   Service was VERY slow. We didn’t get our drinks until 30 minutes after sitting down and food about an hour after we sat down. Food was tasty and the ambiance was nice.

   The food was great, the service was impeccable, and the manager came by to make sure all was well. It was surprisingly quiet for a Saturday lunch, however, the last time I had been there it was packed, so I think it depends on the day of the week and the time of day. I would highly recommend it, it is not a traditional Tex-Mex restaurant, although those dishes are available.

   Service was not good. Food and drinks came out slow and inconsistently. The food while not bad was nothing special. On the other hand, the drinks were very good.

   There weren’t many people there when we ate dinner. The place is very nice, well decorated, friendly and attentive staff and a great selection of food. The menu is quite large and has a good mix of both Tex Mex and authentic Mexican food. Everything we ordered was great. We will be back.

   Absolutely delicious! Our server was great. The music was a little loud but it was the Saturday after Valentine’s Day so a bit crowded. We will definitely be returning!

   The food was good, and service was attentive. Refills on drinks. Noticed a very cool bar in the back which would be amazing for a small party.

    I love Mi Cocina’s food but the restaurant seems too dark to me. I wish they could lighten it up a bit. We had a great experience with Denise and will be back.
