“ I haven't had La Cocina in a very long while. I don't even remember what I had. Mexican food is not one of my favorite foods but I do like it. I know ala Cocina has a pretty good reputation. I scanned the online menu and it didn't take me long to find the birria tacos. It came with two sides. I decided to try the charro beans and Spanish rice. The email I received said my wait would be about 20 minutes. I drove to the restaurant and waited in my car for a bit. When I walked in the restaurant there was someone attending to some tables. The was a sign to ring the bell to get some service but the waitress saw me. I told her that I had an online order and within a few minutes my food was ready. When I got home I noticed there was chips and salsa in my bag as well as the other items I ordered. I didn't realize my meal came with chips and salsa. I guess that's not out of the ordinary but it was a pleasant surprise. Anyway I started with the rice and then with the beans. There was nothing really special with the rice but I don't think I've had charro beans. They seem to be beans with what seemed like vienna sausage. It didn't taste bad. I really didn't know what to expect. On the to birria tacos. The definite star of the show. Being that my food was take out there was some sogginess to the taco shell but the tacos held up pretty good. I dipped the first taco in the consommé (yes, I googled it). It was very savory and the meat was tender. I don't eat a lot of authentic Mexican food but I know what good food tastes like. I definitely would recommend the birria tacos from La Cocina. ”
“ I am updating my previous review which I will list below. Anyone who doesn't find their AUTHENTIC dishes amazing, is probably used to thinking that Mexican food consists of chicken quesadillas and queso. Try it for yourself. Order the Chile poblano meal and love your life choices! LAST REVIEW: Quite literally the best Mexican restaurant in Mobile. I have been going here for years. They have to best chillaquiles I've ever eaten. Great lengua and other authentic specialty items. I have never had anything here that didn't make my mouth want to dance and sing!!! ”
“ First timer here. The customer service is friendly. I had the burrito Jalisco with shredded beef and it was good. It was about $8. Worth every penny! This isn't the Mexican food I am used to but La Cocina is good. I'll definitely come back the next I'm in town. ”
“ I finally decided to stop and try this little spot. I used to work in the area and lunch time was crowded so I just took them off my list until today. The place is small, parking is limited but the customer service is wonderful and the price is right. The price is comparable to most authentic Mexican restaurants in the area so let's get to the food. I chose the Street Tacos platter $12!for three tacos with rice and beans and chips and salsa. Great deal!! Once I ordered the hostess told me it would be about 10 minutes. It's a small place about 12 tables and several parties where leaving when I arrived so It wasn't crowded. The chips and salsa were great. Chips didn't taste or look like they were from a bag so I really enjoyed it. All of the tacos were delicious. I got them togo but the weather was bad so I decided not to wait. It was plenty of food and they didn't hold back on the servings size in each taco. The rice and beans were tasty. All in all it was good. It wasn't anything that especially stood out to WOW me but I enjoyed it. It's a great location with fantastic service and good food. I'll definitely check 'em out again ”
