The ambience was very enjoyable. It was much nicer than most Mexican restaurants. The server was also great but unfortunately I didn't catch his name. He even brought our beers with a cocktail glass with salt, which was a nice touch. The SALSA was too HOT! We tried a couple of them, & we couldn't taste anything for the heat. I usually like a little heat, but this was over the top hot. My husband felt the same way & I've talked to a couple other people since then & they said the same thing. We asked the waiter if there was a mild salsa, but he said there was not. I would certainly encourage you to consider making a milder one. I ordered the crispy enchiladas served with ensalada y avocado, along with beans & rice. I also ordered one tamale to try. Everything was delicious. Very good quality food. The tamale was one of the best I've ever eaten. My husband ordered the brisket tacos & found them too greasy, which is unusual for him; however he was agreeable to eating there again, but would try another dish. We will be back, but will just skip the salsa & brisket tacos! read more

We came here for an early Mother's Day celebration, and there were some ups and downs. We were greeted and taken to our seats by friendly waiters. We ordered our food and I got the crispy taco dinner. I will say the place was busy, but we had to wait nearly an hour for our food, and they didn't even bring everyone's food out. It took another 15 minutes for them to bring the rest of the food. Overall, the chips and queso was very good, and the food came out fresh and hot. My tacos were delicious. Our waiter was very nice and apologetic about the wait time. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place had a very nice interior and had clean bathrooms, to go along with a great ambiance.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Overall, this place gave us a pretty solid experience and I would recommend it if you are looking for good Mexican food in the Tulsa area. read more

I hadn't been to Mi Cocina in a few years, so I was excited about a girls dinner at a place I remembered loving. The hostess was very friendly and seated us right away. But from the moment our server arrived at our table, it went downhill. He wasn't friendly, our glasses stayed empty for the entire meal, and it took 25 minutes to get our check after asking. (In fact, we had to ask the hostess to find our server.) On top of that, the food was...not good. Not a single one of us enjoyed our entrees, as they were either bland or way too spicy. And the prices are fairly high compared to its peers, so this is very disappointing. Overall, a very disappointing experience. read more

Well I didn't even take a pic of what I ordered because the presentation wasn't very great. I got enchiladas and rice and it's pretty subpar. Their drinks are pretty good. The guac was kinda bland. The price is just not great for the quality of the food. read more

Mi Cocina - Sangria - Mexican Near Me - Tulsa, Oklahoma

I made a reservation and they didn't have a table ready for me. Food and service were good though.

This visit changed my opinion of Mi Cocina. Last time I ate here, I swore I wouldn't come back, but today I was with a group that came here. I had a totally opposite experience. I love the ambiance. It's very modern with lots of black decor and spaciousness. We were a large party, so we got a large table with a lazy Susan, perfect for sharing. Several of us ordered a specialty cocktail, a margarita mixed with Sangria. It was delicious and a bit strong. I ordered the #3 on the lunch menu, which is 2 cheese enchiladas with chili gravy and beans and rice. The enchiladas were quite good. There's nothing that says Tex-Mex quite like chili gravy over cheese enchiladas. The refries were very flavorful. Sadly, I think refries in most restaurants are a bit bland and watered down. Not these. Several people at our table got Quesadillas. They had a nice presentation which included slices of avocados. My daughter got a brisket dish which had a good flavor but was a little greasy. It comes with cilantro rice which is much better than the rice that comes with enchiladas. The service was excellent. No complaints there. Our server had a large table with people arriving at different times and wanting separate checks and he gave us perfect service with a smile. read more

Great food. Tacos de brisket is a delectable meal I would highly recommend. Their salsa is perfect too. Just enough spice for a good zing, but not going to burn your mouth off. They weren't that busy, but our server could have been more attentive. read more

There is street parking and parking in a shared lot to the right of the restaurant and behind it. We typically have to park about a block or two away. We stopped in on a busy Saturday night and were able to get a table right away. It had been a while since our last visit, the chips and salsa were brought quickly. I love this salsa has it has a quick to it but is a little too spicy for my husband. The chips are good a little thicker than other places. I love the mambo taxi on the rocks, it's my go to when we have dinner here. I tried something new and got the shrimp tacos which had pieces of bacon, I really enjoyed them. There was a good portion of shrimp. I didn't love the green rice, it was different but I am glad I got a side of creamy and yummy refried beans. Our waitress was busy but did check in and provide good service. read more

So I've lived in Tulsa all my life and this was my first time going here. It's was a very nice space but didn't feel like the price point fit the style. It kind of felt like a fine dining space with Charleston/ cheddar price points which was nice The service was good. I got to practice speaking Spanish. It did take a away for the food to come out but they were packed Food: Quesadilla: 7:10 TACOS DE CAMARONES: 8.5/10 very good Guacamole: basic but good Chips: 5/10 I wasn't a fan of the chips kinda felt stale Salsa: 4/10 felt like it was crushed tomatoes out of a can Will be back read more

Very sad. This place has so much potential but the service is garbage. Every single time we order something, in person, through DoorDash, or even through their app, we have at least one item missing. After the 4th time we called and spoke to the manager to let him know we have had frequent issues with things missing. We just wanted them to correct the issue as we enjoy their food. I went back tonight and placed my order in person, listing each item to be sure everything was there. The woman who took my order was friendly unlike the previous person who ignored me at the window until another coworker told her to assist me. Once I got my order I sat the bags down on a table and started to look over everything. I had typed out everything on my phone that was included in the meal and reviewed what was in my bags. After spending $89 I wanted to be sure it was all there. I was missing the rice that came with the meal. The manager asked if I needed help with my bags but I advised I was missing the rice and he did go get them and gave me a side of refried beans. I wish they would address the missing items issue. I don't know if we will go back after this since it's been a consistent issue. read more

To think good food can be found anywhere isn't true. The spur of the moment decision was great for me. I enjoyed the calm and great environment. The seating and layout of the restaurant is nice and fun. Once seated at a booth/table style seating, the host and server were very attentive. Justin W. was patient, knowledgeable, and helpful when making menu selections. The menu has a loooooot of options for the type of establishment it was. There is a great menu Monday - Friday till 4 PM that gives smaller portions, with a lower cost than the everyday menu. Because I sadly have to be selective what I am able to eat, I was able to create the ultimate, just enough, and tasty lunch. I had two Cheese and Spinach Enchiladas with sour cream sauce and slices of avocado yum! My drink of choice was the Mambo Limousine. That was a great drink. Not too fruity and not too watered down. My friend ordered the Tacos De Brisket. The meat in the tacos was tender, and the tacos were juicy. Along with a fancy mojito. The mojito was so pretty looking. Looking at some of the reviews, some didn't have as great as an experience as me. Hopefully, if they try again, they will have a better experience like we did. Happy Yelping! read more

Food was great and service even better! We were lucky to have Amy G as a server and she was absolutely phenomenal. Our table of 5 all ordered different drinks and never did we go thirsty or wanting anything. Her kindness and service alone was worth the visit and the great dishes were an amazing accompaniment. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Perhaps it was the warm spring evening or the setting of the sun as we sat on the patio, but the ambiance was amazing, a cozy feeling brought on by the growing pink hues of the sky as we enjoyed some drinks and visited.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Further, the service was exemplary with our waiter Gustavo, taking great care to make absolutely certain everything was to our liking. In fact, it was just the right amount of interaction, he was timely and pleasant, and conversed with us without overstaying his welcome. Rather, we quite enjoyed the experience provided. The food was excellent, especially what I had - the crispy chicken enchiladas verde. I will definitely have that again, and I hope to sit again in Gustavo's section! read more

Our server was Savana and she was excellent. Very pleasant and professional in every way. Promptly refilled our beverages and water. Answered our questions about menu items and made appropriate suggestions. My Chicken and Rice soup was outstanding. The Flan, to die for. Nicely decorated for the Holidays. read more

Mi Cocina - Interior - Mexican Near Me - Tulsa, Oklahoma

Although a Texas based chain restaurant, I find their food unusually good. The slow cooked shredded brisket in tacos and burritos is worth the visit. The salsa is something I would drink in copious amounts if I could get away with it. Their spinach enchiladas stacked with stir-fried veggies are the best veggie enchiladas I've ever had and trust me that means something. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I enjoy their outdoor patio when weather permits.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] This restaurant has been consistently great for years. This restaurant has been a safe bet at every location I've ever visited. Thank you for creating tasty food. read more

They have a vegan section on the menu. It only has three items but one can order without having to ask all of the questions to unearth the veganitude of an order. The food is a pretty good chain Tex-Mex experience, certainly one of the better Tex-Mex places with vegan options in Tulsa. The service was prompt and friendly. read more

Mi Cocina - Vegan menu- three items. - Mexican Near Me - Tulsa, Oklahoma

Went in for dinner and had a 20 minute wait around 6pm which was fine. So went to the bar to get a drink while others shopped. Sat there for 15 minutes and was not acknowledged by the manager who was behind the bar making drinks or the other girl that was helping. I tried to be patient but it became a real problem for me. This place needs to learn how to acknowledge people that are coming in to spend money instead I felt invisible. There were 4 girls behind me doing the same thing. We all left and I will not be back. Sub par food anyway with much better options for Mexican food in Tulsa. read more

I want to begin this review by saying that Kyle is an awesome waiter, and he did a fantastic job. My friends and I went to Mi Cocina on Saturday evening, and we sat at a table in the bar area. It was busy, but we expected that on the weekend. It took awhile for our waiter to come to the table, but we soon realized that he was the only waiter working the bar area. There are 10+ tables in that section, so having only one waiter in that section is completely unreasonable. However, Kyle did his best to take care of us, and we were impressed with what he was able to do as one person. When we got our first round of frozen margaritas, they weren't frozen. Kyle was doing his best to keep chips and salsa at the table, and he got our queso order in quickly. The salsa was great, spicier than normal, but that is a good thing in my opinion. The white queso was okay... kind of watery. We put in another drink order, and we were half way through our food before they came out - it took about 45 minutes. My next drink was on the rocks, and it was great. The next round of frozen drinks for my friends were better as well. I think they just put the first round out before they had time to freeze. It took a long time to get our food. There were 4 of us. Two of us ordered nachos, and they were excellent. One of us ordered the enchilada dinner, and she said hers was great! I originally ordered the poblano chicken enchiladas, but they ran out of the poblano cream sauce. So I ordered the crispy chicken enchiladas. They were great and came with a little salad that was an unexpected treat. Towards the end of our 3 hour dinner, the manager realized that more staff was needed and started helping. It was just a little too late. Overall, I would say, the food was good, but the restaurant should be more prepared for the busy weekend crowd. read more

We have given Mi Cocina several chances, but this last time was the most disappointing. The food has always been subpar. We always expect to leave super satisfied and the food always falls short. This time, the meat was pretty flavorless and the taco shells were completely covered in grease. We ate some of the meat from the inside. The rice was dry and tasteless. Also, it seemed as though they missed our order because it took a really long time to get our food - other tables that came in after us were eating their meals way before us. The service was the best part of our experience! Our waitress was very friendly and apologetic about the wait time. We aren't rushing to come back. read more

Mi Cocina - Greasy tortillas - Mexican Near Me - Tulsa, Oklahoma

Mi Cocina was a pleasant stop on Cherry street that I will most definitely visit again. Tulsa is a hub for Mexican food so whenever I go, I am always excited to try something new. FOOD : Let's cut to the chase here.. everyone just wants to know how the food was, duh. Well let's start with the salsa.. basically, my mouth is still on fire. Okay, not really.. - but kind of. The salsa is delicious and very fresh, but also very hot! We also ordered some queso blanco that was worth getting another 10 times, would definitely recommend. I ordered my classic chicken fajitas and was pleasantly surprised by their approach / spin to this dish in putting three wedges of fried potatoes on top.. interesting, but also surprisingly delicious. Somehow it paired well, so I just went with it. In terms of the chicken.. we'll I am drooling just thinking about it. I didn't get a single piece of chewy / fatty disgustingness, so that's always a win. I LOVED how it was seasoned and could've had three more breasts had they brought it out. I was a little bummed about the lack of bell peppers, there was about a fourth of a green bell pepper and a giant mountain of white onion... kinda lame, but didn't ruin the dish for me. I also really enjoyed the lack of oil that was on the plate, sometimes fajitas can be iffy and you'll get more oil then you will fajita - not here though, thank God. My sister also got the fajita and loved it, my mom liked her dish but my grandparents weren't super thrilled about theirs. Gramps said his was preeettyy cold, which isn't fun, and my grandma just wasn't dazzled by her plate. Overall, I'd give my fajitas a 8/10, the table at large would give the dishes in total about a 6. SERVICE / ATMOSPHERE : The service here is awesome. The waiters are overly nice and friendly and make you feel right at home. They definitely take care of you and have you feeling warm and welcome which I really appreciate. I think that's what my grandparents love the most about this place! The atmosphere is very upscale.. I was honestly surprised it was a Mexican place, and genuinely a bit skeptical.. usually the best Mexican is a hole in the wall gem that you'd never guess would change your life. However, I was pleasantly surprised at how up to par they were and the way they have spun Mexican to work in the aesthetic and vibe they want. It's very modern and dim inside, filled with beautiful art and a view into the kitchen while the chefs work their tails off. They also have outdoor seating that is beautiful! Little random insider tips - this place gets busy, so try and aim for stopping in before 6/6:30 when the crowds rev up. Also, they cook with canola oil for those who may be concerned. Lastly, they don't have black beans.. which is a major bummer, but it is what it is. Overall, I really enjoyed my experience here and would definitely come back! I don't think this is a spot for the family as it is more pricey, but a great date night, night out with friends, or even a business outing -- mi cocina would make a great spot. read more

Husband's classic margarita was basically water and lime... tall glass that tries to look impressive. Barely drank any and server asked if he wanted another. When answered with "does it look like I liked this one? I barely drank it' he just shrugged it off. This was at end of meal. No offer to comp drink. My "bacon wrapped camerones tacos" were baby shrimp and chopped cooked bacon sprinkled on corn tortillas.... Certainly not WRAPPED shrimp! Husband's brisket burrito was flat-top grilled" - never have we ever experienced a grilled burrito. Meat tasted good but that was about it. My mambo taxi cocktail was the only piece of this dinner that met with expectation. Will not be returning. Huge disappointment and decline from previous food experiences in this restaurant. read more

Always great service, delicious food and fantastic drinks! The famous Mambo Taxi to other signature mango/strawberry margaritas. Chips are fresh and plentiful and outside seating with music brings your senses back to Mexico vibes. read more

My experience was horrible. My server was being very rude and would not stop serving drinks. The food was not very good either. I've never had to pee so bad when I left with all the Dr.Pepper that he served my table. read more

When you pay $10 for what's a small drink anyway, you want the glass to be full, not missing an inch worth of the drink at the widest part of the glass. Normally I like this place, but not impressed with the service or drinks tonight. I will be back, but I hope for better next time. And fuller glasses! read more

Mi Cocina - Yes, it was this low. The Mambo Taxi. - Mexican Near Me - Tulsa, Oklahoma

Warning : This is the crispy taco plate. I'd expect more from ANY restaurant. Taco Bell, Del Taco and Taco Bueno would be a better taco. These were like a bad home taco kit and a serious lack of accoutrements. I pictured two fried tacos (you know, fresh like a respectable restaurant) not prefab "shells". The frozen skinny margarita with a grand mariner float was solid, the skinny on the rocks was not. Chips / Salsa were good. All in all it just was way below what I think anyone would expect but sadly I'm not alone in these sentiments as this yelp page reads like a bunch of empty managerial apologies and no changes to the outcomes. Sad food. Too sad to believe. read more

Mi Cocina - Crispy Taco Plate - Mexican Near Me - Tulsa, Oklahoma

Not much to say here. The food is decent, chips and salsa are so so, queso was flavorless, the service was very good, nice interior. The prices are absurd, and do not reflect a good value. I walked out of there having paid (with tax and tip) $24 for three small brisket tacos and a little side of rice. I would expect to pay this at a state fair when my kid is tired and cranky and I'll pay just about anything to get them fed. Perhaps I am spoiled by other traditional Mexican restaurants who are often a very good value, but this felt like a huge cost for the quality of food. Would not return. My dining companions enjoyed the Margarita Taxi. read more

We did not have a great experience on Mother's Day. It took awhile to have our order taken but after that the food took 45 minutes to come out and when it did one was completely wrong and one didn't come out at all. We did not want to wait for the entree to be remade so we just asked to have it taken off the bill and it was annoying but fine. However, the missing entree took another 15 minutes to come out after everyone else had their food. No explanation, no apology, no visit from the manager. We thought the food was below average but the rest of our party thought it was decent. I understand things happen but with no attempt to fix the issue I will not return to nor recommend this restaurant. read more

Quite possibly the worst service we have ever had. The food was decent, but not good enough to make up for the poor service. I had to literally go get the hostess who had to find the manager in order to find our waitress who had been MIA for 20+ minutes, and we didn't even get an apology. Will not return. read more

Our most recent visit was sadly far below our expectations. Admittedly, we had a new server who forgot to put in our drink orders and rarely returned to the table after greeting us initially, but the more upsetting part is that he was too busy doing closing duties to provide service. He was folding napkins and restocking the expo station. We could see him. We flagged down the manager not one, not two, but three times! Isn't that a clear sign that something needs to be addressed? After being flagged down, the manager ended up bringing us our checks (and correcting them when they were inaccurate) and bringing us our to-go boxes because our server did not return to the table after our food came out, and not once did the manager apologize or verbally recognize that there was a problem. Also, the food quality wasn't what we're used to from Mi Cocina. Previously, sides of vegetables contained a colorful and fresh variety of greens and carrots (compare to my previous yelp photos), but this time, a side of vegetables was cabbage and mushrooms. Strange and not very good, especially when I know it has been so much better. I have also previously been able to substitute pork for chicken, but was not allowed at this visit. Not even with an upcharge. This place needs to work on their service, and not just the servers. Inattentive managers that don't identify and rectify problems is a problem here. Also, food quality and consistency could be improved as well. read more

#fatjared say...Even though I came here with a big group of people, which is usually tough to judge on, this is definitely above average Mexican food. Just for starters, my grading criteria never change. From day 1 I have said if I have ANY complaints whatsoever, I can't and won;t give 5 stars, because 5 stars is perfect, and if I have a complaint it was NOT perfect. I almost always try to stay with local places as well. But this is not a massive chain, only more locations down in TX. The menu (sorry I did not get a picture of it) is big enough to be dangerous, but not overwhelming. They have all the classics, they have a few really cool specialties, like breakfast options, and brisket tacos, and everything is very well priced also. My wife ordered the 50/50 fajitas, with shrimp and beef. Came out sizzling, the meat was good, the tortillas were good, the veggies were good. Everything was as I said, good. I got the Tilapia verde. I would say the fish was cooked extremely well and had a perfect taste. The irce was cooked extremely well, the veggies, Which I ordered a double portion of, came with a bit of potato, and were also good. The thing that stood out to me the most was the salsa choices. The base salsa they bring out complimentary has a little kick, which I enjoy, but not too much where everyone won't like it. They also have other options that are more chipotle taste, and much spicier, which is unique. Overall, as you can see, all was good, but nothing was great. Mexican is like burgers. It's honesty hard to mess up, but it's also hard to separate yourself from the pack. Because of the chips and salsa, and the unique menu, that put Mi Cocina above other, but nothing stupendous enough to make this a perfect experience. You won't not like this place I promise! Good job MI CO! read more

We made a reservation & were seated immediately. Our server was so accommodating, and answered all of our questions (we were first time guests). Drinks were great- mambo taxi, mambo limousine and spicy margarita. The server brought several samples of dressings for the salad to ensure I liked what I got, and provided excellent recommendations for enchiladas that my husband ordered. We also were treated to complimentary flan. We will definitely be back! One of the nicest, best tasting upscale Mexican restaurants I've visited! read more

Food was mediocre. Service brought the rating to a 2 star. We were sat in the bar area. The restaurant was not full at all. There was staff present, enough to offer excellent customer service. We were given refills in form of a can, which was odd. But that was the inn be my refill offered. As a proud latino I like to support Latin businesses, but this one let me down. Suggestion, bring your staff together and retrain on the basic essentials needed to execute excellence. Ambiance was great, but again the service. At this point in time I will not recommend this place or visit. read more
