We began our visit with the usual cocktail of choice when dining at a Mexican restaurant – Margaritas. The frozen margaritas were finely blended and refreshing, but a tad on the sweet side.
For starters we chose the “Ceviche de Camarones” – Shrimp, mangos, avocado, cilantro and jicama. The presentation of this refreshing appetizer was fantastic. The mango salsa marinate was delicious and gave each shrimp and jicama slice a savory appeal.
From the A la Carte menu we chose the Tamales “Pork Picoso”, a generous serving of four tamales with a zesty sauce served on the side. The sauce was greatly appreciated as the tamales came slightly dry.

From the “Diana’s Favorites” section of the menu we selected the Tacos “De Brisket”. We’re not sure who Diana is, but she sure has good taste. The brisket filling was tender and moist, perfectly seasoned.

Our server was friendly and attentive. When we asked to have our appetizer and entrees served separately, he gladly obliged, allowing us to savor our Ceviche without worrying that the entree would be cold when we got around to it.
Overall, the missteps were few and minor. Definite recommendations of the items we tried would be the brisket tacos and the ceviche, understanding that “de Camarones” means “with shrimp”. If you are used to white fish ceviche, the more familiar kind, you might be disappointed.
If you don’t mind the decor and choose your entrees wisely, you should find your Mi Cocina experience a pleasant one.
