Cocula Restaurant - Chicago

Good authentic Mexican cuisine. Always a pleasure coming to this location. Feels like home! We enjoy coming to this location. Their enchiladas verdes are delicious with an icy Horchata. Oh, and their asada plain tacos for kids are big and tasty. Highly recommend this location.

Went to this restaurant with the family on Friday night. Was surprised that there was no waiting time, and a party of 5 people was seated by a hostess at a big table upon arrival. Portions are huge, and prices are affordable. Cocktails have non-alcoholic options. Meat cooked well and juicy, breaded shrimps are delicious, cow tongue is soft, and salsa roja is hot. The frozen strawberry margarita was quite large(I'm not complaining).

Where do I begin, the food was amazing!! Like my abuela was in the back making it. We went in there an hour before close (was about the only thing open that was close) the food wasn’t rushed, it was so fresh. Most importantly I hate going into restaurants right before close, but no one tried to rush us out. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!

The place was packed on Saturday night but we were able to get a table. Service was prompt and attentive. The horchata was good, not too sweet. I ordered the tampiquena plate and the steak was cooked perfectly (medium). My gf ordered the caldo de res soup and it was delicious as well. Also, there was a mariachi band playing in the background while we enjoyed our dinner. Overall, the food was great and the service was good too. Will be back next time.

We went last week with a few friends and family members. The food was great as usual and the waitresses were really kid friendly which meant a lot to us and made a great impression. Even The mariachi band that was playing was great with the kids. The only downside was when I went to take some green salsa and put on it a chip the first scoop I picked up had something in it. Upon looking closer I realized it was a rubber band. Luckily no one else at the table had touched it yet so none of us actually ate from the salsa but it was still gross. They did bring us another green salsa but at that point I lost my appetite for it, no one wants salsa with a side of rubber band.
