Best Mexican Restaurant!!! Excellent prices and Service Highly recommended!!! If you are driving from west coast to Chicago, you have to eat here!!! read more

The service was quick and swift. It was very busy for a lunch hour when i visited which was an encouraging sign. Classic Mexican restaurant environment with fun decorations. The tacos locos were delicious and I did enjoy the steak, beans, and rice. I enjoyed the main course but the chips were very stale. I am still rating 5/5 as I'm sure it was just a bad batch. Enjoyed the visit and will be back. read more

Ordered for it to be delivered in my hotel and was underwhelmed by the size or portion for the price. Paid $13.80 for a fajita nachos and there's literally one thin layer of nachos beef and maybe a third of one pepper and some onions. read more

La Cocina Mexican Restaurant - Fajita nachos, taste good just not enough of it. Tire thing weighs about a third of a pound maybe less. - Mexican Near Me - York, Nebraska

Fantastic margaritas and chips and salsa. What a gem of a place, glad we stopped by on our way through York!

Food and service were excellent! Would recommend trying La Cocina in York Ne . Staff very friendly service is fast . Portions of food grand you may need a take home container ! Well worth checking it out ! read more

The best thing about this place was the service, hands down. The cheese dip was the best food by far. The burrito and enchilada combination was interesting to say the least. The burrito, if that's what we are calling it, was ground beef rolled up in a flour tortilla and covered in canned enchilada sauce. The rice had some pretty hard pieces for being old, or microwaved. I'm from out of state and have had Mexican food from border states and in Mexico. I will admit, this was exactly how I imagined Mexican food would be in Nebraska..... so I kind of deserved it. The three stars was for the service and cheese dip by the way. read more

La Cocinas is truly a hidden gem and easily one of the best Mexican restaurants I've ever been to. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with warm smiles and the comforting aroma of authentic Mexican cooking. The atmosphere is colorful and inviting, with a cozy, family-friendly vibe that makes you feel right at home. The menu offers a great variety of options, and everything we ordered was absolutely phenomenal. The chips and salsa came out fresh--crispy chips paired with a salsa that had just the right blend of spice and flavor. I ordered the carne asada tacos, and they were perfection--tender, juicy meat with fresh toppings and homemade tortillas that tasted like they were made just minutes before hitting the plate. The rice and beans on the side were equally impressive--flavorful, well-seasoned, and clearly made with care. My friends ordered enchiladas and a chimichanga, and not a single bite was left on the table. Everyone kept commenting on how fresh everything tasted and how generous the portion sizes were. You really feel like you're getting a home-cooked meal here, made with love. The service deserves just as much praise. Our server was friendly, attentive, and quick to refill drinks or check in without being pushy. You could tell the staff cared about giving us a good experience. The food came out quickly and hot, and we never felt rushed, even though the place was busy--which is always a good sign. La Cocinas is the kind of place you want to keep coming back to. Whether you're looking for a casual dinner spot, a family meal, or somewhere to impress out-of-town guests with real Mexican flavor, this is the place to go. Great food, great service, great atmosphere--it checks every box. I can't recommend it enough. read more

Best food in York!! Always good service, super yummy food and the margaritas are top notch. 100% recommend!

I have no idea how this place has anything over barely two stars let alone four and a half so there is some b******* here. Let's go through this detail by detail. I came here very hungry and during a slow particular time of day in the middle of the afternoon. I ordered a variety of things off the menu just to see how things went. First of all it took an extraordinary amount of time just to make a simple standard Tex-Mex plate. I know this because I had basically eating the entire bowl of chips which I don't usually do because I don't normally like those anyway. Then they brought the food out and didn't even refill my drink oh and I might mention the food wasn't even really warm! The cheese wasn't even melted. From here it gets worse because everything was made from the same generic beef mixture so it was just the same crap wrapped in a different tortilla and I swear one of those was stale as hell. I might mention also that it took so long to get the food that I had to get up and take a bathroom break and when I did I found the most disgusting bathroom I've seen this side of a bad part of town gas station. I will not fall to restaurant for having out of date plumbing because maybe it's not their place and it's not within their lease to correct it, this was not that. This bathroom was filthy and there was garbage on the floor and it was just nasty. I had to go looking for my server to get checked out too so from end to end this was a disappointment in a basket and I just hope I don't have to spend the rest of my night on the toilet but at least it won't be this toilet. read more

Delicious Tex-Mex, solid service, very reasonable prices and excellent Margaritas--a great find in York thanks to the Yelp community!

There wasn't much to pick from in terms of non-fast food choices in the small town of York but the hotel concierges highly recommended this place. Even though the place was packed on a Thursday night, the service was courteous and the food arrived within 15 minutes of ordering. read more

La Cocina Mexican Restaurant - Quesadilla Hawaiana - Mexican Near Me - York, Nebraska

One Of the best Mexican restaurants I have ever eaten at. Everything was super delicious. Staff was attentive and friendly. Food was served quickly and piping hot. Chips and the most flavorful salsa ever. This is definitely the best restaurant in town. read more

Visiting from Houston; the food and Margarita here are phenomenal. We eat a lot of both Tex Mex and interior Mexico food where we live, and feel like we have a very stern measure of food in general - Houston being the culinary capital of the south - but especially Mexican food. I am also a former chef instructor, and my family owned restaurants when I was growing up. Hard to impress me, but this place did. Kudos to La Cocina for rocking this level of homemade Mexican food in NE of all places. Excellent job! read more

Passing through on our way to SD. Being from TX, my expectations for Mexican food in NE were not high; however, this place was good! Standard Tex-Mex, but everything was well prepared and tasty. Service was great - looks like a family run place that cares about their restaurant. What a nice surprise! read more

Great, friendly and fast service. Food is delicious and quite generous for the price. It is usually packed on weekend evenings, but definitely worth the wait. Carry out is always a great alternative! read more

This must be one of the go to restaurants in York, Nebraska as it was very busy. The decor was decent and we were seated fast. Free tortilla chips and salsa which was nice. We ordered their cheese dip. The cheese dip was really good but lumpy as all the cheese had not melted. It was still very good and ate it all up lumps and all. I had the chicken fajitas, my wife and older daughter had a combination #1, and our youngest daughter had children's taco meal. Not a lot of flavor but we were starving. Most everyone's meal came out quickly. The fajitas came out in stages, first the fixings, then the chicken. They forgot the tortillas which came about 5 minutes later. Waitress was nice, food was good and for the most part served us quickly. I was surprised how lax the staff and patrons were about wearing a mask or other precautions due to COVID. The price relatively inexpensive for what you get. Really good value. Their front entry was a little hectic with people waiting for take out, people waiting to be seated and people waiting to pay for their bill. Overall it was a good experience and we will come back again. read more

We decided to come to this place because of its rating. Apparently they lack Mexican restaurants in the area and don't have much to compare it to. I'm not impressed. Whoever said the guacamole was the best they'd ever had, hasn't had mine The margaritas were fair. I will not be back to this place. The staff wasn't all that friendly and she never came back to check on us. You people need to get out more! read more

Found this gem passing through York on a road trip. Service was friendly and efficient. Very good Tex Mex, something for everyone, healthy portions, and reasonable cost. Only minor downside is having to drive off the main road to get to old downtown but it's well worth it. One of the best meals on our entire trip. Would stop again without hesitation. read more

Great Mexican at a very good price! The salsa for the appetizer could use more flavor, but other than that, it was really good! They have a lot of menu options that are unique. The white cheese sauce on the burritos was excellent. Rice and beans were really flavorful as well. The green sauce on the table got my meal up a notch for heat, so that was nice that that was available. read more

My second visit was last night. The chips and salsa were tasty but even better with the side of cheese sauce that we asked for. I ordered the Burrito Real and a passion fruit margarita. The Margaritas are strong but delicious. The burrito came with beans, rice and salad on the side. Came out fast, fresh and hot. Portions are huge and you don't leave hungry!!! read more

Service was attentive, dining room was clean. Totally not exaggerating, but our food was brought out so quickly, it felt like only five minutes had gone by. It was super fast, so much so that I assumed the server was bringing someone else's food to our table by accident, but it was ours. I enjoyed the Burrito Leon, while my bride enjoyed the Sampler. Portions were generous and delicious. I don't know what went wrong with the small handful of outlier bad reviews here, but we gave it a chance and were not disappointed, we will return. read more

Showed up 20 minutes before close and they were very happy to sit us down. Good was great, salsa was fantastic. Great atmosphere and good service, only reason I give 4 stars is margarita wasn't the best, and the glass was all sticky. Other than that, I will definitely be back read more

We got an order to go and the food was delicious and ready in 10 minutes. The shrimp tacos were amazing. Fresh and generously portioned. If we lived in the area this would be a frequent spot.

Pollo poblano was excellent. Pollo bandito was awesome. Enchiladas tropical were ok bit a little spicy for me.

On a Sunday night I find myself in town for business. I look up Yelp. "Where to eat?" I'm thinking. Las Cocina has high reviews. I drive 8 minutes from Hampton Inn and I swear half of York, NE is already here. Immediately I'm service the chips and salsa. I order the Tacos Miguel. Unbelievable experience. Great food.
