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.

The food was honestly a hard 5 out of 10. The beans and chips were very good, but that was the highlight. It was just my husband and me: I got one shredded beef taco with a side of beans, he got three tacos, and we had two drinks total. The bill came out to $33 and some change, which just didn't feel worth it for the quality. I really wish it lived up to the Tacos & Beer I remember. Even the ambiance wasn't as vibrant as it used to be.

The tortilla not very crunchy and very little lettuce, cheese and tomato. The chips were stale and the salsa tasted like it came out of a can. I was very disappointed. This restaurant was definitely intended to accommodate the Caucasian demographic of which I am not. I am Mexican and definitely know what Mexican food should taste like. This isn't it! They should rename the restaurant or get cooks that make Mexican food the way it should be cooked. I was very disappointed. I will never go back. If you're Mexican do not come here! You'll be sadly disappointed.

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 *****

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).

So to me, this wasn't as spicy as she said it was going to be. The dish was very good, although I've never had it before I would definitely order it again.
