A small building in the middle of a neighborhood, but the food was delicious! Service was quick and very friendly. We will definitely eat here again.

The service was great. They kept checking on me every now and then. I got the trio fajitas. The flavor was good but the beef was too tough for me. They had good chip sauce and chip. Will come back to try something else but no beed for me. read more

We stopped here for dinner while traveling through town. I would drive 1000 miles all over again to eat here. So very delicious! We enjoyed street tacos, enchilada, and a fajita burrito. The whole family loved it. Flavorful! The beans in particular were amazing. Try them! The location is brightly decorated and the service was welcoming. What a find! So happy we had a chance to visit here! read more

So glad I found this on Yelp!! The service was Fantastic!!!! So cheerful & helpful!! The fajitas were some of the best I've had, and I'm from west Texas! The salsa wasn't real hot, but I love super hot. I'm sure they have a secret hotter one if I'd have asked. Well worth the visit!! read more

La Cocina Mexicana - Front of the building - Mexican Near Me - Sweetwater, Texas

Well let's preface this review that all things considered this place gets 4 stars. Considering its located way west Texas in sweetwater where dining choices are SEVERELY limited... This place is a gem. For Mexican food la cocina can't be beat. Its not far off i-20. You drive up through residential area and will be wondering where is this place Once you order it's up fast! Delicious salsa Great iced tea And the price is twice as nice read more

Good was very tasty. Service was also good. Our waitress was busy and another waitress was very attentive although we weren't in her area.

Just passing through Sweetwater, TX and was looking for Mexican food. This is some of the best, authentic Mexican I've had in a long time. I had the Avocado Enchiladas and highly recommend them. read more

Great food at a great price. They've been in business in the same location for decades. What's not to love. Friendly service every time. Drive up window if you want it to go. Yummy!!! read more

I read the reviews before coming and a few said the service was poor and the food tasted like a TV dinner. Nothing could be further from the truth. The service was great and the food was good too. This is authentic Mexican food. So if you're looking for Tex Mex super spicy this ain't it. The food had nice flavor without setting your mouth on fire. Well seasoned and tasty. Don't let the outside of the place fool you the food is great. read more

La Cocina Mexicana - Enchiladas - Mexican Near Me - Sweetwater, Texas

This is only my 3rd visit over the years, but it's still consistently delicious food. It's like being in your abuela's kitchen, and tastes homemade. Good service, friendly people, & worth the visit. I'm glad I'll be able to frequent here more often now! The salsa was amazing, too! read more

I am giving the food a four star review and the actual restaurant a three star. The salsa was wonderful tomatoey, and spicy with a delicious hint of chipotle for a depth of flavor. I had a Deluxe Chalupa and it was good. Hubby had a combo with taco, tamale, cheese enchilada, beef enchilada and a stuffed poblano pepper. The beef had a nice flavor in all the dishes and each was unique. The elephant in the room is the building and atmosphere in the restaurant. It has 10 or 12 tables and it is very small, you go in and sit down and wait for someone to notice you, if you seat yourself in the front room, hang on it may be a while. The wait staff are friendly and the sweet, little old owner was there checking on all the diners. Overall, not unpleasant, but not great. read more

They have turned this place around! The food is great, and the service is good. This is arguably the best Mexican restraunt in Sweetwater. Their horchata is AMAZING and they do not skimp on portion sizes. They also have tasty salsa. I highly reccommend! read more

The only reason why I give them 4 stars is because they don't take credit cards and I had to scrape all of our money together to pay for dinner and give a tip. I also didn't see any booze offered. Having said that, the food is great! I got the spicy smothered burrito and my wife got the enchiladas with fajita meat on top. Both were quite tasty. read more

Look Ive lived in Colorado and North Carolina the past 7 years and if you want true Tex Mex food this is the place. Outstanding Salsa and great tasting food!!!!!! read more

La Cocina Mexicana - Mexican Near Me - Sweetwater, Texas

Cash or check only! They do not accept credit cards. Came here on a Monday night as most other restaurants in the area are closed on Monday's and there are not a lot of options in the area anyway. The staff was extremely nice and attentive. The food was decent. I ordered avocado enchiladas and my coworker ordered spinach enchiladas. Neither were amazing, but being from Austin I have high expectations for Mexican food. The chip bowl was endless and the salsa was decent. Being from Austin, I was worried that they wouldn't take my check, but they did with my id. If you find yourself in the area and need a place to stop for dinner, this place works. read more

This was crazy good! Salsa was spicy... Food was great... Service was speedy... And the price is awesome! 4 adults and 3 kids ate for under $35... We will eat here next time we are through Sweetwater! read more

Nothing special. Salsa is good. Family run and had crying baby in dining room. Food was average and took over 30 min. Service was nice. read more

For Sweetwater, this is the best Mexican food I've had thus far. Salsa was good and had a unique flavor. The taco plate was good and portion sizes were generous. We only saw one waitress and they were busy for a Monday evening Restaurant was super clean. read more

Ownership has changed and the food has definitely improved! Waitstaff attitudes have also improved a lot. They also now have a drive thru window! read more

This restaurant is so delicious! Best Mexican food ever. We always eat here when we are at the Rattlesnake Roundup. I understand there are new owners but the food is still wonderful. The menu has a lot more items. I had Street Tacos and my husband always has cheese enchiladas which are soooo good! It's off the beaten path but so worth finding!!!! Can't wait to eat here again!! read more

After 'dining' (and I use the term in its loosest context) at La Cocina there is only one word I can use to describe the experience - VIOLATED. We read the reviews and were excited to get some authentic Mexican on our way through Sweetwater. What a joke. This was hands down the worst Mexican I've had EVER. It might as well have been called plastic cheese with a side of cheese with a side of some dry granules pretending to be meat. The enchiladas were gluey and yet strangely dry. The rice might have passed for something regurgitated by a mummy bird and the beans were a solid layer stuck to the bottom of the plate. If you are looking for fresh, tasty Mexican run far far away from here. read more

This eatery is located the heart of heartburn city! I can't tell you how accommodating these guys were when we were there. We came after a funeral and there were about 20 in our party (this place isn't that big). The kitchen staff did a tremendous job making our food in a matter of time and the other ladies did great keeping our drinks filled and chips and salsa filled! Thank you so much, everyone! On a side note, the fajita enchiladas were great! read more

Ate here for lunch on a business trip. Very humble looking from the outside but nice & quaint on the inside. Not very large space inside but the staff was great! Chips and salsa were delicious! Nice big ice tea was spot on! It was a Tuesday, so I ordered crispy beef tacos with rice & beans. Very delicious and great pricing! Would definitely recommend! read more

The salsa was good and that's about all I can say. The chile relleno came with mealy chicken and the "enchilada" was in a taquito shell. It was all covered with lots of cheese but that couldn't mask the lack of quality. read more

Traveling through Texas and found this little gem. You wind around back roads to get there but worth it! Ordered the cheese enchiladas with fajita beef and fajita nachos. Both were delicious. Good beans and rice and they use cheddar cheese NOT cheese sauce. Salsa was spicy and not too tomatoey, chips light and crisp. Cash only but not overly expensive. Recommend you give this a try. read more

This place is a little off the beaten path but the true Mexican food they serve up is well worth it. Prices are great even if they don't take credit cards.. You can find such good home made food in big towns like Austin ,Dallas , Houston. Even my family from New Mexico loved the food! A must try for all. read more

The food is good, that's the only reason I'm giving this place 3 stars. And that's about the only thing that has me coming back every so often. The service is terrible. Everytime I come in its like pulling teeth to get the servers to even acknowledge you're there. If you like waiting 10-15 minutes for your server to even come to your table, on a night when there's only 3 other tables, then this is the place for you. This could be such a great place if the service was top notch, like the other Mexican restaurants in town. Disappointing for their quality of food. read more

The family is rating their own restaurant. The food really tastes alot like tv dinners. If they were really the best restaurant in town then why is their business not expanding. Have had better . Just have to travel outside of town for better food. Not trying to rate a 1 read more
