Went here for lunch today for the first time. I was very satisfied with the al pastor (marinated pork) tacos. My only complaint is that the tacos were pretty expensive (relative to other restaurants) and the portions were smaller than anticipated. A single taco will set you back $3.75 and a combo with 3 tacos, beans and rice will set you back $14 before sales tax. I ordered three tacos but no sides. I could've probably eaten five or even six tacos. For $3.75, I would expect three or four to fill me up. With that being said, I think it's worth it, especially given that the tacos were really good and there aren't many good Mexican restaurants (Qdoba doesn't count) within walking distance.
Wife and I came in for breakfast this morning. It’s casual. We had the huevos rancheros and a breakfast burrito. Spicy sauce is spicy so I’d recommend on side unless you’re really a fan of spice. Portions were huge but delicious. Service was prompt and kind. Definitely worth a visit.
This is my 3rd time having La Cocina. My 3rd visit I got the chicken tamale plate. Hair in my tamale and the picture attached is exactly how my food looked when I opened it. Tamale open and u can see I didn’t waste anything in my platter. Done.
Stopped in for lunch today for the first time. Ordered the quesadilla dinner and it was lots of food and delicious. Also, the customer service is great here. Highly recommend this place if you are near the financial district of the loop.

Love this place, have missed it since they move from Jackson. Quick service, good food, and complimentary chips and salsa. Friendly staff always playing dance music techno tacos.
Very solid spot in the loop for a quick place to get some tacos and sit downYou order at the front and they bring out your food in about 5 minutes.
Been working in Loop and eating here several times per year for more than a decade.
It's my favorite breakfast burrito place in downtown Chicago. Great green salsa.
