    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.

    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.

    We enjoyed our dining experience. Cocktails were great! Service wasn’t the best but it wouldn’t keep us from going back.

    Margaritas were very good but the grouper fish tacos were disappointing… one small piece of fish and it wasn’t very fresh. My companion had the redfish tacos and equally disappointing.
