Restaurantji's Flint guide: Where to find the ultimate Mexican flavors.
“Cocina Mia is a small family owned restaurant that boasts an excellent menu of home-cooked style Mexican cuisine.Not having been to every Mexican restaurant in Flint, I can't definitively say this is the best, but it certainly has to be in the running.Prices are as affordable as they come ($1 taco Tuesdays!), everything is freshly made, and the service is fast and friendly.They do have rather restrictive hours so check before heading out!There can also sometimes be a long line, especially on Tuesdays, but they are quite good at getting everyone taken care of in a timely fashion.This is a lunchtime staple for me and I've never had a bad experience.“
“Wonderful restaurant. Great service and food. We enjoyed it very much and look forward to it becoming one of our go-to eating places. Prices were fair. The food portion was good. Food seasoning and presentation were good. Menu is easy to navigate, and the drink menu allows for a variety of different options.“
“been hearing and seeing this place and I'm always hesitant to try new mexican places but after my gpa said its alot like how his family in Texas cooks and my sister alway enjoyed it. so,, today we decided to try it and immediately fell in love. the barbacoa was tender and full of flavor, the beans and rice were perfect the green salsa and the pico we got was also perfect just the right mix and kick.my mom also enjoyed her burrito meal and my young niece demolished some barbacoa also like she was feral. just like my gpa said it also reminded my dad and I of how food in Texas tasted. we we def will be making this a favorite place for ordering mexican food when we don't wanna cook!“
“Ground beef was seasoned to perfection, and tasted amazing! The nachos were outstanding! My family really enjoyed sinking their teeth into this delicious meal! Can't wait to try again! They also have good prices! 12 tacos with cheese and a grande nacho for $24, hopefully they start staying open “
“Typical Mexican restaurant. The food is just so so the service is always good and fast and the prices are fair so they stay busy. I had the birria tacos from here and they were okay. The beans have good flavor and when mixed with the rice and add a little salt and pepper they're a decent side. The chips are good thicker than I prefer but tasty. The salsa is very thin and not very spicy. If that's your bag this is your place.“
“My wife & I tried this place for the 1st time today. The food smelled great when we walked in. Quick & friendly service. We just got tacos but they were some of the best tacos I've ever had. Absolutely delicious. Beef seasoned great. Shells cooked perfectly. We will be “
“I prefer the regular taco (chorizo) over any of the other meat options. I really wish they would bring back the fried clucker. The smoked clucker is OK but not a favorite. You can ask for the nacho chips in a separate bowl so the chips don't get soggy. Check this place out and have a tenacity beer.“
“Vasquez is the best! We had their food truck at my daughters high school graduation open house this weekend and it was top notch! We had chicken and beef tacos, taco salad, walking tacos and chips and salsa! Everyone loved the food and they made the prep and execution so easy for us! Highly recommend them!“
“Many dishes are Tex-Mex but there are numerous authentic dishes PLUS they accommodate most requests. If they have in ingredients, they can make it for you. The atmosphere is welcoming and promises fun from the beautiful tables and booths to the staff. It is very easy to enjoy your food!Parking: Large side and back parking.Wheelchair accessibility: The wheelchair spots are in the front but off to the side. Someone in a wheelchair would need to move a distance more than usual. Not far but not close.“
“A small place with atmosphere. Tacos unlike taco bell or other chain restaurants. Things aren't smothered in cheese or floating in red sauce. I will ask for onions next time though for that added something. The waitress we had was tops! Don't let the location scare you away.Dietary restrictions: I eat gluten-free and could easily find options.“
“I don't know "real" Mexican food like some do. I'm a Flintstone. But as local foods go, Lupe's is very consistent. Always tastes great. It's always hot. Service is prompt & friendly. Price is reasonable even post-covid. And over many years has never gotten an order wrong, unlike a certain spicy chicken place.“
