    Comfortably casual as a Mexican restaurant should be. Food was exceptional - fresh and well prepared with a strong lean into TexMex.

    Great time at Mi Cocina! The margaritas were so good and the chicken fajitas were so much better than other places. We preferred them over the beef. The queso was forgettable to be honest, but the service and fun music and ambiance made up for that.

    *best frozen margaritas in the city PERIOD. *beef nachos are a must to start. Covered with beef and a savory cheese blend.. *use high quality beef and chicken in their dishes; portion size is more than ample. *service is consistently good. Friendly, helpful and engaging. *other: Mi Cocina was our go to place when we lived in Dallas 13 years ago. Thrilled to have them in Houston. They did not lose a beat over the years. My comments are over multiple visits. Good value/quality/price.

    Decided to try this new spot but to be honest, the food sucked. I can’t say it was great at all, not even a 1 Star. But the waiter was great!!
