    Amazing food! Mi Cocina is located on the first floor inside the Galleria Dallas, in front of the ice skating rink. I ordered the Tacos de Brisket ($18.25) and chocolate tres leches ($9.95). Got complementary chips and salsa. The brisket taco was super delicious. Just meat and cheese in tortilla. Came with rice and salad. Rice was super good as well. The chocolate cake was not so good. The bread was soggy as if it got defrosted and the water seeped into the cake. The texture was not firm. Would recommend if you want really good mexican food.

    I was totally impressed with this restaurant! Inside a mall can always be questionable but not this location. Amazing service, the food was incredible and real food. We had a huge party and was seated quickly and had the best service! Even the prices were reasonable. Even in the mall the atmosphere was great. I would not skip on Mi Cocina!

    Mi Cocina is a go-to spot for flavorful Tex-Mex dishes in a vibrant and lively setting. From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere is welcoming and energetic, making it a great choice for a fun night out with friends or family. The brisket tacos were the highlight of my meal--perfectly seasoned and tender, paired with their signature chips and salsa, which were fresh and addictive. The tamales were another standout, with just the right balance of spice and flavor. One thing to note is that the restaurant can get quite busy during peak hours, which means longer wait times for seating and service. The noise level can also be on the higher side, so it may not be the best option if you're looking for a quieter dining experience. Pros: * Delicious, well-prepared Tex-Mex dishes * Friendly and attentive staff * Lively and fun atmosphere Cons: * Can get busy with longer wait times * Higher noise levels during peak hours

    queso was yummy. the beef changa was lacking flavor and only had plain beef in it. the service was phenomenal our drinks were never empty. also was greeted right when walking in. the location is nice in the mall overlooking the skating rink.

    During girls shopping day we usually stop here for snacks and drinks. The food is standard MiCocina quality. Hanging out by the skating rink is a pretty cool feature. There is generally enough room for us and our bags without making it awkward. Our usual order to go with the chips and salsa is queso and flour tortillas. The bacon wrapped shrimp appetizer is another one of our favorites. I wouldn't go out of my way to come to this location but if you're shopping in the Galleria and want to have a Tex-Mex meal, come try it out.

    Went here while on business in Dallas, Texas for a group dinner (about 40 of us). Interesting spot on the bottom of the Galleria. Chosen more for the ability to seat 40 people than the food, but decent place. Overall, pretty average Mexican with a few highlights. Not following proper Yelp review etiquette, I only got one picture ... of my meal, of course. Too bad, since some of the other items were much prettier. Live and learn. We started off with a variety of appetizers. The guacamole was very nicely done. I am assuming fresh in the shop, as it is nice and chunky and very fresh. I was not as fond of the queso, but I am not a huge fan of Tex-Mex, especially when there are Authentic-Mex options. This is likely blasphemy to Texans, so I will leave it at that. Could not eat the ceviche, as it was shrimp, but it was finished off quickly. My meal was the Ribeye al Carbon. A bit overcooked, but still tender, so not a huge issue (we also had a HUGE group, so the fact they could get this much food out that quickly is a huge bonus for the restaurant). The service was great. Always on top of things and making sure drinks were refilled. Not sure if that is the norm, as big parties spending $3 to $4 thousand often get a lot of attention, especially when alcohol is allowed in the mix. I am going to assume they are always this good, however, as I have not other experience. This is definitely a highlight. Would I go back? If I lived in this area, I would definitely consider it after trying other places. If I had kids that wanted to go ice skating (this is right next to the rink), I would be even more likely. Overall, a good experience, although more average.

    The short of it--food was fine, but certainly felt overpriced for what we ate…read more Long of it--Sat outside and it was nice. Here in Texas, chips and salsa are such a commonplace experience it's off-putting to pay for them. We ordered the guacamole and the chips and salsa come with it, so that was, I guess, better...but the guacamole was $16, so there's that. The salsa was tasty as was the guacamole, but again, for the portion it's really not worth it. We had the queso flameado, which was yummy and the flour tortillas are good! We split the sirloin and were underwhelmed. For a grilled meats place the steak was very under seasoned and wasn't giving us fresh hot grilled vibes. Meh at best, as were the rice and beans. We ordered elote as a side and it was really the best thing we ate. Service was friendly and efficient! Cocktails average $16ish. Again, for the prices we expected better.

I'll admit I was very skeptical about The Chicharrónes because they're either cooked right or they're not. They got it down here. Everything was cooked exceptionally well and delicious. 10/10 recommend. Food and drinks are great!

Chris our server was very friendly and knowledgeable. He took his time walking us through the menu and explaining what made El Carlos Elegante so special. The drinks were perfect. My wife loved her Desert Flor while I thoroughly enjoyed my Modelo Micheleda. Her Surf and Turf one hitter was exceptional. I have to say my Crab Cake was just ok. It tasted a little pasty and very heavy on the bread. The Pulpo was absolutely amazing. Perfect texture and the sauce it was served almost had me licking the plate. The El Machete was incredible from its presentation, to the freshness of the corn tortilla, to the quality of the meat inside. Definitely recommend this. We really liked our Okra + Shishito course, we just wished it had more okra in it. The two things I loved about the Al Pastor was of course the sauce it was served on but the fact that I got to enjoy it like a steak. It was served sliced on a bias like flank steak. Typically Al Pastor is finely chopped and served in tacos and burritos, so this was a different eating experience for me. And of course it was delicious as well. We cannot wait to come back and try more of the menu.

    I was genuinely excited to bring my friend here for her birthday after such an incredible…read moreexperience back in December. That visit checked every box -- the food, service, ambiance, and overall hospitality were all exceptional. What really stood out to me then was the attention to detail. I had casually mentioned that one of my cocktails wasn't quite my taste, and Harry personally reached out afterward to say they'd gladly adjust it next time. That kind of thoughtful follow-up leaves a lasting impression and is exactly the sort of hospitality that elevates a restaurant experience. Unfortunately, this recent visit felt like a completely different restaurant. We decided to do a combination of à la carte dishes along with the Experience menu after being told this version would feature entirely off-menu items, which genuinely intrigued us since Ihad also done the Experience previously. At the start of dinner, we were asked about allergies and dietary restrictions. I clearly explained that I have a mango allergy and do not eat beef. Our server then asked whether I ate other meats, and I clarified yes -- and even specifically mentioned that if the machete dish was beef, please still include it because my friend could enjoy it and I really wanted her to try it. He confirmed it would be the sirloin version, so we happily agreed not to modify that course. So imagine our surprise when one of the first dishes arrived dressed with a mango vinaigrette. Thankfully, we barely caught him quietly mentioning "mango" as he set it down. We immediately looked at each other thinking, "Didn't we just discuss the allergy?" It was disappointing, but unfortunately also representative of the overall service throughout the evening. Our server seemed disengaged, inattentive, and often not fully listening. Empty glasses sat untouched, opportunities to order additional items were missed, and at one point we were simply handed the check without even being asked if we wanted anything else. We also ordered a bottle of sparkling wine and ended up pouring it ourselves for most of the evening because our glasses were rarely refilled. I completely understand not leaving the bottle tableside if walkway space is limited, but repeatedly needing to get up ourselves to retrieve it felt out of sync with the level of service one expects from a Michelin-recommended restaurant -- especially at this price point. Then came the machete dish. Instead of the sirloin version we specifically discussed, we received the vegetarian potato version. When the server asked how it looked, I politely explained that we were disappointed because he had specifically told us it would be the sirloin preparation. At minimum, I would have expected another protein substitution given the earlier conversation about what I could eat. I'm also still unclear whether the Experience menu was truly "off-menu" as described, since several dishes -- including the halibut -- appeared familiar. Had that been communicated differently, we likely would have skipped the Experience altogether and simply curated our own meal. At the end of the night, spending over $500 while pouring our own wine, nearly being served an allergen we explicitly disclosed, and receiving dishes different from what was promised made for a deeply disappointing experience -- especially after such a phenomenal first visit. It honestly felt sad more than anything because I know how wonderful this restaurant can be. I'm not sure what changed in the last five months, but the difference was significant.
