Cocina Mexicana Restaurant

Let's start by saying, I have never seen another customer here. I think I am the only one who eats here. The waitress says they get super busy and have karaoke on the weekend, I went at what would be peak time. Still saw nobody but the staff. This is not a bad thing, it makes me feel special like it's my own hidden gem. I love the plate that has the steak, enchilada, and chili rellano. Also their salsa is fantastic, they really season it well so it is fresh and garlicky. Yum!

Staff was amazing. The guy who helped us was very friendly. They had a backdrop for 2023 and they said we could take pictures. They even offered to take pictures. The food was very good. I've had chicken mole at other places and this one was my favorite. The meat was shredded.

I ordered the pollo plate, and it was one of the most disappointing meals I’ve had in a long time. The chicken was supposed to be grilled, but it came out dry, flavorless, and oddly tough, almost like it had been reheated instead of freshly cooked. There was no seasoning, no char, no real taste at all — just bland, rubbery chicken. The rice was mushy and bland, while the beans were thin and watery with zero flavor. I definitely wouldn’t recommend this place!!!!!

We went for lunch and the food was great, so was the service. Can't go wrong with the steak fajitas.

This is a great hidden gem with good vibes and ambiance, just a little off the beaten path of 38th Street chain restaurants. Great customer service and we had one of the most incredible fresh Jalapeño Margarita's on our second visit, thanks to our wonderful waitress who accommodated our request. We shared a steak fajitas and a chille relleno. Food is good, haven't had anything too spectacular yet but we're going to keep trying. On my prior visit we tried their Morena specialty the 'Pina Rellena de Camaron'. I have had similar dishes before and loved them. This one was just DROWNED in queso. Toooooo much cheese. I scoped it out and let it sit on the plate (about 2 cups full, no joke) and yet the pineapple, veggies, and shrimp were seasoned and spectacular. I might attempt it again with n
