I didn't even know there was a Mi Concina closer to my house, until I looked up the nearest one when I was in Uptown running errands. I ordered to go. They have valet parking, so that is where I stopped because I had a to-go order and the valet guy said it was ok to park there to pick up my order. I walked and in and the ambiance was very uppity, very nice. It looks small at first glance, but I think they have an upstairs. I could be wrong, but it looked like it. What I ordered was the Problano Chicken Enchiladas and they were delicious. I will be going back for the same dish and maybe some nachos al carbon as well. read more

I am extremely frustrated with the abysmal service we received at the Mi Cocina Uptown Dallas location on December 23, 2025. Unlike our previous visits, this experience was completely unacceptable. From the start, the hostess and waiter were inattentive and dismissive, and we felt like we were being treated with suspicion and disrespect. When we requested additional items, we were informed of extra charges, which was not the issue. It was the degrading way we were monitored afterward that was infuriating and embarrassing. This experience is far below the standard we expect from Mi Cocina, and it's unacceptable. We demand a courtesy credit or a gift card as a gesture of goodwill to address the embarrassment and poor treatment we endured. Thank you for your attention to this matter. We expect a resolution and hope that future visits will reflect the true quality of Mi Cocina. Angela read more

Delicious salsa, brisket tacos, el patron margarita . Bar tender was serving the outdoor area, when he was there, it was like he was itching to go back inside. I realize he was busy. the food made up for the sporadic service . when he was there, he was nice. The initial attendant with the water and salsa was pleasant. read more

LOVE coming here!! The bartending staff is always quick and attentive each and every time we come. Not to mention, the entire establishment is clean top to bottom. read more

I have been here twice and loved it each time. I absolutely love the frozen Mambo taxi!! I even enjoyed it during the winter! The rice I preferred was the arrow verde! I'd never had it before and it was great! How could I forget the steak tacos? The tacos de brisket are so good! The restaurant is well lit with some dim areas and various seat options. You can eat indoors or outdoors, with heaters being placed around their patio seating. Also, parking was easy and the restaurant location is nice with shops and things nearby. read more

Worst parking in the neighborhood... and that's saying something. They allow huge trucks to occupy multiple parking spaces and there is no notice if the parking lot is full. They need an attendant. Food is ok, nothing special, and service is generally slow. There are better places for sure. read more

Not the greatest experience in Dallas. My husband wanted TexMex and this place was so disappointing with regard to quality of food. The server initially started out well until the end when he was MIA. The enchiladas were made wrong. Some ordered cheese and got beef. It was late and not worth returning or eating. read more

Delicious Mexican cuisine restaurant with great service. The restaurant was very upscale and stylish. The service was phenomenal, the way they packaged the food for leftovers was very considerate. The waiter was very patient with us. I got the enchiladas which the waiter noted to be popular. The food was delicious. The price were a little high but reasonable for the amount of food and quality of food . A great Mexican cuisine restaurants to visit! read more

Daniel was our amazing server tonight and he always remembers what we like and makes sure everything is perfect about our visit. He is one of the trading we like coming here every week, in addition to the high quality food and festive atmosphere. read more

Nice place to grab dinner with the girls in downtown. We sat outside and it was a nice view of the park and not too loud. It was busy but our waiter was able to stay attentive to us. There was not a very long wait at all from ordering food and drink to receiving them. The food was okay but nothing spectacular just your typical tacos. They were well seasoned and filling. It'd be nice if they had an al a carte taco option because the portions are large. I didn't even finish my food. Pricing was reasonable for the portion. My friend really enjoyed her fajitas and the other said her burrito was just your typical burrito. Overall I'd probably only come back if someone really wants to go. But most likely not on my own. read more

I think the food is good for a tex mex place but nothing outstanding. My food was great but I can get the same thing for less at a hole in the wall spot. The service was very good, waiter was patient and I do love the inside vibe. read more

Mi Cocina was an okay experience overall. The atmosphere was nice and the staff was friendly, but the service was a bit slow. The food was decent--nothing bad, but not especially memorable for the price. It's a solid spot if you're craving Tex-Mex, just not my top choice. read more

We enjoy the neighborhood feel of the Lakewood Mi Cocina. And we always get the very best service from Kiante

Was looking for great Tex Mex while I was in Dallas and Mi Cocina did not disappoint. Lots of outdoor seating but I ate inside and the air conditioning was pumping which I loved cuz it was hot as hell out. The kitchen was a bit backed up but my waiter was so nice and apologetic I did not mind. I tried their signature marg Mambo Taxi very good, tried their Cocina Platter cuz I wanted to try a variety and it was all great, and their signature Sunset Style Fajitas were delicious and unique read more

The staff was also very friendly, our server Tania was the best as well and recommended us so many dishes of food & everything was very delicious. read more

Mi Cocina is a very consistent brand regardless of the location. I frequent the Highland Park Village location but have eaten at many of their location in Dallas and other. Sunset sauce is excellent and should be ordered on the side to share. Love the heat! read more

It's Mi Cocina. If you know Dallas, you're familiar with this local chain restaurant. The name alone makes it a solid go-to option. However, the food is just OK, not the best Tex-Mex in town, but the restaurant is a solid choice for out of town visitors and business gatherings. The menu offers various options for a reasonable price compared to other restaurants. The service is speedy. An important tip about this specific location is that you're better off doing valet for $5 than self parking for $10-$15. read more

Mi Cocina - Tex-Mex Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Great , traditional, dallas joint. This is a busier location but the vibe is very upscale. Always get a mambo.

I've been a regular at this McKinney Avenue location for a while, and while the food and drinks are still really good, the service has really slipped over the past six months. Greg is the one server who always does a great job, but overall things feel very disorganized. My visit last night is what pushed me to finally write this. I ordered a drink, waited 15 minutes, and it never arrived. I ended up having to go to the bar myself to get it. First world problem, sure, but when you're at a restaurant you expect basic service to be there. It's frustrating because this is a popular spot in a prime location with locations all over the metroplex. If they don't address the service issues, the experience is going to keep overshadowing the great food and drinks. read more

do not doordash from here! Had two people tell me they were woking on one of my two orders. Neither got back to me then the third says they don't even have that name! Who suffers? The customer wondering where the hell their food is! read more

Went for a friend's birthday celebration to Mi Cocina. We had a great time and the vibe was wonderful. The service was very good and the staff were friendly and helpful. The only bad part was that they could not split the cheque for the individual couples and ended up with one of the party members having to pay the whole cheque. The food was okay. Great taste but was lacking the flavours that you would expect from a Mexican restaurant. read more

Usually an easy place to go to when I'm undecided on where to eat but seem to be understaffed lately as I waited 15 minutes to get service in the upstairs bar area read more

This is a nice place to get Tex Mex in a fancy location. My husband used to live in Dallas, and he wanted to come to this area to get some Tex Mex. I think he hadn't realized the degree to which the area had gentrified. We ended up eating at Mi Cocina because it was the only Tex Mex option in Uptown (no, Velvet Taco doesn't count as Tex Mex, sorry). We were there for a late lunch on a weekday, so it wasn't crowded, and they were pretty attentive to our party that included two kids (they do have a kids menu). The setting is cool and elegant. They play Latin/Caribbean (mostly Cuban, a little Dominican) music rather than Mexican music. We started with an order of guac and an order of the yellow queso. The guacamole was excellent, and we all loved the freshly fried chips. I also loved the salsa that they automatically bring out. The queso was only okay to me, but my husband loved it. I had the lunch special brisket tacos. They were really good. I wish that they came with beans instead of the avocado salad, but only because I didn't like the dressing on the salad. Otherwise, I liked the green rice, and my daughter liked eating the veggies on my plate. My husband had the fajitas, and he liked them. My son had the kid crunchy beef taco, and he loved it. My daughter ordered a quesadilla, but they brought her an enchilada, and she did not like the enchilada sauce, so she ate more chips and the avocados and tomatoes from my salad. I ate some of her enchilada, and I thought the sauce was too salty. They have an Arnold Palmer on the menu, which is what I ordered. The iced tea was unsweetened, which was good, but the lemonade was clearly not housemade, and given the location, it seems like a disgrace to have an Arnold Palmer on the menu that uses Tropicana. Just saying. My husband asked for a silver tequila on the rocks, and they brought him reposado. It was an excellent tequila, but not what he ordered. I'm generally not a fan of chain restaurants, especially for things like Tex Mex, but apparently those are the only options in Uptown Dallas nowadays. And Mi Cocina isn't bad, it just isn't what I was hoping for on our one unscheduled meal in Dallas. read more

Mi Cocina in Uptown is by far the best Mexican restaurant to go to. Our waiter, Joel, is AMAZING!!! Food was delicious as were the traditional margarita drinks. Any imperfections were immediately corrected, BEST SERVICE by far, ask for Joel! read more

Mi Cocina food and drinks are incredible, but the real highlight is the staff's exceptional service. Chef Lolo is always going above and beyond, visiting tables and ensuring everyone has a great experience. His attentiveness and friendly demeanor make a lasting impression. He not only stands out from his black chef uniform with his name on it but oh boy we sure loved the green enchiladas and nachos he makes - they were absolutely fantastic! We'll definitely be back for more. read more
