La Cocina De Mama - Étlap

I'm from Texas so I believe tex mex is pretty close to the real deal mexican food. I'm usually disappointed eating Mexican food anywhere else so we usually don't eat it when on vacation. This time I figured we can give it a try. The pozole was very good,the mole was very rich. I was pleasantly surprised and actually went back to try other things and couldn't find anything tocomplain about and I actually thought it was some of the best Mexican food north of the border. The view from the patio isamazing as well. I come into town every year and can't wait to come back.

They were very good! The drinks were meh but the food was enjoyable. There are a couple other better Mexican restaurants in Estes but if you 're in the area, La Cocina isn 't a bad stop. The salsa was yummy and the chips were decent. It was affordableand good value for the money.

They also have a food truck we enjoy ordering from as well.You won 't go wrong coming here but like I said, some other places...

The burrito had NO taste and no ingredients (besides cheese) to give it anycharacter. I had to ask for salsa just to make it palatable. This restaurant had the worst service of any Mexican restaurantthat I 've ever been to. Normally a Mexican restaurant prides itself on its good and fast service. This place was slow bringingdrinks, never refilled waters, got NO free chips and salsa (standard at any decen...
