    First time visiting this place. We were recommended by a local. We were not disappointed. Food was very flavorful at a reasonable price. Our servers were very nice and helpful. I will be returning when I'm in the area

    3 combo plate, 2 shredded beef tacos and a chile relleno, beans and rice p.s. My husband took a bite of my rice before this pic was taken :)

    This is our third time coming here and it never disappoints! My husband and I were seated quickly and we were given chips and salsa to enjoy. I ordered my favorite combo plate (2 shredded beef tacos and a chile relleno that was bigger than my face). It comes with beans and rice. The rice was fluffy and flavorful and the beans were yummy and covered with cheese (as it should be...all hail to the Cheese). My husband got his favorite carne asada burrito, and it was pretty big for only $11.00. We barely started on our second bowl of chips and salsa when Alfredo brought out our food. Yum yum and some more yum. Yummy all day. Did I mention it was yummy? The total bill was $29.09 without the tip. And we have the 2 tacos, beans and rice and half a burrito for dinner. Quick and friendly service, check. Yummy authentic Mexican food, check. Great value for your money, check. Keep up the great work El Charro! We will keep coming back.

The restaurant is always clean, and the atmosphere is comfortable with music playing at a good volume. It is a big improvement from the days when the music was blasting under the previous owners. The food is flavorful without relying on heavy spice. The chilaquiles are very good, the steak is cooked just right, and the Jamaica tastes fresh and homemade rather than coming from a powder. The black beans might be some of the best I have ever had, and they are consistently delicious every visit. La Cocina Grill is reliable, tasty, and well run. The combination of great service, clean surroundings, good food, and a friendly environment makes it one of the best spots to enjoy a meal in Banning

I didn't want to skimp on taste, or authentic flavors. This was our first time entering La Cocina Grill. We were immediately greeted by Janet, she was very warm and welcoming. As I often say, it's that first impression that does it for us. We were able to choose our own seating. Opened space seating with gorgeous art work on the walls. Wheel chair accessible, not crowded or confined. I normally enjoy chili that can burn your soul. However, what they lacked in heat, they far surpassed on flavor. Besides with my diet changes heat is not something I should be eating at this time :) So this restaurant was definitely what my body needed. {IMPORTANT} a semi hotter chili available upon request. My spouse enjoyed the vegetable omelet however, did not enjoy the French fries that came with it, would have rather had either Spanish rice or potatoes, the plate did include black beans which were super delicious. My spouse did truly enjoy the food tremendously. I ordered the spinach and mushroom vegetable enchilada plate which I too requested the black beans, it also included Spanish rice. Although, it was missing avocado slices, my personal favorite, and also a suggestion it would have been more amazing. I must state this dish did not lack in flavor, presentation and overall deliciousness. I will definitely will be ordering this dish again. Yes!, I promise it was that good. Opened Tuesday thru Sunday 10 am to 8 pm~ I learned they also feature a... Taco Tuesday, every Tuesday of course :) Wednesday is 30% off for seniors, and Thursday is Happy Hour all day. Thursdays Fajita night $14.95 I absolutely highly recommend you stop in and review it for yourself. I promise you wont be disappointed. COMPLIMENTS TO THE CHEF *****

Unlike high-priced, overly decorative spots that fail to deliver on flavor, Fuego Carvings gets right down to what actually matters: incredible, authentic food and warm hospitality. The restaurant is spotless, comfortable, and well-sized, with authentic Mexican music playing at just the right volume so you can actually enjoy your conversation. As a massive soup lover, I had to order the Birria (plus a taco), while my wife went with the tamale plate: The Birria: The absolute star of the meal. It arrived in a massive 32 oz bowl packed with remarkably tender meat and a deep, flavorful broth. Honestly, I would have gladly paid more for a bowl this good. The Tamales: My wife thoroughly enjoyed her plate--fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. The service was top-notch, and the prices offer fantastic value for the quality and generous portions you receive. We can't wait to go back and try the Menudo--if it's even half as good as the Birria, it's going to be a winner. If you want authentic Mexican food where you truly get your money's worth, do not skip Fuego Carvings!

It's quite small, but feels cozy, welcoming, and authentic. The service was great and I LOVE that I didn't have to ask for the extras, like the salsas, cebollitas, etc. A small act that goes a long way. The cebollitas and jalapeños added on top added flavor to my burrito. It was thoughtful of them to add it on top because it didn't melt the to go plate considering our food was cooked fresh. I'd be lying if I didn't say that was one of my concern; but I was so stoked to know my food stayed warm and tasted so delicious when I made it home. Don't get me started on the salsas! The sazón and variety of spice level is everything for me; so I loved that I had options. From the mildest to the spiciest level salsa, I can say they were all made with some love. My favorite was the most spicy, it was so spicy, but I couldn't stop eating it! Heheh Loved the agua fresca options & that you can also get micheladas there. Lastly, it was well proportioned, I got full with some leftovers,which is always a WIN WIN for me Giving it five stars based on my first experience, will most definitely go back for more in the near future!

    We've been customers for years and have always enjoyed the food, which is why this was so…read moredisappointing. From the moment our server (tall skinny guy with tattoos) came to our table, he was rude, dismissive, and acting strange. We are understanding people who have worked as servers and in hospitality previously and decided to remain polite, give him the benefit of the doubt, and attempt to still enjoy our dinner. However, it progressively got worse. He repeatedly cut us off while we were speaking, made sarcastic and strange remarks, rushed us to order drinks, skipped over my sister in law, rolled his eyes multiple times, shouted "if you were listening you would have heard me say I'm bringing water for everyone" very rudely when someone asked for a water, and then didn't return to take our food order for almost 30 minutes after he brought our drinks. When he did return, he was again being rude. It got to the point where he was actually making us feel uncomfortable and we asked if everything was okay and explained that his behavior felt disrespectful. We requested a different server, but instead of addressing our concerns, he began arguing with us, raised his voice, said, "can I trade you guys out" then he abruptly walked away... At that point, we decided to get up and go to the front to pay for our drinks and leave. We explained the situation to the manager, who offered personal reasons for the employee's behavior. While we sympathize with anyone going through a difficult time, we don't feel it's an excuse to treat customers poorly when they have been polite and respectful and put up with his poor behavior longer than we should've have in the first place. As we were speaking with the manager he was nearby and saying weird things under his breath again. While we were walking out after paying with the manager, the server continued shouting at us and saying rude things across the restaurant. He even asked my brother in law if he was trying to fight while we were walking out... we didn't say anything to retaliate and left the restaurant to find another spot for dinner. We had a small child with us and he was acting erratically, so just wanted to share a tale of caution. The food has always been good, the staff (besides the gentleman we had tonight) is friendly, and we've supported this restaurant for years, but hopefully they can ensure a safer and more pleasant dining experience for guests.
