La Cocina Mexican Restaurant

Spent my whole life here

I can't even remember when I started coming here. When I was like four years old or something. Back then I didn't appreciate it: got a basic plate of cheese enchiladas or a tostada.

No no no!! You like crunchy tacos? This is THE place for crunchy tacos. (I assure you, I've plundered this city for anything better.)

Get two beef tacos. Make sure you say SHREDDED beef. And then tell them you want them OLD-FASHIONED style. Got that? Two shredded beef, old-fashion style tacos. You'll pay a dollar extra for each taco. But, come on, trust me for once in your life.

• Pros: crunchy tacos; the pork; free margarita nights
• Cons: no more mannequin fiesta ladies :(

Definitely my favorite mexican restaurant

by augenmaugen at Citysearch

I have eaten here at least 10 times in the past 3 years and I absolutely love it. Everything tastes awesome with huge portions and good prices. The Carne Asada Fajita Burrito plate is my favorite; two huge burritos stuffed with the best tasting steak, onions and peppers, on a big platter with beans and rice all covered with melted cheese and whatever else for just about 11 bucks. They also have great chips and salsa, for FREE unlike many mexican restaurants these days.

Plate is hot!!!!

My friends absolutely love this restaurant. I have been about 7 or 8 times. You get seated right away and usually order right away, too but the food takes a little while to come to the table. If you are in a hurry, go somewhere else. They have a cheap or maybe even free margarita night. The plates arrive burning hot which is a huge bonus. I got a chicken taco once and it had cartilage or something in it so I only get cheese enchiladas now. The cheese is so hot and meltey you have to wait a few minutes or burn your tongue. I think the beans have a funny taste to them but no one else seems to notice, so I guess its just me. The fact that the food is so steaming hot and fresh overrides that. You get red and green salsa with the chips. Prices are reasonable for a sit down/waitress kind of establishment. The place has a crowded/high energy feel so its a good place to take friends.

• Pros: Food is HOT, service is great
• Cons: Food takes awhile to cook
