    a plate of chips and a drink on a table
    Allison U.

    My all time, for many years now, fav Mexican restaurant in Mobile. The cheese dip is always amazing! I had a shrimp quesadilla ($5) with onions and peppers this time, as well as two soft beef tacos ($2.20 ea) - loaded with cheese. The salsa is always fresh and delicious! $2 Margaritas on many nights - beware, they're potent! ^.* I also recommend their taco salad fajita with steak or chicken - they grill the steak/chicken into strips and lather with grilled onions, peppers & white melted yummy cheese & top with fresh lettuce, guacamole, sour cream and tomatoes. So fab!

    This place is cheap and good. We've come here for years and it's a friendly atmosphere with yummy food. The chips and salsa is great and my go to is a half order of beef and bean nachos. You can get a good buzz and eat for about $20 - can't beat that. Haha

    Best food in the city. A little slow on receiving your check to pay but still worth the wait!

I know ala Cocina has a pretty good reputation. I scanned the online menu and it didn't take me long to find the birria tacos. It came with two sides. I decided to try the charro beans and Spanish rice. The email I received said my wait would be about 20 minutes. I drove to the restaurant and waited in my car for a bit. When I walked in the restaurant there was someone attending to some tables. The was a sign to ring the bell to get some service but the waitress saw me. I told her that I had an online order and within a few minutes my food was ready. When I got home I noticed there was chips and salsa in my bag as well as the other items I ordered. I didn't realize my meal came with chips and salsa. I guess that's not out of the ordinary but it was a pleasant surprise. Anyway I started with the rice and then with the beans. There was nothing really special with the rice but I don't think I've had charro beans. They seem to be beans with what seemed like vienna sausage. It didn't taste bad. I really didn't know what to expect. On the to birria tacos. The definite star of the show. Being that my food was take out there was some sogginess to the taco shell but the tacos held up pretty good. I dipped the first taco in the consommé (yes, I googled it). It was very savory and the meat was tender. I don't eat a lot of authentic Mexican food but I know what good food tastes like. I definitely would recommend the birria tacos from La Cocina.

The chips are served nice and warm and have a light crunch to them, not overly heavy. Their salsa is just addictive and when you pair it with their queso, it's ridiculous. I ordered the chicken supreme dish I think is what it was called. Chicken breast flattened and nicely grilled, topped with mushrooms and onions and cheese. Serve with rice and beans, I couldn't finish at all, but I surely wanted to. The service was very friendly and attentive, mostly comfortable atmosphere. Loud patrons, a couple boot away, put a damp around things, but that's not really the fault of the restaurant, just inconsiderate, loud patrons. The only issue I have, is when we walked in the place just kind of smelled funky. They had a couple of candles lit, I think to mask the odor. And I really can't say what it was, but it was across between maybe garbage and trash smell. Aside from the unpleasant smell when you walk in, the food and service was on point. I would absolutely come back here for takeout.
