La Cocina is a solid mexican spot in Casper. I like the relatively new location, and food was pretty darn good. I'd never had an Indian Taco until dining here, and it was excellent. The beef filling was seasoned incredibly well and the rest of the dish was really good. The service was pretty good and even realized when my order was prepared wrong. It arrived late to the table but she communicated well and made sure i got what I ordered and it was prepared correctly. I will definitely be back. read more

Havent been to this place in over a year - as the last experience was pretty awful. They've gotten so much better! I got seated right away; our waitress (the owners' daughter) was very attentive & was spot-on with service. The marg was yummy (house marg), as was the smothered cheese enchilada. Jim, the owner, came out for a visit - very personable & friendly. After this experience, I will be back! read more

These people need to throw out the nasty FAKE chicken tenders! The same fake compressed "chicken" parts as McDonald's uses in their nuggets, only worse! Do better! Even Dairy Queen has real chicken tenders! Won't be back any time soon if ever. Don't know what's in that taco "meat" either. read more

Smothered chicken burrito with red sauce was grub. And so much food. Will definitely be going back to check out more of the menu.

We went there when they first opened and the food was amazing! The only thing we didn't care for was the cafeteria way with so many tables and chairs. Just don't care for the atmosphere, but that's just us. No complaints about the food, it was awesome! Oh and the service was great! Very friendly and fast. read more

We eat here often because the food is authentic Mexican, the place is clean and well run.

I had no complaints with the service, the hostess seemed new, but helpful. The waitress and runners were all prompt and friendly. The complimentary chips and salsa were fantastic. However,our entrees were not great. My husband got an Indian taco, they served it on top of refried beans. It was soggy the whole way through. I got the street tacos, and there was absolutely no flavoring on the meat. The only flavor was the sour crema and lime. I got the impression that most of the people were there for alcoholic drinks, and the food was supposed to complement their bar service. The restaurant was smallish, and we were seated by the windows. As a result, it was cold, but in all fairness, in Casper Wyoming in January, that isn't unusual. read more

This place has not changed since their move to the new location. Still very bland and way too much cheese on everything.

Sat for 45 minutes to get three street tacos served them super spicy! Had to get them to go. They just threw them in the boxes. Not great.

Very good food, fast service, Pleasant wait staff chips salsa and bean dip was very very good read more

This is the third location I have gone to as La Cocina moves throughout the years. Unfortunately they have continued to decrease in qualityas time goes on. Ordered the #5 combo (chili rejenllo and chicken enchilada with red sauce) and found the two main dishes inedible. The red sauce was greasy. The rejenllo had the worst tasting batter on it, thinly coated, soggy and gray-green in color. The enchilada may have been edible without the red sauce but when I cut it open with the intention of eating the inside there was so little chicken it was essentially a cheese item. The homemade tortillas where thick, hard and tasteless. I did eat the beans and rice as I was hungry but the rice was mushy and watery. The service was good, very friendly waiter totally not his fault the product was so poor. read more

I've been to La Cocina at both their old location and the new one. I think the new location is much better than the old, certainly more modern, and a much nicer neighborhood. I really want to like this place, but every time I go, the food is unremarkable. I'm not saying it is bad. It's a mixture of good qualities and bad qualities. For example, I like their sauces a lot, but their rice seems old and mushy, like it was overcooked and then reheated. Sometimes, the chimichangas are fried until they're rock hard, but the filling is good. The service is middle of the road, nothing special, but not bad. Considering all the pros and cons, I don't get why this place is so popular. There are definitely better options for Mexican food in Casper, if you're focused on the food itself. My guess is that booze and location are the draw. I don't know.‍ read more

Tacos are pretty good for the price. Enchiladas are fair. If you order Enchiladas on the side they come out dry no cheese, no sauce. If you want to add sauce to the side Enchiladas it will cost over $5 more. Pretty much everything is overpriced especially the drinks. Staff is good. Building is basic and big deal. read more

I do not say this lightly, this was THE BEST carne asada plate I've ever had. While it's not necessarily traditional, it had incredible flavor, perfect amount of heat and the steak was fork tender. Absolutely incredible and I literally took an order to go because I won't be back any time soon to Casper as I live in Denver. A MUST HAVE if you're passing through or live near by. read more

Stopped here on Memorial Day 2023 driving through from Buffalo, it's conveniently located right off I25. We were glad to find that not only were they open but it was also margarita Monday! Got 2 for 1 house margaritas which were yummy. Hostess who sat us was super friendly and server was also very efficient. The steak street tacos were also fuego. I would absolutely recommend. read more

All great - food, portions, service - all high quality and delicious. Definitely will return!

The food, atmosphere, and service was amazing. We had a large party (14) and our waitress was incredible! Attentive, kept our drinks full, and was super fast when we needed anything. read more

Our chicken fajitas was tasty and the portion was a decent size, but somewhat over priced. Skinny margarita was also good but also over priced and small. Chips and salsa didn't arrive until I reminded them. The Mexican vibe was missing at this restaurant but the real disappointment was they charged us $3.50 for our hot sauce. Admittedly it was a descent habanero sauce, but charging for it is ridiculous. It's a condiment. read more

Owner messaged me and apologized and explain the situation of miscommunication. I do appreciate the effort. I called 6 times over an hour to place a to go order but didn't have anyone answer. I figured they were busy and drove up to place my order. When I arrived, I was told by the hostess and manager that they did not answer the phone because they aren't doing to go orders and that was their solution, to not answer the phone. I told them it would have saved me a lot of time if they would just answer their phone and offer the courtesy to their customers to tell them. Manager was rude, Hispanic women with dark hair. Restaurant was not even 1/3 full but they claimed a to go order would make them too busy. read more

I enjoyed the full beef burrito and the service was great thought the burrito was a little generic. The ambiance was nice it was not to loud and it was easy to have a conversation. Everything was clean so it was a no brainer to rate this 4 stars overall. read more

Delicious food! Great margaritas! Friendly and very helpful servers! Pleasant atmosphere! I really enjoy this restaurant!

First time eating here and will be back again! We had chicken enchiladas with the pork chili and they were amazing! Huge portions. Got the churro ice cream for dessert and it was so tasty. Some of the best churros I have had. We will be coming back again and soon! Also, service was great. Good came quickly and the waitress was personable and helpful. Great decor and vibe. read more

We called in an order and when we picked it up the bag was sealed so we couldn't check the order. They shorted us an entire meal. When we called, the to go lady refused to refund any money or give us the other meal. The food was fine, but the service was deplorable. We won't be back. read more

I was really excited to come here however in the end I was very disappointed. Service was so so with staff that acted almost like we were an inconvenience to serve. Queso is very runny and was brought out at room temp. We put in our orders and I was given a chicken entree when I ordered it with beef, I brought this to the waiters attention and it felt like I was in the wrong, he took it back and I was brought a fried tortilla filled with... plain hamburger. On the bright side rice and beans were good but wouldn't be my first choice for Mexican ever again. read more

Hello everyone This was our first & last time at La Cocina. But I will share our most lengthy negative experience with you all. My husband & I was so looking forward to La Cocina to eat & ordered Cocktails. We got seated fast but waited a long time before we got acknowledged. So, the young lady first gave us our napkins & silverware, than we waited for a long time, then we received Chips, Salsa dip, & Bean dip. We asked for water & that took a long time, Lord have Mercy! we could have choked on the chips & dip waiting soooo long for a glass of water. Upon the young lady bringing our water she said, your server will take your order, OK Thank you . So we wait, wait, wait, wait, It took our server maybe 30 minutes by the time he took our orders ,‍ wait, wait, wait. finally the young man takes our order. I ordered 2 Beef Enchiladas with Rice & Beans and my husband ordered the shrimp fajitas. OK Soooo we Wait, wait, wait again. We finally get our order and I noticed my to Beef Enchiladas had hardly any meat in them, I got more green flour Tortillas than meat, & small servings of Beans & rice. We thought WOW ! they must be running out of food with such small servings. So when our server brings our food, I ask to order Cocktails and he says OK but I'll come back and take your drink orders, OK Thank you, we wait, wait, wait, wait. The Drinks are absolutely horrible. First Margarita taste watery, second Margarita was OK. So they run out of Margarita Mix, we order a Martini, Terrible & watery, 2nd Martini Taste like water Lemon. I must say, my Beef Enchiladas, Rice, & Beans tasted yummy, but way small portions of food. We paid a little over $105.00 for 2 meals, 2 Margaritas, & 2 Martinis. I'm not returning to La Cocina , You guys really need improvements. I know that this is not your first rodeo, you've been in business for many years with many complaints. This is a new restaurant but with the same old complaints. i don't think the Owner cares about the complaints that are much needed. read more

Restaurant has multiple hours posted on Facebook page, so we were unsure of actual closing time. Got there 30 minutes before closing (or an hour an half depending on which time is actually correct) and they wouldn't seat us. read more

Good solid Mexican food option in central Casper. Well run, fast service, good food and clean.

After years of no ethnic or good Mexican food living in Bozeman MT. This place is a godsend. Lights out salsa, some of the best queso we've tasted, and solid meals with a great margarita. Loved it. read more

My 15 year old got his first job today, he was very exited they gave him the position to be a "busser" they hired him the same day immediately made him start working .... and jus threw him in dish washing, he came home telling me everyone was very rude...being really passive aggressive when he had no training and just took advantage of him they didn't ask for an id ssn or anything just seems fishy to me. feel bad for all the kids they have working, he quit the same day and I feel horrible. He basically washed all these dishes for free for two three hours. He said he didn't mind doing it intill they started disrespecting him. read more

Excellent family run restaurant. Great selection, fairly priced, and really good food! Thanks again!

Easily the best mexican restaurant I've eaten at since moving to Wyoming. We sit down, I figured the salsa was like everywhere else so I took a big scoop and ‍! Man was it spicy. But sooo good. I asked the waitress if it was always that hot and she said, no it's pretty spicy today though. Which leads me to believe it's made in house and I like that alot. I had the enchiladas and it was flavorful as well! The place was clean and staff friendly. What more could you ask for. Can't wait to go back. I hope it's always this good! read more

Tough to review, the restaurant was very clean, modern decor. The staff was very good, very polite and attentive and service was quick. The menu was lacking creativity and was pretty basic, tacos burritos and fajitas. The portions were good and plated nicely but the flavors were bland and everything has a similar taste, nothing exciting. The disappointing part was the house margaritas, they were horrible, like drinking iced lime juice, couldn't taste any tequila just lime. And to top it off, my little boy ordered a corn dog that was still frozen when he got it. read more

Great spicy salsa!!!! The pepper jack fried tacos are the bomb! Will eat again when I come back to visit family
