  This is a wonderful and authentic Mexican restaurant located in Temple, PA.    I eat here on a regular basis and like to take out of town clients here for lunch as well.    The food and the service is great as well as the prices.   They have an a-la-carte menu if you do not want to commit to on dish.

  Wasn't sure what to do with the chips came with two sides looked like coal slaw and some brown sauce I wasn't sure was any good, afraid to try it figured at least I have chips but a lass they were stale,  no lunch special on Sunday's . Meals seemed over priced so I ordered Ala cart two enchiladas, they came pretty fast but were not very good. I have been craving a good Mexican place and was disappointed!  The one thing good I can say is the place looks nice, cool chairs and designed decent. The pina colada I ordered came in a big glass but lacked any real strength to it but wasn't badly priced .

  Meh, it was just OK I guess. Food was passable, I liked what I ordered but my wife ordered a burrito, didn't say it came with sour cream and guacamole in the menu, but there it was in her food- and she hates them! The complimentary tortilla chips tasted stale, and the salsa paired with it was wayyy too hot, something meant for the whole table should be a little milder. I couldn't eat it. Service was pretty bad- I try never to bother servers too much cause I realize the job isn't easy, but when you come to my table three times and still don't ask if I would like more water, don't stare darts at me cause I ask you for some and you end up making two trips. All in All, I think you'd be better off down the road a bit at Alebrije.

  La Cocina Mexicana is a fantastic place that my wife and I eat at at twice a month. It offers authentic Mexican food that the chain restaurants pale in comparison too. If you go, try the shrimp cocktail. It's the Mexican take on a traditional appetizer and is well worth it!
