La Cocina Grill - Santa Clarita

This place is a classic Mexican food place that's hidden but yet all the locals go for great food. It is usually very busy so get there early for good parking and great service. The drinks are generous and the bartender Armando is the best especially with mitchilada. My favorite Mexican restaurant in Santa Clarita.

We were unimpressed by this subpar Mexican restaurant. It’s a cattle call kind of place. The quality is lacking. The chips and salsa were bland and flavorless. The margarita was the worst we’ve ever had. Their bar tenders are lacking in this area. They water down their skinny margaritas with club soda. The club soda dominated the margarita. It was awful. We cold barely drink it. We should have sent it back. We gave this restaurant two tries, but we are done. I had the Chile relleno and it was decent. I also had the shrimp fajita dish and it was awful. It was flavorless and smothered with old flavorless onions. This is perhaps the worst dish I have ever had in a Mexican restaurant. My husband ordered the Chile verde. What a disastrous attempt at making chili verde. What he got was a pork in a pink sauce with peppers and onion. What a joke! Chile verde is a green sauce. This restaurant should be ashamed of themselves for serving this slop. The service was also terrible. Our waiters were always in a rush. They want to heard you in and out like cattle. There is zero ambiance. The restaurant is old and outdated. We’ve been to both the Seco Canyon and Bouquet Canyon Rd locations. Both a flop in our opinion. Same experience at both restaurants. This chain restaurant is not fit for us foodies and our foodie friends. We will not be back.

I have been eating here since 2012 and I always get CarneAsada Normally it comes with a nice chrae on a NY Strip, now is comes with no char and very tough to eat?? We are done with LaCo!!
