Lunch at Cocina Mexican Restaurant was tasty. We were greeted with delicious, light and crispy chips and salsa. I ordered a passionfruit margarita on the rocks, very good. I had lunch fajitas which were very tasty, this plate came with rice, beans, sour cream, guacamole, lettuce and tomatoes. The service was great. Nice ambiance. First of many more visits. Lots of great margaritas to choose from. Dine at the bar, regular sitting area or outdoors. read more

We stopped by this restaurant while shopping at the outlet, and I have to say the atmosphere was the highlight of our visit. It was colorful, welcoming, and pleasant, the staff were friendly and attentive, and our food arrived hot. Unfortunately, that's where the positives ended. I ordered the chicken fajitas, expecting a generous serving of chicken. Instead, there were only a few thin strips of grilled chicken, while the sizzling platter was mostly onions and green peppers. It was very disappointing for the price. A family member ordered the spicy bowl, and it was even more disappointing. The presentation and overall appearance were very unappetizing. Even after taking the leftovers home, hoping we could improve the flavor, it still looked and tasted disappointing. It simply wasn't something we enjoyed. Overall, the food did not meet our expectations and was not worth the money. While the atmosphere and service were good, the quality and value of the food fell far short. Sadly, I won't be returning, and based on my experience, I can't recommend this restaurant. read more

Checked out Pooler's newest Mexican restaurant and there were a few hits and misses. The esthetic of the restaurant is bright, clean, and very trendy. We arrived around 8:15pm so the dinner rush was over. A couple came in right behind us and sat at the bar and there was only one other table in use while we were there. I saw a few people come in to pickup carry-out orders. The service was lacking greatly. The staff was friendly but it was hard to keep refills for drinks and chips. The queso was delicious, chips were thin and crispy, and the salsa had some spice to it. The Chicken Chimichangas with a side of rice and refried beans was delicious. Would definitely order again. The Texas Fajitas we ordered without the vegetables. The meat was overcooked to the point of charred and only came with approximately 3 quarter sized shrimp - a bit of a disappointment. The Barbecue Fajitas said that it was cooked in a "house barbecue sauce" but was very reminiscent of Sweet Baby Rays. Very tasty! La Parrillada for Two had good seasoning, beef heavy, and fell short with shrimp as well. The kids Cheese Quesadilla - home run!!! One comment from the kids were that the beans were hot, as in temperature. They said that they had never had refried beans that were at a hot temperature!!! With that, the food was served quickly and was hot. We were celebrating so decided to order the Churros and the Flan. The menu stated that the churros were filled with caramel but there was definitely a strawberry filling as well. Still good but unexpected. The flan was a good and standard Mexican flan. I would definitely return. Portions were great! Flavor was there. Just need more shrimp and more attentive service. read more

WOW!!!! I'm still dreaming about my lunch I had here. I had no idea this was over here until I saw them on Instagram and saw their frozen drinks and I knew I had to try it! The location is kinda hidden I was confused when I saw their Starbucks but they are in the middle. The staff is so warm and welcoming I couldn't stop smiling they were telling jokes and making sure you were welcomed. I felt so bad since I spilled my drink and they immediately came and cleaned it up and I kept saying "I'm so sorry" and even offered me a job when I took the rag to clean up my mess. The manager who waited on me was so nice and helped me pick my lunch. He got me a flight of the frozen drinks so I could try them all. Man! The frozen drinks were AMAZING! They definitely have alcohol in them but the flavors of each one was so different and so fresh and refreshing! I also had the blueberry drink out of the cute purse (which of course came home with me) for lunch the manager recommended a special item that's not even on the menu yet but will be. He said it's " quesadilla tacos" it was absolutely delicious there isn't enough words for me to describe how amazing everything was here and I can't wait to come back and try more items! read more

I tried Cocina's recently for my birthday after seeing people post about the viral frozen margarita. Unfortunately, the machine was down so I wasn't able to try it. Instantly as we walked in it took a while to be seated, even though they weren't super busy. When we sat down we had to request the table to be cleaned up as it was still dirty. Overtime it got busy and you could notice they were very short staffed, as our waitress was acting as hostess and waitress. Overall the food and drinks were decent, they just need more staff and the experience could have been better. read more

From the moment we walked in until the moment we left, this was by far the best restaurant experience I've had in a long time! Our server, Angelica, had such a bubbly personality that was absolutely infectious. She genuinely enjoys her job, and it shows! If Angelica recommends something, get it! She did not steer us wrong. The soft-serve margaritas is an absolute must-have. Not only was the presentation amazing, but the margarita itself was top-notch. The music choice was on point, the food was fantastic, the atmosphere was great, and the service was exceptional. Everything came together perfectly. What a great way to destress after a hard day of work. We left happy, relaxed, and already looking forward to coming back. If your looking for a great experience, I highly recommend this place - and be sure to ask for Angelica! read more

The restaurant was nice looking, the service was good, the food, not so much. Very bland chicken with very little seasoning. The empanada was well made but again very little seasoning. Yes they have dipping sauces but the food should stand on its own. If it needs sauce add it in the cook. Nice place, great staff, food below average. read more

Food was ok. The complimentary chips were good. The tacos were okay. I ordered a mojito and margarita. Those were good. I like everything but the prices. $72 for 6 tacos and 3 drinks. read more

Today Jordan, the kids, his parents and I went to celebrate Jordan's birthday at Cocina Mexican Restaurant and we all had a great time. The food was absolutely delicious from start to finish. I got the Texas Fajitas, Jordan's parents shared the Parrillada for two, Olivia had the quesadilla, and Joel ordered fajitas with chorizo. Everything was flavorful, fresh, and served in great portions. The restaurant is also very nicely decorated and the Mexican music playing in the background created a fun and welcoming atmosphere. It made the whole birthday celebration feel even more special. Definitely a great spot for family dinners and celebrations! read more

We have been here at least 3 times in the past month. We keep coming back because the food and drinks are always sooo good!! They make THE best mojitos! We've had their chicken enchiladas, carne asada tacos and arroz texano. Everything has been fresh and taste great. Service is always quick and friendly as well. This has become our favorite spot and we're VERY picky about our Mexican food. If you're looking for authentic, fresh Mexican food - then this is the spot. Oh also, the tortilla chips are made fresh and are always warm when delivered to the table! read more

The food was wonderful and the service was great! We will be back and I hope you all give them a visit too!

Restaurant decor was nice, the space was clean. Upon receiving the menu, I was instantly concerned, I believe there are over 100 items on there. I feel with a menu that large, it is impossible to make everything great, which is what I found with the food. The food was just ok, but I have a feeling the shrimp may have been previously cooked, frozen, then reheated, they had a strange texture to them. This is the first time I can remember my wife and I not eating all the shrimp on our plates. If they were fresh, they didn't taste like it. The service was just fine, the space was fine, but the food was lacking. read more

What a treasure! We stopped by late during the weeknight. From our first step in - it was so wonderful. Chips & salsa arrived very quickly and wow what a treat. Each dinner was different and spot on delish with large portions. Our waitress was friendly & attentive. We would be here weekly but we live in Texas. Authentic Delish Mexican food. Enjoy! read more
