Reviews for La Cocina in Clayton, NC

My new favorite place for Mexican food. Delicious food! Excellent and friendly service! I had the Caldo De Camaron (basically... shrimp soup) and I can't believe the amount of shrimp in it. I can't wait to go back and have it again. The service is one ofthe best experiences I've had in a restaurant since COVID and it was extremely refreshing! La Cocina is a strong five out offive!

New restaurant, very clean. I got the Burro a la Roque which had a great flavor. Salsa had a nice kick to it.

We knew by all the cars there all the time this must be a good place to eat. It was. Food was great. Waitress vanessa was... fantastic! Atmosphere was so comfortable. Very clean and organized. This will be our new place to dine for sure. Read more

DANGER! PLEASE BEWARE!!! On our last visit to La Cocina Clayton, my wife and I got take out as we frequently have done many... times prior. There were no issues with her ACC, or the order of guacamole. My order of chiles poblanos however, came with anasty surprise inside. A very sharp shard of wood that caused a pretty nasty cut in my mouth. Not ideal. I sent an email laterthat day through their website, but received no reply. I sent another email a week later. No reply. And one final email thefollowing week. I never received any reply and I forgot about it until going through my receipts and seeing the receipt fromthis visit. I decided to call today and requested to speak with a manager. I was put on hold and then had a conversation with agentleman who had nothing to say other than "that sometimes happens", regarding the wood shard, and that "they usually removeit". Furthermore, he refused to do anything to keep us as customers because, as he repeated, "it happened back in February andif you would have contacted us back then...", to which I reminded him that I did. Several times. He then fell into a repetitiveloop where it was essentially my fault because no one got back to me via email. It's a shame because the food was usually prettygood and we went there frequently. I do not appreciate the lack of concern or willingness to take ownership of what was clearlytheir negligence. I saved the receipt and several pictures of the shard of wood to show him if need be, but he seemeduninterested in doing the right thing by a long time customer. Please be careful if you dine there. If you have a problem, youmay be treated the way that I was. BEWARE. Read more

The service here was extremely fast, ordered an appetizer thinking the food would take some time to come out as the place was... quite packed...and yea, it came out with the food. The food was tasty, besides the ACP cheese being kinda soupy. The waitress &staff were nice. Read more

I feel really bad to give this place such a low rating but to be honest the food here was not great. The Nachos Supreme were... decent but my meal as well as my fiancées was not good at all. It was definitely not the type of food we were used to and sheeven made a comment saying that she did not like her meal after one bite and we still had to pay for it. I don?t know, thisplace wasn?t exactly special and I do feel bad giving it ONE star but I honestly would never come back. My burrito literally hadBARBEQUE sauce on it lol. It was kinda gross if I am being honest. Unfortunately, there are better options nearby that will makeyou happier! Read more

The food was awesome, come hungry. Great atmosphere. Drinks were cold. Cheese dip was hit and tasty. The place was huge inside.... Fully staffed. Friendly, efficient, clean!!! Read more

Went here, for my son's 22nd birthday. He, didn't like his food/acp (he has had this particular dish before, so he knows what it... is supposed be like), said it was watery. My, boyfriend said his chicken in his chimichanga meal, was dry and flavorless. I,received the wrong meal, didn't eat it. Chips were cold and hard, almost to the point of being stale, much prefer THIN and WARMchips. Salsa was good, nice flavor. Margarita, was not good, it was just a regular one, and the color was even off, didn't lookor taste right, also served in a beer mug. Waiter, was nice, only issue was, he couldn't understand English very well. I guessthat's why I didn't get what I ordered. I, ordered a chicken chimichanga, got chicken enchiladas. Read more
