“Delicious food and drinks. Ive visted three times and i have not had a single bad thing on the menu. The mezcalitas are absolutley to die for. The wings fire garlic shrimp and birria egg rolls are fantastic appetizers. !!! Great specials rotating different days of the week. Shoutout to sergio; great service!!!!”
“The Tequila Saganaki was amazing! Unique and delicious! We tried the salmon and asked for the brown molé instead of the Verde and it was just as delicious. Our waiter was friendly and helpful. We also enjoyed the blackberry mojito. It's a go to, family friendly place to enjoy a great lunch or dinner.”
“Dinner at My Cocina in Streamwood tonight and wow, this place absolutely delivers. The tacos are the kind that make you pause mid-bite and reconsider your life choices. I had the chile garlic shrimp taco, the brisket crunch taco, and the blackened salmon taco, and every single one was packed with flavor. Portions are seriously generous, and everything tasted incredibly fresh. The cuisine here is top notch without the top shelf prices. Tacos were only $5 to $6 each, so affordable compared to other restaurant prices. Service was friendly, fast, and genuinely welcoming. We’re planning to come back tomorrow because the food was that good. If you’re near Streamwood, My Cocina is worth the detour and then some.”
“What a gem! The restaurant has such a nice, cozy feel. I really like the lighting and the music, it makes the atmosphere more personal. Our server was wonderful as was the food. Highly recommend the mezcalitas! There were a lot of families and larger parties that came in but this place is great for a date night too. I liked the sopes so much I went back to order take out the next weekend.”
“The food here is excellent and the only thing that tops it is the service. Looking for a great place to eat look no further. Good food, amazing drinks and unbelievable service! Sergio is our favorite waiter! He is attentive and super funny. He remembers our drinks and food preferences. Come out and have a great meal!! We will probably be here too 😏”
“Outstanding service, drinks and food. A hidden gem in Streamwood, for sure.”
“I stumbled upon this small but excellent restaurant by chance. The food was delicious, and the service was very attentive and friendly. I had the "Tequila Saganaki" appetizer and the "Premium Taco Dinner", all of which I highly recommend.”
“This spot is a fantastic find! Friendly service, wide assortment of specialty drinks, and delicious food! Everything was yummy & I can't wait to go back with more friends.”
“Outstanding Mexican cuisine! My niece and I ate here on a recent Sunday. My carne asada à la Tampiquena was perfect and the rice was delicious. My niece ordered the Tacos and raved about how good they were. We washed it down with some tasty Micheladas. Service was superior, the owner was very nice and pleasant talked with us. They have a very large bar and the interior is spacious with a nice vibe. Restaurant is located in a strip mall with plenty of parking.”
“Had the beef Barbacoa enchiladas with green sauce and elote for dinner. It was so good! Highly recommend!”
“Update (9/17/25): Still love this place, dined in today and very packed for a Wednesday night - which was great to see! Very attentive staff, super clean (huge plus Fabuloso smelling bathroom area). Food and drinks were delicious: today I highly recommend the $1 Wings 😍, Shrimp Diablo, the Agua de Nopal, Chips and Salsa were free and great, Tacos all good (Chicken tinga, pastor, and mahi mahi), Agua de Horchata, and the seasonal special "Apple Pie Burrito" 🌯 🍎🥧 (didn't expect the combo but was exquisite 🤤). Original (2023): I love My Cocina! Highly recommend the shrimp Mac and Cheese. We recently moved to the area and this was one of our first pickup picks and was phenomenal as take out. Somehow we've yet to dine in but ordered for pickup/ delivery and it's been amazing every single time!!! 👏 Usually we devour the food before we get to take a picture or review. This last order we had the shrimp mac and cheese with 4 tacos, 2 al pastor, 1 carnitas, 1 chicken. All great! Loved the salsa. I'm usually anti pineapple on the pastor but these were great with it <3. I also snuck it to be the last order by phone after a delayed work trip, so 5 stars 🌟 for excellent service. Hidden gem!”
