    Lunch ##3 - Two Cheese Enchiladas
    Melissa C.

    We recently traveled to the area to visit family and decided to stop by Mi Cocina for lunch. It had been a while since our last visit, and we were happy to find that the experience was just as enjoyable as we remembered. We were greeted and seated promptly, and our friendly waiter quickly brought out our strawberry aguas frescas. The lunch menu offers a nice variety of reasonably priced options. I chose the Number 3 lunch special, which included two cheese enchiladas, while my partner ordered the Number 9 with two sunset enchiladas with chicken. Our food arrived in about 10 minutes, and everything was delicious. One thing we especially appreciated was that, even though the restaurant was fairly full, it was still quiet enough to comfortably carry on a conversation. We'll definitely be back the next time we're visiting family in the area.

    Q: How often can one update their local Mi Cocina review? A: as often as I effing want. With 2026 upon us, I knew my first Friday evening of the new year would be spent with a mambo taxi Tajin rim in hand. I love Mi Cocina! I frequent this joint once a week for my marg fix and while I will never be the type to participate in a dry January I did wonder if I needed my usual sunset enchiladas smothered in queso order. Well, ofc I did! Service is always fantastic. I intentionally sit at the bar or at a booth in the bar. If I'd change anything about this experience, it would be creating a route to the restaurant where small children don't pass through the bar. A girl can bike over 50miles, take a quick 5 mile walk and intentionally be catching a nice buzz off her marg but when I have to hear or see small children, it just really kills the vibe in a real way. Unfortunately, there's only one path into the main dining area so I don't foresee any improvement occurring on this front. Highly recommend the mambo taxi! After an extremely long 7+ months here, I stand ten toes this drink does its job. Great service from all staff here, I love the plate I order and the TVs in the bars always have games or highlights on.

    Thisbrestaurant has many locations in the DFW and I finally got the chance to try them. The food and service are amazing here. If you want great Mexican food in a fancy atmosphere this is your place.

    Met up with a couple Nancy has known for several years, Robert & Linda. We ate lunch at Mi Cocina in Plano. Nancy had the "Taco Salad"; Picadillo Beef, Romaine, Iceberg Lettuce, Aged Cheddar, Jack Cheese, Avocado, Tomato, Pico de Gallo, y Tortilla Strips. I ordered the "Tacos Habana"; Chile Adobo Chicken, Onion, Cilantro, Corn Tortillas, Pica-Pica, Avocado Ensalada, y Arroz Verde. They also provide you with fresh chips and red sauce to enjoy while there, and they refill often. We chatted for some time before ordering, while eating, and after eating. It's been a long time since they last saw each other and had a lot to catch up on. Our food arrived, and all was a beautiful presentation. Each Mexican Restaurant serves its food differently, and they did that with the Taco Salad. The Shell is filled with Picadillo Beef to the top with the rest of the goodies underneath and all around. Nancy enjoyed all that she ate, and I finished off the rest - and it was all good stuff. Nicely seasoned beef and very tasty Taco Salad. My Tacos Havana was also very good, and a good amount of everything. I ate all of mine - no leftovers here. The chips and red sauce were also really good, with just the right amount of spiciness. Check out Mi Cocina at; http://www.micocina.com - they have several locations all around Dallas & Fort Worth area - and then some.

    I recently went to Mi Cocina with family on a Friday night. We didn't have a reservation and we only had a short wait. Though they had a large party down the middle of the room & it was hard to get between their chairs, I'm not sure how the servers kept coming back & forth. Our server also seemed new & nervous. He didn't write down things we asked for so we usually had to ask a couple times. The food was great! I usually order the chili relleno which I don't think is on the menu but man it's so good! This time I decided to try a salad. Omg! It was AMAZING! When I first got it, I was like this thing is so small but then I started eating it & it lost its shape & figured out it was huge. I didn't finish it. I do wish there was slightly more chicken & a little less dressing but those are easy requests. Overall I enjoyed the food & would go back.

    Dinner at Mi Cocina was such a vibe! Came here with my husband for a date night and everything was spot on. We got the beef fajitas -- they came out sizzling, loaded with perfectly grilled steak, onions, peppers, and crispy potato wedges. So good! All the sides were fresh -- guac, pico, beans, rice, and chips -- super tasty and plenty to share. We sat outside on the patio with a glass of red wine, and it was just the perfect chill evening. Service was great too -- friendly and fast without being too much. Definitely one of our go-to spots now when we're in Plano!

    revising it to be a 4 star due to the temperature set -- way freezing than needed. Need to make sure customers feel not as in a freezer.

We were very pleasantly surprised. It's even better in my opinion. The people are very warm and friendly. The food is really delicious. I love that they bring not only good salsa with their fresh hot chips, but also a tomatillo sauce and a black bean dip. We've now eaten there several times. The taco meat has a nicely charred flavor. The tamales were very good. (I'm picky about my tamales. I've tried their ranchero sauce, chili con carne, and sour cream sauce. None of them disappoint. Their rice isn't dry like it is at many other Tex-Mex places. And their $5.00 all day frozen margaritas are worth it. We usually go for the lunch specials that run until 4:00. They don't have mole on the menu, yet. I'm looking forward to their future specials. In this day and age where it's hard to keep a restaurant open, I really hope this one survives. It's not fancy, but the food and service make it worth it. And I'm a picky person when it comes to spending money on food I don't make myself.

I ordered the nachos with carne asada. They came on a huge platter with dollops of guacamole, sour cream and pico de gallo in the middle. They use the same cheese as the queso in a bowl so it's more fluid which I LOVED! The carne asada was diced small and cooked to perfection...crispy outside and tender inside with not a bit of fat or gristle. They were so good I couldn't stop! I planned on taking half with me but ended up eating practically the whole platter. Their iced tea is freshly brewed and is also delicious. I'll be back soon to try some of their other dishes.
