It was soo flavorful and I consider myself a queso expert :) My husband had the swordfish sandwich and I enjoyed the house salad. Sandwich was delicious, but a bit sloppy to eat. Second visit I ordered the chicken salad sandwich and he ordered the fish tacos. Both great ... chicken salad sandwich had a lot of pickles so if that's not your thing, beware. But I loved it. Fish tacos were a great size. Overall service was incredible and it's a great laid-back bar in town.

The were about to close right before we got seated, but we told them we just wanted a round of drinks and a quick dessert. I think they were a little mad, but they let us sit! No one was in here when we got here, so we were the only ones. It was very small, but they had a bar and it fit the ambiance of a hidden gem feeling, even though it is right on the main strip of Rosemary Beach. We got a round of champagne to drink and then two desserts: dark chocolate fondue and milk and cookies. The dark chocolate fondue came with marshmallows, bananas, apples, strawberries and pound cake bites. The chocolate fondue container was HUGE and filled to the brim with dark chocolate. We each got our own skewer to dip the goodies. I could have eaten every last bite, this was delicious. The milk and cookies were just as good! This was three huge cookies with a side of milk. The cookies were just barely baked, how I like it. They had many chocolate chips and tasted so fresh...I could only finish one of them. I would come here every weekend for a sweet treat if I lived here! One of my favorite experiences.

Right when we arrived, we were walked to our table, which was a booth and was plenty of room for the 5 of us. When we were walking to our table, I noticed how nice this restaurant was! The ambiance was on point. Very nice but not too nice. Our waiter immediately addressed us when we sat down and gave us his recommendations for drinks. I decided on the peach Paloma spritz. It was delicious and well presented. Others in my party got red wine, a French 75 and the market ranch water. I thought mine was the most delicious lol. Before we ordered our appetizers, the waiter was so beyond knowledgeable about the whole menu. Gave us all of the specials like nothing I have ever heard before. He was so great! For our appetizers, we got the bread butter candle, smoked fish dip, and the burrata salad. The bread butter candle was the best thing I've ever had! It was so cool and very unique. I absolutely loved the burrata salad, but I thought the fish dip was a tad too fishy for me. For our entrees, most of the table got the red fish and the other two got the steak and the pasta. We all devoured the red fish! It was so delicious and a good portion. Others in my pastry weren't fans of the pasta, but the steak was one of the best I've ever tasted. From the service to the food to the ambiance, this place is one of my favorites I've ever dined at! I can't wait to come back!

I usually post on another site but someone suggested this was easier so I'm giving it a try. I am recently retired and looking to help others. That being said I give this restaurant 5 stars. I actually have never liked Mexican food until last night. Great chicken fajitas and my wife enjoyed her vegetarian quesadilla. We sat at the bar to grab my signature drink, jack Daniels on the rocks and decided to stay at the bar because of the wonderful service we received there. Brunette with a genuine smile and hospitality towards us. We were warmly welcomed and there is a high level of customer service here that you really don't find at many places. Our only complaint is that we wish it was open year round. read more

This is your typical Mexican restaurant - the food is good and during the summer it is packed. What stood out was the excellent service from our waiter, Hector. He was very personable and attentive. We had a friend show up after we ordered our food. He noticed and immediately came to our table to take her order and was able to rush it in so her food came out at the same time as ours. He joked that he had to steal somebody else's order but I am sure he just worked with the kitchen to make it happen. The place and our waiter was very busy but we never felt rushed and our waiter was always calm and attentive. I hope he is there when we go back next year- he made our night! Thank You Hector! read more

Let me start by saying that this is one of the biggest comebacks in the Restaurant world!!! I went to La Cocina awhile back and said I think this is my last time. I found out they were making some changes with the menu and other management decisions and BOY AM I GLAD I GAVE THEM ANOTHER TRY!!! Please treat yourself, it is not what you have had before. It is better in every way. The menu is very creative and diverse and has tremendous flair and taste. Our waitress Ally could not have been sweeter or better. It was a perfect evening to begin birthday celebration weekend for Erica. Bravo all you sweet people who have made this a great place to go on 30A!!! Karen Key Smith read more

I love La Cocina and go as much as I can. I went there on the evening of 5/31 and just have to give a shout out to the bar staff. The wait staff at La Cocina is always awesome but I just wanted to give kudos to the bar staff there this evening. Most often then not when one sits in the bar area of a resturant you have to do all but cartwheels to get the bar staffs attention. Not at La Cocina. The staff was attentive and worked like a well oiled machine. Thank you La Cocina for not forgetting what customer service is about and making sure you hire wait staff that also knows what that means!!!! Miya L read more

Unfortunately, this was a pretty disappointing experience. We were hoping for flavorful, authentic Mexican food, but everything we ordered was incredibly bland, no spice, no depth, just very underwhelming. Only thing we enjoyed was the street corn. The service was ok, our server was polite and brought everything out in a timely manner, so no complaints there. But the interior of the restaurant didn't do much to help the experience. It felt dated and not very clean, it could use a serious refresh. Overall, this just wasn't the kind of place I'd return to or recommend. read more
