Enjoyed everything. The food was great, maybe a little too spicy, but great. The spicy Mango drink was good, along with the Texican Candy Had the FAJITAS FAMOSAS. And tortilla soup Live music on the patio and music over the speakers was a little too much, and it was hard to carry a conversation. Overall, definitely returning

Great place to eat, the food was wonderful. It did take a while for the server to stop by the table at first, but was very attentive after that. It was very loud, but with hard surfaces all around it would be hard to be more quiet. .

We had Friendsmas and Mi Cocina was the best decision. The food, drinks, and services were great. One of our friends got sick and the hostess brought paper towels and was there to assist. We had a wonderful time!
