Great place to eat, the food was wonderful. It did take a while for the server to stop by the table at first, but was very attentive after that. It was very loud, but with hard surfaces all around it would be hard to be more quiet. .

We had Friendsmas and Mi Cocina was the best decision. The food, drinks, and services were great. One of our friends got sick and the hostess brought paper towels and was there to assist. We had a wonderful time!

Great ambiance, good food, slow service is the best way to sum up this experience. I’d probably return for Happy Hour since the cocktails were delicious, but it wouldn’t be my first stop for dinner.
