La Cocina

Recently we had La Cocina last minute for take out in hopes it would satisfy our craving. I've had them before but tonight I felt like they were off. The chips tasted a little aged and I'm big on tortilla chips. The service I can't really speak on because again the food was a pick up order. Ambiance I can't really say too much about either, I was just a bit disappointed in our food that night. I'm going to give them another try but probably not as a take out order.

I love it here! If you're looking for great margaritas and the best chicken wings this is the place to be! Staff is always friendly and it's always a nice vibe.

Was visiting and my friend said let's do Mexican. I'm always down for Mexican so we went to La Cocina. I asked her what she normally gets and she said she has never had a bad meal here. I decided to try the ACP ultimate, which had steak, chicken and shrimp with cheese. At her suggestion I got the cheese on the side because she said it's too much. I should've got it on the plate, not sure if they skimped because it was on the side but it wasn't enough. It was however plenty of food(meat) I could've done with less meat and more rice; especially since the steak was over cooked and dry. The shrimp was cooked nicely and the chicken was mixed with some dry and some fresh. My fried deciders on the birria tacos and said she takes back about everything being good. I have never seen birria tacos look so pale and no consommé. She ended up eating the meat out of the flour tortillas. It's a nice place, I would give them one more try if I'm in the area. Our waiter Kelvin was so nice and attentive.

Great food! And the environment is really fun. Our server was kinda busy at first, but the service picked up after a while. Everyone got margaritas and they were really strong! I love that they have virgin drinks for children and those who don't drink. They were on top of keeping chips on the table. I think it's so funny how they bring out a sombrero for birthdays, but I do worry about if they clean them after each wear.

My friends and I popped in here for lunch. Service was great and the ambiance is like a typical la cocina. OurFood was delicious and it came very quickly.

If there was an option to leave zero stars I would do that for this experience. We were barely greeted walking inside the restaurant. Our server was incredibly rude. We ordered our food and she brought us a side of something we didn't order. Then proceeded to become upset when I mentioned it to her. She never asked us if we needed anything else or how the food was. My daughters ACP looked like it was still raw. Rice was hard and dry. So we paid and left it on the table. We will not be back, there are several other Mexican restaurants in Burlington we prefer where we are treated with kindness.

One of my go-to spots to meet my parents for dinner who live in Durham since I live in Greensboro! Favorite Mexican restaurant in Burlington and easy access right off Huffman Mill road plus plenty of parking being connected to the old mall. Service is always great and the food is too!! Their salsa isn't too thick, could probably use a little more chunky tomato's or onions but still tasty and pro tip - we always ask for pico de Gallo on the side to add and it's always super fresh! Plus have a hot salsa option that's definitely fire to your mouth! I always get one of their combos (I prefer their beef or cheese over their shredded chicken)or chicken fajitas and my mom loves their shrimp dishes or good ol' enchilada and taco combo. My dad loves their different big burritos! They treat you like family when you come, always willing to accommodate your order and are always on top of their stuff when it comes to keeping your chips & salsa and drinks filled!! Plus they have a great patio section out front offering outdoor seating (which allows me to bring my Yorkie so she can see her grandparents!)

Great Lical place, the staff is outstanding . You get greeted at the door. The food is top notch and plentiful. I enjoyed there yellow rice and refried bean as well as my Carnitas. Great Place

Was seated and brought chips and salsa but no one took my drink order for 10mins. I watched 4 other tables get sat and order. Not 1 person took the time to check on me. Horrible service! Won't be back and will definitely encourage others to skip this restaurant!

First time here, and it'll be our last time here. Food was ok -- 3 stars for that, but there are plenty of 4+ star Mexican/Latin places in the area that do a lot better. Service. Was. Awful. Absolutely terrible! We didn't see our waiter Cuevas much, although we did see others going back and forth. Drink refills took about 20 minutes, and I waited about 30 minutes before my black bean soup FINALLY arrived. He never did bring the extra salsa we had requested. This guy needs some serious training.Prices were ok, although we were charged $3.24 for some requested tomatoes and sour cream for my wife's tacos (which we only saw once we got our bill--our waiter did not say there would be an extra charge). Seriously? We were sufficiently angry that at that point we just wanted to get out of the place.
