Fast service and great food. The salad is incredible!

They start you off with chips and salsa and I’ve got to say, if you like green salsa, this is damn near perfect. The chips to go along with it are amazing also.

I had the chili verde plate and it was packed with flavor. The pork was super soft and delirious as were the rice and beans. The corn tortillas were fantastic also. Big portion of food also.

My buddy had the el Heffe burrito and he said it was perfect. He finished it all which is amazing because of how enormous it was. He said the steak was delicious.

Edit: came back two days later to try something else…. I’m glad I did because the tamale with their green sauce is sooooo good. I also had some street tacos. This place is just great!

I love the live music ... it's a nice chill place and really good Mexican food..Although my crackers were stele ... all the food we ate was good.

We checked out their brand new "lonchesito" Sunday special, which is their all you can eat breakfast/brunch menu that includes BOTTOMLESS MIMOSAS! We were so excited to try it out because it's really hard to find bottomless mimosas in this area.

The food is served buffet style and there are so many options! They had chilaquiles, costillas con nopales, sopa de fideo, breaded cauliflower, chicken mole, tacos de rajas, and more. I grew up eating a lot of these traditional dishes and everything was delicious - my favorite was the arroz con leche for dessert.

We ended up grabbing a table outside, but didn't know there was going to be live music too. Luckily, we were still able to hear the performer from our table. The mimosas were yummy, but a little strong, so I recommend you take your time. You'll have 1.5 hours to drink and eat as much as you want for only $30! But if you're not interested in mimosas, they have a $20 option that includes soda or coffee refills.

Some of these dishes aren't offered in their regular menu, and they told us that the food will change every Sunday, which means there will always be something new to try!

So happy we found this place the food is amazing and the Horchata is good. We live in San Dimas and the mexican food is not good. I am glad we found our new mexican restaurant.

Was here for Taco Tuesday before. Tacos fresh with homemade corn tortilla. Came back for dinner chicken pasilla skillet. It was so favorable and delicious. Had big margarita but over priced. Very friendly and has patio.

This is a long due review. Well for starters, Mi Cocina is nice, open, clean, has a friendly vibes and staff. I first tried their food in mid June and was impressed by the the Carne asada plate, the food was delicious and portions were nice. I tried a michelada and had to order a second due to how well prepared they are. Prior to leaving I ordered some nachos to go, this is where things went south, chips were stale, food was mediocre at best. The asada looked like ground beef and had a weird flavor about it like not bad but different and not good. Fast forward a few months and I decided to try it out again a few days ago, I ordered a El Jefe Burrito with asada as my protein of choice, I decided to get a large horchata with my order, somehow my total came up to $19 and change which is insane but whatever I forked it up. I walked across the street to the university, sat down and started eating. My burrito almost fell apart as soon as I picked it up leading me to believe this was not going to be a happy experience, the burrito was bland, asada was finely chopped once again resembling ground beef, flavor was not good at all, the ratio of beans and rice to asada was not appetizing. If I was starving and I had to choose between a pre-made sandwich and food at mi cocina, I'd go for that pre-made sandwich. Check out the roll on that burrito, SMH.

After hearing several people tell me they enjoyed the service, ambiance, and chips/salsa at Mi Cocina, I decided to visit the restaurant for some take-out on Saturday.

I ordered a Chili Relleno with a side of rice and beans, deep-fried shrimp taco. I almost ordered chips/salsa, but the waitress informed me they were complimentary and I would receive some—score!

*sigh* when I got home, there were no chips and salsa, but I was okay with that small mistake; it happens.

Sadly, the quality of the food did not make up for the loss of chips/salsa. The rice and beans were so bland. My Chili Relleno was bland. The best-tasting thing was the shrimp taco, and the crema was the saving grace—the shrimp were deep fried differently than I had ever seen, and I was not a fan.

Sadly, I will not return, which is a shame because the location is cute, and the staff were very friendly and attentive.
