La Cocina Mexican Restaurant / Smithfield

We went tonight to the new location and I don’t think we’d go back. It’s simply overpriced and underwhelming. There are so many better options if you don’t mind driving a bit. I will say Freddy our server, was great. Very attentive and kind. But the rest of the staff were messing around and being loud. There were two birthday celebrations and they were obnoxious!! So so so loud! Really disappointed overall. Take your money elsewhere

Delicious tex mex menu and specialty cocktails. The Sopa de Pollo is the best I have ever had. The wait staff are very friendly. The entrance always has rotating seasonal decor for a great photo op. Fun place to celebrate a birthday.

Our gang loves La Cocina ! We often gather at the one in Garner for special occasions! We all love the calendars too!

Ive gone to La Cocina for years now, and I've loved seeing them open new locations. Not a lot of restaurants do a great job of maintaining good food integrity, good service, and general higher standards when opening new locations. Not La Cocina. Every location- Great service, delicious food for a good price, and a calm relaxed atmosphere. Great if you just want standard Americanized Mexican food, or some more authentic dishes. I have never had anything but good experiences at EVERY location. Thanks guys for always giving us somewhere comfortable to go to get Great food. ¤
