Cocina Superior

If you're only going out to be seen, this is one of the places to go.

Certainly do not go here for the food. I expected much more when i went. I have been back a couple more times but, I only sat at the bar waiting on some friends. I'll always suggest somewhere different if I'm out with friends looking for somewhere to eat.

• Pros:  Great place to go if you only want to be seen
• Cons: very croweded with people who pretend their not looking around wondering who is looking at them.

Great atmosphere - not Mexican food

by kanonymous at Citysearch

The food at Cocina Superior is creative, but lacking. The salsa tastes like chopped tomatoes with black pepper sprinkled on. That said, it's a gorgeous location, plenty of gorgeous people, definitely a place to see and be seen. It makes me miss home and our authentic Mexican food.

• Pros: pretty place, pretty people, great decor
• Cons: crowded, inauthentic food, slow service, pricey

I'm a regular

When it comes to cheap, modern Mexican, Cocina can't be beat. Another reviewer commented on poor service and unsanitary conditions, but I've eaten there since the day it opened and I have never had any of those problems (sanitation scores are also posted in all restaurants - I used to serve...).

What to order? The chicken tortilla soup is awesome. The queso dip can't be beat. If you're looking for a lighter fare, try the hippie-chick wrap with their sauteed vegetables - phenomenal! True mexican fans will appreciate their enchiladas de pollo con mole - or even just their simple three taco option. Their food is really great and very cheap.

The BAR - order a frozen mojito and experience the magic. Seriously people - I live for this cocktail. Minty, refreshing, and just the right amount of lime....

• Pros: hot waiters, unique atmosphere, great bar
• Cons: can have a long wait on saturday nights
