Taco Tuesday!! Mi Cocina at the Frisco Star was CRAZY this evening because the cowboys were practicing and signing autographs. We sat at the bar. The service by Mercedes, specifically. She was very attentive and even though she may have been overwhelmed, she handled everything gracefully and friendly. Do not remove her from the bar area!!! read more

The street tacos were amazing and I enjoyed the taste of the guacamole. I was there for a business lunch. The salsa was the perfect temperature and texture, however the chips were hard to chew on. Great atmosphere, clean; and fast service. read more

Perfect dining experience for a corporate lunch or when you want a quick meal near Legacy! The interior is cozy and fits the vibe of the location well. The service is always fast and attentive, and the portions are reasonable. The food however is nothing to rave about, definitely not something I would actively crave or seek out read more

Mi Cocina - #12 - Half Chicken Quesadilla with Ensalada - Tex-Mex Near Me - Frisco, Texas

A group of us were in Frisco to attend a musical at one of the local high schools. Of course we were going to have dinner beforehand. Since I was the "Yelp Expert" they left it up to me to figure out where we were going to eat. My wife and I love Mi Cocina, especially their salsa and chips. Our friends hadn't been to Mi Cocina in quite a while, so we set our sights to head to Mi Cocina. There was also an extra plus, it was a cold and blustery day. Tex-Mex, to all of us, sounded perfect to warm up our tummies. My wife and I've been to many of the Mi Cocina locations, but never this one. When we walked in, I was stunned. In fact, so stunned I forgot to take photos of the decor. This location is one of beautiful locations that we've visited. The decor is so inviting and has a phenomenal staff. While we waited we all took seats on one of the sofas in the lobby by the hostess stand. The furniture is a bit low for older individuals to get up from. When our pager went off, one of the managers came by and helped each one of us get up. Now that is true customer service paying extra attention to customer's needs. The manager then asked for our menus from the hostess and led us to our table ensuring we were all comfortable. Chips and salsa were brought to our table. I immediately asked for extra salsa since I knew I was going to need it. I always go through a lot of salsas. Kasim, our attentive server, greeted us asking if this was the first visit to Mi Cocina and if we had any questions about the menu. We said none so he took our drink orders. I opted for my fav, a Mambo Taxi, one of Mi Cocina's signature drinks. I ordered the Tacos Mi Terra, beef fajita street tacos, three of them with pico, guac, beans and rice. My wife ordered two crispy beef tacos. Our friends, a chicken fajita salad and an enchilada platter. As we chatted and waited on our entrees, we munched on WAY too many chips. I depleted one bowl of salsa and moved on to the next one. All of our entrees were so delicious. I had enough chopped beef fajita to make 6 tacos instead of three. The beef was marinated and grilled to perfection. The guacamole was over the top. There was nothing on the platter I didn't enjoy. Everyone's entrees were prepared perfectly. Kasim delivered so of the most attentive service we've experienced in quite a while. Thank you, Mi Cocina, for a wonderful visit. My "Yelp Expert" guidance remains in tack with our dear friends. I am a trusted source of restaurant information for them. read more

Mi Cocina is already one of my favorite spots, but this visit stood out even more than usual. Liz, our server, was amazing. She was so attentive, friendly, and on top of everything the entire time. The food was delicious as always, and the mambo taxis never disappoint. The patio made it even better on such a beautiful day. read more

Visiting in town for only a few days. This spot is located across from silver and blue parking near The Star. Easy walking access to many food and drink spots. Stopped in for lunch and enjoyed the Rico salad (no cheese). The salad with plentiful and fresh. They were not shy on the topping which made this salad delicious. The place was busy. Quite beautiful decorated with large lounge chairs. If you are looking for a quiet, intimate place this is not it. But if you're looking for a place to grab a bite of fresh, great food, amazing salsa and a drink- I would recommend. read more

We just ordered guacamole and we also got the complimentary chips and salsa. The flavor was good, the salsa was a bit too spicy for us, they brought some less spicy but the flavor wasn't as good. We enjoyed the outdoor seating, it was the perfect weather. Service was decent, his towards the end when we were waiting to go we had to ask someone to get our server so we could pay. read more

I was at the star for happy hour with friends and we decided to go to an oldie but goodie Mi Cocina. After arriving at Mi Cocina we were quickly seated. It was packed. I think this is because of the affordability, tasty chips and salsa, great service, delicious drinks, and family environment. I love the chips and salsa and always like coming here just for that. I got the mambo taxi cocktail. I hadn't had this cocktail in several years but it was as nice as I remembered and I was glad I got it. I was really hungry and got the shrimp ceviche as my meal. It was very tasty. Mi Cocina is still a great option and is always a great choice! read more

Always heard good things about Mi Cocina, so we stopped by for the very first time for Cinco De Mayo! We were seated and got our chips and salsa quickly! Our server, Aubrey, was truly a doll! She was patient and so accommodating. I got the famous mambo taxi and a mix of chicken and beef fajitas with corn & flour tortillas! It was all so delicious! I really enjoyed Mi Cocina's salsa as well; it was so addicting. The only downside of the visit was how slow the food and drink got out to us. I noticed it took a while for other tables to get their food too, so it was disappointing to wait when it wasn't such a full house! Aubrey was extremely sweet about everything, and she was truly what made the visit worthwhile! Overall had a good first experience here, I'd try Mi Cocina again. read more

Went here with my family today. Food was great and service was quick. Ambience was also cool. I tried their Rico Salad, chips with guacamole, and the red fish which were also flavorful. However what I did not like was how they would want to take your plate without asking you if you were finished with your food. Overall though I still recommend this restaurant. read more

I've been eating at Mi Cocina for decades and have had great experiences at locations across DFW. The Star location is consistently the worst. Every visit seems to involve slow, inattentive service. This time I sat at the bar, waited far too long (and had to ask) for a menu, had to flag down the bartender to order, and was served a disappointing margarita. The final straw was being told I couldn't substitute the guacamole and pico for a side of sautéed vegetables. I wasn't asking for anything more expensive - in fact, I was offering to trade two sides for one. The request was immediately denied without any attempt to accommodate a reasonable modification. Only after I asked for my check and decided to leave did the bartender suddenly offer to check with the manager. At some point, a pattern is a management problem, not a staff problem. There are too many good restaurants in Frisco to keep giving this location chances. read more

Mi Cocina - Tex-Mex Near Me - Frisco, Texas

For context, I visited with a group of coworkers for dinner on a weeknight. We were a little confused initially because when we called ahead, we were told that they didn't take reservations - but when our group of eight got there and needed a table, they didn't have one due to another reservation. Huh. It was fine, and we pulled up chairs to make it work, but something to take note of if you are bringing a large group. Outside of that, service was attentive and friendly. I was a little disappointed in the food. Maybe it was my choice of entree, but the chicken inside my enchiladas was seriously dry. The sauce on top helped a little, but it wasn't the moist, slow-cooked shredded chicken one expects in Mexican food. The flavors weren't bad, but it always hurts when a dish is too dry. I would consider going back to try a different entree, but I wasn't blown away by this experience. read more

Mi Cocina - Tex-Mex Near Me - Frisco, Texas

I felt like having some Mexican food with my girl, and it was seriously a great find out of all the restaurants here in Frisco. We felt like it was fate, as corny as that sounds! I got to have soup before my meal, the chicken tortilla, it was so good! But the best part of the night is definitely the tacos, it had new york strip steak in them. Amazing, and a sangria to top it off was the cherry on top. Not only do I recommend this spot, my girlfriend also does to her friends! Might come back this weekend! read more

Whoever is bartending at this location, the young lady in the front I think it's time for you guys to have a talk with her. I literally sat down and it took her almost 10 minutes to even acknowledge me mind you it was only four people at the bar and it was around 8:30 so it wasn't that busy. She was at the prompt computer and then she was on her phone while I was trying to be served. Then she comes and decides to take the drink order. Then it took her another 20 minutes to take my food order. This is the second time I was here and she was bartending and same thing happen. It takes her a very long time to get people's orders. The food itself was not good and my order was wrong and had to be sent back. Y'all need to hire a better workers who don't stand there and socialize and pay attention to your guest. read more

We absolutely loved this place! It's so cute inside and has good music and vibes. Came here with my daughter and we got the queso, a quesadilla, and the tamales. It was all very flavorful and delicious. We loved the rice and beans as well. What really made the difference was the service. They were amazing and when we were ready to go they packed all the leftover food up for us and brought to go fresh chips, salsa, and drinks for us! It was a great experience and we will definitely return!! read more

Service & staff in general was great Food came out fast and the ambiance is just familiar and elegant. I loved it. Brenda was our server and she was phenomenal at every single aspect, I hope to have her as our server next time we come back Thank you guys! read more

Let's start with the Ambiance it's so beautiful in here. I really enjoyed the way they decorated this space! The food doesn't quite match the ambiance. It's good but not great. I ordered the flautas and the chicken quesadillas. The Flautas were good just a little burnt on the end but not horribly (Forgot to get a picture). I enjoyed the quesadillas a lot honestly. The service was great! They were able to accommodate my sister's larger party, and they were attentive. Also, my cousin requested a strawberry lemon drop, and my server made it happen! read more

First time eating here. I've heard nothing but great things about this restaurant so it was time to try it for myself. We were sat quickly, drunk orders taken quickly and chips and salsa arrived shortly after. I ordered the Brisket tacos and they were amazing! The legendary "Mambo Taxi" was also delicious! The restaurant overall was clean and not overly crowded. I would definitely recommend. read more

FIVE stars! I had such a positive experience here. Even on a Friday night, the wait was pretty short and I was able to get some food/drinks before going out at The Star. The drinks are really affordable (and HUGE??) and my food was great. Service was excellent and I found that everyone I interacted with was notably personable and pleasant! The restaurant is decorated well with a lot of cool lights and wall art. I got the Gina's, my favorite thing to order for variety, and the mambo taxi and sangria. The sangria glass is huge, larger than water glasses! The mambo taxi is very strong so I would be careful drinking more than one. I highly recommend this location and will be returning. read more

This is the first time that I have visited any of the locations and was totally surprised by the food- expecting the norm Tex Mex. I ordered the Tacos "De Pescado" which was three Grouper tacos, a yummy Salad, and Cilantro rice. Everything was so delicious. The only drawback was that the place is very modern and echoey so it was extremely loud. The music was super loud, as well, so everyone was talking over each other. I like a more woodsy, quiet place to eat my food. If I go back, I'll try the bar area which looked a little more quaint. read more

Mi Cocina was nice and clean when we walked in, and it wasn't busy at all--but to be fair, it was early afternoon on a Thursday. The atmosphere was calm, and the space itself is definitely well put together. I ordered the poblano enchiladas, and honestly, they were just okay. Nothing really stood out. Surprisingly, the chips and salsa ended up being the highlight of the meal--super fresh and flavorful. Our waiter was alright. He seemed more focused on chatting with coworkers than checking on our table, but maybe it was just one of those slower days. All in all, I'm not sure I'd go back on my own. Maybe for a business dinner or something more casual, since the space is nice. But for the food alone? Probably not. read more

Great atmosphere/design. Loud. Food is a slightly elevated version of traditional Mexican. Service was not as on point as it could be. Drinks are super good!! Best part of the evening. read more

The owner comes from El Salvador and his recipes are outstanding! All of the staff is amazing and very knowledgeable! The chips are fresh and delicious and they come with a spicy salsa and a black bean dip! I could eat just them and wash it down with a delicious Paloma! You have to experience the fried plantains and dip OMG they are so good and the portions are enough to share. If a restaurant offers Flautas I always try them and these are pretty good especially when dipped in the black beans or salsa. A fun way to sample the menu is the sampling plate that comes with chicken nachos, flautas and quesadillas make this a meal or appetizer to share as it is a lot of food. Make sure to save room for the churros with carmel inside and vanilla ice cream for dessert! read more

The service and ambiance were outstanding. The food unfortunately was not for me. I ordered the Salmon Adobo. The salmon was overcooked and dry. It was also the blandest meal I've had in a long time. I had to ask for salt and lemon to try fixing it, and still it was just so sad. I ended up not finishing my meal and I went somewhere. Spent $30 including tip on an unedible meal. read more

Demario is great! he was very attentive and was a great experience. keep the trial drink!

Linda and Nancy are great. I especially like the way they delivered the togo order to the disabled person

Ordered to go on a Tuesday night and this place was pretty busy when we arrived. Ordered our food at 6:09 and got an email saying our order would be ready at 6:31pm. I went up to the host at 6:30 and let her know I was picking up an order and after checking on it she said that it would be a few mins, no problem as it was crowded. At 6:43 they brought our food out and we headed back to our hotel which is located less than half a mile away. When we opened our food it was cold, we were super disappointed as we had to wait longer for our food and then received cold food. The food was okay but I'm sure it would have been amazing if it was hot. Maybe this place is fabulous when dining in but definitely missed the part for takeout. We did order frozen margaritas to go and those were great! read more
