Great Tasting Mexican Food and Very Friendly Staff. Pricing is decent. They have freshly made chips and salsa counter. Their sauces are a must try. Nice outside seating area.

Delicious food! Great rice, delicious beans, the carnitas are seasoned perfectly. Great art, and Pepsi product!

The Baja Fish Taco plate was delicious. Warm greetings from the staff. Great place for lunch.

Nice little Mexican restaurant. Had dinner with a medium sized group. The ingredients were good, the portions were generous, the price was reasonable, and the chips and salsa bar has a good range of spiciness available. The counter service was friendly, and they brought out our food promptly. There is a kids menu available. Outside seating is available.

I've been here and got hooked. I come here almost every week. The burrito is very authentic and full of flavor. The authenticity and flavor of this place really compared to the restaurants out in Mission District of San Francisco, and they have really good authentic Mexican restaurants there. I have to definitely recommend this spot. They also have free chips here, although I would prefer that they had bigger salsa containers, bigger containers for the chips.

Good food. Comfortable, family and friend environment. Clean, open, with a view of the street, out front. Just off of Main St, in the middle of downtown. I had the chickem enchilada plate once and the salad, earlier that day. It was so good, I went back with a friend. Prices were under $10 for many entrees. Since you order at the register, tipping is optional but I was so pleased, I did. They also have free chips and a good variety of free salsa.

The food was amazing you could taste every ingredient in every bite. The service was amazing an fast, the lady who served us a was very nice. My kids loved it too they said the chips and the sauce was really good and they loved the enchiladas and burritos. It wasn’t very crowed but everyone we saw looked like they liked the food. I definitely recommend this place if you want fast service and the best Mexican food.

Amazing food I always get a wet burrito 50/50 mild sauce and hot sauce with shredded chicken refried rice cheese pico de gallo and sour cream my favorite place for burritos at the moment

This is a go to place for us. We had my favorite - their special nachos, the crunchy wrap, which I have never seen elsewhere. And lots of free chips and salsa !

Cocina Mexico is a gem in downtown Pleasanton. Authentic, great Mexican food at reasonable cost. Our favorite dish is Chile Relleno! Anthony, the owner cares that diners have a good experience!

Hands down the best nachos is town! Their burritos are also really good. The owners are really friendly. Definitely come here for great Mexican food at a reasonable price.

Best Mexican food in Pleasanton. I moved to Walnut Creek, and I still come back here for Mexican food. Staff is incredibly friendly and the food is incredible. Owner is very respectful and takes care of their customers. 5/5 stars every day

Good Baja Fish tacos (grilled, not fried) - large portion. Refried beans were OK, but rice was subpar. Unlimited chips and drink refills, but most of their plates don't include drinks. I'll be back for individual tacos.

It’s now 2023 and I still like it. Friendly people. Still affordable. Food is very good. We can have the dog with us and eat in the nice patio. Counter service. Healthy tip: People love their Kale salad. Perfect location 1/4 block from Main St.

A Disappointing Decline at an Old Favorite: Cocina Mexico used to be our family’s go-to takeout spot for many years. Their burritos and guacamole were once unmatched—delicious, reliable, and full of flavor. We’ve had countless great meals from there, and they were always our first choice for quick, satisfying takeout. Unfortunately, over our last several visits, we’ve noticed a clear and disappointing decline in food quality and service. The first sign was the guacamole. It had always been fresh and flavorful, but one evening it tasted completely off—mostly mayonnaise with barely any avocado. It was inedible, and we ended up throwing it away. We gave them the benefit of the doubt, assuming it was a one-time mistake. The burritos that night were still good, so we returned a few more times—this time avoiding the guacamole. But recently, we ordered burritos again and were surprised to find a side container of shredded lettuce. Once home, we realized neither burrito included lettuce inside, as we always request. No one informed us there was an issue with our order or offered to correct it. We had to take apart the burritos and stuff in the lettuce ourselves. To make matters worse, the burritos had a disproportionate amount of tomatoes and barely any chicken. This is not the level of care and attention to detail we’ve come to expect from Cocina Mexico. What’s most disappointing isn’t just the errors—it’s the lack of communication or effort to make it right. After so many years of loyal patronage, it’s disheartening to feel like quality and customer care are no longer priorities. We’re grateful for the many good meals we’ve had here in the past, but sadly, it’s time for our family to move on and find a new go-to. We wish Cocina Mexico the best and hope they find their way back to the high standards that once made them a neighborhood favorite.

This place is not good at all. There is No flavor at all. This is like restaurant version of Taco Bell. I got a super burrito grilled chicken, completely tasteless. To the non Hispanics this may be goodBut to us Hispanics who know good Mexican food definitely a disappointment. I don’t know how They have good reviews I’m guessing they do the old family trick be there is no way… the ages horchata wasn’t even good either! Tastes like one of those bags that you buy at Safeway and mix with water. Ugh never again will I waste $60 on two burritos a kids quesadilla and two drinks.
