This is a 4.5 review…read more Stopped in for the first time and enjoyed the restaurant. Something as simple as chips and salsa they bring out omg. They were mad fresh , they were so light and I loved the salsa. We both got enchiladas. I did chicken red sauce. She did combo green sauce. We both enjoyed our meal. The ambiance is nice. Our server was a sweetheart. You can definitely do worse then eating here

You can really taste the love in the cooking--it's authentic, delicious, and super satisfying. The atmosphere is always welcoming and laid-back. The staff is consistently friendly and attentive--they make you feel right at home as soon as you walk in. I've tried a bunch of dishes here and I've never been disappointed, but the tacos will always be my favorite! If you're craving great Mexican food with great service, La Cocina is the place to go.

The wings were amazing, burgers were good, and the Nacho Fries were so good they were gone before I could take a picture. Waiter was an absolute beast, constant supply of Ice Cold Michelob's. The atmosphere was also really good, not like the trailer parks back home.

The cheese steak egg roll was good. The mini hot dogs the kids didn't like cause bread was too hard. The fries are fries. Fried Oreos were over cooked and not enough batter. Nothing impressed.

Large portions, beautiful plates and silverware, and quaint, cozy ambiance in America's oldest city. Fast forward to Saturday the 14th, and I'm back again with family visiting from out of the country. The food was good, but the vibe was a bit different. Started with chips & salsa - good, but hardly any chips. We had 3/4 of a dish of salsa remaining after finishing the chips, and we were told that we would have to pay for a refill of chips. Very sad! We also ordered two taco platters, and three chicken quesadilla platters. Food was good, but the side portions (beans and rice) were very small, and served in tiny plastic cups. The plates and silverware were replaced with cardboard plates/trays and plastic cutlery. Although the food was good, the presentation was disappointing. Our waitress did a good job, so kudos to her! $120+ before a tip - a couple more chips would have been nice, and real plates and silver would have been amazing.....just saying.

I'm so impressed!! Going to FL from TX, have little…read moreexpectations on Mexican food but I was proven wrong because Mayita was amazing. I got the lamb birria bowl and it was so tender ans well seasoned. Their rice bowls are very much like chipotle style in components but fresher. Avocadoes are fresh and tasty and they have a bunch of different kinds of hot sauces and salsa on the side. Plaintain chips are good but I wish they were warm/hot. my friends like their beef burritos a lot too. Their ranking was lamb then beef, pork, chicken. Love that the menu is quite simple and easy to order. The staffs are so friendly and helpful and location is right across the Castillo de San Marcos fortress. Would def come back.

Well I visited last night for a work event and I was pleasantly surprised. When we walked in and told them how many were in our party they barely blinked an eye and set us up at our table within 5 minutes. The waitress handled our party of 10+ smoothly and like a boss! The food was great, she got every order correct and our drinks were full the whole time we were there. I was so impressed and will definitely be back.

I really enjoyed my birria quesadilla, and the complimentary chips paired perfectly with the queso and chorizo we ordered. My family joked that the building looked like it might have been a former Pizza Hut, which added a bit of nostalgia to the visit.

Tucked down a charming alley in St. Augustine, the restaurant has a great atmosphere with live music and plenty of outdoor seating. We chose to sit outside since it was still a beautiful morning and not too hot yet. The cocktails were excellent, and of course we had to order one last round of oysters before leaving - they were so worth it. I was a little surprised by the paella because it was much brothier than I'm used to, but it was still delicious. I just wish it came with more bread for dipping or a side of rice to soak up all the flavorful broth. I even snapped a photo of the taco menu because it all sounded amazing. Overall, a great lunch and a wonderful final meal of our Florida vacation.

OH. MY. GOODNESSSSS. The moment I tried this UFO - I knew I'd be craving this meal endlessly. Here…read moreit is, the next day, and all I can think about is getting another one. I'm 45 minutes away or I'd be there every week. I got the Mahi UFO and it was divine. The mahi was plentiful and perfectly cooked, the wrap almost tasted like cheese was grilled on the outside of it and it actually has a consistent crunch alllll over. The portion was plentiful and they included some lime on the side that set it off! I'll be making trips to this side of town for this spot alone. Spots around don't even compare - Memorable is an understatement. Seating is small and looked like mostly if not all outdoor - I ordered online and my wrap was hot and fresh when I picked it up. 1000/10

This place is the best and extremely consistent! This is a self-serve spot on A1A with 100% outdoor…read morepatio seating. There is a small covered area but it's mostly high top seats for a few people. But this is a neighborhood spot feels like you're eating in your backyard. The line for ordering can get extremely long during popular dinning times such as lunch and dinner. So be prepared to wait in line and wait for your dishes. I promise it is worth the wait. I recommend ordering chips and queso they do bring that out quickly and you can much while you wait for your main dishes. The UFO is my favorite dish on the menu and I crave it all the time. It's a flour tortilla that covers a hard taco stuffed with a protein (I love that blackened Mahi) and you can get it spicy (Baja style) or mild (the works). Absolutely the best thing here! If you're grabbing to go, check their website. Sometimes it's not open, but normally you can order ahead and pay online. So when you arrive you can pick up at the pick up window. Love this new addition. You cannot go wrong with anything, everything is amazing and honestly top contender for best taco on St Aug!

Vegan review: Yoooo…read morethis place is a gem. Quick service, nice folks, great prices, a few options for vegans, what more can ya ask for? Tvp/soya tacos + arbol sauce is an awesome combo, even gets up to a respectable heat level if you really load it up. Can't believe I don't see tvp on more menus, these guys know what's up. Just as good as beyond when properly prepared. Tofu tacos are also amazing with a nice level of sweetness and an ideal balance of tofu to veg. Flour tortillas are perfect - nice and thin but strong enough to hold up to some sauce and folding. I also hear the fish and potato tacos were great successes, so that's nothing but hits. Will be back asap!
