The restaurant is always clean, and the atmosphere is comfortable with music playing at a good volume. It is a big improvement from the days when the music was blasting under the previous owners. The food is flavorful without relying on heavy spice. The chilaquiles are very good, the steak is cooked just right, and the Jamaica tastes fresh and homemade rather than coming from a powder. The black beans might be some of the best I have ever had, and they are consistently delicious every visit. La Cocina Grill is reliable, tasty, and well run. The combination of great service, clean surroundings, good food, and a friendly environment makes it one of the best spots to enjoy a meal in Banning

I didn't want to skimp on taste, or authentic flavors. This was our first time entering La Cocina Grill. We were immediately greeted by Janet, she was very warm and welcoming. As I often say, it's that first impression that does it for us. We were able to choose our own seating. Opened space seating with gorgeous art work on the walls. Wheel chair accessible, not crowded or confined. I normally enjoy chili that can burn your soul. However, what they lacked in heat, they far surpassed on flavor. Besides with my diet changes heat is not something I should be eating at this time :) So this restaurant was definitely what my body needed. {IMPORTANT} a semi hotter chili available upon request. My spouse enjoyed the vegetable omelet however, did not enjoy the French fries that came with it, would have rather had either Spanish rice or potatoes, the plate did include black beans which were super delicious. My spouse did truly enjoy the food tremendously. I ordered the spinach and mushroom vegetable enchilada plate which I too requested the black beans, it also included Spanish rice. Although, it was missing avocado slices, my personal favorite, and also a suggestion it would have been more amazing. I must state this dish did not lack in flavor, presentation and overall deliciousness. I will definitely will be ordering this dish again. Yes!, I promise it was that good. Opened Tuesday thru Sunday 10 am to 8 pm~ I learned they also feature a... Taco Tuesday, every Tuesday of course :) Wednesday is 30% off for seniors, and Thursday is Happy Hour all day. Thursdays Fajita night $14.95 I absolutely highly recommend you stop in and review it for yourself. I promise you wont be disappointed. COMPLIMENTS TO THE CHEF *****

Overall, 4.73 As a…read morefairly new taco connoisseur, I am well pleased. I found this place. The shrimp tacos were very delicious. I would say at least a 4.9 the fish taco 4.3. I think they had just open for the day, but the food was perfect temperature and well done. Everything was perfect. The corn Asada taco probably was my favorite. It was really juicy meat and flavorful one of the best Carne Asada tacos I've had. The service was pleasant pool and typical of a food vendor truck. They managed the line and it's Mike the service went by OK. It's a street fender so as far as the ambience goes, I mean it is what it is, but I didn't come here for that. I came here for the tacos and it did not disappoint. Extremely happy and glad they are a Christian ran business. I definitely like supporting my vocal businesses

The birria is super tender and imparts every ramen noodle with so much flavor. It's very oily but did not feel overwhelming. Everything else was good too. The horchata agua fresca was not watery or too sweet; I could taste the rice. The loaded fries are great, the burritos and tacos as well. The plain nachos we good too but not as good as everything else. Lots of food for the price. Lots of space and sauces on each table. They were out of hot water unfortunately. The service was great with the waiter coming to ask if we needed anything several times. The walls are filled with pretty decorations and Bible verses; I feel like I'm in Mexico or Spain. They have a drive thru which was quite a surprise; I feel like in person dining has to be the way to go.

Heading back to LA, we decided to grab breakfast before the long drive…read more We chose this spot based on my partner's memories he used to come here often as a young adult on his way to tournaments, so it felt a bit nostalgic for him. When we arrived, the place felt small and intimate, which gave it a cozy vibe. I ordered the chile verde burrito, and my partner had a torta. The burrito, in my opinion, needed a bit more salt it came across a little bland. The torta was okay as well, but nothing really stood out. Overall, the food was decent, just not particularly memorable, especially considering it was slightly pricier than expected. What really stood out, though, was the service. Our server was incredibly kind and friendly. She even offered to bring our food to the table, which didn't seem to be their usual process. It appeared that guests typically order at the counter and pick up their food themselves, but she went out of her way to take our order tableside and deliver it to us. That level of attentiveness was definitely appreciated. Parking is pretty limited since the location sits on the corner of a main street, so you're probably better off finding street parking nearby.

It's not bad, it just lost some of what made it stand out. The food is still really solid though, which is why I keep coming back. The aguachile is one of the best things on the menu, super fresh with a good kick, and the tacos are consistently done right. Simple, clean, and you know what you're getting every time. It's a nice sit-down restaurant if you want to actually relax and eat instead of rushing through a meal. Service is usually solid even when it's busy. Fair warning, it gets packed after church and the wait can build up quick, so timing matters if you don't want to sit around. Not the same as it used to be, but still worth it for the food.

Price was 25.99 but smaller options available along with choice of white fish instead of shrimp. The coldest beer is advertised and it was. 5 dollars off during Happy Hour.

It's the same crew I believe from the previous iteration, just a new name and marketing campaign! The food is just as tasty as i remember. Beaumont and Banning locals love to visit for good eats and a baseball game! The signature beans at this restaurant are delicious! There's a learning curve happening at Dora's, new staff are joining the party and they're adjusting to their new surroundings. As a result, don't be surprised if they slightly mess up an order. One member of my party got the wrong item during dinner. Personally, I thought the restaurant was super hot. There's no AC and the door was closed so it felt extra warm. Thankfully, the service made up for this as the restaurant staff had excellent customer service. We were immediately acknowledged when we arrived and departed. I'll definitely return! Recommendations: Chicken Enchilada Plate w/ beans (of course).
