If you're looking for authentic Mexican food--not Tex-Mex--this is the place. As San Diegans now living in Houston, we've been craving the flavors we grew up with, and this hit the spot. You can truly taste the quality and freshness of the ingredients in every dish. The pork in chile verde was incredibly tender and packed with flavor, and the green salsa on the chilaquiles was absolutely delicious. We also ordered the menudo, and it did not disappoint it was rich, comforting, and full of flavor. One thing that really stood out was the owner, who stopped by several times to check on us, make sure we were enjoying every dish, and see if we needed anything. That level of hospitality made the experience even more memorable. The restaurant is clean, casual, and very family-friendly, making it a great spot for any occasion. We'll definitely be back, and we've already recommended it to our family and friends.

The bacon-wrapped stuffed jalapeños were the perfect appetizer: smoky, crispy, cheesy, and just the right amount of heat. The guacamole was fresh, creamy, and packed with flavor, tasting like it was made from scratch. Every bite and sip was delicious, and the quality of the food really stood out. If you're looking for great drinks and flavorful appetizers, I highly recommend ordering all three. I'll definitely be back to enjoy them again!

They have a great variety of meats, including fajita, chicken, pastor, and plenty of other options. Everything I've tried has been fresh and well-seasoned. One thing you have to try is their lemonade mixed with cucumber. It's incredibly refreshing and goes perfectly with the tacos. If you're looking for delicious tacos that won't break the bank, Taco King is definitely worth checking out.

My new favorite taco place!! I came with my friend this past saturday and it was so crowded! We…read morewere able to order and find a spot to sit pretty fast. Since it was my first time here, I ended up ordering 1 chorizo and 1 asada taco, churros, limon aguas, and my friend got the asada taco as well and a hortchata! Since it was super busy (especially on saturday night) it was about a 30 minute wait foe our food but it was well worth it! They hand out free chicharrones and they were super crunchy and a nice snack while we waited for our food. The limon aguas was super refreshing especially in the summer heat and the horchata was really good! We sat at the counter top that overlooks the kitchen. I love that the open kitchen concept so you can see them making your food right in front of you! Everything smelled so good so I was excited for my food. I love that they give radishes, cucumbers, and plenty of limes on the side. I definitely love all of the toppings and the more the better! I tried all of the salsas and the salsa de chile de arbol was by far my favorite! super spicy but had so much flavor. The chorizo was good but a little dry for my liking. I did just want to try it so I can try more than one flavor but I think I would get it again as a breakfast taco with egg instead. The asada was my favorite of the two so much flavor and plenty of meat! I was content with these 2 tacos but I could have definitely eaten more if we didn't order churros as well! The churros came with classic condensed milk and dulce de leche which is just carmelized condensed milk. The churros were crunchy and warm on the outside and had a chewy texture like mochi on the inside! Super yummy and not too sweet! I liked both sauces and would definitely get this again. Overall, I had a great experience and I will be craving the tacos until the next time I can come back! I can't wait to try a lot of their other menu items as well. Definitely recommend!

Everything was so delicious my 'Imma just try it' went straight out the window! I had a fajita torta, and for take out delivery, it handled the ride pretty well. It was packed well and STUFFED. I get picky about my food getting soggy or a little too wet (either from lettuce or tomato) but the bread still had bite to it and everything altogether was tasty. Then I ordered fajita tacos (had a huge craving for them all week). And they had onion, cilantro, and limes included to drizzle and it was so good. I didn't even remember to take a picture I just gobbled it all up. The food was DELICIOUS! And their bean soup was so good. I don't usually order bean soup because I enjoy my refried beans but I was beyond surprised that they were so tasty. I ate it all up and drank the broth too!

I'd wanted to try La Cocina for a while for that reason and those plans finally came to fruition. You walk up to a counter that has all the ingredients for taco making right in front of you. The guy asks you how many you are going to want, and if you want flour or corn, so he can let them know in the back to make your tortillas fresh. About 2 minutes later, out came our tortillas. I ordered 3: one with eggs and bacon, one with some kind of egg and sausage combo and one non-breakfast taco with fajita meat. The fajita taco was just okay, but the breakfast tacos had me thinking about them for hours after the fact. They aren't very big, so if you're a growing boy like me, I'd aim for 4-5 of them. The guy behind the counter tried to guide us into his suggestion of 2 each, but I jumped in and said make it 3 for me. If I could go back in time, I would have done 4 and made them all the breakfast variety. Both breakfast tacos were straight bangers from another dimension. All the sauces were great and none were too spicy. I might have to return to this place sooner rather than later because I really did think about it the rest of the day. I love you, La Cocina.
