" As someone who has sampled Mexican food from various regions, I have to speak highly of Cocina Mariposa. This restaurant delivers on authenticity, which can be hard to find, especially in this area! The tacos are delightful! Each one is packed with flavor, and I love the variety available. I also appreciated the vegan options on the menu, which are often overlooked in traditional Mexican eateries. The atmosphere was cozy, although I noticed they can get quite busy during lunch hours. Be prepared to wait a bit during peak times, but the quality of the food makes it worth your while! " (*Curated Review*)

" After hearing rave reviews about Cocina Mariposa, I decided to check it out. The hype is absolutely true! The fish tacos were incredible, and I also enjoyed their amazing bean dip. The outdoor area always provides a nice setting to eat. One flaw was the long wait for my food; I was in a bit of a hurry. I would recommend calling ahead if you're planning to visit during peak hours. Overall, it's definitely worth a visit for delicious Mexican fare! " (*Curated Review*)

" Cocina Mariposa is a must-visit for anyone looking for authentic Mexican food! I ordered the carne asada fries and was blown away by the portion size. They definitely do not skimp on ingredients here! The flavors were vibrant and the dish was cooked to perfection. The staff is friendly and welcoming, although we did have to wait longer than usual for our food due to high demand. Nonetheless, the atmosphere was pleasant with an outdoor area that provides a nice view of the surroundings. Overall, a wonderful experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" If you're looking for Mexican food done right, you need to check out Cocina Mariposa! Each dish I tried was packed with flavor and so fresh! The tacos were definitely some of the most authentic I've ever had. I loved the little details—like homemade chips and the fresh salsa. The only downside was the slower service; they must be very popular because it was busy! Regardless, I will definitely be back for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" I've been meaning to try Cocina Mariposa after hearing all the buzz about it, and let me tell you, it did not disappoint! The fish tacos were outstanding, filled with fresh ingredients that were bursting with flavor. The ambiance is lovely with a view of the golf course, which made our meal even more enjoyable. We also tried the enchiladas, and they were some of the best I've had. The only downside was we had to wait a bit for our food, but once it arrived, it was worth every minute. I will definitely be back! Highly recommend it. " (*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*)

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*)
