I’ve been coming to the Lake Highlands Mi Cocina for 30+ years and it’s still same great food and atmosphere that made my family fall in love with this place in the 90s. The food is always delicious, the mambo taxis are a must have! Big fan of their queso blanco for a starter. You really can’t go wrong on their menu. Javier is a stand out behind the bar! He knows all of his customers so well! Great customer service skills, excellent bartender and always greats everyone with a friendly smile and conversation. I know the minute I sit down, he’s already got my usual starting order ready for me (a mambo taxi and a cup of queso blanco)!
For a rainy day the place was pretty cozy and enjoyable. Definitely feeling the Christmas vibes too. But that might’ve also been the reason for slow service? Like, taking so long for some to-go boxes, for the check, etc…Not very good when you have a cranky toddler that has their scheduled nap time soon. My main dislike was for the food, specifically the chicken quesadillas that I normally adore. For some reason this time they came with a bunch of charred bits throughout the quesadillas that I had to remove (usually the chicken is not charred? At least from personal experience). My mother also ordered a salad without tortilla chips but they put those anyways. Besides that, same old same old. Would appreciate for next time for these details to be fixed!
OMG!! This place was sooo awesome! We sat on the patio. The atmosphere was great. The service was great and the FOOD!! Lordy, the FOOD! I think that this was the best fajitas that I have ever had it was so freaking delicious! They gave me a LOT, and the price was reasonable! I would definitely recommend this place, and I would definitely return! My friend had enchiladas. Even the togo bag was cute! See the pictures and VIDEO
We usually eat here for lunch, this was our first time at dinner. The food was great but the waiter was a bit slow. I'm guessing it was because of the dinner rush but the food was still great.
Came with my husband for the first time to this Mi Cocina location! We love Mi Cocina and we were excited to try a new location! We sat at the bar and received amazing service by our bartender, Sebas. We had the nachos and shrimp ceviche and both were delicious. For our drinks I had the Skinny smash and my husband had the mambo taxi! Both 5 stars!!! As we finished our meal, the GM Rogelio came to us to ask how everything was. The hospitality we received was amazing and the ambiance as well! Definitely coming back to this location and highly recommended!!
I had such a wonderful experience celebrating my birthday at Mi Cocina! I went with my family, and from the moment we sat down, our server Amanda made everything perfect. She truly went above and beyond for us — she was attentive, kind, and made sure we had everything we needed the entire time. The food was delicious, the atmosphere was great, and the service from Amanda really made the night special. My family and I left feeling super happy and well taken care of. I’m so glad we chose Mi Cocina for my birthday celebration. Thank you, Amanda, for making it such a memorable night!
