Mi Cocina - Excellent margaritas! Double barrels are the best!! - Mexican Near Me - Plano, Texas

Wow, this was the most laughable excuse o "Tex-Mex" I've ever had. All of the items on the menu seem to be oldies-but not goodies. For the HORRIBLE service to the actual drinks and the meals, this place felt like it was robbing me when I could have gotten better at a taco truck. Upon walking in, you think the atmosphere is nice and upscale, thinking it's a treat. It wasn't. My boyfriend and were the last of our party to show up for our family dinner. When we got there, his parents were already saying that they didn't like the mojitos-- that it was missing the sweet aspect of the drink. They told the server it is missing the touch of sweetness and that it is very bitter. The waiter took their drinks and said that "he'll do it himself". After he came back, the mojitos were better. Weather or not he made it himself remained unclear. Upon settling in, the boyfriend and I asked for waters and sweet teas and a salsa for us because all the salsa was eaten by our family members. The waiter said OK, and went to go get them. It took the waiter 30 minutes to bring us back water. He forgot the salsa and neglected to tell us that they didn't serve sweet tea in their restaurant-- we were disappointed so the boyfriend ordered a margarita. By the way, their salsa is like smooth red colored vinegary sauce-- there are no chunks of tomato, onion or cilantro in it. I feel like it comes from a jar. Then as we were settling in to read the menu, the boyfriends dad ordered queso and guacamole for the table. Those weren't bad. They were okay and average. But now as we are talking and eating the queso and guac, we are running out of water, and so did the boyfriends young nephew but out of Sprite. It took this waiter another 10 minutes to come back with the sprite but not the water??? Was he purposefully ignoring the boyfriend and I ?? The boyfriends mother tried to get another waiters attention, and I SWEAR he saw her, he just ignored her as our table wasn't HIS table. Next was time to order our meals. The boyfriend does not like lettuce and he said, "NO lettuce anywhere on the plate. NOT even as a garnish" as he has a mild allergy to lettuce and makes him itchy. Guess what was on the plate? A full side salad of lettuce. Could this waiter not hear us? At this point we were basically shouting because the dining room was packed. So my boyfriend and his mother switched entrees because her meal had no lettuce on it. Even my boyfriends young nephew said he hear the boyfriend say no lettuce, and he knows every time we are out to eat my boyfriend says, "Not even as garnish." to the point of little kid copy cat..... What was this waiter's deal? Going on to MY meal, I ordered tacos de camarones...... CHEWIEST shrimp I had in my life, I had to double take because normally octopus or squid is chewy. Is THIS the BEST Tex-Mex food DFW has to offer? I'd rather drive to Houston for my fix. It's laughable and I can get better shrimp tacos and salsa from a food truck. I felt bad that my boyfriends father had to pay almost $200 for our family meal, and I felt bad that my boyfriends sister and brother shelled out for a cash tip. read more

We had such a wonderful experience at Mi Cocina! From the moment we walked in, everyone was so friendly. Our server, Angel, was absolutely amazing--attentive, kind, and made sure we had everything we needed. The food was delicious, full of flavor, and served fresh and hot. Great atmosphere, excellent service, and incredible food--we'll definitely be back! read more

I used to love Mi Cocinis in Addison, Texas. Then they had a fire and may began to work with the shop at Legacy and moved to Frisco, Texas. After moving to West Plano, I thought great, can't wait to give them a try again. Well, we did, twice and both times we came an hour before closing, and they couldn't wait for us to get out of the restaurant. The service was terrible and the food was nothing get excited about to going to Gloria's although the prices are similar. Last time we were there which was last week they literally swept the floor right up in front of our booth as in not so subtle indicator that they were ready for us to leave. Unbelievable unsanitary thing to do while you're eating a meal! We won't be back, but we will be back to Gloria's in Frisco that has better food, better, Customer Service and has never put a pile of floor droppings in front of my table in the two decades that I've gone there to eat. Forget the mambo taxis they are not the same as they used to be and this establishment is not a place that I will ever support with my dollars again. If this is what they do upfront with customers, I would hate to see what their kitchen looks like. Do yourself a favor and don't go there. read more

For a place that is so popular, the queso is a no. We started with the regular queso and returned it for the queso blanco. The queso is just flavorless... how does that even happen? The margaritas are okay. When our server brought out the waters and our margaritas.. it looked like she brought us 4 waters because the margs were so clear. Nonetheless, they tasted alright. I had the tortilla soup with very little chicken (I prefer it this way) and thank God because that chicken was really dry. I also asked for no tortilla chips in my soup. To amp up the taste of the soup I added the juice of two lemon wedges and a spoonful of salsa. Yum! Our server was very nice and took great care of us. read more

Boy, we had great food and service this afternoon. They were packed at 4:15, surprisingly, and probably a little short handed so it wasn't fast but they made up for it with great service and food. They're my favorite Mexican food res for a reason! I had the chicken enchiladas with sour cream sauce which were perfect and my husband had the Cocina Changa! That looked so good I might branch out and Try it next weekend! Thanks for a great meal! read more

I came to this location on Sunday for Mothers day, everything from the start was perfect. The hostess were very welcoming, our server made our experience memorable.

First off, mi cocina is one of my favorite restaurants. We came here expecting to order to go due to lives; however we were able to find seating at the bar. The service was superb. We were in and out in less than 30 mins, which was perfect. The tacos were delicious and they also brought us complimentary chips and salsa to go. I always purchase the Classico tacos and they did not disappoint. They were delicious as always. read more

Mi cocina is just ok.  We went on a Thursday night and it was very packed.  I got the veggie fajitas with no mushrooms.  I expected to see zucchini, squash and carrots.  While there were zucchini no squash and little bit carrots.  For some reason there was cabbage.  It didn't come with sour cream and guacamole.  The sour cream was extra.  I also got the sunset sauce which people rave about on the side. It was just spicy queso to me.  The sunset sauce also costed extra.  For the price I paid I feel as though there are better places in plano for veggie fajitas. read more

I was surprised to see they had vegan options! I tried their vegan avocado tacos. I thought it was fried avocado inside but it was straight up avocado with pepitas, jicama and seasoning. It all tasted delicious...except a bit messy and I felt like it had too much avocado. Can't wait to try the other vegan tacos! read more

It was a pleasant surprise walking into Mi Cocina. The layout was very comfortable and the full bar was impressive. As I was following the hostess to our table I couldn't believe what I was seeing. Ninjas! Okay not ninjas but a guy who appeared with chips & salsa before I was tucked nicely in my chair. I noticed that this was happening with every new table being sat. Then I watched these guys rush to a table that needed to be cleared. It took no longer than a couple of minutes after the people stood up to leave that they were there cleaning the table. I was in awe. I never knew a restaurant could run so efficiently. Our waiter showed up pretty quick as well. I wish I could remember his name. He was nice & on top of everything. Food. We ordered queso & man o man. Oh Lordy. Steak fajitas! The steak couldn't be more tender. I like the fact that the steak was cut thin & cooked perfectly. The taste was out of this world. The fixings were fresh & plentiful. I was disappointed that sour cream & cheese wasn't included but I did ask for them & he was happy to bring me some. Oh yes. I have to mention the guacamole. It is one of the best I've ever had. The huge chunks of avocado were plentiful & so tasty. Huge thumbs up. Another surprise was having my water refilled. It stayed full by any waiter who saw we needed one. Something that doesn't usually happen anywhere else. I also noticed the manager walking the floor. She was helping out when necessary which is something I don't see nearly enough. What a wonderful lady to talk too. Thank you Liliana Marin for showing such pride in what you do. Your employees are lucky to have you! We will be back!! read more

Food came out very quickly (per usual) and it was great! If you want a quick Mexican dinner, mi cocina is it. Be aware though - it is a little on the pricier side for the amount you get. Not my all time favorite Mexican place but definitely a staple! read more

Having dined at this location before a few times, after an appointment in the shopping center I decided to stop by this location since they're generally one of the better Mi Cocina locations, and today did not disappoint! My mother and I were seated very quickly and our waiter was with us fast. The ambience in the restaurant was nice and relaxed, the setting is upmarket but casual, and noise is never too high. The food was delicious and was out quickly. My fajitas were perfect and my mom loved the tacos she ordered. Portions were perfect and worth the prices charged. Our waiter was also great, we never had to ask for refills and he knew exactly when and when not to be there. Overall the experience was good and I'll be back again soon! read more

The food here is quite excellent, and the servers are very friendly and pleasant. However, the bar is horrific. I ordered an Old Fashioned--one of the simplest drinks in the world to make--and received a cup of some unidentifiable liquor with no mixers. I took the drink to the bar in order to have the bar remake it, and the bartender made the same so-called drink. I'm not sure what Mi Cocina is teaching its bartenders, but it should consider including the Restatement of Contracts in its bartender curriculum due to the fact that myself and every other aggrieved customer has grounds for a breach of contract lawsuit against the restaurant. Separately, $19 is an unreasonable price for chicken tacos. read more

I love coming here! Food is good, staff is super friendly, pricing is reasonable. I always have a great experience.

The food was absolutely delicious but the service was even better. Elizabeth was so charming and attentive we'll definitely be back!!

We got serve by the most genuine person today Ms Liz her service was amazing and she was very kind and went out her way to make sure our first time experience at mi cocina could be satisfying if I could rate her service it would be 10/10 read more

the manager here consistently lets non service animals into the restaurant and allows them to sit on the chairs and tables. a huge health code violation. since the manager has failed to do ANY kind if research i will do it for them. only service animal are allowed in a restaurant dining room. the disabled person canbe asked two questions: 1) is the animal required because of a disability, and 2) what tasks is the animal trained to perform? dogs must have 4 paws MUST be on the ground UNLESS performing a task. you can request the removal of a service animal if it is out of control and its handler does not take effective action to control it, or if the animal is not housebroken. Unacceptable behaviors include biting, growling, uncontrolled barking, jumping on people, or running away from the handler. If a service animal is removed, the individual with the disability must still be offered the opportunity to obtain goods, services, and accommodations. now that ive done the research for management hopefully theyll be better equipped. next time im calling the health department and requesting corporates number. read more

We visit the Mi Cocina Lakeside in Plano. Love the margaritas and guacamole. Ask for Chance to wait on you. He is awesome. Super friendly and always takes great care of us! read more

Mi Cocina is a staple, it's tried & true in my book. My favorite location is Richardson, but the Colony and West Plano (this one, not Legacy) come close for superior food quality and service. The extremely busy ones like at the Shops can be a huge letdown. I normally go for the Tex Mex combinations and a frozen concoction. Salsa is on the less chunky side but can REALLY pack a punch on certain days. To be completely honest, nothing on the menu will blow your mind. High stars for being a reliable spot when I'm not feeling too adventurous.

This was my first time at Mi Cocina and I definitely enjoyed the experience. The food came out fast and was very tasty. I had the beef enchiladas and it was a very good portion and I had some left over for dinner. I absolutely loved the salsa, it had just the right amount of spice. The staff were all very friendly and though I was very underdressed they treated us all just the same. I've been to plenty of places that look down on you but this wasn't the case.
