I very much enjoyed my visit to Mi Cocina with my family this past weekend. Although I can't remember our server's name, he was super polite and was very good with service. Our food came out so fast and was very delicious. My family and I loved the ambiance, the service, the good food, and most definitely the prices! We will have to come back soon to try more of the food on the menu but it is safe to say that we are not disappointed at all. read more

Food is consistently great. The staff was very attentive and great about letting us move to a different table on the patio. I like the sounds from their water fountain and festive atmosphere. Highly suggest a you try it at least once. Recommend the tacos habanero. read more

The food was good, the service was excellent and I love the ambiance! The manager is so kind. It's a must try!

Food was delicious! Skinny Margaritas were yummy! Nathan was the best server and on top of serving us diligently! He did an amazing and fantastic job! Very proud of him and he was a very involved and engaged server attending to our needs! read more

Came with the fam to eat here, it will be our one and only time. Food poisoning has a way of turning us off! We were all sick within 90 minutes of eating here, even our 3 year olds had upsets stomachs; and now they are throwing up in the middle of the night. This is how kids die-choking on vomit in their sleep. This was the only meal they had after this bc everyone was too sick for anything else. Do you know how disgusting the kitchen has to be and how outdated food has to be to give a whole family food poisoning? (Coming from a rest owner) It has to be bad in their kitchen and the staff clearly doesn't care....unless something was done on purpose. I hate to contemplate either option. This location is nothing like the other Mi Cocina restaurants: we were ignored for 10 minutes until I had to find someone to send a server. We ordered the same meals we always do when eating at Mi Cocina, but they all came with different garnishes, the beans were even different, etc. Just an awful experience, would not recommend. read more

I was visiting Dallas, while waiting for relatives I went as a solo diner; typical Tex-Mex cuisine. The host (sorry I didn't get his name) was very friendly and welcoming. He accommodated my request for a booth and recommended the Mambo Taxi (delicious!) and the Poblano Chicken Enchiladas since I wanted something light. Hilda the server was also pleasant and the food arrived quickly. read more

My coworker and I have lunch at Mi Cocina on a regular basis. When I say that this staff is top tier-they are. From the moment we walk in, they remember where we like to sit, they are inviting, always cheerful and the service is impeccable. Now let me get to our server...Jemenez(J) Uriel, we absolutely love his attention to details, attentiveness without being intrusive and he always does it with a smile. Ask for him and tell him Nicole sent you. read more

Have NOT been here for at least 6 years BUT will become regular again . Food was fantastic. Ordered Pauleys with molcajete sauce . Service was perfect . Restaurant is clean and laid out well without overcrowding. Went with vegetarians and they were very happy with options. read more

The food was fantastic. The service was great too. Debra, the manager, took great care of us along with our waiter, Hector. On recommendation from Hector, we went with the brisket tacos and ribeye fajitas. The meat was tender and juicy, and the sides were fresh and tasty. Debra brought us a flight of queso and salsa and the flavors were on point. I highly recommend this place. read more

We have come to this Mi Cocina location for years. The staff is very attentive and quick to take and fulfill your order. Anita always greets us with a smile and a hug. We have fostered a friendship with Uriel how takes care of us and asks about famously, recent events with us, and generally caring about how we are doing. You can't go wrong visiting this Mi Cocina location!! read more

I've been to this location before but today and it's usually just ok...today was better than before! No wait on Saturday night at 6; good dining lighting; Food was fresh; Diana was our server and she was exceptional!!!! Thanks to the manager Debra (sp), for creating a good neighborhood dining experience! read more

Safe place for Tex-Mex food. I've been here on occasion and have tried different things. The food is good. The only thing to note is that they are typically busy and there is usually a wait even for just one person. I'd recommend calling ahead if thinking of eating here. Other than that, enjoy! read more

My coworkers/friends were looking for a place to have a get-together. It was a large group and Debra the manager assisted us in making arrangements and was phenomenal! The seating was great, the food was awesome, and the drinks were solid. I had the nachos and a couple of Mambo taxis . Even with such a large group no one had to wait long to be checked on by Rufino, our waiter. Also had no issues with parking like some other places. I would definitely go back!! read more

Happy hour was fantastic! $5.00 skinny margarita, flair as and chips. Service was good. Sat at the bar and the bartender was pleasant and attentive. Very good prices for a quick happy hour. Everyone wore masks and hand sanitizer was available as soon as we walked in as well as in the restroom and at the end of the bar. I don't understand the argument over masks. We take them off as soon as we sit. Just wear it. It is not the restaurants that make the rules. Wear it . Take it off . Enjoy dinner. Put it on to walk out the door. Very simple. Management did a great job dealing with guests not wanting to wear them. We will go again. read more

New to the DFW area and was looking for some good TexMex. Food was very good. Had the Sunshine Beef Enchiladas and the rice was really good and the beans were very good even though i'm not really a bean type of guy. Everyone was very polite and service was impeccable. Pricing is pretty competitive. Very good experience overall will come again. read more

One of my favorite spots. I like sitting at the bar to watch TV and Denise is one of my favorite bartenders. Always friendly and accommodating. They have made several nice upgrades to the interior which was already a nice place. I had cheese queso, guacamole, the lunch portion of chicken quesadillas with bean soup...delicious on a couple of margaritas read more

A table of 5, 3 of us our first time here, 2 of us had been to a different location and recommended the restaurant. I had a shrimp/jalapeño dish from the appetizer menu that was fantastic! A couple of enchilada dishes were had and something else. We enjoyed the food and service was great! read more

*Editing review and star rating from 2 to 4 stars: I received a comment and message from customer service asking for my contact info to have someone reach out about my experience and was contacted the next day by Ray, the restaurant director. He informed me that he had already spoken with the staff about how to present the check to customers during the M-F lunchtime rush but assured me that after 2PM, servers should not be setting the check down preemptively. If they do, they should mention that the check is there for the customer's convenience. His mentality is that people will make mistakes if they're never taught the right way to do something - this I can understand and resonate with. Given his active efforts to correct the situation and apologetic tone, I truly believe that his intentions were sincere and have high hopes for this restaurant. I'm not really sure how authentic Mi Cocina is in terms of Mexican food but the busy crowds seem to indicate that people like it. The ambiance of the restaurant is very nice but the presentation of the food makes it look like any other basic Mexican restaurant. My poblano chicken enchiladas were dry and not very hot. I think they left my food sitting out for too long while they were preparing my friend's fajitas. We were never asked if we needed anything else or if we wanted dessert. Instead, our server presented the check on the table prematurely as if he wanted us to leave. I realize that there were people waiting, but we were still dining. read more

Food, Service and Ambiance Excellent ! From the moment we walked in the door, the hostesses greated us with a warm welcome. The restaurant was clean atmosphere nice. Waiter took our order and quickly bought us nachos and salsa . Order taken with a slight hiccup received beef versus chicken. Ms Debra was nearby and graciously assisted us along with prompt follow up. Debra was extremely attentive to our family and made a night out for dinner a wonderful experience. read more

We had a birthday party there today. Our reservation was somehow lost, but Debra, the manager, went out her way to accommodate our group and everything was wonderful!!! We had a terrific waiter and thoroughly enjoyed the afternoon. read more

I've been here several times and haven't been disappointed. The salsa that comes with the chip is well flavored and had a nice chunky/liquidity to it. The staff was welcoming and got to our orders very quickly. I would highly recommend the steak fajitas where they come out sizzling hot and the meat was well season. They also provide nice toppings and sides like guac and salad/rice with it. Great place for lunch and looking forward to be back! read more

To be completely honest, this is the best Mi Cocina location in the DFW area, if you can call any of them the best. The food is very low quality but cheap. The best thing on the menu is actually the Mambo Taxi drink which the chain is known for. If you have a couple of them, you'll forget about how subpar the food is. read more

I have not been in 4 years and the service and food was incredible. We got the brisket tacos and mi Tierra tacos. The tacos were flavorful and meat was tender. My husband could not finish the last taco as there was so much meat he was full! The manager, Debra, was very professional and friendly. We left very full and satisfied with the service. read more

DISSAPOINTED: ordered green enchiladas they were dry I asked for more green salsa to put on top well I was charged $2 then my daughter ordered chicken and it was low on sauce too we asked for more and we were charged another $2 we told the manager and she made a big deal calling the server I front of us and questioning us Fact is it's not the $4 it's the principal Don't serve dry food! Don't make a big deal about making the server come and create a scene I don't think we will be coming back and this was a regular for us weekly I guess just eat your food dry or change the manager ‍ read more

This is one of the TexMex restaurants that I probably would come back for tacos. I love their brisket tacos . It's so good, well I only had a bite of my husband's and I loved it. So good that my husband only had to offer one nite with me LOL. I had their grilled chicken tacos and i thought the meat would be dry but nope, I was wrong. It tastes good with the lettuce, cheese, rice and avocado. I couldn't ask for more. My sister in law loves tacos so I'll make sure to recommend this one to her. Will be back to try some more in their menu. If you move tacos, I would recommend the brisket, it's one thing that I will come back for more read more

Why does it feel like so many restaurants in Dallas have had a massive decline in quality as prices go up? Not that Mi Cocina was ever spectacular but it used to be pretty good. Now it's the Starbucks of Mexican food. Service was good at least. read more

I've gone to another Mi Cocina and it wasn't too great. That could had been because I ordered their nachos and it was a bit disappointing for me. However, I had a friend in town who wanted to try Tex Mex and so we went to this place since it was close to where he was staying. I ordered the taco salad (shredded chicken) and a posole soup. Everything I ordered was delicious. My friend had a combo plate with a taco, a enchilada and tamale. He thought it was delicious too. I would recommend this place to others if they want Tex Mex. For a chain, it's not as bad. read more

I would give negative star if there is a option. My boyfriend and I dine at mi Cocina all the time, but I feel very disappointed with a recent experience. A few days ago, I left my wallet with all my documents (driver license, credit cards, etc) on the chair, I went back a couple times to talk to the manager and see if someone returned my wallet. On Tuesday noon, I decided to look in the back dumpster. Surprisingly, I found one of my credit cards in the dumpster suck on the bottom with the greasy. that means one of the employees kept my wallet and threw away my documents. This is the only way it can be explained. As a Customers would not go back to the mi Cocina dumpster to throw away my documents if the customers took it, as they would have to drive to a back alley. I am hundred percent that one of the employees kept it. First, they have to clean the table after each customer. second, one of my credit cards in their dumpster. I'm very disappointed that the manager there first responded was questioning authenticity of what we said, and did not believe that it was found in the dumpster. So, I immediately showed him a picture of me in the dumpster. Instead of trying to find the employee that took the wallet, the manager instead said it was probably a customer. That is almost impossible, as a customer would not drive behind mi Cocina to throw away the contexts in the wallet. Today this person can steal my wallet,tomorrow this person can steal anyone's value. Bad habits come from small things. The worst part of it was the dismissive attitude of the various managers. Very disappointed in them and their establishment. read more

This on behalf of Rafael the Server and Jose, the Manager and the entire staff. I will be up front about this review. I grew up in the restaurant business since I was 8 years old, my father was a chef. I have worked in every position of the restaurant from front of the house to back of the house. I ended up building restaurants for a living. That said, WOW...just WOW!!! I was honestly taken back by my experiance today. I have been to this restaurant many times before and experienced the same results, but never took the time to write a review. The minute we walk through the door, the Hostess was was Clean, Polished and Professional, we were seated and given our choice of tables for this time of the day. The restaurant and bathrooms were CLEAN, organized and very well managed and in control. My wife said in the 5 minutes we have been here the service and friendliness has been outstanding!!! My wife had a big smile on her beautiful face. My Man Rafeal, greeted us and said, I'll be right back to take care of you. Back servers dropped chips and salsa, and they even dropped a plate for us each. Many restaurants forget to do this. Who drops food on a table and doesn't put down a plate...(Barbaric...I tell you) great recommendations for food. We ordered our drinks, which came out cold, tasty and intoxicating :-))) We ordered our food and again, hot, tasty and beautiful plating. Constantly be checked on by Rafael and Jose. They could see that we were not going to finish our lunch and had to go boxes ready and he boxed everything for us. Thank you Gentlemen for a Wonderful afternoon of service, food and drink. I will say that the word CARE kept coming to mind. These people CARE about they their Guests!!! We hope you enjoy your experience here at Mi Cocina as much as we have!! read more

Great service and food was really good! Nice looking place and very Mexican! We got in really fast no wait time! read more

My rating is solely based on the lack of flavor the guacamole displayed. It was extremely BLAND and over priced. $7.95 for one scoop of guacamole that was hardly mashed. I ate more chucks of avocado then anything. The margaritas were delicious!!! No complaints there at all. But the guacamole was a huge disappointment. read more
