La Cocinería — Restaurant in Chihuahua

💯 Simply superb. The crown jewel of Districto Uno. We drove 4 hours from Juarez and the duck tacos alone were worth it (don’t worry, the menu changes every 6 months but the duck tacos are a constant). Named one of Mexico’s top 100 restaurants and it’s no wonder why. Vibes for days (upscale, cozy chic) and a killer menu of unique items. Come for lunch to avoid the crowds.

🥘 Recommended Order: The duck tacos are unique and cannot be skipped. And you MUST order the “agua del día” ($55) — today was pineapple & alfalfa! The artichoke was novel and worthy of TWO orders (yes, we were just two people and didn’t want to share such a lovely vegetable). Tortellini was yum, but VERY rich (glad we shared it). Their free bread is Lucious and worth every calorie. 2 appetizers and a main shared between two people was perfect, but next time we will come more hungry and prepared to explore the wine list in order to taste our way through this feast for the senses!

🍰A divine pistachio tiramisu with fresh raspberry finished the meal (not a true tiramisu but if you like pistachio, order it).

♿️❌ Bathrooms are not wheelchair accessible— very small doors (see photos). Low lighting. Music not loud. Indoor and outdoor seating...

Service is good and relatively fast. The venue is very nice and cozy, overall a cute place to eat. The menu is small but great for everyone. They have vegetarian options, as well as fish, seafood, and beef. Their octopus is tasty, loved the dressing. The tuna tostadas were big and super delicious. The pana cota was tasty. Their wine selection is ok, could be more diverse but prices are decent. Definitely an option for a kind of fancy lunch or dinner...

My first time in Chihuahua Mexico and the food is amazing. Went out to dinner with coworkers and the experience was incredibly restful and relaxing. The meal was perfect... as you can see, my salmon was cooked to perfection. The service was spectacular. Absolutely one of my favorites in Chihuahua. Just need them to open a restaurant in Roanoke Virginia... Trust me on this - you will not be disappointed if you try this...
