    Biggest burrito ever ^____^
    Michael S.

    Awe man, this place was the titz, but I've been here a bundle of times, so it wasn't like I didn't already know that. Feels like walking into the barrio when you enter. What I didn't already know what was what how what big the freaking burrito was gonna what be. I made a joke to my waitress saying, "Oh, I didn't realize I ordered the Family Style Burrito!" F'n hilarious, right? Well she just kinda chortled and waddled off. I then proceeded to make another absolute killer of a joke, but don't remember what it was, but I do remember the pain of it falling flat again on this woman. So - come for the food, but don't try your stand-up here, cuz you will be soul crushed and destroyed. They oughtta call this place "La Make-A-Joke-And-We'll-Kill-You Cocina" Will definitely be back!

    La Cocina has fabulous Mexican food! The vibe is contemporary and clean and service is great! Ambience is Mexican-style tasteful. I ordered a Carnitas quesadilla and a chicken quesadilla. Both were very generous in their proportions and sides. Even the chips were excellent! Decent parking available. Bonus: there's a Starbucks next-door.

    Got here at 9:30am and there were already 4-5 big tables having margaritas and beer. Well, then I will join too! Joanna was our server, and she was awesome. She and her counterparts were very attention. If I just glanced their way for a second, one of them would come over to ask if I needed anything. Food is really good, reasonably priced and good fresh quality. Parking looked easy, although we walked over from a nearby hotel. I think I had a mango or peach margarita, and it was GOOD. Would definitely come back again.

    Another visit to my fav mexican restaurant in Ukiah. It's cute, clean and great customer service. Today carryout on a rainy later afternoon. It's Taco Tuesday and $2.50 selected tacos. They are super good. Feels like tacos in Cozumel. Love the radish and red onion and lime. Al Pastor x 2. And the kids chicken burrito is perfect size for my appetite. The to go packaging is perfect. They don't miss a beat. Utensils napkins. Chips to go. Green and Red sauces. And a special treat was a horchata ! Can't wait till my next trip as I'm trying the amazing Seafood Tower I saw served.

    Service is ok. But prices are very reasonable. The food is very authentic. The Micheladas margaritas and Paloma's are super good. And the surf and turf burrito is very tasty hearty and delicious. The tacos are good as well.

    A side of Beans and Rice

    As close to authentic as you can get. The service was great. They were playing nice music. The food was delicious. The horchata water was also delicious (not made from concentrate), no photo of it, but it was yummy. My companion ordered an assortment of tacos (it was taco Tuesday) chicken, asada and al pastor. I got two asada tacos and two al pastor with everything. They were a lot more spicy than I am used to, but the flavor was incredible! I would definitely stop here again, if I am ever in the area.

    We were shopping and needed to dip in somewhere for a sweet treat. This place got pretty high ratings so we decided to check it out. The food all around us looked great, this dessert plate was good. Fresh ice cream with a Hershey's syrup drizzle and the churros were...good. For some reason three out of the five were hard instead of chewy. The cinnamon and sugar topping was delicious. We will try entries next time we are in the mood for authentic Mexican food. Service was friendly and prompt. It was busy that day but they were bussing tables quickly keeping the environment clean.

    Chips and Salsa
    Dolly L.

    I visited on a Saturday at 6pm. The place was pretty empty but they had an on-going queue of to-go orders the entire time we were there. We ordered a few tacos and a quesadilla. The chips and salsa were complimentary. The portions were big. Everything was super fresh and delicious. I really liked the quesadillas--the beef was super tender. Their fish tacos were great as well. The restaurant and restroom were very clean and the staff were super friendly and sweet. I definitely wouldn't mind stopping by again the next time I'm in the area.

    Chicken quesadilla

    Staying at the Comfort Inn and wanted dinner. (Specifically, Churros, my son wanted). Aguachile (really spicy), Chile Rellenos, kids chicken quesadilla, and kids fish tacos. Sucks that there was only one kids fish taco when it should come with two. Anyway food was delicious. Generous portions for bigger plates. Had to have drink for me and my sis. Dessert, had to have that too since my son was craving churros. Big enough to feed the four of us.

    Three chicken enchiladas verde, your standard rice and beans, and pico de gallo on a bit of shredded lettuce.

    So I was wondering if it was possible to just get a veggie fajita? No meat added? I am vegan and wanted to come along with my friends but I did not see anything on the menu

I started with one of their house margaritas--great flavor, a solid punch, and just enough tequila to spark a pleasant buzz. For my main dish, I went with the steak taquitos... or maybe they were flautas. I usually prefer corn tortillas for taquitos, but these were still quite good. The steak was well-seasoned, and the garnishes and salsa rounded out the plate nicely. My friend ordered the sizzling trio of fajitas and asked for the veggies extra charred. Honestly, I don't blame her. The aroma of blistered peppers and onions filled the air in the best way. Service was also good but can use a little less checking in. We enjoyed the food, but even more, we enjoyed the atmosphere and each other's company.

Sometimes it isn't. You can't rely on it and that is what matters. My wife and I tried to celebrate our anniversary there tonight, but our waiter screwed up my order in three different ways. I asked for whole beans instead of refried beans. He said he would take care of it. He didn't. I asked for sour cream and guacamole. I got neither. There was no explanation, just plates tossed on the table and then the server left before I could say anything. The waiter never came by to ask us how our food was. He never refilled our water glasses. They sat empty forever. After he took our order he never returned. It wasn't like El Molcajete was busy either. They were less than half full. Prices have gone up a lot in the last few years at restaurants. Customers deserve good, consistent food and good service. With El Molcajete it's like playing Russian Roulette. You never know what you're going to get. Tonight, it was lousy food and lousy service in the most uncomfortable chairs I have ever had to sit in at a restaurant. I'm not sure if I'll give them another chance.

But, hey, they have a salsa bar that doesn't look like it's cleaned out very often, so that's probably why the food was expensive. One salsa, the red salsa, was horrible. I think someone dropped some Fabuloso in it or something. The rest of the salsas were watery and terrible. They did give us chips (a little stale) to wait for the food. We waited about 20 minutes for the food to get to us, and there were only 2 people other than us in the restaurant. The torta was terrible. It had absolutely no flavor. And I'm hazarding a guess that the meat was previously prepared, then microwaved. The burrito was less better, with the red sauce tasting like someone had run out of red sauce, then added a bunch of water to make more red sauce, then drenched the burrito in it. No flavor. The coke and the jarrito were good. As an extra, my son got sick from the burrito later. So there's that. No, not coming back.
