“Always delicious, with a great selection of food. Prices are higher than other taco restaurants in the neighborhood, but their refried beans are very good. The tacos are good sized, and with three to a plate, you will leave full. The music can sometimes be very loud...”

“Very delicious authentic Mexican Food. The service is great very friendly and fast . I've never gone and had to wait long to be seated. Their Tres leches cake is hands down the best! If you're celebrating anything definitely get a slice of tres leches cake!”

“The food was authentic, flavorful, and delicious! My friend ordered quesabirria tacos and I got the caldo de res. Each dish came with so many sides too and free chips with salsa. The prices were very affordable at only $13.95 per entree. The vibes were very warm and family friendly.”

“La comida estuvo muy rica , muy buena sazón y la cantidad que comida que te sirven es muy justa , la carne si estaba un poco salada para mi gusto y las margaritas con muy poco o casi nada de alcohol , pero el ambiente y el servicio del lugar muy bueno , muy atenta la mesera y servicio muy rápido”

“Best place hands down for authentic mexican food best prices and top quality fresh food will never disappoint i come 2 hours just to eat here so you know its definitely worth it.perfection muah!”

“Cocula— is one of my favorite places for breakfast! 🍳 I travel all the way from the far north, but it’s worth every mile. I don’t know if it’s the delicious food, the great service, or the cozy atmosphere—but I just love it! ¡Delicioso! 🤤 #Cocula #BreakfastLover #ChicagoFoodie”

“Everything was good. But no Bud light. I give them an 8”

“Worst miche ive had in a while, I ordered a shrimp/octopus coctel, octopus was chewy and undercooked. My girl had a torta de asada, she rated it a 8/10.”

“I would give this a zero star rating if that was an option. We spent $100+ on this food for Mother’s Day and none of it had any flavor. A pinch of salt would’ve made it better.”
