Amazing experience! Jet was our bartender, and he was incredible. I’m from out of town, and this was truly the best experience I’ve had. I usually don’t leave reviews but I love his margaritas and personality!

When we arrived at La Cocina there was a line outside. The customers said they had been waiting 25 minutes for a hostess to come seat them. We decided to go to the bar instead of waiting. The gentleman behind the bar was very nice, however, when we asked for no cilantro in a dish the female bartender immediately told us that they are way to busy to take cilantro out of premade items and that we should just order something else. So we decided to go somewhere else. As we proceeded to leave, a couple at the bar told us we were assholes.
When there is a food allergy, there should be some form of accommodations. Not told “you should order something else”.
I will make sure to tell all my friends to not go there!

We disclosed a food allergy to cilantro, and it was made such a huge deal. We were told to order something different versus accommodating the food allergy. We were flipped off by other people in the restaurant, calling us assholes as we left due to a food allergy. So unprofessional, we will never return.

First, service was great, attentive, nice blend of being available but not too visible. Nice space and great bar area. However, the food. Ugh. I mean tasteless. Couldn't tell the difference between a chicken, beef or cheese enchilada. The refried missed as well, absolutely no depth. The fajitas were odd. They were cooked, nicely charred, but had been clearly cooked well before the order and re-heated to serve. So just soggy steak. So much better mexican elsewhere and nearby.
