" La Cocina de Petra is a little gem! The breakfast burrito I had was colossal and absolutely delicious – filled with fresh ingredients. I also appreciated the friendly service. However, the decor could use an update as it feels a bit run down. Overall, I'd recommend trying it for the food. Just maybe take it to go! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was impressed with La Cocina de Petra. The chicken tamales were outstanding and had a delightful taste! The service was attentive, and I received my food quickly. On the downside, I felt the place could do with a refresh as it seemed a bit grimy. Regardless, the food quality keeps me coming back for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" Great food served with warmth at La Cocina de Petra! Their homemade salsa is a must-try, and the portions were more than generous. The only downside was the seating, which felt a bit cramped. But the authentic flavors and pleasant staff made it worth it to enjoy my meal! I will be returning for sure. " (*Curated Review*)

" I am always on the lookout for authentic food, and my search led me to La Cocina de Petra. The asada burrito was heavy and packed full! It’s always served with a smile, but I wished for the dining area to be a bit cleaner and organized. When you get down to it, the food quality is wonderful; I left with a happy stomach. " (*Curated Review*)

" I frequently try La Cocina de Petra and keep coming back primarily for their carnitas – they're the best around! Each bite is filled with authenticity and taste that reminds me of my grandmother's cooking. The service is always friendly, and there's a sense of community among the patrons. However, I have seen cleanliness issues that need to be addressed. Still, the heartwarming food makes it worthwhile for me. " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience at La Cocina de Petra was quite varied. While the food had great flavors, especially their enchiladas, I did find their cleanliness a bit concerning. The ambiance is charming in a very rustic way, but a little cleanliness would go a long way in enhancing the dining experience. The servers were lovely though, and they really do make an effort. If you’re in the area, I’d say give it a shot but maybe eat outside or get takeout! " (*Curated Review*)
