    The food was excellent, decor lovely and noise level moderate. You could still have a conversation with the people at your table. Service was good.

    Not a great experience. There were apparent plumbing problems inside so we had to sit outside in the extremely hot sun. About 45 minutes later they could seat people inside but never offered an indoor table. Sounds trivial but the desert sun can be pretty intense. They should have offered to move us. The food was mediocre but our server was very nice and efficient. Not sure I would go back.

    We’re sorry to hear your experience wasn’t the best. We strive for excellent service, and it sounds like you caught us on a day that wasn’t our best due to the issues we were handling inside. We’d love a chance to make this right for you—hope to see you again soon! Patrick DiCesare - General Manager

    We loved our experience at La Cocina. Great service! Food was delicious and we thought reasonably priced. Hot chips that were light and not greasy. Good salsa. Beautiful re-do of the interior. Lovely. Can’t wait to go back.

    Service was excellent and so was our food. Four different entrees and all delicious. We all agreed the ambiance was pleasant and nice to be a part of. Please stay! We love having a great Mexican restaurant so close by!
