    Can I say how amazing the customer service is. Everyone was so attentive and welcoming. For me the salsa and the drinks really determine if I'm coming back or now. El Charro really hit on all three. I always love coming back here to this spot.

    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

    Don't let the photo fool you, the chile verde burrito is massive and It will definitely fill you up. The atmosphere was calm, quiet, and homely. The service was perfect, we were sat and provided expeditious service. I will definitely be back when I need a good meal during the day.

    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 :)

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 *****

    I can get a smile from anyone at a restaurant. It's expected. This felt like a cousin greeted me…read morewhen I walked in. Bringing out the salsa de aceite before anything else told me this was going to be the real deal. I tried the pozole and the tamal de queso for my initial visit. It's a good gauge to measure against taste buds that had my grandma's or any of my aunt's or cousin's cooking. They were incredible and stand up to any food I've had anywhere. It tastes homemade and not straight off the Sysco truck. I'm glad they have a vegan menu with vegan options for me to bring my wife. Needless to say, I'm impressed and will be back to this Mexican spot with an American diner feel based on the ambiance in here.

Salted caramel latte - I was told it was the favorite flavor off the menu. It came out perfect temp for how I like my coffees. Not too hot but hot enough to down to wake me up for the day. If you want it really hot to sit and sip on than maybe mention it before hand. Just off my experience, but it was very sweet and flavorful and I got my hit of caffeine and sugar for the morning. Huevos ranchero- Eggs any style, chile verde on bed of tortilla with smothered beans This isn't your traditional style. This is the" Nosotros Cafe" way of making it. Very wet, mild spice not too spicy and large diced pork hidden inside! I couldn't finish the whole plate I was too full but it was very delicious!

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.
