This was a great dining experience, fast but great mexican, fairly authentic, and super delicious margaritas! Good for families, or to hang out for a business lunch, parking a problem! more

Ten of us gathered at La Cocina on a Friday night at 8:30, to experience what would be one of the best Mexican meals we had ever had. Most of us have traveled literally around the world, eating at many fine restaurants, and now we have added La Cocina to the list of places we definitely want to eat at... more

Until La Coquina opened there was no good place to eat authentic Mexican food. All the other places in town are your typical burrito and taco joints whereas La Coquina has authentic Mexican food and some unusual dishes. My favorite thus far was the steak salad which included a well-seasoned and tender piece of steak the size of my plate.... more

My niece suggested that we all go to this restaurant and I was glad we did. The food was very authentic Mexican and the wait staff were very nice. We got great service with generous portions. I was even amused at the wacky wobbly glasses the drinks were served in. It didn't look much like a restaurant from the outside... more

I had previously written a very positive review on this restaurant which was in my opinion a very good choice in the St Augustine area, together with decent prices. With my wife, we paid again a visit in early May of 2009, and ...it was a disaster. Service was extremely long, 40 mn before we got some bread, and 50... more

We asked residents where to go for the best Mexican food in St. Augustine. Without the referral, we would not have stopped in. But don't be fooled by the exterior. The food and the service were excellent. The food was hot and fresh. Our server did everything possible to ensure we had a great visit. If we are ever back... more

After reading the positive reviews for this restaurant, our family decided to give it a try...and were we glad we did. The appetizers, food, drinks, and service were all excellent! The menu is authentic Mexican meals and the preparation and taste was superb! Our waiter was friendly and eager to provide our family with suggestions/recommendations, since this was our first... more

I went here for my 24th birthday meal when I was in St. Augustine and I was not disappointed! The decor is charming (not just a few sombreros and pictures of Pancho Villa), but the food is what makes this place so great. The restaurant actually cares about food presentation and your food looks very appealing on the plate and... more

We tried the La Cocina restaurant recently on a vacation trip to St Augustine. If you are expecting a Taco Bell or even an On the Border experience, you will most likely be disappointed. La Cocina is authentic Mexican cuisine and an excellent value especially compared to some of the restaurants in town. We started with the Yuca Fries, cheese... more
