The best in Ukiah. Combination of traditional and unique, delicious flavors. Thanks for handling my large to go guacamole and chips order. It was a huge hit!! read more

We got takeout on Tuesday and it was delicious! I forgot to take pictures but everything looked amazing. I'd absolutely go again especially for the tacos . read more

This place was amazing! I stumbled I'm exhausted after the longest shift plus too much driving and the waitress could tell i needed some help. She recommended the guava margarita and the fish tacos. They were both amazing! The fish tacos were fried perfectly, had so much freshness added, and the perfect amount of spice with the sauce and fresh jalapeños. The guava margarita was such a great flavor, but not too sweet. The true star of the show though was the salsas that came with the chips. Can i just buy giant bottles of the salsa please and thank you?!? So good!! Would definitely go again read more

This is probably the best quality Mexican food in Ukiah. The Asada Nachos were amazing.. but let me tell you about their fish tacos. Easily the best I have ever had. I have been all up and down the coast eating the best rated fish tacos and these are easily the best I have ever had. Prices are a tad steep but its to be expected with this quality I guess, not to mention inflation and everything else. Give them a try you wont regret it. read more

Fish tacos were great and so fresh. Service was fast and friendly. Prices were reasonable.

We were very disappointed. We found the food quite bland. My husband had a Chimichanga and I had chicken fajitas. The chicken was in big chunks and tough. The chairs and benches were uncomfortable and our table wobbled horribly. We won't be returning. read more

We were planning to call in to order and then pick it up. We called and were left on hold for 15 min, they then hung up and we called again, they didn't pick up so then called again and the girl answered with an attitude. I just hope the food is better than her attitude. read more

Came in for Taco Tuesday, I got 3 tacos all really good. Then I ordered the mimosa flight. The service was great and you get chips and salsa. Definitely recommend this place. read more

We stopped by here on the way home from a trip. I was searching on Yelp and found this place and it looked good. We decided to try it. Was easy to find. Right off Highway 101. Service was good. I had the Taco Salad. It was huge! Couldn't finished it all. Very good. read more

I ordered a surf and turf burrito and carne asada taco. The burrito was delicious. The meats mixed with the beans, guacamole and cheese was a delicious combination. The taco was great, meat was seasoned well and the taco shell was very soft. Great customer service and great ambiance. read more

A local favorite, La Cocina has flavorful, delicious, freshly prepared Mexican food. The enchiladas verdes, the burritos and the fish tacos are all amazing. Friendly and excellent service from all of the servers here and the atmosphere is clean, cozy, and casual. read more

I don't know if I've just had bad luck lately or if the food has changed, but the quality has majorly gone down at least for what I've ordered. I've found myself tossing half of my food lately, which is unfortunate given the prices. Looking forward to trying again, but not as impressed as I used to be. read more

First off the service was amazing! Our servers went above and beyond and we never waited for anything we asked for. The food was good! The Mole was perfect not to sweet, the molcajete was perfect for the price! They accommodated our family perfectly. Definitely coming back when we visit Ukiah again. read more

Excellent tacos. Super friendly, fast and so much better than we could have imagined. The asada and fancy arrachera (sp?) style were amazing and the meat in the chicken taco was distinct and had that flat top crisp to some pieces. Avocado salsa great, and pickled carrots had a habanero sting that mellowed with each crunchy bite. Nice banquettes and a few two tops but the soccer games in the big screen were a little off after the dinner crowd filled in. Date night crowd on Saturday about 7pm not many people watching the tvs but lots of people loving the food and we heard a few compliments to the workers on the flavors and plates. Flan runs out early for a reason- first come first serve! read more

$31 for two sour cream burritos. Disgustingly disappointing. Got a to go order and didn't eat it til we arrived home or I would have sent it back to the kitchen, and I don't think I've ever in my life. Did I order sour cream burritos? No. I ordered two carne asada super burritos. Do you know how impossible it is to taste the meat or other ingredients when a burrito is stuffed with sour cream? Do you see guacamole in this? Rice? Pico? Oh and only one very small bag of chips for two people to share with the burritos. They really missed the mark. $31 for sour cream burritos, but I ordered carne asada super burritos. Beyond disappointed, hours later it's just sitting wasted. This was entirely through out the burritos on both, not just a random pocket of sour cream. Barf. read more

First time visiting this place since I was in the area and got the recommendation. I had the fish taco and arrachera taco which was my favorite. The fish taco was eh!

I love all Mexican food equally but..... I REALLY love La Cocina. The food is always excellent, the customer service is great. Authentic atmosphere and convenient location read more

It is quite unfortunate that I need to make this review. I really enjoy so many aspects of this restaurant. From the food, to the cozy space. The staff is very kind every time we come. This review is based on several visits, so not just one or two. While I love the important part, the food; I am upset that I cannot feel comfortable in this restaurant. It is not family friends whatsoever. 90% of the visits we have made here are sadly ruined by the fact that topless/barely clothed/butt cheeks out women are all over their plasma screen TVs. The atmosphere is set with great music, but sadly music videos are attached to this and shown on the massive televisions for everyone to see. There's no escaping it. I will NOT be returning with my child, whom I love to bring to dinner. And I am quite honestly hesitant to return all together due to this issue. read more

I gave this Mexican food restaurant a 3 star. In person At the restaurant, I ordered a burrito with NO onions to go. I got home and realized they Forgot the beans and added the onions. What the heck? I told the lady twice what I wanted on the order. I was disappointed! The only good thing about this order was, the meat and rice were very tasty. read more

What a delicious find! We stayed at a hotel nearby and needed to find a place for dinner. Yelp to the rescue! We were the first customers to come for dinner that night and were able to pick our table. We were given some yummy chips and salsas promptly. The avocado one was really yummy! I ordered the fish tacos and my husband ordered beef fajitas. Our food was prepared and delivered very quickly. The portions were huge! I was served two large fish tacos and a hearty serving of beans and rice. I loved everything on my plate. The food tasted so fresh and had the perfect amount of spice. I loved the smoky flavor of the food. So delicious! I wish La Cocina was closer to our home because I can guarantee we would eat there at least once a week! If you are in the area, definitely give La Cocina a try! read more

This is one of my favourite places in town now. The food is amazing, and the wait staff is super friendly. The fish tacos are my absolute favourite! We went on Día de los muertos, and they had the place decorated really beautifully. I really wish they'd keep the tablecloths all the time! It really added to the ambiance. Overall this place is awesome! read more

First-time visitor ordered a Chili Verde burrito to go. I usually advise no rice, but this time, I was tired from a long day and forgot to mention it. Inially, the burrito looked appealing when I first received it, with a few chunks of pork in the sauce poured over it. I cut it open to discover it was filled completely with RICE and about 3/4 cup of sour cream. THAT'S IT. Turns out the only pork was the few chunks in the scant sauce they poured over the burrito. Essentially I paid for a huge flour tortilla with sour cream and rice ONLY, for $14.00. No chunks of anything inside it, no refried beans, no shredded lettuce, salsa OR pork. I won't be back. read more

The food here is incredible--definitely my favorite spot for Mexican cuisine in Ukiah. The service is excellent, and the ambiance is great. My only suggestion would be a larger space, as it feels a bit cramped with how close everything is. read more

La Cocina is quickly becoming my favorite spot for Mexican food in town. Tacos are large and worth their price (specials on Tuesdays!) and the salsas are great. The seafood options have been delicious -- try the Camarones a la Cucaracha. Brand new and sparking clean. read more

Delicious food in a pleasant atmosphere with wonderful service! I had tacos and a guava margarita and the next time I'm back in town, I'll definitely be back!!! read more

When it comes to cleanliness and great service it was the best. The food was okay. It was missing something. I discovered what it was half way through my meal. While this place has "authentic" in the name, it was not authentic Mexican food, as real Mexican food must glisten. It must have so much fat that it glistens like the back of a cholo's head. It must caress your arteries as you drive home. La Manteca es Amor. read more

I ordered the chimichanga with DoorDash tonight. Completely full of rice with almost no meat. Restaurants need to understand just because a food delivery service is picking up the food. It should probably be as good as it gets. This meal was so far from that. read more

The service and the food was really good. We went in with our grandchildren, the gobbled up two helpings of chips, asked for a side of nacho cheese and the server was very kind and brought it!!! The GC are 7 and 6 and very picky eaters. They were really accommodating for the kids! That earns them five stars!!! My husband and I had the ceviche platters for our dinner and they both were really great and lots! We had to take our food home, go in hungry! read more

I went to La Cocina after I had eaten. It was recommended by two different people and I only had one night in Ukiah. People...this place is legit for Mexican food and more importantly, the people. They really are invested. All of the staff were so friendly. I met the owner who was sitting at the bar. He just wanted to observe and see what the Patron saw. I will definitely come back. One of the BEST authentic Mexican places I have been to. Full disclosure, they don't have a full liquor license so the margaritas are agave margaritas. Still good but no tequila. read more

Amazing food for pennies. They brought a giant basket of chips with two salsas, I ordered Beer Battered Fish Taco Plate, HUGE, $14. Insanity. Great service, happy workers, FYI they serve beer and wine. The only note I have is for the lighting, a little harsh, but I will go back no problem. read more

This place is delicious! The flautas poblanas are yummy. The Chile Verde plate and burrito are delicious. Fajitas are delicious, it's all around yummy. Café de olla is delicious, as well Only reason I gave it 4 stars is because it's pretty expensive, but the burrito servings are well worth its price. read more

Timely service great tasting food especially the Mole! Friendly staff. Plus it is open on Sundays. I'll be back for Taco Tuesday.

Everything on the menu sounds delicious! I tried the fish taco plate (2 tacos, rice, beans, guacamole, pico) and was not disappointed. Great flavor and a good portion! I actually ended up taking one taco to go because I was full after one and the rice and beans. We were just driving through the area and this was an easy stop not far from freeway. I'd love to come back in the future! read more
