Mi Cocina

The restaurant has a nice setup with a warm and welcoming vibe. It was pretty busy given that it was a Saturday afternoon, but everything seemed well managed. Service was good and we didn’t have to wait too long for anything. The food was decent for the price. I was hoping for a little more in terms of flavor or uniqueness, but it wasn’t bad at all. It just didn’t completely meet my expectations. That said, I still enjoyed the visit and appreciated the atmosphere. Overall, it wasn’t a bad experience, and I’d definitely consider coming back to try a few other menu items.

We had a fantastic time, the staff was very friendly, the atmosphere was lovely, and the food was great. We ordered 2 items (EL Ray combo and Chicken/Beef fajitas) to share and it could have easily fed one more person. Our food came quickly, was flavorful and the platter is a great pick for variety. The fajita plate however was not as generous as other Tex Mex places in the area but flavorful none the less. I reccomend a visit, and maybe call ahead to check for seating as it was packed for lunch!

This place is a great place to have mexican food for vegetarians. We had the Tacos Veganos and Pico De Gallo Fajitas, the vegetables were so nicely marinated and cooked. Best food. The spicy frozen jalapeno margarita was one of the best drinks i have had. The Skinny Frozen Margarita was good too. The staff really took good care of us. What a lovely experience!

Excellent Service! I want to give a special shout-out to Ana, our server, for her kind, attentive, and fast service. She was always smiling and made our experience so much better. Also the hostess Nay for welcoming us so warmly and making sure we were comfortable from the moment we arrived. Her professionalism and friendly attitude really stood out.

I gave them an overall four star because the food with nothing to scrape about. It was nice and it was filling, but it wasn’t terribly exciting.

I had an incredible experience at Mi Cocina, and I have to give a special shout-out to Destiny at the bar. From the moment I sat down, she made me feel welcome with her warm smile and genuine hospitality. Her attention to detail is unmatched she’s quick, attentive, and makes sure every drink is spot-on. Not only was the service top-notch, but the food was absolutely delicious. Every bite was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. It’s clear this place takes pride in both their dishes and their customer experience. Destiny went above and beyond to make the evening enjoyable, checking in at just the right times, offering great recommendations, and making the atmosphere lively yet comfortable. It’s rare to find service that feels both professional and personal, but she nails it effortlessly. If you’re visiting Mi Cocina, do yourself a favor and grab a seat at the bar with Destiny. You’ll get amazing food, perfectly crafted drinks, and truly exceptional service. Can’t wait to come back

Wonderful experience & restaurant! Stopped in to meet a friend of a friend / business meeting. We sat in the bar area which was wide open, and had great customer service. Guac was good as always and we got to enjoy it before the dinner rush came in.

Had a fantastic time here ! It was definitely a 10/10 the food was amazing, the service was perfect and the staff were great as well !! Always recommend this location the best by far !! Food is always good 👍

Visiting in town for only a few days. This spot is located across from silver and blue parking near The Star. Easy walking access to many food and drink spots. Stopped in for lunch and enjoyed the Rico salad (no cheese). The salad with plentiful and fresh. They were not shy on the topping which made this salad delicious. The place was busy. Quite beautiful decorated with large lounge chairs. If you are looking for a quiet, intimate place this is not it. But if you're looking for a place to grab a bite of fresh, great food, amazing salsa and a drink- I would recommend.

I was at the star for happy hour with friends and we decided to go to an oldie but goodie Mi Cocina. After arriving at Mi Cocina we were quickly seated. It was packed. I think this is because of the affordability, tasty chips and salsa, great service, delicious drinks, and family environment. I love the chips and salsa and always like coming here just for that. I got the mambo taxi cocktail. I hadn't had this cocktail in several years but it was as nice as I remembered and I was glad I got it. I was really hungry and got the shrimp ceviche as my meal. It was very tasty. Mi Cocina is still a great option and is always a great choice!

Close to Omni Frisco this Mexican spot is walking distance. I ordered the platter with nachos, flautas and quesadillas options. It's was tasty! The music was great and service friendly.

Went here with my family today. Food was great and service was quick. Ambience was also cool. I tried their Rico Salad, chips with guacamole, and the red fish which were also flavorful. However what I did not like was how they would want to take your plate without asking you if you were finished with your food. Overall though I still recommend this restaurant.

Let's start with the Ambiance it's so beautiful in here. I really enjoyed the way they decorated this space! The food doesn't quite match the ambiance. It's good but not great. I ordered the flautas and the chicken quesadillas. The Flautas were good just a little burnt on the end but not horribly (Forgot to get a picture). I enjoyed the quesadillas a lot honestly. The service was great! They were able to accommodate my sister's larger party, and they were attentive. Also, my cousin requested a strawberry lemon drop, and my server made it happen!

Always heard good things about Mi Cocina, so we stopped by for the very first time for Cinco De Mayo! We were seated and got our chips and salsa quickly! Our server, Aubrey, was truly a doll! She was patient and so accommodating. I got the famous mambo taxi and a mix of chicken and beef fajitas with corn & flour tortillas! It was all so delicious! I really enjoyed Mi Cocina's salsa as well; it was so addicting. The only downside of the visit was how slow the food and drink got out to us. I noticed it took a while for other tables to get their food too, so it was disappointing to wait when it wasn't such a full house! Aubrey was extremely sweet about everything, and she was truly what made the visit worthwhile! Overall had a good first experience here, I'd try Mi Cocina again.

This restaurant took very long to serve our food. When we finally received it was cold. We ordered the beef fajitas medium. They were well done. My son asked for sour cream, our waitress never brought it...but charged us for it. No refills offered, and the service was poor. This place is too congested and overfilled. I was in a wheelchair and couldn't get out of the restaurant when we were done because of the crowed seating area. . We had to use the emergency exit. This place is a fire hazard. I asked for the manager and they didn't even show up. lol. Never again! BEWARE

Whoever is bartending at this location, the young lady in the front I think it's time for you guys to have a talk with her. I literally sat down and it took her almost 10 minutes to even acknowledge me mind you it was only four people at the bar and it was around 8:30 so it wasn't that busy. She was at the prompt computer and then she was on her phone while I was trying to be served. Then she comes and decides to take the drink order. Then it took her another 20 minutes to take my food order. This is the second time I was here and she was bartending and same thing happen. It takes her a very long time to get people's orders. The food itself was not good and my order was wrong and had to be sent back. Y'all need to hire a better workers who don't stand there and socialize and pay attention to your guest.

For context, I visited with a group of coworkers for dinner on a weeknight. We were a little confused initially because when we called ahead, we were told that they didn't take reservations - but when our group of eight got there and needed a table, they didn't have one due to another reservation. Huh. It was fine, and we pulled up chairs to make it work, but something to take note of if you are bringing a large group. Outside of that, service was attentive and friendly. I was a little disappointed in the food. Maybe it was my choice of entree, but the chicken inside my enchiladas was seriously dry. The sauce on top helped a little, but it wasn't the moist, slow-cooked shredded chicken one expects in Mexican food. The flavors weren't bad, but it always hurts when a dish is too dry. I would consider going back to try a different entree, but I wasn't blown away by this experience.

We absolutely loved this place! It's so cute inside and has good music and vibes. Came here with my daughter and we got the queso, a quesadilla, and the tamales. It was all very flavorful and delicious. We loved the rice and beans as well. What really made the difference was the service. They were amazing and when we were ready to go they packed all the leftover food up for us and brought to go fresh chips, salsa, and drinks for us! It was a great experience and we will definitely return!!

Let's start off with walking in and greeted with a smile and friendly customer service. Seated immediately . Waiter came he was so nice , offered recommendations took our order. Checked on us periodically and this place was fairly business it was lunch time . Ambiance nice and clean . Food was amazing ordered the Rico Salad with grilled shrimp, the lime vinaigrette sauce 10 out of 10 has to Mango Margaritas glad I had a driver , they don't cheat on the alcohol and the fresh mangos added is a plus. Definitely would return you should as well... No pictures this time sorry I devoured before I could take any... Love this place

First time eating here. I've heard nothing but great things about this restaurant so it was time to try it for myself. We were sat quickly, drunk orders taken quickly and chips and salsa arrived shortly after. I ordered the Brisket tacos and they were amazing! The legendary "Mambo Taxi" was also delicious! The restaurant overall was clean and not overly crowded. I would definitely recommend.

Linda and Nancy are great. I especially like the way they delivered the togo order to the disabled person

Mi Cocina was nice and clean when we walked in, and it wasn't busy at all--but to be fair, it was early afternoon on a Thursday. The atmosphere was calm, and the space itself is definitely well put together. I ordered the poblano enchiladas, and honestly, they were just okay. Nothing really stood out. Surprisingly, the chips and salsa ended up being the highlight of the meal--super fresh and flavorful. Our waiter was alright. He seemed more focused on chatting with coworkers than checking on our table, but maybe it was just one of those slower days. All in all, I'm not sure I'd go back on my own. Maybe for a business dinner or something more casual, since the space is nice. But for the food alone? Probably not.

Great atmosphere/design. Loud. Food is a slightly elevated version of traditional Mexican. Service was not as on point as it could be. Drinks are super good!! Best part of the evening.

The food was amazing. The fajitas were typing hot. The enchiladas were delicious. The guacamole was to die for the service was incredible.

The service and ambiance were outstanding. The food unfortunately was not for me. I ordered the Salmon Adobo. The salmon was overcooked and dry. It was also the blandest meal I've had in a long time. I had to ask for salt and lemon to try fixing it, and still it was just so sad. I ended up not finishing my meal and I went somewhere. Spent $30 including tip on an unedible meal.

The owner comes from El Salvador and his recipes are outstanding! All of the staff is amazing and very knowledgeable! The chips are fresh and delicious and they come with a spicy salsa and a black bean dip! I could eat just them and wash it down with a delicious Paloma! You have to experience the fried plantains and dip OMG they are so good and the portions are enough to share. If a restaurant offers Flautas I always try them and these are pretty good especially when dipped in the black beans or salsa. A fun way to sample the menu is the sampling plate that comes with chicken nachos, flautas and quesadillas make this a meal or appetizer to share as it is a lot of food. Make sure to save room for the churros with carmel inside and vanilla ice cream for dessert!

Our sever was great, he was very attentive and friendly. Service was great as well, ambiance was pretty good considering that it was a late meal. We would definitely return.

Angie was so amazing and attentive. I will be back just for her service !! Mi cocina is always the move

my experience at mi cocina was AMAZING! The food was really really good and the service was amazing ! I will be coming back

The food was superb!! Atmosphere is fantastic!!!! Service was excellent!!!! Will go back every chance we get!!!

Not that great. Enchiladas were tough and flavorless. Guacamole wasn't even mashed much. Chips were thick, lime from a bag, and salsa tasted line it's from a jar. Definitely will not be back. Service was not that good from our waitress. We saw her to take our order and give us our check. The manager had to bring us more chips. Another waiter filled our drinks and brought our food. She was basically just walking by saying "Your food will be out soon." Or your drink will be ready shortly. Drink that was supposed to be frozen was mostly melted with sugar melted down the glass. Food took way too long and tasted like it had been under a heat lamp. I will definitely NOT be returning.

Mambo taxi. Just get it. I love their salsa. Crunchy beef tacos & Mi Tierra chicken nachos are my favs. Their side of veggies are so good!

Our server Stephanie, was just fantastic! She understands the cuisine and made excellent suggestions.

FIVE stars! I had such a positive experience here. Even on a Friday night, the wait was pretty short and I was able to get some food/drinks before going out at The Star. The drinks are really affordable (and HUGE??) and my food was great. Service was excellent and I found that everyone I interacted with was notably personable and pleasant! The restaurant is decorated well with a lot of cool lights and wall art. I got the Gina's, my favorite thing to order for variety, and the mambo taxi and sangria. The sangria glass is huge, larger than water glasses! The mambo taxi is very strong so I would be careful drinking more than one. I highly recommend this location and will be returning.

This is the first time that I have visited any of the locations and was totally surprised by the food- expecting the norm Tex Mex. I ordered the Tacos "De Pescado" which was three Grouper tacos, a yummy Salad, and Cilantro rice. Everything was so delicious. The only drawback was that the place is very modern and echoey so it was extremely loud. The music was super loud, as well, so everyone was talking over each other. I like a more woodsy, quiet place to eat my food. If I go back, I'll try the bar area which looked a little more quaint.

Ordered to go on a Tuesday night and this place was pretty busy when we arrived. Ordered our food at 6:09 and got an email saying our order would be ready at 6:31pm. I went up to the host at 6:30 and let her know I was picking up an order and after checking on it she said that it would be a few mins, no problem as it was crowded. At 6:43 they brought our food out and we headed back to our hotel which is located less than half a mile away. When we opened our food it was cold, we were super disappointed as we had to wait longer for our food and then received cold food. The food was okay but I'm sure it would have been amazing if it was hot. Maybe this place is fabulous when dining in but definitely missed the part for takeout. We did order frozen margaritas to go and those were great!

Really great flavor for their food. Especially the regular taco and street tacos (chicken). Waiter was OK. Looks like management just sitting at a table chatting the whole time, that's the reason for 4 stars.

It was a great experience, the waiter was very attentive. The atmosphere in the star of Frisco was very nice. The food was excellent because it was very hot which I'm very appreciative of because I am a person of warm food. I would attend this place again through the week. I attend this place because I was off of my birthday something I was looking forward to coming to this particular place because it is always packed and I want to experience it on the weekend. It is very lit here. I would attend this place again for the week or the weekend

Always love Mi Cocina, but this time was even better. Nay took really good care of us & our out of town friends and we had a great time on a busy night.

Lovely time here at mi cocina, never disappointed by Isaak and the great food. The service was fast and friendly.

Food was really good, mambos were great. Isaac gave us amazing service, will definitely be coming back

I had the best experience! Isaak was my server and he was attentive and friendly. Loved the food!

Amazing experience at The Star tonight! Food came out quickly, even for being so busy, everything tasted amazing! Bronwyn was so sweet and helpful, she gave amazing recommendations, and her service was top tier. Will absolutely be visiting in the future, thanks for a great night Mi Cocina!

We came to this Mi Cocina and were blown away by the amazing food and service. The Double Barrel margarita and the new drink menu definitely make me want to return soon! Nay gave wonderful service and was very attentive!

Mi Cocina is a wonderful with Tex-mex style food. It's fantastic for lunch or dinner (I've done both). The drinks are wonderful and recommend trying. The ceviche was fresh and delicious. I had the tacos and it was very filling. The wait staff is very kind, professional, and made our lunch experience top notch. Lots of options for parking at the Star. We love coming here and trying new things! Will be back again soon.

This meal was YUMMY The crema on the enchiladas should be bottled and sold. When in Cowboy Town- Frisco this place needs to be on your list of places to try. Was recommended by our tour guide at the Dallas Cowboy training facility ( which it is in walking distance of BTW ) and it did not disappoint.

A friend chose this place and we met up while I was in the area. If you're looking for amazing food, at amazing prices, AND a chic and professional atmosphere.... Oh, have you chosen the right place. Service was at a level that I don't see in places for twice the price. One of our table mates got the steak fajitas, and it was a huge plate, with everything just amazing. I got a sample of the steak and it was mid-rare and vibrant in flavor. Another at the table provided me one of his tacos that was one of the best flavor profiles I'd ever had in Mexican food. The one concern that I ran across was my two burritos were not at all what I expected.... Like soft unfried flautas.... Small, but at the same time, quite tasty. Of my journey to Dallas, this was one of the more memorable culinary experiences I had. Well worth trying out... and I will go again if I ever return to the area.

Visited this place on a Thursday evening for my sisters birthday. The ambiance of the place was good - the place was full for a weekday. After a 10-15 minute wait we got the table. I got the ranch water for a drink and everyone else got margaritas - the drinks were pretty good. The food however was OK - no complaints as such - but the service was pretty slow - maybe because it was super busy.

Been here 90 minutes and have received one espresso martini thus far. Go literally anywhere else and get good tex mex for cheaper.

Come one, come all, check out Mi Cocina! Mi Cocina specializes in Mexican cuisine from tacos, enchiladas, and quesadillas. No need to get all dressed up and fancy this casual sit down art gallery vibe was a perfect Friday date night. I got the Pablano chicken enchiladas. It comes with two enchiladas with pablano cream sauce paired with rice and beans. The enchiladas was a bit on the heavier side for my taste but hey you'll find me at the gym shortly after! The chips and salsa were perfect pairing. As for my beverage, I had a strawberry frozen margarita. It was all good! Service is A1. Can't wait to come back!

Let me start with, I honestly believe this review is based on one experience and PROBABLY doesn't represent the normal visit... I hope. We went on a Saturday afternoon. Our server, Liz, was great and friendly. The food was great. But shortly after we arrived, the manager started setting up a large table for over 20. Whoever this was for was more important than everyone who was currently enjoying their meals. The manager had someone vacuum around our table while we were eating. Stood over our table for the entirety of our eating while they calculated the position of chairs. If this wasn't crazy enough. They then put a children's party, with kids covered in paint and hyped up on sugar, at the table on the other side of us. The kids ran circles around our table, keep in mind with the manager standing right on top of us, without saying anything to the table. If this is normal for weekends here, I would stay away. Shame because the atmosphere doesn't give off 'McDonalds Playplace' at all. We wanted to have a second round of margaritas but decided to go get a second drink at another establishment out at the Star. Hopefully if we return it will be much better.

Carly R was extremely rude. We have been to this mi cocina many of times and absolutely love it. As someone who works in the service industry, this was very disappointing to experience considering we were just trying to enjoy our dinner. She had a horrible attitude as soon as we sat down as well as she brought our checks almost as soon as we got our food without us asking for it and threw the check back at us after running our card. Definitely disappointing considering this is one of our favorite places to go.

Very mediocre Mexican food! ;( Unfortunately the service wasn't good at all as well... super slow, water glasses were constantly empty on the table, we never got tortillas for our fajitas... A small positive was that my enchiladas were decent but overall not a good experience.

The restaurant is very loud and it took a long time before our server even came over and asked what we wanted to drink. I had enchiladas and they were OK. My friend had chicken fajitas and they were dry and did not have any seasoning

Quality of food and service was delicious! Our waiter- whom I am totally blanking on his name unfortunately; may have been Patrick- was beyond impressive with his ability to wait multiple tables of +4 patrons. The Mama's Tacos were delicious, though I think they needed a little more sauce or flavor. Even just a standard beef taco was yummy!

Enjoyed the atmosphere, but service was a little slow. Took over 20 minutes for our server to show up. Not sure why dog in a carrier was allowed inside the restaurant. It wasn't a service animal but the dog was eating snacks at the table next to us. Owners feeding the dog at the table and also feeding themselves with the same hands. Not so appetizing. Then our server was busy showing pictures of his dog instead of refilling our drinks timely. Probably won't return to this location. There are others around the area.

Chips seemed a bit stale. Sangria was on the sour side Food was good and allowed substitutions. Price was good as well.
