La Cocina Mexican Restaurant
La Cocina was started in 2003. Our first restaurant was in Acworth at the Publix center at Brookstone on Mars Hill Road. Soon afterwards we opened our Dallas location in the Kroger center at the intersection of highways 278 and 61. Our every effort is to make sure that your visit with us is as pleasing and enjoyable as possible.

We strive hard to make sure that your food is delicious and consistent and that your service can't be beat. We were once asked what brand of canned beans we used because they were so good. We only use freshest and finest ingredients. That's why our food tastes great! If you are not already, we hope that you will soon become our guest.
Services
Grilled steak, chicken and shrimp in a bowl, covered with cheese dip and served with pico and tortillas. The freshest ingredients perfectly mixed with avocado, mortar & pestle style, right in front of you. Ten perfectly cooked wings covered in your choice of our home-made Sweet, Mild or Hot sauce. Served with ranch or blue cheese, and celery.

Delicious food, good atmosphere and even better service. My waitress Ney was really nice, she recommended me a delicious margarita (never had one before) and I was pleasantly surprised on how good it was! Definitely coming back VERY soon.

Entering the restaurant, first impressions are lovely and charming. Each wall is a different color, and the tables are modern and simple.
Service is fast and amicable, and while the chips provided to us were warm and salty, the salsa I could speak less for. If you personally are not extremely picky about your salsa, don't worry about a thing. Myself I would rate it a 4/10. The heat level of the salsa is medium and pleasant, though it's overly watery and too salty to be enjoyable. Also beware, the prices here are quite high. Expect to pay between $10-16 before tip.

Boss man took me out to lunch there. We had a good lunch and he paid for it all. That always improves the experience for me. Good service, good food, good god let's eat!

Great food. My server Jay was on top of everything. My drink was never empty, nor my chips and salsa. Jay was very pleasant and friendly. Didn't rush me with my orders. Even convinced me to order dessert. You need more like him. Definitely will come back.

Great attitude by my server Rosario and the manager Noemi. I opted to sit outside on the patio while eating and having a delicious Margarita. Also, the food came out quick, and was good. Will definitely be back.

I came in and sat down and it took 15 to 20 minutes for service.
It took a long time to get my meal.
When I got my order it was wrong so I had to sit longer for my meal.
When I got the meal it still was not right but I ate it any way because I got tired of waiting.
Then my glass was empty and had to wait for service.
Servers are unfriendly.
I waited 20 minutes to get my glass refilled.
The floor was dirty under the table.
Good luck with your trip.

I have to first say that it's hard to find a good Mojito anyway! My friend and I have traveled many miles looking for a good one and so far this is the best thing about moving to Dallas!! This place has truly an amazing fresh Mojito! Also this place has a HUGE menu of different Americanized selections. We sat outside and weren't miserable. They have umbrellas that help and with the angle of the building, it kept the sun from making it miserable. I can't wait to visit again soon!

Delicious! Real authentic Mexican food that is served fresh in a comforting environment. Margaritas were great and service was even better. Specifically my server Ney, she was super nice and attentive. Definitely coming back in the near future.

I've eaten here countless times and several years ago it went under new management. We are there twice but left our food. Hard to ruin Mexican food because it's pretty simple but they did. Now it appears they changed it again and the food is back to normal! I wouldn't say it's exceptional but it's decent and happy to be going back.

The food is usually okay but the rating as of 5/30/21 was an 87. I think that rating is inexcusable and when we were seated it made sense. They weren't busy, they had to clean a booth for us, the floor in that area was a mess! There were about 5 employees standing around talking, not one of them came over to take our drinks actually nobody acknowledged we were there so after about 6-8 minutes we left.
We live in the area and I won't go back, I'll drive another 10 miles to go elsewhere.

The salsa was fresh and tasty. I had the flavorful tortilla soup. It came with avacado, lime and tortilla strips. The chili rellenó was heaped with ground beef. The tamale was presented on a bed of ground beef which was also spread over the chili!

We've been back to La Cocina twice since our recent negative experience, & both meals were terrific. I'm saying that September was a glitch. Just wanted y'all to know.

And on Saturday night they have a live troubadour. Fun!

A COMPLAINT......

Pictures speak a thousand words, and I could kick myself for not taking one this afternoon.

I'm a one trick pony. When I find a dish I like, I generally order it again and again. So when it came time to order, it was a no-brainer: "chori pollo!" I said.

Look at the photo I originally posted. Today's portion was about one third the size. I complained to our server, who saw the meager piece of chicken. "I'm sorry," she repeatedly said. The manager ultimately came out. "I'm sorry," she echoed. "I'll have to tell

Place is kinda dirty. Manager isn't doing her job. Sitting at the bar talking to her girlfriend the whole time I was here. I think used to have better management. We come here a lot. Ppl are friendly. Annoys me about the manager.

Always have the worst service and quality of food when I go.

This trip was the last time I'll go. Ordered an appetizer as the same time as my company did. About 15 minutes and the other persons entree comes out while I'm told that mine will be out any minute. 30 minutes rolls by and we get another "your food will come out any minute".

Finally after 45-50 minutes, my food comes out looking terrible and still cold.

Another 10 minutes rolled by waiting for the server, who was awesome, to ask if he could take it off my bill and that I didn't want it. He eagerly took it
