La Cocina Mediterránea - Mediterranean restaurant in Buena Park - 6550 Knott Ave, USA

This place feels like family restaurant more than anything. I feel like they’re underrated and unseen… The food is AMAZING! Literally everything I’ve ordered has been heaven to my mouth. The portions are above average which I love! The food is seasoned and cooked perfectly making it flavorful. I have literally gone out of my way just to eat hear because of the quality, portion and exceptional customer service. Definitely a must try!!!

What a gem hidden inside of a corner liquor store! Popped into here for lunch with my dad (a syrian man, born and immigrated, so he knows his arabic food). I had the chicken shish tawook plate, he had the falafel "tacos" Both items were excellent. The value was high, the service was friendly... and if I didn't mention it the food was great. Ambiance was kind of funny being in a liquor store to order, but i've had great food in all kinds of gas stations.. so why not?

Started shopping here when they first opened and it seemed like every time we went the prices for the same item always went up this became a regular situation so I was like I won't spend my money with them.. 4 years later.. So I needed some steamed rice I call the lady answered I said do you guys have steamed rice she said we don't have brown rice I said not brown rice steamed white rice she said we don't have brown rice only steamed with rice an sat the phone on the counter I heard it fall she was on speaker as I drove up an parked I walked in phone in hand an said are you the one answering the phone she immediately said we don't sale brown rice I said I never asked for brown rice I asked for steamed rice she said I'm not gonna serve you leave now I said why because you left me hanging an I came here she just kept saying by by I'm not serving you I left because she couldn't hear an was inpatient I wouldn't recommend them to my enemy....

Good food, reasonably priced. Very nice owners.

I've only been here twice, first time was outstanding,my club sandwich was excellent,service shined.....went back the following day at the same time for lunch, service still good but there was a guy walking around the inside of the whole place carting one of those big silver cans of bug spray attached to a spray wand actually spraying bug spray along the floor even saw him come from the kitchen spraying, he even said excuse me as I took a step back to get out of his way while he walked along spraying. No I could not bring myself to eat it nor will go back again.And that's too bad because the people that worked there seemed very nice.

I was quick to leave a bad review but the homie brought me back, been here a couple of times now and the service is fast i got less then 30 min to eat so that helps i also call ahead of time

Now this place is located inside a liquor store, in a shady part of Buena Park, but if you can overlook those two factors the food has generous servings at a reasonable price. The owners were polite, helpful and welcoming. The neighborhood is dilapidated, got hit up in the parking lot for spare change from a man drinking a tall can etc. They were open on Thanksgiving (which was the day I found them). I was grateful to have a Mediterranean restaurant open on this particular day and was happy with my chicken plate. Which was my lunch and dinner. And it cost me under $20. Plus, I got a push up for dessert from the liquor store. Now the liquor store is the real deal. An impressive selection of hard alcohol to choose from along with beer, soda and ice cream. The store was remarkably clean, had a public restroom that was clean as well. All and all I will go there again. It's just unfortunate that it is located where it is. It's a good location considering they have no competition but just a shoddy neighborhood with the typical vagrant asking for spare change or folks loitering in the area drinking tall cans.

Great food and awesome customer service! We were on our way to Texas and stopped for breakfast here. Even though this place is not offering breakfast, the lady at the counter treated us as if we were home. Definitely five stars!
