    We reserved a table for my daughter’s 19th birthday, we were excited to celebrate here because we love the Dallas location. Unfortunately, the food was Ok. The service was terrible, I don’t know if we had one or more waiters because it was not consistent. None of them checked on us, we had to flag down each time. None asked if we wanted a dessert for my daughter’s birthday or offered anything to celebrate. We had presents and my daughter was opening in between the appetizer and our meal. It was obviously her birthday. We will not go back, very disappointed.

    Beautiful restaurant, decorated lovely for Christmas. The service was amazing with very friendly people. The managers even came by to say hello and ask how everything was. Great hospitality. The food is delicious and big portions. Make sure to try the flan for dessert!

    Comfortably casual as a Mexican restaurant should be. Food was exceptional - fresh and well prepared with a strong lean into TexMex.

    Great time at Mi Cocina! The margaritas were so good and the chicken fajitas were so much better than other places. We preferred them over the beef. The queso was forgettable to be honest, but the service and fun music and ambiance made up for that.
