Mama Coco Cocina Mexicana: Reviews & Ratings

Best chips I’ve ever tried in my life. The server recommended me the Cochinita Pibil and it was ON POINT. Great recommendations and great service. They could work on the house margarita cause it feels a little bit synthetic but my friend ordered a strawberry one and it was delicious!

Wonderful warm friendly service with very authentic Mexican dishes. A bit on the pricey side but it's a much better experience.

Great mexican food. Staff was really nice, welcomed and they helped us choose what we wanted to have for dinner, I have my favourites but I always like to listen to the recommendations and we ended up with one of recommended starters and we asked a few questions too about the dishes generally. From the drinks to the desserts, all was really good and tasty. Fish tacos are always one of my choices and churros were really nice and interesting! We had a pincher of mango marguerita that was really nice and well done!

Went for lunch on a quiet week day. The tamales tasted homemade from an authentic Mexican kitchen. The drinks were a splurge, but we wanted to spice up the afternoon. I will for sure visit again.

Oh wow! This place is a gem. We had huarache with cochinita pibil and torta with al pastor - could not stop eating even though the portions were huge. They have heated patio so it was a comfortable dining even on a rainy day. Appreciate all the hard work the staff is putting into providing the best experience for their customers!

Been here a few times. The last time they got our orders wrong a bit. We asked for two kids burritos, one veggie one chicken. They brought out one, said it was vegor but it was chicken. Not a big deal for us, 1 year old just doesn't like meat really. I put it up to a busy day or something. Every other time we have gone there it has been perfect. The guacamole is generous as are other portions. Try it.

Excelente Tortilla soup! Fresh and tasty! One of the best tortilla soups I have tasted here in the US or in Mexico! The chicken burrito was amazing. We tried the empanadas and they were amazing! The guacamole was nice and fresh. It was mild, and chunky, the way I like it. Here we are again! Delicious … just delicious… they don’t disappoint

If you go to MAMA COCO you have to order the Margarita Serrano Margarita. It’s the best out of all the options. Burrito’s presentation isn’t the best but Fajitas plating was really good and the server was cool enough to tell me to try out the Chipotle Chicken Enchiladas. Would come back.
