    It's a Mi Cocina type of an evening.
    Chuck M.

    My wife and I needed our Mi Cocina "chips and salsa fix," so we headed there to dine. We both love their spicy salsa and chips. They use a thicker tortilla for their chips. They don't break so easy. They also have an awesome crunch to them. With the salsa, it's a perfect pairing! Yummy. It was also a very comfortable Texas evening. We decided to sit on the patio and watch the birds salvage the dropped chips they can fly off with. Alice, our server, introduced herself with a big smile and welcomed us to Mi Cocina. She took our drink orders, two unsweetened iced teas, and asked if we had any questions about the menu. We told her no, we were regulars. While Alice was still at our table, we went ahead and ordered. Today, we'd be sharing an order of chicken fajitas with all the fixin's. Fajitas sounded really good. After a short wait, Alice was back with our sizzling fajitas. When I saw the platter, I knew I'd enjoy them; there were lots and lots of caramelized onions. The fajitas were really good. We wished the chicken had more time in the marinade. There was a good grilled flavor, but not much of a marinated flavor. Overall, the chicken fajitas were really good. Alice never let us lack for anything we needed. Thank you, Alice and Mi Cocina, for a wonderful dining experience.

    Easy Friday happy hour or for a familiar dinner spot. Pretty good, always consistent and the drinks are on point. Service is good, they are consistent and always friendly and fast. Ambiance is fun, lively. Bee. Coming here 20 years. Its a staple. The Margaritas can put you on your butt. For a good time. Get ya girl a mambo taxi. Lol

    LouAnn (1/2 the soft cheese taco, enchilada with rice and beans)
    Jenni D.

    Everything was so good! Were started with a bowl of Queso (love melted cheese) and I had a Mambo Taxi (always good) I had the LouAnn and he had the brisket tacos. (I LOVED those brisket tacos) I ate the tostada and taco and I was full. I have the soft cheese taco and enchilada with rice and beans for dinner tomorrow:) already excited about dinner!! Our server was so nice and helpful. We sat in the back where I have only sat once before and liked that I could see my car from the window.

    What the kitchen served me Latin stir fry vegetables. I did not take one but off of this plate...is the way it was sat down in front of me.

    Service was good! Food and management were awful! I didn't touch either of these plates.....they came out EXACTLY as pictured! The waiter removed both from my bill. I asked him to tell the kitchen that those dishes were shameful. I showed the pictures to the manager and he just shrugged. apparently these are not a big deal to them. Bad! Bad! Bad!

    Chicken Tortilla Soup
    A T.

    The chicken tortilla soup tasted fresh and the shredded chicken was tasty; needed more fresh avocado cubes in it & could have had a more savory broth than what it came with. The queso tasted like the canned kind instead of fresh cheese; tortilla chips are thick & slightly stale. Overall was good but wouldn't go out of my way for it.

    Mambo Taxis always hit the spot
    Amy S.

    I love this location and always get the best service. David was our server and he took such good care of us. The manager, Ana checked on us as well and overall just a great experience. This is a go to spot for me and my friends.

    Margaritas!

    A girlfriend and I stopped in for dinner after a day of shopping. Had to wait as they were busy (apparently there is a rodeo in town) but the wait wasn't too long. The food was delicious. Well the aged cheddar enchilada was great. I wasn't too fond of the picadillo but I'm super picky when it comes to picadillo. The cream sauce was also delicious. Our server was super sweet and attentive! I would definitely go back

    Fabulous dining experience! Kind & attentive servers. Perfect Tex-Mex dishes & beverages. Decor is bright & open, with so many tables & booths available AND an awesome patio space AND a great bar/seating area upstairs. Plenty of parking in the adjacent lot, & located at I-30 @ Hulen Ave. Highly recommend the Spinach Enchiladas that are served with sautéed veggies (YUM). Enjoy!

It included a green salsa, tomato based salsa and a spicier orange salsa which was my favorite. Unfortunately the chips were a bit stale which was a bummer. We also ordered the queso mesero and guacamole. The cheese had a great flavor but was a little too thick and the guacamole was plain and lacked salt. I ordered the tempura fried cod tacos and my mother ordered the tempura shrimp tacos. Both were absolutely delicious, tempura batter was perfectly crispy and the fish and shrimp were cooked correctly. Both tacos needed salt and lime though which seemed to be a theme the rest of the dinner. We also ordered the cheddar and chipotle grits and elote. There was too much cheddar in the grits and overpowered the dish and the elote desperately needed salt. We finished the dinner with the cinco leches cake and it was really good. Cake was moist and fluffy and was a great way to end dinner. Overall, I'd only come back for the tacos and cake.

And the music was fun, hip, danceable, celebratory Latino music. The wait staff, hostess and servers were all friendly and delivered excellent service. The drinks were awesome. I had a Carajillo and my wife and her friends got a bottle of champaign with three juices as a mimosa sampler (all for just $18!) I liked the chips, and they came with two different salsa - a roja and a very spicy verde. But they also brought some refritos beans to dip the chips into. How great is that? And it wasn't just their generosity that impressed me -- it was the flavor! We had a ceviche appetizer, and that was very good, but I'm spoiled on great ceviche and I wouldn't say it was as impressive as everything else we tried. Still, it was fresh and refreshing. I broke down and got the quesabirria tacos. That's a big cheat for my diet (one I'm now working off) but wow was it good - especially the consume to dip your taco in. So flavorful! So... five stars. We had a great time there and would happily return here again. Oh... and the same people own the restaurant across the street so we want to check that out, too. It's Mediterranean / Lebanese and I love that type of cuisine, too. Also... I LOVE the name of this restaurant. "La Cabrona" roughly translates to "the bad-ass, " and it's in the feminine form, so... referring to the female owner (it's owned by a couple with the wife focused on this restaurant and the hubby focused on the restaurant across the street). The term "cabrona" is sometimes not considered polite language as it sometimes has a bit of a "b*itch connotation to it. But it's a totally bad-ass moniker to place on yourself and I love that. It's all just words unless you can back it up. But from our experience here, she totally backs it up! What a fun place :-D

Disappointed for a couple of different reasons. - we wanted to sit outside on the patio and they sat us in a table that was filthy. Chips and rice everywhere on the ground under our feet when there were plenty of other table options near that were clean. Also major delays for getting our drinks and chip refills when it felt like we were the only people out there. - the food just sucked. It felt like everything that came to our table was cold and completely rid of seasoning. We ordered the blackened tilapia tacos and that was the best thing we had all night. The chicken enchiladas were a joke. We asked for the sour cream on the side and they decided to just bring out the chicken wrapped in the tortilla and that's it. Not really sure how they thought that would go... beans were cold and rice was meh. No cheese no vegetables nothing else. - I ordered a margarita with a double pour of tequila. Our server came back and said she was instructed by her manager that she can't do doubles and they would have to charge me for another drink and put the tequila in a shot glass instead of having the bartender mix it in. Never in my life have I had someone refuse to make a double. I was curious why this place was so dead on a Friday night but now it makes perfect sense. It's just not a good restaurant. Save your $$ and go eat somewhere else.

    First time here and it was such a positive experience. I was a little confused about dressed code…read morebut it really is a mix. We were over dressed but there were some really casually dressed people so I'd say just come hungry or sort of hungry. I had seen all the buzz about the fried cactus and as someone who has grown up eating all my life I was intrigued on how this would be any different. Boy was I wrong. In fact, I would be happy enough just coming and eating only this. I have some sort of food limerence where I cannot stop thinking about this. Like daily! I want it so bad. No it was a whole experience because waiter placed this bowl towering with a mountain of curly crunchy ribbons. He kindly gave us his advice on the best way to eat it. You take their fresh made blue corn tortilla, pile on the cactus, don't be shy, if it fits in your mouth just go for it, then that green sauce was heavenly. All the flavors combined made me levitate. That would've been embarrassing. You could easy fill up on this alone given enough time and privacy. I just wanted a moment alone to enjoy fully ha ha. I then ordered the Chile en Nogada and the picture alone was enough for me to go yes we're on our way immediately. However listen I am a self proclaimed gift wrapping queen. I know a good ribbon and a good bow. I know that the typical dish has a bow - yes a fabric bow but this bow was not up to the standard of this restaurant, unfinished edges, and the color satin gold was not really representative of the environment. Good thing the bow is not edible but visually it could use a little improvement. The dish itself was 4 out of 5 for me only because I have had this dish before at a more casual space and every component of the dish was full flavored, where this one feels a bit safe. For dessert I was a little unimpressed with the options. I am not a fan of tres leches so I did not order their most famous desert but instead opted for another one that was a pastry with ice cream on top. I also give it 4 out of 5 its needing more flavor and sweetness, I mean this is dessert. The five stars is more for the service. Our server was amazing. He described every dish we ordered as if we were watching a Netflix documentary of a chef competition and they just submitted their dish. The table next to us got an amuse bouche compliments of the chef and I didn't want to be too nosy and peek over so I have no idea what it was. I was really hoping we'd get one too because honestly I was still hungry after all that. Oh cocktails. We ordered a drink before our table was available and I was not playing. I remember ordering a glass of bubbly rose and when our server brought it he served me a sip and had me try it before I decided, but honestly I wanted to tell him that I couldn't feel my face just pour it.
