La Cocina Mexican Restaurant - Mexican restaurant in Salt Lake City - 6965 S 2300 E, USA

My first time here for dinner with friends who were familiar with this place. I didn't have any expectations but was just excited to chat with friends who I haven't seen for a while plus I'm hungry too. Place has got a warm and happy vibes, server was super nice and yes, food were served hot and very delicious and in generous servings too. Good Mexican food and would definitely come back soon.

I have lived close to this restaurant for 12 years now and avoid it like the plague. I have no idea how it has such good reviews. The food is terrible! Only thing half decent are the cheese enchiladas. My family and I gave it a try again recently and it’s just not good. Makes me sad since it’s so close but I will just keep going to El Chihuahua because I don’t see how things will change here 🤷‍♂️. Staff has always been very nice though. Decent atmosphere but there is much better Mexican out there, that’s for sure!

Great traditional Mexican restaurant. Been coming here for years, the service is fantastic, the wait staff is consistent which tells me they are good people to work for. The food is great, chips and salsa are fabulous, absolutely love the green tomatillo salsa. We’ll always come back here. Don’t forget free margarita Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday!!!

Good food. Five of us each enjoyed our food and good service. They keep bringing free chips and two kinds of salsa as long as you request it. Free margaritas on Tue, Thur and Sat.

I wish I could give this place more than 5 stars. It’s easily my new #1 favorite Mexican restaurant. Their chips and salsa is an amazing starter. Both their red and green salsas are seriously addictive. I highly recommend the combination plate because you get a little bit of everything. I loved everything on the combination plate. It really hit the spot. Aside from the absolutely spectacular food, the vibes were great! The inside of the restaurant has very fun and colorful decor. It’s also very spacious and clean. Everyone there seemed to be enjoying themselves. The service was also excellent. I can’t say enough good things about this place, you have to come and try it for yourself!!

I was pleasantly surprised by this place. The free margaritas on Tuesday and Saturday are brilliant. Even the virgin ones for us Mormons were good. Can’t go wrong with the combination plate. The enchiladas were way good, and I normally don’t like enchiladas. However I was mopping up these enchiladas and their sauce all over my rice.

We love coming here! I ordered the 2 Chicken Enchiladas and we shared a fried icecream which were both so good, and the staff were all so friendly. The only downside is parking, but you can park at the other businesses next to and/or behind.

Service was quick and efficient. The restaurant has adequate seating even with Covid regulations in place. The food was hot and there was a lot of it. I got a half order of Macho Nachos for lunch and still had leftovers. From a taste perspective, it seems like everything pretty much tastes the same. It was good, just not great.
