" This is a cute little restaurant with a lovely view of the golf course! The food is amazing, especially the al pastor tacos, which were hands-down some of the best I've ever had. The service was friendly, but they seemed a bit overwhelmed, which resulted in a longer wait time for our meals. Even though the wait was frustrating, the food did not disappoint, and I’d certainly return. All in all, a great little spot! " (*Curated Review*)

" This is a delightful little Mexican spot on the golf course! The tacos were definitely one of my favorites. It's also a lovely setting, especially outside when the weather is nice. That said, my food took quite a while to arrive, but the quality made it worthwhile. I will be back here again and again for their tasty offerings! " (*Curated Review*)

" Definitely a gem in the area! Cocina Mariposa has some seriously authentic flavors that remind me of my travels through Mexico. I tried the aguas frescas and was completely blown away by how refreshing they were! The only hiccup was a longer wait for my tacos, but the vibrant and fresh flavors were enough to keep me coming back. Would recommend for anyone looking for good Mexican food! " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently tried Cocina Mariposa and was genuinely impressed by the authenticity of the flavors. The Chile Relleno burrito was a standout dish, as it was both flavorful and well-constructed. I appreciated the freshness of ingredients used, as it really made a difference. Also, their agua fresca is a great refreshment, especially after a spicy meal! My only complaint would be related to the layout of the dining area. The outdoor setting is lovely, but at times it can feel crowded with minimal seating. Overall, a great place that I would love to return to! " (*Curated Review*)

" If you're in the area, don’t miss Cocina Mariposa! The seafood tacos are a must-have – they are undeniably fresh and packed with flavor. What made my experience even better were the friendly staff who truly care about customer satisfaction. I also enjoyed the view while sitting outside, adding a lovely touch to the meal. The only downside was the wait time, but for food this delicious, I can be patient. I left feeling satisfied and can't wait for my next visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Cocina Mariposa for lunch last week, and I left thoroughly impressed! The carne asada burrito was massive and overflowing with great flavors. I also loved how the meals were made fresh right before you, which is a big plus in terms of quality. The only downside was that the service a bit on the slower side during lunch. I highly recommend stopping by if you're in the area! " (*Curated Review*)

" I can't help but recommend Cocina Mariposa. The portions are massive, and the authenticity of their menu is evident! Each dish we ordered was flavorful, well-prepared, and fresh. The outdoor seating is an added bonus. However, we did experience a considerable wait for our orders—a common theme among other reviews. If you're craving authentic Mexican food, this is the place to go! " (*Curated Review*)
