    Veggie quesadilla (cheese, spinach, mushrooms, tomatoes - I left off the onions and peppers)
    Cindy A.

    A wonderful experience tonight at La Cocina! What was so good? - friendly, fast service - welcoming atmosphere - crisp, light chips - creamy cheese dip - large menu (something for everyone) - healthy portions (if you leave hungry - your fault) - got my special order right - hot, delicious food! - reasonable prices Will I come back? You bet!

    Hello, just thought I'd let you know we come to this restaurant. Very seldom reason why we're never thrilled when we leave. The meal that we had was a 3 out of a 1 to 5 rating. The service was great young lady took care of his pretty well and we didn't have to look for too much. We were checked on regular, which was good better than last time. The ambience is the same as it has been for years. They haven't changed it at all. They do, however, have live music on Fridays and Saturdays it looks like. If you just wanna drink and some snacks, it's perfect.

    Hole in the wall Mexican places are always the best, and this place serves up great hole in the wall Mexican! Located in the Publix shopping center and hidden on the far left side, you'll find this hole. My girlfriend is a fan of this place so we've been here twice already. Love the atmosphere and seating options, and the nice little bar in front. They also have outdoor seating. My girlfriend claims they serve up the coldest beer, and while it's cold bud lite, it's pretty cold. The cheese dip here is pretty good and so is the salsa. Loved their street tacos, which I would highly suggest. The only downfall is pricing is a little more than I'd normally pay and the street tacos don't come with a side. Don't need to add too much more, other than saying this will hit your Mexican fix. Haven't tried the margaritas yet, but that'll happen for sure in the next few months. No issues either here with service. Keep in mind that most patrons out this way aren't really wearing masks, which is no bueno. I do recommend this spot!

    Our second visit to Rico's was quite a bit better than our inaugural visit just last summer…read more This time around we sat out on the patio which is definitely the move here. Much more open, better vibe and there is also an outdoor bar. We were greeted quickly by a very friendly waitress and given menus. We ordered drinks and they came out pretty quick. Throughout the time we spent for dinner we were checked on frequently not only by our waitress but also by other staff passing by. The food was what you would expect from an Americanized Mexican restaurant. Decent size portions that were fair to the menu pricing. Everything was prepared well and tasted fresh. I very much enjoyed the salsa that came out right away. It actually had a decent amount of heat to it. By far some of the better salsa I've had at a Mexican restaurant. We also ordered margaritas and they were excellent. Be warned, the skinny margarita is a whopping $6 more than the standard house marg making it $16! Not sure why but it is and you've been warned. I will say, it was damn good though. But for a $6 savings I would just get the regular. IG: danny_fuelstherun

Had a #6 (taco and enchilada). The taco came in a separate dish (okay) but fell apart when I tried to pick it up. I've eaten Mexican food for 50 years and this was the worst I've ever had (not kidding). The enchilada was cheese and there was plenty but it was about as dry as it could be. A little sauce would have definitely helped. The server was very attentive on the front end. When we were done, I had to flag the manager for our checks. He got right on it but 10 minutes later we were still sitting there, waiting to pay. I had to flag the manager down again. This was unacceptable. Even with 3 stars, I would never eat here again.

The restaurant is inside an old house with a massive wrap around porch featuring plenty of covered outdoor seating. As we walked to the hostess stand we noticed a sign stating they lost their liquor license. This was a massive let down as I was excited for a margarita. We almost left but decided to give it a shot. Inside was a pretty standard Mexican restaurant decor. The place was clean and looked to be well kept. Our server didn't seem too excited about life and was a bit slow and unenthusiastic. Brought our chips and salsa pretty quick and took our drink order. When he came back with our waters and soda we placed our food order. I wanted a Carne Asada which I was told is actually no longer available. This is completely bonkers to me. A staple dish at any Mexican restaurant. So I ordered something else that has skirt steak in it. Super confusing how they couldn't do that particular dish. Overall the food we ordered was actually really good. Prepared well and full of flavor. Nice size portion. Unfortunately the lack of service and margaritas really makes it tough to return. Follow me on IG: danny_runsforbeer
