My Cocina

The food we ordered is no where near authentic. The steak was undercooked, they forgot food for my order and didnt even offer to bring it back out, ordered a mango drink and got pineapple ordered a MEXICAN dinner and didnt get tortillas, ordered 3 chicken tamales and got 2 and the third was something different. The shrimp ceviche was disgusting and mostly juice. The torta cubana was more like a house special torta, nothing that shouldve been on it was besides the ham. I honestly would not recommend this place to anyone who enjoys authentic food worth the prices they charge. Furthermore the customer service is non existent. Instead of offering to fix the meal she said she’ll make sure it’s better next time… why would there be a next time?

I live in the area, so I have unfortunately seen restaurant after restaurant fail in this very same location. I wasn’t even aware this place existed until I «Yelp-​ed» nearby Mexican restaurants. My Cocina had good reviews (and lots of them!), so we decided to give this place a try. I am glad we did! The food was fresh and delicious! Might be slightly more pricy than you’re average taco joint, but the quality and service more than make up for it. I’m so glad this place seems to be doing well, I hope they stick around for a long time.

5 stars for a $$ restaurant. I am a tamale snob. Their pork tamales are made fresh to order. Added a little time before we got our food but worth the wait. Looking forward to my next visit.

4.5 stars. Get the chorizo burrito, it’s awesome!

Great fresh food.
Friendly staff. Awesome horchata.
Everthing is made fresh on demand. You can tell.

Outstanding restaurant! The family who owns it is attentive, kind, and gracious. And their cooking is appetizing. The location wasn’t convenient for me, but one can assume that this small restaurant compliments the neighborhood. Worth a try… and the trip.

This place is not so great. The shrimp cocktail was mostly water, I didn’t really enjoy eating it.
Shrimp ceviche was more like a cucumber salad with a hint of shrimp, I wouldn’t recommend it.
We also got stuffed jalapeños and they were great.
Also if you decide to order flavored waters ask for no ice cuz it was mostly ice.

I didn’t believe it when I first saw the Unilocal reviews for this place. Couldn’t be that same place I’ve been passing in that little strip mall.
Well holy glocamole, it was the best Mexican food I’ve ever had. We started off with the glocamole which tasted incredibly fresh. My wife had the talapia tacos, my daughter had a chicken burrito and I had bacon wrapped shrimp stuffed with cheese served over rice and beans. They have your basic tacos/​burritos but they have some very unique things on their menu that I cannot wait to explore. The décor is very cute albeit small. Service was very friendly and helpful. Can’t wait to go back.

Best hole in the wall you’ll ever find in the burbs that’s for sure. Amazing food, great atmosphere, and they deliver… I just found where my paychecks are going.
Hours are 8 a.m. till 10 pm except Fri and sat, till midnight.

Tasted fresh and homecooked! Steak was great quality. Definitely recommend and will return soon.

Hi this is a great place to eat for appetizer I had the stuff jalapenos and they were very good and I already tried chilaquiles posole the steak Oaxaca and they all were very good Great Service!!!

I just got… OWNED (p0wn3d for some of us) for the rest of LENT season and beyond at this slightly pricier (area-​relatively) hole in the wall-​ish Mexican cocina. This 5 star rating and review is based off of only their Shrimp and Fish Tacos… GREEN SAUCE!!!
That green sauce, man, ohh mannn. FRESH and refreshing. On point, and it’s a good sign my friend. (you can argue for it to be spicier)
Big succulent shrimps perfectly seasoned and cooked. Due to a number of bad experiences in the past (places love using those smaller/​tinier shrimp ahem Chilango), I rarely ever order shrimp tacos when dining out. I feel like it was a sign from God, lol, to be reintroduce to SHRIMP tacos.
Fish tacos were just as good… okay okay, they weren’t as good as those shrimp tacos and I’m generally a fish taco guy. Still, they were SOLID (strong solid, if my bold wasn’t clear enough) with the lime and avocado.
The craziest thing was… I didn’t even use the green sauce on my tacos because they were just perfect the way they were. Homemade style indeed.
My only minor gripe, being a 5’6 guy, I would need at least 4 tacos.
disclaimer: I was relatively hungry at the time

Went in to Cocina Sat evening with my Family. Great food. Very fresh. Service fantastic. I got a steak burrito. Real steak. Not ground meat that some call steak. Wasn’t chewy or greasy. The chips & salsa are all homemade. Everything is even the salsas. Very good portions as well. Would definitely return, & recommend. Keep up the good work.

The guacamole is the best. The tacos are great. But the guacamole s to die for. Nice people and everything is fresh.

I noticed this little joint a few weeks ago when I was driving. I’m from the area and it caught my attention because it was new and Mexican food which is one of everyone’s favorite!
Today me and my boyfriend decided to stop by and dine in. The décor was so cute! It was colorful and had the loteria card game theme. A lot of Hispanics play this game and it so much fun! I noticed it was family owned and I thought that was so cute. The daughter was a waitress and her mom was the cook. She was very polite and friendly.
My bf ordered tacos de carne asada with lettuce cheese and avacado like always lol. I ordered the chilaquiles with chicken and scrambled eggs. They stop serving breakfast at 11am and it was 12 but I was in the mood for this plate and our waitress said it was fine.
When our food came out we were amazed! It was all so delicious me and my boyfriend tried each other’s food because it was just that good! I will be returning to My cocina a lot more!

Over priced tacos… $ 25 bucks for 2 taco dinner (I don’t think so) Chicken Tinga is not that great and very stingy with salsa for take out. They will never get my business again… Went to this place because of all the great reviews but I’m going to stick to my regular taqueria.

My Cocina was such a pleasant surprise! Recommended by many Unilocalers we nearly drove away when we saw the storefront. It’s rather non-​descript from the outside. Don’t hesitate to go in!
The service was very friendly and the food was superb! We had the fajita special (shrimp, grilled chicken and skirt steak) and the quantity served didn’t disappoint — so much food! Also tried the talapia tacos and the grilled chicken tacos. Each delicious — try the talapia! It’s really good!
The food is freshly made and tastes it.
Try My Cocina –you won’t be disappointed!

All I can say is wow…
Actually no, that’s not all I can say. The Tacos are so authentic and delicious. The Tamales are incredibly fresh. This place is within walking distance of my home and that’s dangerous for me now having tried it. I feel like I will be there several times weekly. If you want authentic Mexican food and don’t like waiting long to get it, visit My Cocina.

Great steak and veggie fajitas. Not greasy like other places. Guac tasted a bit processed but still good flavor. Tamales were good but eat them same day as reheated wasn’t the best. Great little place and give it a try!

WOW! I could leave it at that, but Unilocal yells at you if you don’t leave a long review!
Let me echo a common theme here, fresh! Everything from the chips and salsa, the tortillas, and the meat was just absolutely fresh and delicious.
I kept it pretty simple with a tamale and a couple of tacos. You would think that in order to call yourself a Mexican restaurant you would be able to master these staples. I have had some bad tamales and tacos and my days, but I can honestly say these were the best!
I am not exaggerating here. Absolutely the best tamale and the best authentic Mexican tacos I’ve ever had in my entire life! Congratulations on earning my first five star review!

Asked Siri to find restaurants near me. Been passing this place for couple months without thinking of trying it.
Seeing the Unilocal reviews, I looked over there menu and decided to give it a try. No regrets. Ordered the mixed fajitas and the first bite was amazing. So many things to try on the menu and will definitely be a regular customer.

I tried My Cocina for the first time tonight with my girlfriend and we were both very impressed with the food. There’s nothing like fresh and authentic Mexican food that is made from scratch. I ordered the tilapia tacos which comes with rice and beans and the homemade guacamole and loved every bite of it. I’ve been waiting for a healthy mexican restaurant with fresh ingredients for a long time and now I have a great option that doesn’t fry the food. I will definitely be coming back soon!

Went here tonight for the second night in a row. Last night had an extremely flavorful steak and today… the BEST shrimp tacos I have ever had. Tamales were made fresh and had the perfect texture. Not too firm and not too soggy. I can’t say enough good things about this place. Can’t wait to go back and try one of their soups on a cold day. I think Los Fernandez might have some competition.

This was recommended to us from some local neighbors. New place, recently opened and the food is great! We started with a guacamole with tomatoes and cilantro and the flavor was delicious! Kids had horchata amd quesadillas one with shrimp and one with chicken. Both were great! My wife enjoyed her chicken tacos, she liked the season grill flavor and I went with a traditional chills relleno with corn tortillas. They are working on their liquor license, but We will be back regardless. Give it a chance, you won’t be disappointed!

Been to My Cocina twice in the past week. This space was a hot dog place for years, nothing new seems to last. Kind of tucked into the corner of a not so great, tiny, strip mall. Not a lot of parking. My Cocina, however, has all the makings of a fantastic place to eat. The owners have done a great job remodeling. The place is bright and clean.
Went the first time on Sep 4^th with my husband and son. I had chicken enchiladas wtih salsa verde, my husband had carne asada and chorizo tacos, my son had pescado-​tilapia tacos. Everything was very tasty and fresh. We did start with cazuelas, which was ok, only becasue it was served in a bowl and pretty much turned into a large lump of cheese. Still edible and flavorful, would be better served in something that retains a little heat.
Today I had lunch with my mother. I had pastor tacos, she had carne asada tacos. The pastor was the best I’ve ever had, flavorful and tender. I also had esquites, seems pretty typical, loved it. We were also given a chicken enchilada with salsa roja to try. That’s what I’m getting next time!
What I appreciated most was that everything is fresh, and the enchiladas are not hidden underneath a blanket of cheese and too much sauce. The owners are using family recipes, and it shows. They’re happy to talk to patrons. I hope they make it!
Update: I’ve been to My Cocina 6 times now since Sep. 4. I need to add that the quality and service is very consistent. So far, the sopa de albondigas is my absolute favorite.
Nov 1: Went for breakfast with 4 other people. Excellent! My family and I, or just myself, have been to My Cocina Mexican Grill once a week since Sept 4.
