food is always delicious and they have an incredibly large menu. The atmosphere is awesome and so is the customer service. Prices are very reasonable. Give them a try. You will be happy you did.

What first impressed me was the customer service followed by the impressive flavor of the dishes. As far as I am aware they do not have a way to order online. Therefore I called the restaurant and placed an order. The employee I talked to was clear, friendly, and thorough. She gave me a three digit number to use when picking up my order. When I arrived, I was greeted by the hostess. I relayed the number and she brought me my order and checked it for accuracy. This was much appreciated. The order was accurate, portions large, and items packaged well. I particularly liked the shrimp and chicken quesadilla. The proteins had excellent grill flavor and seasoning. Overall, we enjoyed our meal and would order from here again!

Nice establishment, with pretty good service. Our food was pretty okay. I believe we went on an off day.

Good for your typical Mexican restaurant. Plenty of options on the menu and the food comes to your table very very quickly. Servers are always making sure you have refills. You can sit inside or outside on a nice day.

The shrimp taco salad was terrific. The service was quick and efficient and much appreciated after a 4 hour slog through holiday traffic.

Normally love but my whole fam got violent food poisoning after we had dinner there Sunday night rip :(

Yum and Yum! Quick fast service! Food came out promptly. Friendly servers, clean place, outdoor booth seating, LIVE MUSIC Friday night on the patio was a pleasant surprise. Fairly priced food items, minus a four piece shrimp taco for $9... super over priced there. I got a virgin mojito... delicious! I paired my drink with the whole fried Tilapia fish, but the sides could have been something more than rice and lettuce. Maybe a plantain pairing with more avocado. Family friendly environment.

Food sub-par. Service was horrible. Nelson the waiter did not refill our drinks, follow up on the quality of the food as presented, No offering of to-go containers or drinks. Did not provide us a bag for the multiple containers that we had. In addition, the company is now charging a CONVENIENCE FEE. No explanation at all to the guest at the register. Ferdinada the lady who checked us out had a flippant attitude about the fee and that the world is charging this now. I said no it is not. 2.9% fee to cover the cost of using a credit card for the payment. Since inception, credit card companies fees were the "price of doing business" and the restaurant wrote off the cost as an expense. Since Covid, restaurants are doing this to gain income from the customer who they think will pay because they think it is unavoidable. We simply take the fee out of the waiters tip and let the mgt. know that we did this. They cannot do anything about it as it is our right as the customer to pass on the cost back to the restaurant at the "expense" of the waiter. Lets see how long mgt. keeps up this unfair practice. Hiring good staff will be hard to do. Consumers need to band together against this unfair practice by restaurant mgt. We have to fight back with the power of our wallets and purses.We will not go back to this restaurant even though we have been going there since they opened. Mgt needs to train their employees to represent the company policy better. We did not feel valued as customers at all.

I have been here a few times. The food is honestly hit or miss. I can say the food sometimes is delicious other times it is alright. The waiters are always nice. Food tends to come our fast. They have gluten free options but could be cross contaminated. The horchata is delicious. They are usually busy. They clean the tables rather fast when customers leave!

I placed an online order for pick-up and the lady that answered the phone was very helpful and was overall super kind. Once I arrived at the restaurant I was greeted immediately when I walked in the door by all staff, they all seemed very welcoming and happy to help. The food was delicious!! I definitely recommend stopping by or ordering takeout while in Garner! Great place to eat, and customer service is amazing!
