The guacamole is fresh, chunky and made to order. The carnitas were also very good. They were tender and seemed to have been slowly cooked all day. They were doing a game over the loud speaker and that made it noisy and hard to have a conversation. read more

Good food . Got us in fast , waiter done good job also , will eat here again . Clean place also

TERRIBLE! crappy service, they will lie to you and you will pay for something and not receive what you should receive for the price. called in a large cheese dip for a party and an order of rice and it was $56, they charged for a HALF GALLON of cheese dip and we got back to the party only to realize they gave us 5 bags of chips and 16oz of cheese dip... half a gallon is 64oz... went back and asked if they could give us what we ordered or refund us and we'll just keep what we were given only to receive the nastiest attitude from the hostess. we will not be going back! very nasty environment too, very dirty. the attitudes/nasty looks of the waiters were even dirtier tho. read more

Yes, they got it right, real authentic MX food! Mixed fajitas are very favorite here. Lots of other good choices too. Service is always fast and great! I like the outdoor and indoor dining, lots of parking available. read more

It seems as if customer service sucks no matter how good the food might be it wrecks everything. We sat there 30 minutes waiting for a menu another 15 minutes to have our drink order taken and when that did happen he wanted to take our full order. I can't even call it service. Food was average at best. read more

I always forget to take picture before I eat it all. By the looks of a empty plate it was good. I had a ground beef burrito with good authentic Mexican rice and retried beans, the food was great and the service was good until the waitress called me a lire when I told her I didn't like the food at all but all is good and she is great. read more

Cocina Real - a half eaten tomato on a plate - Mexican Near Me - Lawrenceburg, Tennessee

We traveled to this area once a year and have eaten here each year and it is absolutely the best Mexican restaurant we've ever eaten in any city and in any state read more

I have passed this place probably 20 or 30 times in the past but decided to try it today. I have to say I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of food that Codina Real delivered. I may be weird, but I often judge a Mexican restaurant not by their chips and salsa as much as I do by things like carnitas, refried beens, shrimp cocktail, and chili rellenos or Mole if the have it on the menu. Today, at Cosina Real (the Royal Kitchen), I tried their carnitas and cocktail de camarones. Both were superb! I will definitely be back to check out other items on their menu soon! read more

Thier food is made hafeass with no effort useless and nasty I think they really work on quality I prefer the Azteca who wants to order chicken cheese and rice and get home and if have like no cheese when I called back to talk to them their was no answer . read more

Not sure who "Drake" and "Yasmeen" are but they need to find a better compass because I think they got lost and didn't come here. Busy Friday at 6:00 pm. Seated in about five minutes. Waiter came by in under 2 ready to take the drink and food order. Place is hopping and you can tell the wait staff is very attentive. Chips warm and fresh; salsa good with garlic notes and enough kick to be nice but not spicy (I'm sure they can kick it up if you want) Almost every table full plus some serious take out biz going. My wife orders Hawaiian fajitas and I'm having enchilada supremas. She gets the fajitas in about five minutes (I'm guessing timing and the cool made multiple at once. They come out hot and perfect. In looking at them, I am blown away by the sheer number of shrimp on the plate. I'm guessing 20 medium shrimp! The enchiladas take a little longer so I do sit and watch for a few minutes. Some might not like it, it's no big deal for me as I see it was efficient to get her food quick. The ambiance is nice and the chips and Sala put me in a nice hold pattern. I like a good enchilada and I'm not disappointed. Pure Mexican comfort food! Every one is fresh and the enchilada sauce is perfect. I'm about 1/3 done when the folks down the way have a birthday celebration with all the waiters joining in reminding me why I like mom and pop Mexican restaurants. I'm in Lawrenceburg TN. I'm having a great dinner and it's just "fun". What else do you really need to know. Come here. Enjoy. Rinse and repeat! read more

Cocina Real - The Hawaiian fajitas (about half done) - Mexican Near Me - Lawrenceburg, Tennessee

This is a favorite of many locals. There are other Mexican restaurants in town that are my preference. Food was hot and service was quick. Not a fan of their rice, it has a different taste that I can't put my finger on. Salsa was good. If you are looking for convenience this is your place. read more

Great food for good price. Crowded on Friday night but well worth it. Will be back next time I am in town. Ok it's been a year since I have been here and it's still 5 Stars. Sauce is great food and bev great. Prices Two year since first visit. Still 5 star for food. 3.5 stars for atmosphere read more

Pro: Portion is big, service is attentive, ambient is nice. Con: the Long Island ice tea (the premium version) is too sweet, couldn't finish it. The shrimp cocktail sauce is again too sweet, tomato juice only. It looked great and the amount of shrimp is amazing, but I couldn't eat any in that diluted tomato juice. Personally I will not dine there again. But my friends who do not eat spicy food, liked their cactus stone bowl soup, which feeds at least 3 ppl. That is usually my top favorite Mexican dish, but this version just not appealing to me. I guess this is a more Americanized place, more sweet and light than a regular Mexican restaurant. It is a very popular restaurant, according to how many cars in the parking lot. read more

We've eaten here several times. But after a few bad experiences and management refusing to call back and address the issue after this last time, sadly it'll be our last. I ordered take out, one of the items being Mexican egg rolls. I got home to realize they had given us the cream cheese filled dessert not the Mexican rolls. When I called about the issue the person on the phone wanted to argue with me about it and eventually said they would remake it. After driving 15 mins back to get the replacement item while my actual dinner was getting cold at home. They didn't even offer me a refund and barely a sorry. Then the last time we were in there our son didn't receive his kids meal till after my oldest had completely finished hers and we were half done with our meals. I went to pay and realized they had charged us more than double for a cheese dip we ordered. I explained that they have never charged us that much (we've ordered this dip the same way at least 20 times) The person was argumentative and his fellow employee standing off to the side was rolling her eyes and being disrespectful about a situation she wasn't even involved in. (However I'm not surprised as she was serving the table behind us, people she was obviously friends with and had been rather rude and pushy about space (as everything was crowded) with my daughter who's 8) I then mentioned to the gentlemen that I also wasn't happy our sons food came out so long after ours. His response was well did you tell the waiter? I have to tell the waiter to make the situation right? He knew the food came out considerably later than everyone else's, yet choose to do nothing about it. I get things happen but arguing and not correcting things that were clearly your fault isn't a great way to run a business. read more

I was very pleased with their choices of food on the menu. I went here on mother's day and they gave all the moms their a red live rose. The food was delicious and the margarita..My family had a great time. Fully recommend. read more

We visited this restaurant a couple of weeks ago on a Saturday afternoon. They weren't extremely busy and the atmosphere was acceptable to the senses. The food was mediocre at best. The service was terrible. Now for the really pathetic part of the visit. I wasn't aware of it until a week later when I was reviewing my debit card transactions. I paid for our meal with it and left a not so well deserved cash tip. Upon reviewing my bank statement I discovered that they had added an additional $5 tip to my card. This is a terribly unacceptable action. You had better believe that I will be notifying management and trust me, I'll never step foot in the place again!! read more

This place was pretty good! I loved that they had fresh house made chips, and the salsa was delicious. They also had a whole vegetarian section on their menu, which I really appreciated. I got the vegetarian fajitas and they were great, a good variety of veggies. The rice and beans were my favorite part. They have a lot of different margarita flavors here too, so if you like margaritas, this is a great place to go! Our waiter was very attentive and the food came out really quick. We came here on a Monday to participate in the trivia night and had a great time! The trivia was really well organized and it was a fun night for us. All in all, I would definitely recommend coming here if you're in the area looking for Mexican food! read more

The first sign that this was not going to go well was the table next to us left with their plates still full, barely ate much; the next was the drinks we ordered were not very good; there were 4 of us and none of us liked the food we ordered read more

There are 2 other Mexican places in town and we have tried them both.. But it only took trying the others once to know our hearts belong here. We eat here once to twice a week. Food is always great.

Best food in the area. Good waiters and experience. I highly recommend this restaurant.

Definitely the ideal place to eat in town. If you're looking for good Mexican food close to home and a trivia experience every Monday at 7:00PM, that's fun for both friends and family. Get yourself a team and a good name and you're good to go. The food is amazing, and if highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys Mexican cuisine. I try and eat here as often as possible. Pollo con queso is the one of the best dishes you'll taste. Not to mention there are many things else to enjoy in the immediate vicinity after you enjoy your meal! read more

Moved here from Nashville and could never find a Mexican restaurant that we loved like the one we went to regularly when we lived in Atlanta. Little did we know that we would find one in Lawrenceburg! Great food and ask for Paula, our favorite wait staff!!! read more

Great authentic Mexican food with fast service. Sometimes it's a bit crowded but worth it. Great staff

The food was prompt and decent for the area, nothing to write home about. The service however was terrible. Our waiter was very rude as soon as we sat down. He asked us if we were ready to order and as I was in mid sentence he just walked away. When he came back after taking our order he slammed our drinks on the table and tossed us the silverware. My husband recently lost his wallet along with his drivers license so all he had was a military ID that they refused to accept when he ordered a margarita. I wouldn't come back again. The mediocre food is definitely not worth the experience. read more
