La Cocina Mexican Restaurant Garner #6

What a wonderful experience, to refresh ourselves with a meal after the matinee next door. The waiter was charming and the food brought out within a couple of minutes! Good attentive service! Santa (and the Grinch) were in attendance, and the place was hopping!

The food came out extremely fast, this tells me that the food we ordered was pre-prepared. It was still very good, and the chicken was in completely dry or anything. The flavor on it was just fine. Could have been a little moisture, but was not completely dried out. Tasted fine. The chips and salsa were very delicious. The salsa was very nice. Prices on everything we're okay. A little higher than I would like, but at least the portion size matched some of the price. The waitress took a little while to get attention to get the check to leave. She was kind of goofing off with some of the other workers in the front. Had to waiver down several times before she finally noticed so I can get the check and a box. Has a nice looking bar area, I will have to remove one star because they do not offer

I had the Texas Fajitas lunch portion, my drink was an agua de Jamaica (Hibiscus iced tea). The portion was a pretty good size and the food was delicious, the staff is always friendly and the restaurant is clean.

My family tried to enjoy dinner here. We went in and were seated promptly, we asked for a high chair and had to stand waiting for one until what appeared to be a manager noticed us and brought one. The high chair was broken, and they didn’t have any others. I would have loved to eat here but I couldn’t because of this, my toddler would climb out of the chair. Not really kid friendly.

WOW Cinco de Mayo! The place was packed tonight. About a 15 minute wait, as I approached the front door I figured it would be a much longer wait. The bar was set up in the outdoor patio serving awesome margaritas. Celvin and his staff kept everything moving smoothly, from the hostess, bar tenders, servers, food runners... they handled it just like an ordinary night. If you want the best Mexican food in the area, with the greatest staff, you will NOT be disappointed. The drinks, food and service are top notch. We've been coming here since they first opened in the early 2000's. This place never disappoints. Do yourself a favor and stop on in.
