    Camarones La Cocina
    Haley B.

    Second time coming here and I enjoyed it a lot more than the first time. This time I ended up ordering the Camarones La Cocina, a shrimp bowl with rice, lettuce, tomato, onion, pico, and tortillas, and it was great! I wish it came with sour cream or guacamole as it was a little dry, but besides that it was delicious. The serving size was pretty big so I had to grab a box. This dish was a little pricey in comparison to other Mexican restaurants in the area. Service was okay, at the end of my visit my table had to wait a while to pay for our food as staff kept passing by even though we were the only people trying to pay. Overall I like this place and I'll be back but there are still better options for Mexican in the Smithfield area.

    Food wasnt good, very bland and awful. I order ACP, thick pieces of chicken, looked like chicken was boiled and had the broth in my food. I would personally never come again or recommend.

    Service was fast and friendly. The food was excellent, we had the fajitas for two and it could have been fajitas for four! The portion was huge, warm and delicious. We both had margaritas and they were very good.

    Salsa had no flavor and was charged $1.50 for it. Sent it back but they had no concern it had no flavor. Chips old!

    Horrible food and customer service this evening. They would benefit from training the staff in customer service.

    The only saving grace was we had good service and a good drink. The food was absolutely awful, and there were flies all over the place.

    The pickup order was wrong. Appears management isn't what it used to be...the way of the world right now. So sad.

    Iss ight...chicken was dry. Buying sides with a meal was a little extra. The drink are worth it though.

    Have seen this business on social media for a while and decided to give it a try because we were in…read morethe area. The mini mart is located near downtown Selma. I won't lie, it was a little off putting when we pulled up - we were expecting something else I guess. However, it's a small town convenience store - the one where you can get hot food and your snacks all in one place. Where the customers might be a little strange looking but hey it's small town living (IYKYK). The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. We placed our order of: Steak Hibachi with noodles with extra meat (plate sauced) Philly cheese egg roll Chicken and Veggie egg roll Totaling about $34 Won't lie, the price was a shocking - but hey their price is their price. They do have different prices for those that pay with a card and those that pay cash (something to keep in mind). Once our order was placed, it took about 10 mins and they brought our order to the car. The food was piping hot and overall good. Have we had better? Yes. Have we had worse? Yes. But for you have hibachi in Selma?! Give it a try if you're in the area and looking for something different.

    Amazing and fresh hibachi food! They have really cool menu that combines fusion with Mexican food…read more They also have a large coffee/tea menu as well. I got a matcha latte, and hibachi chicken and both of those were delicious! The owners and staff are also super nice and provide great service. I'll def be back!
