    Robert, Linda & Nancy
    Ron M.

    Met up with a couple Nancy has known for several years, Robert & Linda. We ate lunch at Mi Cocina in Plano. Nancy had the "Taco Salad"; Picadillo Beef, Romaine, Iceberg Lettuce, Aged Cheddar, Jack Cheese, Avocado, Tomato, Pico de Gallo, y Tortilla Strips. I ordered the "Tacos Habana"; Chile Adobo Chicken, Onion, Cilantro, Corn Tortillas, Pica-Pica, Avocado Ensalada, y Arroz Verde. They also provide you with fresh chips and red sauce to enjoy while there, and they refill often. We chatted for some time before ordering, while eating, and after eating. It's been a long time since they last saw each other and had a lot to catch up on. Our food arrived, and all was a beautiful presentation. Each Mexican Restaurant serves its food differently, and they did that with the Taco Salad. The Shell is filled with Picadillo Beef to the top with the rest of the goodies underneath and all around. Nancy enjoyed all that she ate, and I finished off the rest - and it was all good stuff. Nicely seasoned beef and very tasty Taco Salad. My Tacos Havana was also very good, and a good amount of everything. I ate all of mine - no leftovers here. The chips and red sauce were also really good, with just the right amount of spiciness. Check out Mi Cocina at; http://www.micocina.com - they have several locations all around Dallas & Fort Worth area - and then some.

    I recently went to Mi Cocina with family on a Friday night. We didn't have a reservation and we only had a short wait. Though they had a large party down the middle of the room & it was hard to get between their chairs, I'm not sure how the servers kept coming back & forth. Our server also seemed new & nervous. He didn't write down things we asked for so we usually had to ask a couple times. The food was great! I usually order the chili relleno which I don't think is on the menu but man it's so good! This time I decided to try a salad. Omg! It was AMAZING! When I first got it, I was like this thing is so small but then I started eating it & it lost its shape & figured out it was huge. I didn't finish it. I do wish there was slightly more chicken & a little less dressing but those are easy requests. Overall I enjoyed the food & would go back.

    Dinner at Mi Cocina was such a vibe! Came here with my husband for a date night and everything was spot on. We got the beef fajitas -- they came out sizzling, loaded with perfectly grilled steak, onions, peppers, and crispy potato wedges. So good! All the sides were fresh -- guac, pico, beans, rice, and chips -- super tasty and plenty to share. We sat outside on the patio with a glass of red wine, and it was just the perfect chill evening. Service was great too -- friendly and fast without being too much. Definitely one of our go-to spots now when we're in Plano!

    Number 10 lunch special

    This is the second Mi Cocina spot I have been too in Dallas and this was way better than the other one. First off the ambiance was great. There was indoor and outdoor. Was seated outdoor per request and they had a small pond of water outside which was really nice the warm weather. Service was good gave us refills on their chips and salsa, which was very good. I ordered the number 10 special which was the pork tamales with rice and beans. The presentation, portion and taste were all great. Would recommend coming here for their lunch special as you get a good amount of food for a good price

    Chips and salsa

    First of all, I have never had ground beef in enchiladas. I will leave it at that. Let's be honest, I am surrounded by A LOT of good Mexican food but, I am also not a fan of Tex Mex. I've tried. This is my 3rd time in Dallas visiting my friend and each time I leave thinking "people like this?" I'm sorry! It's just a preference. I met a lady at the airport who even brought this place up! I don't want queso with every meal and all the queso's I've tried has been okay. I've had a better one at a restaurant in Palm Springs. The service was fantastic so I gave it 3 stars. It was also fun to hang out with my friend and her friends. (sorority sisters -- we old though) The salsa was good. I enjoyed that. Oh, and something about the mambo taxi being dangerous.

And the margaritas are strong and well priced, we have eaten at other mexican food establishments and they charge $18 for sweet lime-aid. We usually ask for Eric since he's our favorite!

The bartender was attentive, kind, and professional. The atmosphere felt welcoming, and you can tell they have loyal regulars, which always speaks well of a restaurant. The staff overall seemed consistent and friendly. Now for the food. I ordered the queso to start. The flavor was good, but it wasn't hot -- more lukewarm than fresh-out-the-kitchen warm. For my entrée, I had the skirt steak with beans, pico de gallo, enchilada, and rice. The flavors were solid, but again, the plate came out lukewarm. For a Tex-Mex spot, temperature really matters. I don't need it piping hot, but I do expect my food to feel freshly made and properly heated when it arrives. That was my only disappointment. I've ordered carryout before without issue, and because the service and vibe are strong, I will definitely be back to give it another try. I just hope next time the food comes out hot and fresh. Overall: great service, good flavors, strong local energy -- just room for improvement on food temperature.

    I haven't been to Salsa Tex Mex in at least 5 years. My girlfriend happened to run into someone and…read morestrike up a conversation about food and this person let her know that Salsa had hired away the GM of a Gloria's and made improvements in their food, service, and "everything." What I can say is that Salsa now has salsa, chips and black bean dip just like Gloria's; yes, that iconic, tasteless black bean dip that could stand to have some salt, cumin, paprika, chili powder, black pepper, Mexican oregano and onion added - you know... adobo! Ambiance - basically a dirty school cafeteria. The floors have been stripped to concrete and the noise level is at a steady 80+ decibels. The chairs, tables and vinyl tablecloths ache for a good scrubbing. Speaking of noise - one of the margarita machines was as loud as a lawn mower. Why? Well when a random server saw me staring at the machine and asked me if everything was ok, I said, "you know, I think if the side panel were put back on, that margarita machine would be much quieter." He looks at me and says, "yes, but then it would overheat again because it is too close to the other margarita machine. It was quiet when we had it on the other side of the bar, but the manager wants them together." Then he laughs and walks off. Speaking of laughs, our server was a riot. We ordered a hamburger for our four year old. When ordered, I asked the server to bring mayonesa (mayonnaise) and not ketchup. She says, "ok, we don't have the mayonesa so you can have ketchup so that's ok." I asked if she had any other salsas like a salsa macha. She said they have a habanero and a molcajete salsa and brought them to us. The habanero was fruity and not at all spicy. The molcajete had actually gone bad. It tasted rancid and smelled. I told the server and she said, " oh no. Ok." Then she walked off and didn't take the bowl and no doubt didn't tell anyone. I ordered the Churrasco and my girlfriend the Rene. When our food arrived, the kids hamburger was placed on the table with a warning about the plate being very hot. Who puts a kid meal on a plate that is hot?!?! Also who puts a ramekin of chimichuri sauce on top of the steak? FWIW, the chimichuri was not even close to being chimichuri. On the upside I stopped a bus boy and asked for mayo and amazingly, he brought some. The server came back and said, "oh, you got mayonnaise!" Then I asked (in Spanish) why she told me she didn't have mayo. She babbled incomprehensibly in a mix of English and Spanish that was a mix of lies and half truths. Who lies about mayo for a kid? Our meals were unremarkable and tasted like Sysco foods TV dinners. The only thing that I can tell has been improved is the prices - in Salsa's favor. Salsa Tex Mex - do better. Hire staff that actually cares about your restaurant and customers. Train your wait staff. Improve your recipes, source higher quality ingredients, and simplify your menu. Fix your equipment and ambiance. 2 stars because at least the water glasses were clean, the margaritas were strong, we didn't have to wait long to check out.

The vegetarian options were also very limited, with only about three dishes on the entire menu. My vegetarian enchiladas were served incorrectly twice, first with meat sauce, then with an entirely wrong preparation. It took three attempts and manager involvement to correct a basic order. By that point, I had lost my appetite. Service throughout the meal was poor. We had to request water three separate times, which reflects a lack of attentiveness. The most concerning issue was being charged $1.50 for pico de gallo that was provided while correcting their own mistake, despite being told it would be taken care of. This reflects a clear lack of professionalism, accountability, and customer care. I will not be returning and cannot recommend this restaurant.
