Bringing out the salsa de aceite before anything else told me this was going to be the real deal. I tried the pozole and the tamal de queso for my initial visit. It's a good gauge to measure against taste buds that had my grandma's or any of my aunt's or cousin's cooking. They were incredible and stand up to any food I've had anywhere. It tastes homemade and not straight off the Sysco truck. I'm glad they have a vegan menu with vegan options for me to bring my wife. Needless to say, I'm impressed and will be back to this Mexican spot with an American diner feel based on the ambiance in here.

Salted caramel latte - I was told it was the favorite flavor off the menu. It came out perfect temp for how I like my coffees. Not too hot but hot enough to down to wake me up for the day. If you want it really hot to sit and sip on than maybe mention it before hand. Just off my experience, but it was very sweet and flavorful and I got my hit of caffeine and sugar for the morning. Huevos ranchero- Eggs any style, chile verde on bed of tortilla with smothered beans This isn't your traditional style. This is the" Nosotros Cafe" way of making it.

It's not bad, it just lost some of what made it stand out. The food is still really solid though, which is why I keep coming back. The aguachile is one of the best things on the menu, super fresh with a good kick, and the tacos are consistently done right. Simple, clean, and you know what you're getting every time. It's a nice sit-down restaurant if you want to actually relax and eat instead of rushing through a meal. Service is usually solid even when it's busy. Fair warning, it gets packed after church and the wait can build up quick, so timing matters if you don't want to sit around. Not the same as it used to be, but still worth it for the food.

They have a way of cooking potatoes until they have a smooth texture and a fresh delicious taste. I'm a big fan of their salsa Roja and I like how they have it on a salsa bar, along with salsa verde, restaurant-style salsa, sliced radishes and pickled carrots/jalapeños. I don't live in Beaumont anymore but I make a special trip here when I'm on way to and from San Bernardino. Also, I was greeted with a smile when I walked in and I like that. Over the years I've tried several items on their menu and I made this my regular place for Mexican food.

The restaurant is always clean, and the atmosphere is comfortable with music playing at a good volume. It is a big improvement from the days when the music was blasting under the previous owners. The food is flavorful without relying on heavy spice. The chilaquiles are very good, the steak is cooked just right, and the Jamaica tastes fresh and homemade rather than coming from a powder. The black beans might be some of the best I have ever had, and they are consistently delicious every visit. La Cocina Grill is reliable, tasty, and well run. The combination of great service, clean surroundings, good food, and a friendly environment makes it one of the best spots to enjoy a meal in Banning

I didn't want to skimp on taste, or authentic flavors. This was our first time entering La Cocina Grill. We were immediately greeted by Janet, she was very warm and welcoming. As I often say, it's that first impression that does it for us. We were able to choose our own seating. Opened space seating with gorgeous art work on the walls. Wheel chair accessible, not crowded or confined. I normally enjoy chili that can burn your soul. However, what they lacked in heat, they far surpassed on flavor. Besides with my diet changes heat is not something I should be eating at this time :) So this restaurant was definitely what my body needed. {IMPORTANT} a semi hotter chili available upon request. My spouse enjoyed the vegetable omelet however, did not enjoy the French fries that came with it, would have rather had either Spanish rice or potatoes, the plate did include black beans which were super delicious. My spouse did truly enjoy the food tremendously. I ordered the spinach and mushroom vegetable enchilada plate which I too requested the black beans, it also included Spanish rice. Although, it was missing avocado slices, my personal favorite, and also a suggestion it would have been more amazing. I must state this dish did not lack in flavor, presentation and overall deliciousness. I will definitely will be ordering this dish again. Yes!, I promise it was that good.

It's quite small, but feels cozy, welcoming, and authentic. The service was great and I LOVE that I didn't have to ask for the extras, like the salsas, cebollitas, etc. A small act that goes a long way. The cebollitas and jalapeños added on top added flavor to my burrito. It was thoughtful of them to add it on top because it didn't melt the to go plate considering our food was cooked fresh. I'd be lying if I didn't say that was one of my concern; but I was so stoked to know my food stayed warm and tasted so delicious when I made it home. Don't get me started on the salsas! The sazón and variety of spice level is everything for me; so I loved that I had options. From the mildest to the spiciest level salsa, I can say they were all made with some love. My favorite was the most spicy, it was so spicy, but I couldn't stop eating it! Heheh Loved the agua fresca options & that you can also get micheladas there. Lastly, it was well proportioned, I got full with some leftovers,which is always a WIN WIN for me Giving it five stars based on my first experience, will most definitely go back for more in the near future!

In the past, I have always enjoyed their Albondigas soup. My server was very attentive. The restaurant is very clean and colorfully decorated.
