Mi Cocina Mexican Food — Restaurant in Avondale

This place is unbelievably bad. I finally cancelled my order after 35 minutes, everyone else had their food, but it was served at 5-10 minute intervals. -Chips and Salsa served, about 15 chips for a table of 5 people. -drinks served intermittently -food served at odd intervals -cancelled Sinaloa Sushi after 35 minutes. Lots of apologizing, but no indication that there would be an extended order time for this. -we could only find very faint remnants of any kind of meat on 3 different orders. Only potato and very large mounds of shredded lettuce on everything. No difference in flavor or filling from different items. I really don't understand how this place has a 4.7 star rating - it is the worst food experience I have had in Phoenix in 2 years. Maybe people really like potatoes boiled in beef broth? The picture shows a tostada with the mound of lettuce removed - see if you can find any meat . . .

In response to the Mi Cocina Team - potatoes and shredded lettuce are NOT a substitute for meat in any part of Mexico where I have traveled. I have been to almost every part of Mexico, multiple times, every Central American Country, and much of South America - nowhere have I found anything that resembles what is being served at this restaurant. (The native Mexicans in my party were also baffled by the potato/lettuce offerings.) No, I was not informed of an extended prep time on the so-called Sushi until 35 minutes after ordering; and at this point I am quite relieved that it never made its way...

Originally drove to snack at Tortas Paquime and happened to see the signage/locale for Mis Nietos Cocina; after a few minutes of contemplation, I chose Mis Nietos. Best choice EVER. Authenticity from the minute you walk in to a lively, impeccably clean ambiance complete with some old Spanish music faves.

I order a pineapple Aqua Fresca and it satisfies my palate w it’s fresh and tart yet sweet taste quenching that AZ thirst. I’m loving the ideal portion of chips and mildly warm salsa (mildly spicy, packed w flavor).

Traditional Chilaquiles call for a red sauce, but I’ve always been partial to the green tomatillo sauce, I inquire if the switch up is possible and am pleased to hear it is. The chips are perfectly crunchy and sauced; the green salsa has an insanely tasty flavor w a bit of spice to follow. The chicken diced perfect for mixing into the chilaquiles and pork beans, (DO order these when here). The beans were a last minute sub for their traditional retried and may I say well worth it! Packed w flavor and the consistency is great, not too runny.

Overall a wonderful experience. The young lady at the desk was attentive, respectful, and polite. MOst def a new fave spot delicious of mine 😍 and will be returning fairly soon.

Thank you all for the...

Looking for Mexican breakfast on Google Maps, we found this restaurant. The reviews were positive so we decided to give it a try. We were not disappointed! It is a small place, not fancy but full of good vibes and great service. Marena greeted us upon arrival and let us choose where to sit. We ordered 2 coffees right away and they promptly came, in a big mug and with the notice from Marena that she was already making more, just in case we wanted some. Glancing over the menu I quickly spotted some Huevos Rancheros and decided on them. My wife went with the Chilaquiles w/Chicken. Both were great!!! The refried beans w/pork were both a first for us and a very tasty complement to both dishes. My wife Chilaquiles were awesome, not smothered in sauce like other places, crispy and tasty as well as the chicken in them.

A very good first time in this restaurant. Marena’s service was attentive and courteous and we will most definitely be back to try some other...
