First of all let me say that I have always loved Mi Cocina! This particular location is inside of the Galleria Mall on the 1st floor. I had a long day of shopping for a few hours with my friends and like always we worked up a nice appetite. What better place than Mi Cocina do you go when you want some great Tex-Mex type of food. I love that they offer happy hour Monday-Thursdays so for anybody that comes during the week can take advantage of it.

When we first arrived we were greeted and seated right away! Score! No reservations needed or anything. Our server was super sweet and also patient. We took forever to order because we all were just catching up and barley even glanced at the menu. To kick things off right of course we started with some of the signature cocktails that they offer. My drink of choice was the cucumber margarita and boy was it tasty! YUM! I love when the bartender has no shame in making a drink that has some PUNCH! I think everybody at my table said that the drinks were amazing! I always go for the shaken since the ice takes up so much room in the cup when they don't pour it in the martini glass. The complimentary chips and salsa is always appreciated to pair with your drinks. I was feeling like a salad so I asked our server about some of the popular options. The chef has a special menu that day to choose from and the salad that caught my eye was called the "ensalada de flacca" or something of that nature. I added a salmon fillet on top with light dressing and I couldn't have been more happy with it. Delicious would be an understatement! My friends also enjoyed their orders and we all left full and a bit tipsy! What else can you ask for?
