Cocina Mexicana

Totally a great place loved the cook and the guy that ran the front counter was literally the coolest guy ever! was in Lancaster for a music convention stopped here for food I totally recommend it to anyone! Best service best people best food ever!!

We have tried several taco places in town, and were not very happy. We came across this place on a whim and boy was I happy we tried this place! All of the food was loaded, they were not skimpy on filling the tacos. We have eaten here several times now and never disappointed. Every bite was loaded with authentic spices. I am determined to try everything on this menu!

Amazing food, truly authentic. Tacos al pastor are my go to but everything I've tried has been amazing.

FRESH! UNIQUE! PERFECT!
Was on the mood for something different and took a gamble on this place! Paid off! Carry out was perfectly packaged and the food was prepared to my specifications! I got some chicken selections. So excited about my next visit to explore more of the menu!
Side note: I am a terribly picky eater to the point it is frustrating. My special instructions were followed to the letter!

Cocina Mexicana is a Lancaster gem. The food is delicious and the owner is a wonderful person. I recommend the tortas (huge!) and the tacos. Guacamole also delicious. If you love spicy salsa, ask for the habanera, which is not automatically put on the table.

Truly authentic! Great place. Highly recommended the tacos - wow! Had the carnitas, arabe tacos and they were DELICIOUS! In my top five best taco - flavor, how it was cooked, etc. Everything was made to order but super quick to the table. Will be a regular here.

Food is excellent and very fresh tasting. Good portions for the price.

I very much enjoy this place and their menu. I particularly like their carne asada tacos and the el pastors.

What I find most impressive about this place is the shared space and ability to grab a drink at the Columbia Kettle works taproom, order some tacos, and grab a seat outside. Tacos come to you and go very well with Kettle Works Mexican lager.

This place was lovely! Our food was amazing and took under 10 minutes to get to us. Our server was so friendly and nice, and even the bathroom was big and beautiful and clean.

I also felt that the cost was less than I've paid at similar places in the county while they had quite a few options to choose from. I also definitely appreciate a menu section dedicated to meatless items!

It's a great pleace to grab food in Lancaster. My order is chips and salsa for the table, 2 al pastor tacos and a tamariand soda.

Amazing, authentic, fresh food! I've had a lot of Mexican food, and it's definitely my favorite. The tres leches is the best I've ever had.

Very authentic Mexican food. A great environment where you can bring your kids and enjoy authentic Mexican cuisine for very cheap.

The enchiladas verdes were absolutely phenomenal; Not heavy or overly saucy like most places. Thoroughly enjoyed the verde sauce. Will definitely return to try more things.

Lovely little Mexican restaurant. First time, food was very good, service was friendly and quick. Would eat here again.

We was visiting from Connecticut and the food was extraordinary super delicious we had the beefsteak dish 100% recommended

Hands down the best place to get authentic Mexican food in Lancaster. The place may be small but they serve fast and with great customer service. I am glad I don’t live within walking distance or I would be there everyday. Also not everybody can cook cactus right but there cactus is good.

Great food and ordered food for family of 5 plus guacamole & paid just $38! We never pay less than 50 even at fast food joints. Great service too. We'll be back soon.

The most athletic Mexican place in Lancaster, food is fantastic.

Recently relocated closer to Zoetropolis theater. Family business and they make you feel at home! Menu items are tacos, tortas, burritos, enchiladas, nachos...hard to select when all items are delicious. Even takeout is "delicioso."

Great cozy setting and a relaxing atmosphere. The food is made fresh to order and the quality for each order is exactly right, not too big and not too small. There are many authentic items on the menu that make me want to visit again. I will be back for sure.
