La Cocinita Mexican Restaurant

Great staff that works there! Always striving to please the customer. Offers a great meatless green chili that is so delicious. I hope this place stays open since the rumors keep stirring that it will be closing. All items are very tasty on their menu. HIghly recommended!

A north Denver classic - sweet family owned place - good mex/American menu. Prices are reasonable.

I had the best carne asada and it came with huge slices of lemon a roasted pepper another roasted sliced pepper guacamole rice beans and the steak was superbly seasoned and cookedChoice of corn or flour tortillas also plus you get the chips in and salsa to begin with

First, the food was really good and the patio looked inviting - however, we sat inside as it was extremely hot. Inside could have been cleaner and more inviting as far as ambience, but the food and margaritas were really good. Staff was adequate and friendly. Solid place for when you don't need the ambience - just good food at a pretty reasonable price.

The menu has been pared down a bit. . . there used to be like 40 combos and now there's just 10 or so. I don't think I've ever gotten anything but rellenos so it doesn't bother me any. The rellenos are great but this place really sticks the landing on the ambiance. It's a love letter to the north Denver of yesteryear, still existing in small pockets but getting squeezed out by greedy developers building gaudy box buildings with creamsicle orange trim. Down the street there used to be a dive bar that now serves biscuits. I hope La Cocinita never changes; good food served at a fair price under the slightly too-bright light of a fluorescent bulb. Worn out vinyl seats in the booths, salty waitresses, a nice patio out front. Cold Pacifico. It's nearly perfect.

So this establishment has been in here since I went to high school in this neighborhood- So it's ancient, but the food back then was much better- I'm not sure if its owners are new or it's the same family but the food was mediocre -Not sure if my review will have an impact because it's always busy regardless - I'm assuming because every time I come in it's on the weekend and early and they serve alcohol and it's a good place to nurture a hangover - Either way it's nice to see it still open after all these years - 7/15/19Busy as use, we came here because of the location, but reassured not to come back - Although the staff was friendly the food was cold and not fresh - 99 Mexican food restaurants in Denver but this ain't one -

The food is amazing. This is our go to local Mexican food spot! Great prices and atmosphere, truly a neighborhood gem.

Delicious and affordable. The guac isn't my favorite but pretty much everything else is really good.

I had a great experience from the moment I walked in. The soda and chips were brought out right away. The service was amazing and so fast. I ordered 2 tacos, enchilada, and burrito. I can say without a doubt this is my favorite Mexican restaurant in Denver. I will definitely be coming back and brining family and friends. 10/10 recommend!!
