What People Are Saying About Mi Cocina

In Short – Mico Rodriguez, owner of this Tex-Mex neighborhood restaurant went against tradition by covering his walls with contemporary original art and installing an upscale sound system. Ease into the Latin lounge and absorb the chic urban-Hispanic tunes while sipping a classic cocktail. If you're ready for an intensely flavored meal, try the Locos al Carbon, chicken or beef fajitas or the Rico salads, with Mico dressing. Other menu standouts include the sour cream chicken enchilada, and Mama's tacos and pinto bean soup.

Mi Cocina has been closed for over a year

by thehanedog

It used to be a great spot, both for food and nightlife, but questionable mgmt decisions ran the place under.

If you're looking for great Mexican, try something on Southwest Blvd, like El Pueblito, La Taqueria, or La Fonda el Taquito, or on Broadway there's Los Tules. All are fantastic!

so glad there is a location here in KC!!!!

by gohogsgirl

I was a frequent visitor of Mi Cocina in Dallas, and also of the "mother ship" MIA's on Lemon in Dallas - the branch here in KC does NOT disappoint! Yes, the Boulevard has good mex, but Mi Cocina is TEX MEX at it's finest, and if you don't know the difference - by all means go back to El Maguey (are you kidding me with that one?) anyway, the food is a bit on the high side, but it's beautifully presented and the ingredients are top notch - in other words - you get what you pay for! Not to miss - the brisket tacos (brought here from Mia's) and the Tacos al Carbon - the Tostados are a treat as well!!!

  • Pros: my favorite place in town!
  • Cons: people who have no idea what good tex mex is write bad reviews

Can't get enough of

by slcfrog

I don't know where the last reviewer was at but it couldn't have been Mi Cocina. The atmosphere is great, the service is great especially once you get to know the staff. The food is excellent, not your typical tex-mex, a little more flare to it. And the margarita's are killer. I especially love the Mambo Taxi. And if the last reveiwer thought they were watered down, they either waited till their ice melted or are pretty hard core drinkers because 3 of either of these will send you on your way. I can't recommend this place enough. The best happy hour around too.

  • Pros: Food, Margarita's, Happy Hour
  • Cons: Bathroom access, Sometimes loud

The Details on Mi Cocina

What to Drink:

Rum, soda, simple syrup and mint produce a mojito, the Cuban classic. For a little something extra, sample the Mambo Limousine or the Mambo Taxi.
