I'm completely obsessed with all their tacos I've had...they make the corn tortillas for them to order from fresh masa! The Melissa burrito has become a staple for me even tho I try to avoid burritos. The chile relleno in that burrito mixed with everything is so good, perfectly roasted with rich melted cheese. The food is all flavorful, especially all their homemade salsas. If you like it hot, get a salsa flight and try them all, you won't be disappointed. The family who runs Cocina is amazing as well, great people and attentive service. You can tell they care a lot about their food and their customers, much appreciated. I'd recommend calling ahead for to go orders, they will be very clear when it will be ready for pickup. If you're not in a rush, nice eating there especially the outdoor seating by the golf course on a dry day.

You could seat yourself and they come and bring chips and two salsas. One is mild and the other a little more spicier. We got the margarita flight and it comes with four good sized sampler margaritas. They chose the three and we got to pick the last. It came with Jamaica, Tamarind, and Guava. We chose the pineapple as the last. We got the dinner plates that come with soup. They were small but fully loaded. We got the albondigas and pozole. Both were very good and the pozole had a good spicy kick to it. The plates of food were big and all very flavorful and hot. The carne asada maybe needed a little bit more seasoning and the chile verde needed a little bit more spice but overall the food was very good. We got flour tortillas and they were huge and enough to finish the plate.

We've been back a few more times since my last review so I figured I'd update since I have some…read morepictures this time. I'm still all about the chile relleno burrito so the last time we went I ordered one with carne asada and it was literally the burrito of my dreams. This time when we went inside I noticed a hand written sign above the cash register that said "The Raliberto" which was basically my chile relleno burrito plus carne asada, so I ordered it. I cut it in half, took a picture this time and noticed it wasn't the same, it had cheddar cheese instead of that delicious white cheese the relleno comes with, and I don't think the poblano was battered and fried, it was just a plain pepper that was stuffed with cheese- it was still very tasty just not the burrito of my dreams. I'm thinking since it was a special, they may have run out of the regular rellenos or perhaps they were cutting costs but next time I'll just stick with the regular chile relleno burrito. We also picked up an order of their other special, carne asada rolled tacos, which definitely don't need the added carne asada because guacamole is all them tasty suckers need but we snarfed it all down. I don't know when we'll be driving through again but this is a really solid spot that I'll always think of fondly.

They also have Guatemalan items for sale over at the register. I decided to go for the garnachas, which is a Guatemalan street food, similar to a sope. These were like little mini sopes. . The corn masa cake base was delicious, and it was not over fried. The ground beef was seasoned very well, the veggies gave it a nice pop of freshness. The cheese was great, and I especially loved the sauce. The sauce just brought it all together. There was a little pile of jalapeño, onion, and carrot in the middle. I didn't touch the jalapeño. I tried the carrot and the onion, but they were too spicy for me. Not a big deal. It was a nice lite lunch, and with soda, tax and tip, the price was very reasonable. I definitely want to come back and try more items off of this menu. Thank you.
