One of my favorite places! The double barrel margarita is the best thing to get if you need something strong to get the job done! I recommend one for beginners and two or three for pros! Drink responsibly! read more

Mi Cocina - Double Barrel Margarita; Gimmemoorefood - Mexican Near Me - Plano, Texas

It was loud & noisy; service sucked; food sucked; DEFINITELY will not be back! Nuf Said!

I had never been to Mi Cocina before an out of town guest came and wanted good Mexican cuisine. Not being there before, I took her here as I was curious myself. HANDS DOWN the worst Mexican food I have ever had. I DO NOT recommend. It was such an embarrassment as a host. read more

This is my favorite Mi Cocina location and I have several near my home. One thing they never should have taken off the menu is the Lucy Changa. They'll still make it though. Get it with Fajita beef covered in Sunset Sauce. Delicious. Mambo Taxi x2 read more

Awesome food and drinks but the real reason we come back is for our favorite bartender Tito. He always makes our time at mi cocina a 5 star experience. Hes very helpful anytime i have a question over the menu and he always makes sure I have everything I need. His attentiveness is outstanding. Sit at the bar with Tito!!!! read more

Mi Cocina has been a favorite and continúes to be with their to go service. I love the Mi Tierra nichos, reminds me of street tacos, so so good! read more

Mi Cocina - Mexican Near Me - Plano, Texas

We go here weekly. The service has been great and the managers are actively visiting each table whether it's a weekday or weekend. Go easy on your margaritas.... the bartenders really keep track of your drinks even when you sit in the other side of the restaurant with a separate tab running, they somehow know how many you've had when you come up to the bar to order. I've been denied, but then maybe they just know me too well. We always bother them with extra this and that and have all sorts of condiments over crowding our table, yet they are awesome and always accommodating with all your requests. I can't remember a single time I've had a bad experience here. We come here every week when we can't decide on a place to eat and aren't in a mood to be disappointed. This place, I can always count on. Hope I didn't just jinx myself lol read more

We were here on weekend for lunch. Excellent service and delicious food. We ordered fish tacos. You must try Ernese chicken. Location is beautiful as we get to seat next to the fountain. We will come back soon. read more

Victor was our server. He was great. The ceviche camarones was delicious! I loved that it had jicama. The margaritas are pretty awesome too. read more

I grew up on Tex-Mex so I don't normally go out of my way for it. But I felt like some Tacos so I decided to give Mi Cocina a shot. I did t really know what to get but my waitress Sonia made it easy for me. She said go for the brisket tacos. Glad I did. They were beefy and satisfying. The salsa had the right amount of heat and flavor. Drinks weren't watered down either. Great service good food and strong drinks, I'll definitely be goin back. read more

Prior to Cov-19 I was a regular at this restaurant every week. I placed an order today for pick up and was very rudely met by a woman. I suspect she was the manager. She was on the phone and couldnt do anything but tell us to get out! I was trying to do my part to support local restaurants but I won't be going back here any time soon. read more

Waiter seemed a bit overwhelmed. Maybe he had too many tables. Forgot my tea. Nice though. Manager stopped by table. Had booth. This is one of my fav Mi Cocina locations as it has cozier vibe. Steak fajitas are always good. We usually spilt as its a large portion. read more

Stoped by Lakeside for some dinner with the family. Service to the meal was fantastic. Will be coming back soon to see our Waiter and Managera "Roger & Jimmy" read more

We had lunch on the patio this past Saturday. There is a little pond that the patio overlooks. The service was on point. Although the location was extremely busy with the nice weather and it was around lunchtime, our server was attentive and the manager was checking on tables. I had the taco salad which was really good and not too greasy as many are. The queso wasn't my favorite but love their chips. I had a frozen drink that had sangria mixed in. The name of it escapes me, but of course it was good. I recommend if the weather is nice, eat on the patio. read more

Had a great time! Pavel took really good care of us Food was great, planning on coming back again soon! read more

Social distancing, cool environment, great food, super drinks and superb service. Lizbeth at the Lakeside Mi Cocina is the consummate professional and this particular Mi Cocina is exceptionally well run. We have several Mi Cocinas that are much closer to us, however, we drive the extra miles to this location because the entire experience is just that much better. Congrats and best wishes to Lizbeth (a newbie) and Mi Concina (Lakeside). read more

I love coming here the food is amazing and my server Ruby is awesome she always takes great care of me! Highly recommended

The food was pretty delicious but my fajitas were not sizzling. When I asked why not I was told that there were three orders and the smoke up the place so they let mine sit. Really? The still tasted ok but not ideal fajita experience. The service was definitely sub par probably because we had a young guy who was learning. Never checked back on us. I had to wave at him to get his attention. I've eaten here before and the service was excellent. read more

We have eaten at a different location before and the food and service was wonderful. We came here tonight and it was about 9pm and we had to wait about 15 minutes before anyone came to seat us but she had been talking to another employee and kept looking at us and finally came and seated us. The waitress was not attentive we had to wait to get refills on drinks and the food was horrible. It was cold and had no taste. Definitely not worth the $60.00 we spent! Never will we go back to this location! Not interested in their customers for sure just their coworkers!!!! read more

Bar service is great...for first 10 minutes. After that, expect unattentive service and nothing else unless you flag down other wait staff. Mi Cocina used to be our 'go to' place but lately the bar is under staffed and the service is slow. No sure why management thinks one bartender for the entire restaurant is adaquate; it's not. The food is consistently great (when it eventually comes and if the bartender asks and provides a menu). We used to frequent Mi Concina several times a month but we are now gun shy. Too many times we've been overlooked and not attended to. read more

I had a feeling this location would not have five stars. While food is consistently good, the service is consistently awful. Tonight, teen hostess could not even feign a pretend smile as she begrudgingly walked me to my table. Waiter took forever and the only time he visited my table was to pick up my credit card to pay. Another waiter refilled my tea for me. The only saving grace was a lovely food runner who was friendly and had a genuine smile. Management needs to step it up here BIG TIME!! read more

Top notch Tex Mex! I always dine at this location. The bartenders are all very attentive and know how to make an awesome handmade margarita. Pablo, Tito and Octavio. The patio is my favorite when the weather is right. My server tonight, Brianna, was wonderful. They still have all the same servers from 10 years ago with the exception of a a couple new. The Manager, Danielle, Alex and Kimber all know me by name and make a point to catch up on previous conversations or life events. This is a home away from home. The Bean Soup and Rico Salad are my favorite. I get the same thing almost every time. With a margarita! Try it out and you will probably see me there. Haha. read more

We typically close our work week out on Fridays at Mi Cocina - Lakeside - on Preston (Plano). Our teen daughters always insist on a booth - so who are we to argue? Jose (he joked that there are always several Jose's at a Mexican restaurant) by far exceeds our expectations every time we are lucky enough to get him and can cure a crappy work week. To narrow him down - we were in the Bar area in a booth on 3/4/2022 around 5:30 pm. He always knows our orders, has a great sense of humor and is great with our kids - and yes, even makes our sullen teens laugh (a miracle in itself). We are always so happy to have him in our area. He is a boss - give this guy a raise and don't ever let him go. I'm not one to spend time giving good reviews (usually a complainer) - you can look at my past reviews - so you should know he is great. read more

Walked into this location about 45 min ago (10 pm on Saturday night 11/26/16) and the place closes at 11. Sat at a booth near the bar and all we wanted was a couple of drinks to end the night and go home. These scumbags completely ignored us. At least 4 employees walked right past us without saying anything. No hi, no offer of a menu, nothing at all. I was curious to see how long this would go on so I said let's give this 10 min total and if no one says anything then we'll walk next door to Taverna Rossa. Of course 10 min passes and not a damn thing. Note to whatever inept jackass manages this place: if you can't get your lazy ass employees to keep from completely quitting an HOUR before closing then just close up shop early. It would be better than completely insulting customers who just want a drink and get ignored by your pack of idiots. In summary, F you. Have a good day. read more

Three months later...I was just reminded to write a review about Mi Cocina. EXCELLENT! First time in Plano, first time at Mi Cocina. We were in town for 4 days, eat here twice! (2 different Mi C. locations) If you struggle to find good tamales like mom made, come here, theirs are wonderful. read more

Mi Cocina is one of our favorite Mexican restaurants. The food and drinks are always great, but it is servers like Esmeralda who really put it over the top. We will always ask for Esmeralda's table and wait however long it takes. Best service ever. Kudo's to Esmeralda. Thank for always providing exceptional service. read more

Not a huge fan of mi cocina. This location just happens to be right next to another store I was going to at lunch... This trip was nothing different. The lunches are old, boring and remind me of how uncreative the menu is.. The chips are downright awful. Taco bell has better chips than here.. In fact they remind me of the really really cheap chips you get at SAMs... or at a sporting event... You know the kind that is always coupled with that nasty nacho cheese that comes in the large "value" cans. This place is such a joke.. What's worse.. The joke is on me. As I leave paying close to 14 bucks for a lunch that taste worse than a 2 dollar lunch at taco bueno.... read more

Mi Cocina /Taco Diner We are very impressed with all the "M Crowd" restaurants We've really never been disappointed at any of the locations. The Mi Cocina @ Shops @ legacy tend to be pretty busy all the time, but what do you expect its shops at legacy! Love the Brisket tacos. read more

The food is bland and overpriced. The menu is very expensive for what actually comes out on the plate. They need to invest in creating a better menu or recipes than on all that expensive furniture. Super loud in there. No better than Taco Bueno. Just because it looks nice, doesn't mean it tastes good. Also closes early. Be prepared to spend a small fortune if your getting drinks as well. I'd recommend Gloria's or somewhere less pretentious, or at least somewhere that you get what you pay for. BTW Taco Bueno is redoing their decor inside! Look out Mi Cocina!! read more

This is one of my favorite restaurants in Plano. Every time we crave Mexican food this is place to go. Thumbs up to Sunny! She made our night GREAT!!! She was the best service of all of my many many visits! Thanks to Sunny read more

I love this place! It has the best tex-mex around town and a very great bar too. This place is a more upscale restaurant, something you can get dressed up for, but for a decent price. For two people the bill is about $35, however, ordering drinks could make it pricey (but they are great and have a lot of alcohol!) My recommendations: Mama's Taco's for the entree, Mambo Taxi for the drink, and a side of queso for the FREE endless chips and salsa! The only thing kinda negative about this place is that it is super busy on Friday and Saturday night. Expect a wait because this is the place to be on a weekend night. But on a weeknight you should have no wait at all, so go then! read more

From the time my family and I came and sat down to the moment we left we had awful service. Our waitress Patricia wasn't nice, she didn't smile, she was rude and didn't listen when we ordered. I told her I wanted 2 enchiladas, she brought 1 out. When our food came it was cold and my food had a nat on it so I sent it back. The manager was very attentive to rectify the matter, but Patricia didn't care to correct the issues. Who wants a bug on their food?? My family and had to stop at another restaurant to eat after leaving this awful dinning experience. I highly recommend that people eat somewhere else. We will not be back!!! read more

Mi Cocina - Never again!! - Mexican Near Me - Plano, Texas

We went there yesterday and it was cool enough to eat out on the patio. Service was great, although our waiter never told us his name. I ordered the Ceviche de Camarones which was served fresh & citrus crisp with ripe bits of mango, avocado & jicama. I would give this dish & restaurant 5 stars but the shrimp had shell remnants & none of them had the intestinal vein removed. Sorry, but that is just sloppy on the chef / kitchen's part! read more

I absolutely loved this location! Easy parking, nice inside, good sized bar, great patio and fab service! I went in for lunch and the food came out hot, fresh and quickly. Our waiter kept our glasses full of water or diet coke and the chip baskets flowing. We started with queso and it came out at the perfect temp and of course more chips! We then each ordered something off the lunch menu. Portion size is perfect and if it wasnt for all the chips we ate prior to the meal we would have felt perfect to return to work(ie, didnt need an afternoon nap). I much prefer this location over the Shops. read more

I have been coming to this exact location since I was a young child. I have ALWAYS been satisfied with the service and food here, no complaints ever. But now that I am able to sit at the bar I must say I've never received more phenomenal service than I have from the Bartender Tito. He's is very open, friendly, and attends to every need with no room for error. He's quick and efficient so when you come in defiantly find out if he's working and enjoy yourself at the bar! read more

From the mouth of my boyfriend "the staff seemed like a bunch of blind mice with no master." The food was pretty typical from a Mexican restaurant. Servers were very friendly though. Overall nice laid back ambience and good experience. read more
