Super convenient location to where we were staying and the staff was great. We got queso (small was plenty for two), and the chicken, steak, and pork belly tacos. The steak was the best one of the 3- chicken had bacon bits on it which was interesting, and there wasn't enough pork belly to get a really good bite. read more

So... I never got my entree... Rice & beans were good. Jonathan was our waiter and his service definitely lacked. BIG TIME. #Disappointed read more

LaCo - Pretty lousy service. - Latin American Near Me - Seacrest Beach, Florida

We stumbled upon La Co and could not have had a better experience. Our rental house wouldn't let us check in for 4 more hours, so we had all of our luggage with us and needed to get some work done, as well. The La Co staff were so welcoming and set us up at a table and kept the food and drinks flowing for as long as we needed. They were great about checking in but not being too overbearing about it. Rennard was our server, and he was fantastic! We loved the margaritas, the esquites street corn, the taco salads, and the welcoming vibes! We will be back!! read more

The first thing I look for in a restaurant is the ambience. A+ The second thing I look for is a welcoming staff. A+ Then...the cocktails. For me, this can make or break a place. I had a passion fruit mojito. A+ There were 9 different mojito flavors to choose from and a wide variety of other very delicious and inviting other cocktails. Ah, if I only had more time..... The food was good. We had shrimp fajitas that were tasty. The veggies were definitely fresh and the rice and beans were good. My husband had the shrimp diablo and it was even better (it is spicier and had much more flavor than the shrimp in the fajitas). I would definitely recommend this place for its food, ambience, and service. The bartender was as friendly as she could be. She is a local and gave us several tips about things to do around town. I would highly recommend this to anyone. read more

Spacey waiter, microwave shrimp. Skinny margarita was tasty- and only 112 calories. The hub's fish tacos had very little fish. All in all, kind of yucky . Go fast food and do better. read more

Food was good, not superb, but good. Service was great & wasn't busy at all! I'd definitely visit again! read more

Meh... we are from Texas so it's hard to beat Tex mex but sometimes quick Mexican food is what you need when you're at the beach. We've come here every year for the last 4 years, this year they started charging for their chips and salsa which is annoying to me. However, their beef nachos were amazing and huge! We will still go back next year but it's not my favorite! read more

Excellent Mexican food!!! It is obvious how they use the freshest ingredients , aye!!! read more

LaCo - Winnegan love this restaurant, going to bring Mwommy and Dwaddy, aye!!! - Latin American Near Me - Seacrest Beach, Florida

Awesome Mexican on 30A. Family friendly. Lots of great choices. Wait staff was outstanding. We ordered 2 meals and both were awesome. Also had the queso appetizer which was also great. Fair prices too. Highly recommend! read more

The place looks nice but the food was not fresh, beef in beef fajitas smelled and ceviche looked so old :( $100 later , when we let the server know she responded the beef is "usually " fresh!!! read more

See all

Went there with our family of 7. We were promptly seated and water, chips and salsa were delivered to the table. The chips were light and crisp. Salsa was not too spicy and tasted delicious. Our server got our drink order while we looking the menu over. Our drinks (tea and coke) were delivered promptly. I took the servers recommendation for lobster quesadilla. My wife and daughter ordered chicken fajitas for two. My son ordered a plain beef taco and a plain chicken taco and rice. My daughters friend ordered the chicken strip basket. And my mother-in-law and father-in-law ordered specials. All of the food was delivered within 15 minutes of ordering. Everything was tasty. No one had anything negative to say about their food. Our server was by our table several times to refill our tea and coke. All in all it was a very enjoyable dinner. We will go back again. Prices were nominal and did not strike me as out of line. Service was excellent. read more

Beware of tacos with descriptions that focus on the sauce. In retrospect, I should have known better. The fish tacos I received from La Cocina's fish tacos were swimming in the sauce, a standard white tartar, the restaurant glorifies in their menu. There was so much sauce that the tortilla on my second taco dissolved. Not that it matters much for the taste, but to me, these looked like little burritos not tacos. But hey, we pay for the presentation too right? By the way, draft beers are $3. Margs are $9-$12. read more

Seacrest is our 2nd home. Our condo is actually right above the restaurant. We make this one of our "must go to" places when we're here. I want to say LOUDLY that the prices are not expensive. They are the average prices for the area. Go anywhere and prices are the same, period. This area is higher end which brings prices up everywhere including these restaurants overhead. If this is your problem then Panama City is right down the road. I highly recommend the cheese dip with chips and salsa. My wife enjoys the margaritas. Great place for kids and families. read more

So, I was a bit cautious to eat here based on the Yelp reviews. I had a coworker recommend this to me before a trip to Florida and there aren't too many other Mexican restaurants in the area, so my group stopped here. We arrived around 7:30 and there was only one group ahead of us. We were told the wait wouldn't be too bad (I think it was about 15-20 minutes). However, when we were seated at our table, it took awhile before anyone came over at all. It was kind of odd. Anyway, server finally came over, ordered someone else to bring us chips and salsa (which were REALLY good!), and took our drink orders. We asked her about the cost of a pitcher and she had to go check on it for us. We ultimately decided to each get an individual drink. I had the pineapple margarita and while it was good, I think it was overpriced. I had the mole enchiladas and the barbacoa enchiladas. PHENOMENAL! Especially the mole. I'd like to just get a plate of those. With that said, the beans and rice were nothing special. In fact, I didn't like the beans at all. Reminded me of the Ranch brand of beans my mom forced on me as a child...I've never disliked refried beans at a Mexican restaurant, so this was weird. My friend ordered the sour cream chicken enchiladas and I don't know which I liked better between our two orders. I'll just make sure to get those next time! Overall, the entrees were good, drinks were tasty but pricey, and service was off, but I wouldn't skip a meal here for any of those reasons. read more

Great Mexican food! When we stay at The Village, we usually come here for lunch at least once during our week stay since dinner time looks way too crowded. Food is great though and affordable compared to the other restaurants in the area. Definitely a good place to come to if you have kids or looking to watch how much you spend. Oh and the service is great too! read more

Great for large parties. Some dishes were really good. Fajitas are excellent. Other dishes were ok--meh. I felt nickeled-and-dimed by the way everything, including salsa, is a la cart. I don't mind paying more while on vacation, so it's not about the money. But when the price comes up over and over, it's kind of annoying. Our waitress was not very attentive or cheerful. She might have been slammed by the dinner rush, but then maybe they should hire more staff. I've found most dinning establishments in this area seem under staffed for the spring break rush. Food comes out quickly but wait staff (in this case) lacking in personality and service. A smile would be nice. read more

I would love to give a great review on something, anything. Great margaritas 5 stars! Chicken fajitas, oh my god. How does a Mexican restaurant mess up fajitas. Bland tasteless mush, no sizzling platter, luke warm chicken, tortillas like sticky dough, toppings out of a can. Waiter brought check with 3 glasses of wine, a beer, and two premium drinks that we didn't order. Just have chips and drinks and inspect your bill. read more

If you come here, be sure to ask for Hector's section, best waiter I've ever encountered!! And the food and drinks are amazing!! read more

LaCo - Latin American Near Me - Seacrest Beach, Florida

Decided to try this place on a Friday night. I lived Mexico years ago so Mexican food is always a favorite. It was busy but we did not have to wait for a table. Our waitress Claudia was terrific. Friendly, animated, and attentive. The food was less impressive. The chips and salsa were very good. The salsa had just enough zip to it and was tasty and fresh. Their "famous" lobster quesadilla was good but not great. It is a large portion. Almost enough for a meal. It is expensive but for the portion size it is reasonably priced. The tacos were not nearly as good. My friend liked the fish tacos but I was less impressed with the carnitas. The meat was good but a bit bland. The tortillas were horrid. It's like they came from a package that you can buy at Publix. Very disappointing. I should have had something else. All in all, it was ok Mexican food in a nice setting with a great wait staff. I would try it again but not in the near future. Too many other places in the area to sample first. read more

I live in Seacrest and have eaten here a few times because it's convenient and the food is ok. The service has been hit or miss. This summer service has gotten much worse. I just left there (for the last time) picking up a to-go order. The person serving me handed me my ticket and said "gratuity is expected". I asked her to clarify because I could not believe she said this. She confirmed it. I remember when servers earned gratuity through good service. There was no service here other than taking my money, handing me a bag of food and saying "gratuity is expected". We have heard that this is the same company the operates George's. Hard to believe the same group operates one of our favorite and one of our least favorite local restaurants. read more

La Cocina is one of the only Mexican restaurants I could find, aside from more fast-casual joints. The food was pretty good, decently average and hits the spot. The chips are kind of a soggy, oily mess, to be honest. The margarita was sold to us as "the best in the area" and it was actually very good and strong -- true facts! Overall, the prices were staggering and there was little variety in these dishes. Our waiter Benito was amazing --- so friendly, welcoming and knowledgeable. I'd come back just for him! He's the one who recommended the margarita and the man knows his stuff. The place is big, but gets crowded. Get there early for dinner if you want to skip the line. read more

My husband was craving ceviche on our recent trip to Santa Rosa, and after looking at several menus, we decided to give this place a try. As soon as we walked in, I realized that we were a bit overdressed as the restaurant was more casual than we had anticipated. It had the typical decor of a chain restaurant, which made me skeptical about the quality of the food, but we were hungry and decided to roll with it. I ordered a salad and my husband ordered the ceviche along with a few tacos... much to my surprise, the food was fantastic! Lesson learned... don't judge a book by its cover. This place may look like a chain, but the quality is there! read more

Hector is my main man! Make sure you sit in his section. The food here is top notch as well as the service. Hector is very nice and will get you exactly what you need. Definitely a place to hit up! read more

Just okay. I expected better quality for the location. The margaritas were terrible. Chips, salsa and queso were just okay. I had chicken nachos. There were about 5 "cubes" of frozen type chicken chunks on them. They tasted bad so I scooped them off. The nachos otherwise could have been decent. But they were covered in stinky powdered cheese. Yuck. I've never seen powdered cheese on nachos. My husband had a steak taco. Again, just okay. If you are in the mood for good Mexican at the beach, try elsewhere. This is more of a tourist trap option due to location. Place was clean and service was good. read more

My family loves this place!! The chips and salsa, quac, and queso are all good appetizers! I got the brisket nachos once, tacos another day, and enchiladas another day! All great options read more

Polite and great food...the venu was loud and you felt as if the were just pushing you through. Had to go to bar for first beers and then was told they would bring them out. Most impress with the food and spices read more

This is easily one of the best restaurants on 30A. Everything is fresh and well prepared. Some very interesting things on the menu! This is definitely not an order by number Mexican place. The have a great variety of tacos, and the lobster quesadilla is delicious. Very friendly, very inviting place. read more

Great restaurant here in Seacrest. A wonderful atmosphere and terrific food. Margaritas are the best. read more

LaCo - The Snapper Veracruz. Fantastic! - Latin American Near Me - Seacrest Beach, Florida

Great choice for Mexican in Rosemary! After searching far and wide for a dinner out anywhere from Santa Rosa to Panama City Beach, we ended up staying close by. When we arrived, we put our names on the list and informed that the wait would be 45 minutes. We were able to walk around, and and rather than given a buzzer, we were notified when our table was ready by text. We ended up waiting only 30 minutes before being seated and promptly given warm tortilla chips and salsa. Our waitress was funny and very helpful. We would recommend the enchiladas (we all ended up getting Verde sauce, even when the chicken originally came with Molé). The only thing about La Concina that was subpar (besides the wait) was the virgin piña coladas - they were way too sweet/strong and over priced. read more

One of our favorite places to eat in 30A! Everything on the menu is good, but we especially love the El Burrito bowl, any of the tacos, and the steak quesadilla. Nia was the SWEETEST waitress - always smiling and so kind! We'll definitely be back. read more

Our server, Nia, was excellent! Her suggestions were spot on and we enjoyed the experience! Will return the next time we're in town.

I don't know what they are trying to do really. I would classify it as rich TEXMeX. They tried to mexinize mashed potatoes. Their spicy queso was made with a haberno jelly. It was more sweet than spicy. The steak was good. It was pricy. read more

When you're at the beach for a week, it gets especially important to find something other than grouper and shrimp from time to time. La Cocina is a great zag when you've been overfished. The lobster quesadillas are a consistent favorite and the salsa is decent. The steak is always cooked to order and the brisket tacos are a solid choice, too. It's not Frank Stitt quality here, but its a nice change of pace at the beach. The owners also own George's at Alys Beach (a must-eat while staying on 30-a) and another nice little dive in Grayton Beach. read more

We have been going here for several yrs , fair priced for the area, food was very good, we had a issue with our waiter , asked for the manager she couldn't have been any nicer , went out of her way to resolve the issue, will for sure go again !!! read more

Our server Rennard was the best, he made our night. Best server great experience 10/10 recommend.

Well. I am quite disappointed to say the least! I ventured out for an outstanding taco Tuesday with my best girls. Unfortunately, the meal simply wasn't good. My burrito didn't even have chicken!!! What????? The entire point of the burrito...MISSING??? but it wasn't just mine! My friends were missing their chicken too. Although, this was the case our server was trying her best and was very sweet and accommodated to the issue as best as possible! Taco Tuesday? A bust. A new friend? Gained. Sincerely, Your traveling food critic. read more

Awesome salsa and great food. He wait is a bit long. I had beef tacos and cheese enchilada. It was very tasty. Someone else had the chicken enchiladas - excellent! read more

The chips and salsa were fantastic, everything else was just so-so and expensive. I got the 3 barbacoa tacos, which were decent, but cost around $15,which is a little much for just "ok" tacos that fall apart as soon as you pick them up. The sides were standard refried beans and rice.. Nothing special read more

We are locals... Used to be our favorite local restaurant. We went tonight for the first time in a few months and the menu changed, wait staff has changed and food sucked!!!! Overpriced and they think they're selling fresh red snapper... uh no, it was definitely frozen. 1 single frozen fish taco for $8! Never going back and I suggest you don't either!!!! read more

Food was okay but the pitchers of margaritas is a complete rip off. $32 and there is like a shot and a half of tequila in it.
