The service here was amazing, Danny was fast and attentive, our food came out so fast I didn’t even get a chance to dive into hunger. Had the creme brulee French toast and Veggie Hash with hot sauce. The food was great and flavorful. And they have in indoor and outdoor dining area. I like sitting outside but it was raining so we sat inside. Overall, great dining experience.

I was a little hesitant with their small menu but once we got our food and tried it we were pleased to have chosen this restaurant. Everyone in our group loved their food and agreed it had good flavor. Definitely recommend coming to eat here.

Loved the atmosphere. The flavor of the food was good. We got both red and green chilaquiles. Unfortunately, the tortilla chips in the dish were too thick and hard to chew, kinda hurt my jaw to eat through them. Also, I wish they added more queso fresco and sour cream as there was barely any. They also drowned the dish in sauce, so it was a bit much, but the flavor is good. My husband ordered French toast, and they were delicious.

Cocina brings Mexican food to a new path. Exquisite flavors and unique dishes. Don’t expect your usual chips, salsa and guacamole, the experience is more sophisticated without loosing their origins. Service is great and ambience vibrant and casual. We order their birria tacos and a delicious passion fruit margarita.

I discovered cocina when it first opened a few years ago and it easily became a favorite spot. The staff is always friendly, food amazing, and the ambiance/decor is so lively and artsy.

Honestly this place is consistently on point. You really can’t go wrong with any dish. It takes Mexican food to the next level. The sauces are flavorful and bright. The meats are tender. The customer service is also great and if you’re there for bottomless mimosas your glass will never be empty. I absolutely recommend this place.

My family and I had lunch here we had the green chilaquiles, the pinga quesadillas and tlayuda with birria. Everything was absolutely delicious. Our server was friendly, the place was clean, and comfortable.
