Lunch menu
Terrance G.

Came here for a work lunch and despite it being pretty packed we were seated on the upper level very quickly. The service was really quick and flowed well from drinks to dinner. The tacos de brisket are a must try. The corn tortilla shell was cooked perfectly and the brisket was overflowing in the taco and was so tender and filling. The salsas are delicious but beware of the crema verde salsa it's got a good flavor but it'll kick you in the chest.

Came to Mi Cocina once again but for lunch this time. Was served on by Miguel who was just so kind, everyone who works here is attentive and caring. Miguel gave us some great recommendations but I just had to get the Ceviche again and my husband got the Mi Tierra tacos. He brought some green hot sauce , it was spicy but so DELICIOUS. Thanks again for a great lunch

Fave Margaritas!!

Nachos + Best Margaritas! Love to visit - they don't take reservations so plan ahead!

I have never dined at a Mi Cocina before this visit and I am grateful. The food was dry, flavorless, and just completely lacking. I cannot comprehend the popularity of this chain. Friendly servers though

Chicken poblano enchiladas

Came here last sunday night and i was a bit surprised with how noisy it was. I was glad for the upstairs area that proved to be a little quieter. It took a bit to flag our server down to take our order but the food came out in good time and was pretty tasty. No complaints.

Taquitos and salad
Lisa C.

Mi Cocina's Highland Park location in Dallas has delicious taquitos & salsa! Went on a Saturday afternoon and the wait was long so I opted to eat outside and I was pleasantly surprised at the great service I received. My server was very attentive and kept my water glass full. I definitely appreciated that as I was burning up from the Texas sun. Their guacamole was smooth and delicious and so was my mezcal margarita. Will definitely come back next time I'm in Dallas and want to sit inside. The restaurant was decorated in beautiful Mexican decor. This place would be awesome for date night and large party gatherings. The plaza this restaurant is located in has security parking and valet. Also great luxury shopping location near the restaurant.

Chicken enchiladas with sunset sauce.
Skip S.

Such a great location. Christmas lights in The Village are beautiful. I had the chicken enchiladas with sunset sauce. Definitely recommend you get a side of this regardless of what you order. It's great. Has some nice heat. If you like caramelized onions they cook them perfectly. My wife who is Ms Particular definitely endorsed the caramelized onions. Be on the lookout for rookie servers. Good news is the managers are there to back up when needed. Check out the Monkey Bar upstairs as well!

Sour cream, chicken, with rice, pico, and guac.
Andrew G.

For what it is, Mi Cocina is just all right. Nothing stands out either good or bad. All of the food is as expected. The portions are a bit smaller than they appear. Flavoring on the protein is generally good, but not exceptional. There seems to be a lack of a little authentic Mexican spice. Our waitress was good, but one little hangup I have is her wearing an earbud while serving us. Overall, it was a nice meal, and a very beautiful area.

Celebrating our 1-year anniversary at The Mexican was nothing short of extraordinary…read more From the moment we walked in, the energy, attention to detail, and genuine passion for excellence were evident in every aspect of the experience. The food, cocktails, atmosphere, and service came together to create an unforgettable evening. A special shout-out to Ashley, whose hospitality and mastery behind the bar elevated our celebration even more. Her knowledge of her craft, warm personality, and thoughtful recommendations made us feel truly welcomed and valued. It's rare for me to give an establishment a perfect score, but this one has earned it without hesitation. 10/10--an exceptional dining experience and the perfect place to celebrate life's special moments. Thank you to the entire team for making our anniversary so memorable. We can't wait to return!

It was my first visit, and it was absolutely worth the wait. I've seen all the Instagram posts, and I finally got my chance to experience it for myself. Since it was Taco Tuesday, I had to order the tacos and the ceviche. I snagged a cozy corner seat so I could take in the entire atmosphere, and everything was spot on. The food was delicious, the ambiance was beautiful, and the bartender was even kind enough to take my picture. From the service to the vibe, this place exceeded my expectations. It will definitely be one of the first places I think of for a date night!

Came in on a whim on a Friday night around 9pm with no reservation. We were instantly taken aback…read moreby the ambiance here. My wife and I agreed it felt like we were back in Mexico City. Chris our server was very friendly and knowledgeable. He took his time walking us through the menu and explaining what made El Carlos Elegante so special. The drinks were perfect. My wife loved her Desert Flor while I thoroughly enjoyed my Modelo Micheleda. Her Surf and Turf one hitter was exceptional. I have to say my Crab Cake was just ok. It tasted a little pasty and very heavy on the bread. The Pulpo was absolutely amazing. Perfect texture and the sauce it was served almost had me licking the plate. The El Machete was incredible from its presentation, to the freshness of the corn tortilla, to the quality of the meat inside. Definitely recommend this. We really liked our Okra + Shishito course, we just wished it had more okra in it. The two things I loved about the Al Pastor was of course the sauce it was served on but the fact that I got to enjoy it like a steak. It was served sliced on a bias like flank steak. Typically Al Pastor is finely chopped and served in tacos and burritos, so this was a different eating experience for me. And of course it was delicious as well. We cannot wait to come back and try more of the menu.

I've been here twice. Everything we ordered was very good both times…read more During our first visit, I had the Caesar salad, which I declared at that time "the greatest Caesar salad I've ever tried." It was glorious and bountiful--there was ample dressing, cheese, and other ingredients I'm forgetting that made it unique. Unfortunately, during our second visit, the Caesar salad was significantly different. I think they used the same dressing, but there was very little of it. There was nearly no cheese and the other ingredients were similarly sparse. It was still good, but it in no way was the greatest I'd ever tried. I hope that this was a 1-off experience, as it truly was the best. I will report back next time. Service was great both times- they were very careful about my Cilantro request (none) and even though they gladly prepared dishes without it, they also made a list of things that already had none by default. Salmon ceviche, Pork al pastor, Carne asada, and the machete were also very good. The machete is a specialty- it had the house made masa and fillings can vary.

So thinking we showed up for our reservation, this location says they don't take reservations. They stop at is anyway, which was nice. We were seated on the porch, and here's where things got weird. We ordered our drinks and when the drinks were delivered, we said we were ready to order, and the waitress, hesitated and then said she would be back. Kinda strange, but eventually we had our order taken. I ordered a mango agua fresca which was pretty good. The complementary chips and salsas were also really good. For an entree I had the Tempura Fried Fish Tacos. These were very good and the coleslaw served with them was very good- crunch and bright. Overall the food here is pretty solid. The service was a bit off, but not a deal breaker, just be prepared to wait a while to have your order taken.

I would like to mention that they nickel and dime you pretty hard. There's a split plate fee and they voluntarily brought out veggies for my GF friends when they inquired if they could eat the chips, but they ended up charging us $6 for it. Not the end of the world, but good to note!
