I am always on the hunt for the best horchata and sopes and Mister Taco definitely showed up for me…read moretonight! The sopes were made just right, full of flavor and topped perfectly. The side of rice was plentiful but the rice was a bit too soft for my liking. It definitely had the authentic flavor though. The interior is decorated beautifully, colorful and great music playing and the wait staff is very attentive! I will definitely be back for my dope y horchata fix!

I've been working on a draft review for La Cocina for months, but haven't felt as though my words would do this place sufficient justice. I've had lunch here, dinner here; as a party of 2 and up to a party of 8; during slow times and during weekend dinner rush. I've sampled from across the extensive menu, and been served by many of the servers. My observation is this: the people here care about giving the customer the very best. The front of house, service staff and kitchen all demonstrate passion, and it really shows in the experience. The drinks are well made, the fountain drinks are readily refilled by the service staff before you realize you need a refill. The complimentary chips are warm and crispy, the salsa house made and ample. I haven't ordered any item that was not well prepared, even if what I ordered turned out to not be to MY taste. They make a genuine effort to accommodate all parties even during a rush and give real, accurate wait estimates. I discretely timed it once: they called my phone at the 14 minute mark for a 15 minute wait, for a party of 7. Go here. Do yourself a favor and go here. Order the carne asada tacos with rice and beans. Make sure they bring you the dark red salsa and get a medium lime frozen margarita.

If you are looking for Mi Casita type mexican food this is not the place. If you want real mexican food cooked fresh this is great. I had the sopes and the gordita. Both were fantastic.

Stopped in on a whim for lunch -- thanks to a random recommendation while running errands yesterday…read more-- and honestly? Zero regrets. Would've never noticed this little hole-in-the-wall otherwise. Portions were generous (lunch did not come to play), prices were fair, and our waitress was an absolute ray of sunshine - cheerful and lovely - on point. Bonus points: her father was the chef, which explains why everything tasted like someone actually cared. Family-owned flavor hits different! Would happily eat here again.

La Perla comes highly recommended, so of course I had to try it!…read more First to the table was the cheese dip, fresh guac and of course the drinks! My Pineapple cooler was perfect, the mezcal taste was definitely there and the sweetness of the drink was light. Guacamole was so fresh and full of onion, tomato y cilantro and the cheese dip was flavored well and came out hot! I ordered the garlic salmon with potatoes and veggies! The salmon came out a little over cooked but was still delicious and seasoned so well with lots of garlic! The potatoes were small whole potatoes and the veggies consisted of bell pepper, onion, broccoli, and zucchini! I am literally addicted to this dish now, it's so amazing! My mom had the Zarandeado salmon with the chipotle butter on the side! Of course I had to try it! The salmon was cooked perfectly, and seasoned so well with a Smokey flavor. Her rice was perfect as well! I will be getting this as my main dish next time for sure! We also got an order of churros for my mom's birthday and they were fried to perfection! Our waitress was Fanny and she was so attentive!

We received complimentary chip and salsa which were good. The wait is not an issue especially when the food comes out fresh. We did have slow service when getting attention from our server, long wait times without a drink/water. Service is everything but food makes some of it up. The menu is definitely different in a good way. Food is definitely on the higher price tag so be prepared to have an expensive bill.

The Boss Lady has spoken. Good food, questionable gratuity math & day vs. evening atmosphere…read more RATING REASON: I rated this a 3 solely because of the gratuity calculation, weird vibes and noise. Apparently $100+ or a party of 5 = automatic gratuity territory. Except $100 is ridiculously easy to hit with 3-4 people once you add an app, entrée, 1-2 adult bevies each, and maybe dessert. (I didn't notice a cost on drink (soda/sweet tea) refills as others mentioned, but may explain the unaccounted for cost of our bill. Now I wish I paid more attention.) ATMOSPHERE: Nice, spacious, clean. A little noisy with the neon-lit DJ/karaoke? booth parked next to an even more neon-lit bar. The sporadic sound blasts and flashing lights coming from the DJ booth during lunch/early dinner seemed to serve no purpose and was unnecessary on a Saturday late afternoon. Apparently the party starts here well before the evening customers do. Chips & salsa were flowing, so we survived. MENUS: THE NEW MENUS HAVE ARRIVED, FOLKS! The crossed-out prices and tragic old menus can finally retire and rest in peace. Place is a bit pricey and items stack up quick. STAFF: Attentive, but I felt rushed. It was practically empty from 4:30-6 on a Saturday, yet staff seemed to be enjoying some quality bartender/bar-side social time. Also, I'm not sure if blurting out the total bill amount to the table before the customer has reviewed, paid, or emotionally processed it is standard practice, but, here we are. According to other reviews on Google, perhaps Flower had the day off. I read they are amazing and wonderful. FOOD: Decent, HOT, and generous portions, which were easily enough for a second meal for our party of 5. The chicken quesadilla arrived half-folded like a taco, which caught me off guard. No guac or sour cream offered/included. The steak fajitas were a hit. No lime offered w/meals, but an orange slice was included. Birthday dinner for a teenager = fried ice cream for the table. Although, in fairness, it was more whipped cream + fried taco shell having an identity crisis than fried ice cream. DRINKS: They were flowing. Corona in a bottle is basically impossible to screw up, although apparently limes are now a luxury item because none were offered/included. The cocktail menu definitely caters to this young military-town energy. I had to specifically request a traditional margarita. No complaint, and the only flavor available was lime, but it was strange having to request a traditional marg in the first place. The eyeball & foot gummies were, however, a delightful surprise! BOTTOM LINE: Good food, decent drinks, generous portions, but that DJ booth and gratuity policy need to calm their arses down.
