" This place has really gone downhill. I've been a loyal customer for years, but my last few experiences have been disappointing. The prices keep rising, and the portions have shrunk. My bowl of rice was literally only a handful, and the meat seemed less than generous. The staff was friendly, but I left feeling like I spent too much for what I received. I’m not sure if I’ll be returning anytime soon unless I hear things have changed. " (*Curated Review*)

" Having moved here from California, it’s been challenging to find authentic Mexican food, but La Cocina has been a pleasant surprise! The tortillas were fresh and hand-made, and the flavors were robust and satisfying. My favorite was the mole sauce which truly reminded me of home. The restaurant was clean, and the staff was very helpful. It’s an excellent place for family gatherings, and I especially enjoyed the vibrant decor and music that took me back to my travels in Mexico. I highly recommend this place! " (*Curated Review*)

" La Cocina is fantastic! Each time I go, I discover a new favorite dish. The service is consistently quick and friendly, making it a great place for lunch during workdays. I ordered the chimichangas last week and they were crispy and perfectly filled with spicy chicken. Also, I love how generous they are with their chips and salsa. The only small complaint I have is that the place can get really crowded, which is a testament to how much people love this restaurant! " (*Curated Review*)

" La Cocina has always been one of my favorites! The atmosphere feels so vibrant, and the decor is charming. The food is consistently great! My go-to is the shrimp fajitas, which are perfectly cooked and full of flavor. I love how they encourage you to try the house-made salsas that complement every bite. Each visit confirms why this place has such a strong community following. Don't miss out! " (*Curated Review*)

" La Cocina is fantastic! We've eaten here a few times, and each visit has been enjoyable. The food is always fresh, and the menu is diverse, catering to various tastes. I particularly loved their carne asada, which is packed with flavor and served with a hearty side of rice. The service is generally quick, and the ambiance is lively. One time we did have to wait longer for a table, but it was worth it for the experience. Highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" I tried La Cocina after hearing great things, but I just found it to be average. The service was friendly, but the food was a bit bland for my taste. I ordered the chicken mole and expected more depth in flavor. The ambiance is nice, with colorful decorations, but I felt like the food didn't live up to the hype. I would maybe come back to try something else. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had rather mixed feelings about my visit to La Cocina. While the atmosphere was lively and the staff friendly, my shrimp burrito was disappointing. It lacked the variety of ingredients I expected and felt more like a shrimp wrap rather than a burrito. The service was prompt, but I didn’t think the prices aligned with what was served. However, my friend’s steak fajitas looked fantastic and I might consider giving it another chance based on that alone. " (*Curated Review*)
