Yes! I come to this spot at least once a week and order to go! The migas - 1 taco ... I switch the hard shell to soft shell and then enjoy their two enchiladas with rice /beans and chips & salsa! I love it! It's the perfect meal every time! Love sitting outside on their patio! Great customer service each time I go!

Mi Tierra Tacos lunch

Server killed it! Best service I've had in quite a while, during a busy lunch, with a party of 6 that had all kinds of special requests. He remembered all the entree modifications, special hot sauce, and made so many drink refill trips. It was impressive.

Came here on a Monday night about 630pm. We were greeted and seated very quickly. Our waiter Hector was very nice and suggested the Skinny Mambo -it was delicious. The food was also very good!! I enjoyed this plate as it had variety of different foods. I can't wait to come again and try other plates.

Texas Redfish y Avocado Ceviche

This is my location after moving back to the Las Colinas area a few years ago, and it's one of my favorites. The entire staff is just lovely, and management does a great job. They really make me feel at home. I typically order one of my 4-5 favorites, but I appreciate that they experiment with new menu items quite often. They've had several new fish items on the menu, which have been very good. Unfortunately, some menu items don't last, as I assume they just aren't that popular. I've been heartbroken over a few of them. I'm looking at you, chili crisp green beans! I miss the old (shrimp) ceviche with mango, and the new (shrimp) ceviche is okay. But I finally tried the redfish ceviche. OMG. It was so good! Why have I waited so long to try this? Speaking of shrimp/fish, this location nails the cooking every time. It's never overcooked or rubbery. Kudos to the kitchen. The restaurant is always clean and welcoming. I love the new booths/chairs, btw. This is literally my chill out and eat solo place. It just makes me happy! A few of my favs: Frozen margarita, of course Shrimp or brisket quesadillas Nachos mi tierra - not on the menu but they will make it (compare to Tacos mi tierra for ingredients) Rico salad with chili lime dressing Tortilla soup Tacos de camarones - chipotle lime Spinach enchiladas - with latin stir-fry veggies on top Picture is the redfish ceviche.

By sheer chance, we happened to enjoy a meal at this Irving, TX location of Mi Cocina. This past Monday, we needed a meetup spot to catch-up with our daughter. Since this Mi Cocina was at about the halfway point between our residences, we chose it for an early dinner. We were very glad we selected Mi Cocina and were very pleased with almost every aspect of our dining experience! There were four of us in our party and we arrived at the restaurant right around 4:00, p.m.; so, a little early. Our first impression was that the restaurant was NOT a typical Mexican/Tex-Mex food restaurant. The restaurant is tastefully decorated, with a sort of mid-century modern design - clean lines, simple and unpretentious - it was also very clean! As appetizers, we ordered: the Cocina Platter, a small Queso, and the Guacamole "Mexicano." For our meals, we ordered: Cocina Changa, Beef Fajitas for Two, and the Crispy Taco Dinner. I appreciated very much that our appetizer order was sought at the time our drink order was taken. This allowed for us to receive the appetizers well in advance of our meals arriving to the table. We really enjoyed the timing of everything! Our Server was VERY attentive and no drink sat or even reached "empty." From the complimentary Chips & Salsa to the Last Bite, everything we ordered was fresh and tasty! The Salsa had the perfect level two-three of heat, the Pico de Gallo was perfectly made in tiny diced chunks, everything on the Cocina Platter was creatively made and delicious, and flavors of everything came through with prominence in their own right, without being overpowering. All of the food arrived at our table piping hot. The Beef Fajita meat flavor was awesome and the meat was so tender and of such a quality that there was no having to tug with every bite. The meat chewed perfectly!! There were only a few things that made the whole experience less than perfect. First, the short/stubby beer glasses, while very much appropriately chilled, are only about three inches tall and square shaped. My wife and daughter had a brief discussion about whether it was easier to drink from the glass out of a corner or along an edge. We got a chuckle out of it! My son's Cocina Changa lacked sauce or gravy, which he said he would have appreciated. That said, he did not speak up until the end of the meal, when I queried everyone about their meals. And finally, the toilet in the Men's Restroom was in need of a repair, with a worn Wax Seal. Lastly, the drinks were also fresh and tasty, with no slime in the ice machine or moldy flavor or smell. Always a plus!! The restroom was cleaned and stocked. We were so very happy to have found such a gem of a restaurant in the DFW area! Having experienced some of the best Tex-Mex/ Mexican food in Houston, New Mexico, and California, Mi Cocina is the ONLY Tex-Mex restaurant in the DFW area that I find to be on par with those other very good experiences! For your use, I've posted an image of the current menu. If you're one who appreciates a refined Mexican food experience and have longed to find the place for it, look no further because you have arrived! You cannot go wrong with Mi Cocina, so give it a try and... Eat Well. Be Well. Cheers!

Tacos Mi Tierra

Awesome, authentic and delicious food! The service is top tier here. It doesn't take long for the food to come out after ordering. I love it here.

Nachos Locos - 6 piece
Yolanda H.

I am a fan of Tex Mex; especially with beef picadollo. When I need a cheesy savory fix, I stop by Mi Cocina. The Nachos Locos is a satisfying selection as appetizer or meal.

Esperaba comer unos tacos mi tierra con un guacamole fresco pero me llevé esta sorpresa  guacamole negro no me gusta

I was really looking forward to enjoying my tacos "Mi Tierra" with fresh guacamole, but unfortunately the guacamole/ avocado was very dark and clearly oxidized. It did not look fresh at all. This was disappointing, as freshness is very important, especially with ingredients like avocado. I hope they can improve quality control. On a positive note, our server was kind and attentive throughout our visit. I truly appreciate her service.

My family & I came here to celebrate my dad's birthday! We love Mi Cocina's food! It's delicious. Service was top notch provided by our server, Eduardo and the manager José Luis Chac!!! We were sat in a chill area of the restaurant. So we weren't near the hustle & bustle of things. The restaurant staff even came out to sing my dad Happy Birthday!

I was impressed to see power outlets along the purse hooks below the bar - if you wanted to bring a laptop and catch up on work emails, it'd be possible. Our waitress was business-like and a little unfriendly, and service was terribly slow. The food was good. Free refills on our drinks flowed freely. I tried a veggie burger which was a bit spicy and oaty. I wish I'd tried a salad! Still, I appreciated that they worked with me on reserving tables for a large group all with separate checks.

The menu continues to surprise me; this visit was during Irving's recent Cinco de Mayo event on the TMF Plaza. My Overall Rating - 4 Stars, 5 Stars if the weather is amazing and there is an event on the plaza. Atmosphere - When the weather is nice, Reservoirs doors are open, and there is an event on the plaza, Reservoir shows its superpowers. I came for Irving's Cinco de Mayo event, and we ended up dining at Reservoir because all the doors were open letting the fresh air, music, and energy in. It's like riding in a convertible. 1 Star. Service - You seat yourself. Honestly, this is the only challenge with Reservoir. The combination of phenomenal weather, an event, and a busy restaurant led to long waits. Our server was super nice and got us everything we needed, but we had to be patient to finish up. 1/2 Star. Food - I continue to me surprised with Reservoirs menu. On my most recent visit, I went with the Apple Honey Gorgonzola pizza. This white pizza was outstanding. This tasty pie was presented well too! The pizza was served on red and white checkered paper and a wooden square. The cheese was mild and allowed the sweet apple to shine, but the honey added another layer of flavor. And the pizza crust? Soft, but it held up the cheese and apples. Not sure if they use a wood fired pizza oven, but it sure was tasty.

On a side note, I know for a fact that this company requires all their managers to be clean shaven.

I'd rather the dude making my food be clean shaven for obvious reasons. Unlikely that I return.
