Long story short. Upscale Tex-Mex with a few more options above and beyond regular Tex-Mex. My friend and I both enjoyed their outdoor dining for an early lunch. Most importantly, I was impressed by the service -- whether it was keeping drinks refilled, being knowledgeable about the menu (such as mentioning that the cheese enchiladas had onions), and getting our order fulfilled quickly and correctly. And speaking of the outdoor dining, it's a pleasant surprise -- you sit on a sheltered patio overlooking Plano's "Lakeside Lake." Not at all what you'd expect in a big shopping center. read more

Food environment music and margaritas are all next level. I recommend the crispy chicken enchiladas and a mambo taxi or two. Service is always on point. read more

Mi Cocina is always consistent in all of its locations. There's lots for the kids to love here too. I really love the tacos mi Tierra and tacos habana. The flavors are amazing!! Just enough spice and lots of variety. Be sure to try a mojito or their infamous Mambo Taxi. Their cocktails are delicious and they have great happy hour specials too! read more

What more can I say about this mi cocina? I've been coming to this location for 15 years (half my life? What?) and it's one of my favorite places in the world. Tito, the bartender, is truly the maestro of this place. He's been here just as long as I've been coming here! I no longer live in Plano but this is ALWAYS my first and last stop when I come to Plano. The food is amazing and consistent throughout the decades and I would bathe myself in their salsa if I could. The mambo taxi is the best margarita in Dallas - hands down. I can't recommend this place enough. Not only for food but for the service as well. read more

I went the last Saturday. We were seated with a waiter by the name of Raffaele. Hope I spelled that correctly. He was so awesome and very attentive. We probably bugged him too much, but he didn't seem to mind and was awesome and helped us with all our crazy wants. He recommended a dish, I do not remember the name of it but something with Chicken, to me and I ordered it. It was good and I told him he knew his stuff. He kept our drinks filled and kept checking on us just the right number of times to make sure we were ok or needed anything. If you go to this Mi Cocina, I highly recommend you request to be sat in Raffaele's (again, hope I spelled that correctly) section. You will not regret it. His service is awesome. great and above a 5 star. I couldn't go higher but if I could, I would have given him a 10+. read more

We went into MiCocina yesterday and placed an order to go. I know the cost of everything has gone up, but wow their prices are crazy high. We ordered quesadillas, enchilada plate, brisket tacos and two margaritas. The bill was $85.00. We were so annoyed when we got home to find the enchilada order had chili sauce instead of queso and we couldn't eat it. We were too tired to go back up there so we threw it away. There are allot of amazing mom & pop mexican places in Plano that we usually go too, but my daughter loves MiCocina so we went there. We were so disappointed, what a waste of money. read more

OK Mexican food, living in So Cal the Mexican food is way better here. The tacos were super salty, chips not even warm, salsa OK. Need to find other places in the area ext time. read more

Every time I go there the service it's amazing. My food is always delicious never have to complain there and their chops and salsa are to die for. Their restaurant is clean as well so no need to worry about that. read more

Absolute worst experience! Haven't been here in years and wow just over all terrible terrible service, sub par food. The minute we walked in we were treated awful. I am shocked and have never been treated so bad. Server came to our table after waiting 20 minutes and said "do you know what you want?"...ummmm okay....from here it was just 100% down hill. Then our server wants to hurry and rush us out?? We were done with our dinner n drinks by 9:45pm and they close at 11pm. Okay so you're tired of working are you??!!Guess so because he sat at the booth next to us and checked his own cell phone???!! Really?? We spent over $200 in food and drinks and will never return!! Absolutely insured and pathetic. The staff and management at Mi Cocina doesn't care. The "people in charge" are laughable when you tell them what's going on. Bartenders don't care about service or you either. My husband even had to get up and order a drink from the bar since our waiter was so bad. Please SAVE yourself and go somewhere else! Don't spend your hard earn money and time here friends. read more

This place has been a favorite of mine for 18 years plus. I came again today, and the service as always was fantastic. Hands down, they have the best margaritas in the DFW area. ( and the best bartender Tito ) The food was fresh and delicious. So glad to get to dine in again here after COVID 19; and they have reopened in the safest way possible. All employees wear masks, have a sanitizing station, bar closed to avoid crowding for drink orders from patrons, tables separated at least 6 feet apart. We can't wait to continue coming back and enjoying the excellent service, best margaritas in town, and great Tex mex. read more

After not eating at this location for nearly 6 months we were greeted by a friendly face. Tito, the best bartender, was so welcoming as usual. He's the reason we made the drive and we are glad we did. read more

Mi Cocina never disappoints! A great environment to indulge in delicious Tex-Mex cuisine. Ask for Eriyana at the Plano location if you want the full experience. Outstanding service very knowledgeable over the menu, that complemented the excellent cuisine. read more

I had never been to one of these restaurants before, but I was pleasantly surprised that the quality and speed of the service was great. Charles, our server, was very attentive, and the availability of vegan options on the menu provided something for my friend to enjoy, which is not always the case in Tex-Mex places. I will definitely be coming back! read more

Honestly when u charge me for spicy sauce I am not going to give u a good review. Seriously that's not cool. Food was an average, no WOW! Factor at all sadly. read more

I was shocked this place has so many locations after tasting their food. The service was subpar and the food was horrible

Very impressed with the service we received at Mi Cocina. We called same day to make a reservation, specifically on the patio for a large group. When we arrived our tables were ready and the service was very attentive. They divided our table into two servers. We never had to look for someone to refill our drinks or take our order. They held our cake in the back fridge until we were ready for it and when they brought it out the candles were already lit and they had the extra plates and forks ready. They did not even charge a gratuity tip due to our table size. Other than the amazing service we received I loved my shrimp tacos and the brisket quesadilla. Everyone loved their food and the portion size is huge! read more

We have become regulars here and come at least once a week. We prefer the bar and can't wait for things to get back to normal and be able to sit and chat with Tito. For now we try for a round booth or the patio and they are always accommodating. The Rico salad chopped is a great deal and a huge salad. All the food is consistently good. Tito makes the best drinks of any bartender in the area and we look forward to visiting. They seem to be using all safety precautions with a sanitization station, masks, gloves, and proper social distancing with tables. We enjoy being able to visit again. Thanks for the great service! read more

The ambiance at Mi Cocina is energetic with a beautiful and comfortable patio overlooking a fountain and water feature. The Mambo Taxi's are the best and there are many menu selections, my favorite is the Shrimp Brochette. I always order flour tortillas to make a fajitas with the unique and flavorful butter sauce. The food is consistent and the menu options are perfect for any of your Mexican favorites. The bar offers an array of beverage selections with margaritas as their specialties. This was a difficult review because Mi Cocina is our "go to", especially after a long day or week, but the service is spotty, even sketchy. You wait for more tortilla chips, you wait for more water, you wait for a second or third cocktail and need I go on? You can anticipate to sit with dirty plates in front of you and if you complain, the best part is that no one cares! The service is less than adequate and I only gave two stars because of how we have been treated the past two visits. I was extremely polite and direct, but the "Manager on Duty" simply doesn't care. I had no regrets letting them know that we're heading back to Blue Goose. Better service, less expensive, good food and great atmosphere. I'm sad because I like Mi Cocina, but after the treatment and service we received, I won't recommend Mi Cocina nor will we return. read more

I used Favor to get the Rico salad. There was a live worm and a hair in it. I'm so incredibly disgusted. Don't eat here, for the sake of your health. read more

Mi Cocina serves great tacos. I ordered chicken fajitas and my kids really enjoyed Mama's Taco's. These were so delicious! The service provided by Rogelio was phenomenal, and Chef Alejandro even came by and asked if we enjoyed our meal. We're definitely going back and ordering more appetizers & tacos. Such a nice warm place with great staff. read more

First visit here was good, attentive and friendly service and good food however second visit we were seated and didn't seem to have a server. Finally a busperson brings chips and salsa but I have to to ask for a drink menu. After perusing the menu and eating the chips and salsa we were waiting for water. Like my mouth is dry from salt, chips and hot salsa. I had to get up and go inside to ask a random server for water. My napkin had dried food on the edge and our server when they finally showed up was lackluster. When he sent my margarita flight down on the table for me I moved it closer so I could reach it without spilling and he slid it back away from me again like I was a naughty child for moving it from where they placed it on the table. What?! Sorry guys, my husband and I won't be bcak. read more

Had family in town from Chicago and they wanted some good local flavor. The food was delicious and very attentive service!

Always fresh and hot. Staff is always on their best game. If you like Jalapeno Margaritas this is the place. Best I've had. Try all their seafood dishes. Tilapia Andrew grilled veggies are the best. read more

Delicious food! We ordered take out, which I typically don't enjoy, but my husband and I loved it. Definitely would eat here again.

When we first entered we were greeted with great service. Chips and salsa was addicting. Couldn't stop eating them and spice levels were perfect. Ernies chicken was amazing. The chicken was well cooked with a delicious cheesy sauce on top. The fish tacos were also good. The fish melts on your mouth but I would say that the sauce provided with the tacos is an acquired taste. The shrimp dish is amazing as well. Overall, all food was flavorful and will come back again. read more
