Reviews for Cocina Mexicana Restaurant in Tacoma, WA
The chicken tortilla soup had good broth but the chicken tasted grilled and had no flavor. The Carne asada fajitas were under ... flavored and a little oily. Read more
Tasted awful, presentation cold,, beans oversalted, looked like they had been sitting for hours. Left without eating what I ... ordered. Waitress was friendly but service was poor. place reads of pine sol, so thick your shoes stick to the floor. Read more
This is a great hidden gem with good vibes and ambiance, just a little off the beaten path of 38th Street chain restaurants.... Great customer service and we had one of the most incredible fresh Jalapeño Margarita's on our second visit, thanks to ourwonderful waitress who accommodated our request. We shared a steak fajitas and a chille relleno. Food is good, haven't hadanything too spectacular yet but we're going to keep trying. On my prior visit we tried their Morena specialty the 'Pina Rellenade Camaron'. I have had similar dishes before and loved them. This one was just DROWNED in queso. Toooooo much cheese. I scopedit out and let it sit on the plate (about 2 cups full, no joke) and yet the pineapple, veggies, and shrimp were seasoned andspectacular. I might attempt it again with no or little queso. That being the case, it's still nice to see not your averageAmerican offerings although each time I've gone they are out of each of their soups. I'll keep trying! Read more
Horrible restaurant. Should not even be considered “Mexican food”. Being Mexican myself and growing up in Southern... California, I know my way around Mexican food. The service was horrible. There was 2 other parties there besides my family. Ittook them forever to greet us, and to bring us our food. Most of it was cold and the food was very cheap and Americanized. Wesent a few plates back because of how bad the quality was. From service to food, I would not suggest this restaurant to ANYONE.Please don’t waste your money at this place. Read more
Great food, great atmosphere. Stopped here for an early dinner on a Friday. Place was empty so service was quick. The restaurant... was very clean and has nice decorations. Good touch with the mariachi music too. Food was outstanding! We ordered chickencarnitas and chicken fajitas. Both dishes were big and cooked just right. Kudos to the salsa- plentiful and tasty / spicy justthe way salsa should be. We'll definitely add this place to our regular eat-out-place-list. I 100% recommend this place althoughI predict it'll soon be a super-crowded joint! Read more
Had the shrimp burrito. I swapped out the burrito sauce for their enchilada sauce. Their rice and beans and sauce was the best... I have ever eaten in a restaurant. I will go back for sure. Their chips and salsa was good as well. Service was good but theyare extremely slow at preparing your meal. But worth the.wait!! My only negative would be they don't give you much beans andrice.

Great people, foods alright. Chips and salsa literally had 20 chips and a little container of salsa and it’s $5 so ridiculous.... Never again Read more
