    One of my all time favorite places to eat on the south side of OKC. Very respectful waiters/waitresses and the food is always fresh and full of taste. Most of all they take care of their first responders and the environment is very inviting. 10/10 would recommend every single time if you catch yourself on Western.

    Huge props to Cocino De Mino for the decor!! I absolutely love the interior. The walls are painted, they've got plants all over - and all in all just very vibrant. They give you free chips and salsa, as well as tortillas to go around. Their chips are alright, but those tortillas...were the absolute most softest, tortillas you'll ever have. Nice and warm in the little container, and even with just salsa and queso, was just the perfect little treat. Service here was alright - only bump we had was that the waitress accidentally switched the plates that was meant for my boyfriend and gave it to his dad. Which was fine, accidents happen. The food was pretty good too! I had the carne asada and the meat was cooked very well. It was served next to potatoes slathered in cheese, beans, guac, sour cream, and pico de gallo. The potatoes were a slight unusual pairing to carne asada, but it wasn't an unpleasant one for sure. Everyone else at the table had some enchiladas, which according to them was pretty great as well. The rice was cooked well, seasoned wonderfully, beans too! Only thing I'd comment on would just be the salsa which was a bit too watery. And the guac was I think just mashed avocado, with nothing else. However - everything else was good, we'll definitely be coming back!

    We have been eating at Cocina de Mino for many years. Our first visit in the 1980s was in their old location off N. May Avenue (which later became Ted's). Since 2001, we tend to go to the location on South Western, including today. lunch specials are available until 4 PM. And their food is always so good! Call us happy customers!

    Fajitas. Cold. No sizzle.
    Kristi S.

    Going down hill.. our food came practically as soon as we ordered it. Fajitas are supposed to sizzle, aren't they?? No sizzle, room temperature . Guacamole had no chunks.... like one of those " just add water" mixes and I've had far better tortillas bought at the store. Just not very good.

Ambiance: Very loud live music and chaotic in general. More chaotic than a standard Mexican restaurant. One visit, tacos were being cooked outside on a Santa Maria style grill. Food: Birria Tacos are the best thing on the menu. Cheesy, juicy, and packed with flavor. Topped with cilantro and wonderful consommé. The white sauce is a great addition as well as the green sauce. The Pin Wheels are not the best for the salsa. The salsa is mediocre and also spicy. The Surf and Turf Quesadillas are cheesy and packed with meat. The same meal as a burrito is good, but not preferred over the quesadillas. The Ceviche is out of this world. A heaping portion of perfectly citrus and not too fishy. The only meal that was not good was the Marlin Quesadilla. It was too fishy and tasted like fishy BBQ.

We didn't get photos of all of our food, but everything we tried was really enjoyable. The service was attentive, and our waitress was very patient with us as first-timers, I had a few questions about how some of the menu items were prepared, and she was happy to help. Nice use of space isn't as it's not the largest restaurant- there's a bar area, then a layout of tables and booths that would work great for large groups. Will return again the next time we're in OKC area to grab a patio seat.

There were plenty of tables and places to sit. The hostess got us to a table and we sat and ordered our food and talked and caught up. There was this guy I can only assume he must've been a manager, he kept hovering over our table, making sure our drinks were filled even after we had got through eating and just kept hovering like he was waiting for us to leave. I looked around the restaurant and there were plenty of tables that were empty. So I don't understand why he was hovering over us and trying to rush us out of the restaurant. It was probably the worst experience I've ever had at this restaurant. I don't know if he was just racist or if he was just being an asshole, but either way if someone comes in to pay for a meal and is sitting down and talking in the restaurant isn't busy. I don't see why there's a reason for you to turn around and try and force people out. To say the whole experience turned me off and I will probably not go back to this restaurant for a while.

    La Herencia was a decent experience. We were looking for a sit down restaurant this time instead of…read moreour typical Mexican food truck run. It was very busy when we walked in but there was no wait. We were thankfully seated immediately and started off with chips and salsa. The chips were nice and crispy, but the salsa was mediocre. The tomatoes tasted canned. While I can totally get the efficiency behind using canned tomatoes for a busy restaurant, the taste is not preferred. The kids chicken quesadilla plate was a good amount of food! I just wish the quesadilla was already sliced as it was for our 3 year old. The chicken was also bland. Again, the portions were great. My son ordered the Burrito La Herencia with ground beef and this was seasoned well. Again, great portions of beans, rice & main dish. No complaints with this one! My spouse ordered the La Herencia fajita special and felt as if it was lacking. The steak pieces were minuscule and the shrimp was bland and undercooked. The pork chop was thinly sliced which was nice but VERY salty. We were wishing for more peppers and onions as well. Overall this dish was salty, but tolerable! It came with a side plate of rice, beans, pico de gallo, guac, sour cream & lettuce. Served with flour tortillas. We ordered the queso & guac while we were looking at the menu and waiting. I personally did not enjoy the queso. It was thick and had an artificial mouth feel. The guac was decent! Bland overall but I love the taste of avocado. I wish it had more lime and seasoning though since it was supposed to be Guacamole and not avocado dip. I ordered the Steak Mexicano with extra jalapeños and this was very good. Still on the salty side but I enjoy things on a SLIGHTLY saltier range. My spouse thought the steak was TOO salty. The peppers, onions, and tomatoes were nicely sautéed and seasoned. The rice here is also DELICIOUS. I hate a bland Mexican rice. The beans were good too but nothing to write home about. I do wish I was offered a side of corn tortillas. Overall this experience was okay! Not the worst but definitely not the best. The restaurant was beautifully decorated but there was a noticeable lack of music. We were sat listening to the chatter of all the different customers and kitchen noises. We did have the option of booth or table AND they have boosters seats/ high chairs upon request.
