Great place for dinner or weekend breakfast. Staff is very friendly and food is excellent. Looking for good quality Mexican food, Mi Cocina is your go to place. Recent update: just recently went back to MI Cocina's. While there, the place got pretty packed. Service is still great but a little slow. Staffing has thinned out due to the pandemic. Food is still amazing and the staff is still very friendly. They treat you as if your a weekly regular. Highly recommend MI Cocina, you won't be disappointed. No change since last update. Masked are nolonger required. But it is common courtesy to where a mask and keep the 6ft distancing. Update: business is booming like before. Service is great. Food is outstanding.

Everything there is still top notch and still trying to make it a regular Sunday morning stop. Update 3: business is as usual here at MI Cocina. Everything is as nice as before and business is booming as usual. Great place for food, drinks, family gatherings. Give it a try. No changes here....

Stuck in Highlands because Big Bear is off limits? Forget about buying snow chains for your wheels, get on down to Mi Cocina for some top notch Mexican meals.

The moment you walk through the doors of this beige palace you'll know you're home. I have a feeling Mi Cocina means "my kitchen" in Spanish, but if I had a second guess, I say it for sure means happiness.

This place is a gem. The vibes? Stunning. The margaritas sizes? Stunningly large. The live band? Playing a Spanish rendition of Margaritaville, yes that's right, stunning. If you think you've experienced happiness in your life then just stop lying to yourself and get on down here.

Show me a place where they hand make the hot sauce upon request and I'll let name my first born. Luiz is known to please.

So, if you've been out in the cold for a while, this Mexican kitchen will put a smile on your dial. Mi Cocina, I've never been...
