Mexican Cuisine
If you enjoy Taco Tuesday, then you have officially fallen in love with the Mexican Food. The main grain of Mexican cuisine is maize. Also known as corn, maize is grown for the past 9000 years after the crop was discovered by the people in Mayan civilization. Mexican empire flourished when they started growing beans, tomatoes, chili pepper, sweet potato and cactus. Till this date these ingredients are used in cooking authentic Mexican dishes and drinks.
Great use of spices, fresh chili pepper dishes like fajitas, tortilla chips, corn chips, salsa, chimichangas, burritos, nachos and quesadillas are invented in America. But when you are looking for authentic Mexican food then you must find a restaurant in the city that serves Rajas con Queso, Garbanzo in a Guajillo Chile Sauce, Pork Filled Chiles Rellenos, Chiles en Nogada, Molcajete Salsa, Pico de Gallo and Frijoles de la Olla. An eye-opening fact – Mexican don't like their food hot. They use fresh chili and other spices to create a flavor that lingers in your mouth.
Mexican food is great for those who are Gluten Intolerant as they use Corn instead of wheat in most of their dishes. Also, you can easily find many beans based Mexican dishes. Another dish which didn't get similar glory as tacos or nachos is the Mexican hot chocolate. If you love something hot on a chilly day, then go for Mexican Hot Chocolate. On merry days, you can enjoy the authentic Mexican Drinks like Tequila, Mezcal, Tecuí, Sotol, Bacanora, Charanda, Posh O Pox, Puebla and Pulque. Mexican Cuisine is for people who enjoy strong drinks and hearty meals.

Cocina Real is about 10 minutes walking distance from my home and I eat there often. Been going there for 10 years. They offer reliably good, not great, Mexican food for a reasonable price. I usually have enchiladas or one of the seafood specials. One of my particular favorites is the Enchiladas Sonora, which has smoked chicken, spinach, poblano peppers, and pinto beans with verde sauce. A recent addition to the menu is a soup that has broiled shrimp, chicken, rice, and fresh slices of avocado. I REALLY like that. It's medium spicy so it probably isn't for everyone's taste. My next project is to test fire all their chicken entrees. This place isn't particularly fancy but I have found it to be a good value for the money. I've always had good service too, but I usually come on Monday evenings when it isn't particularly busy, either.

My daughter and I this place! Great service, food is excellent! Chips are warm and fresh! Been going here since we moved to Madison almost 2 years now

Had some tasty lunch food here - fast too. I gave the shrimp chimichanga a try. It had hearty amounts of shrimp and the red sauce was tasty. I really liked the guacamole. First time visit so I'll be back.

I'm always up for finding a new Mexican restaurant to enjoy! Sadly, this one just didn't cut it. I ordered the combo platter (14 I think) and was excited to try their tamale! The waiter informed me that they hadn't made any yet. Okay, it was right around 1pm, they may have run out already with the lunch rush? I look around and the place is relatively slow with plenty of tables open (maybe people don't go there for late lunch). So, I was able to replace the tamale with a beef chimichanga! When my meal came, I really couldn't pick out which was which (burrito vs. enchilada vs. chimichanga). After a little while, I realized the chimichanga was slightly crispy than the other two. Still, no idea which one was a burrito. My friend ordered some rice milk (there's a name for it and I'm not about to get that wrong), unfortunately she had to remove an ice cube that had an unidentified black speck on it (gross) - but kudos to her for finishing the drink (I would not have been able to). Service was pretty quick and we were in and out in 30 minutes for lunch (again, they weren't that busy - but I still like it when I can have a quick meal). I have certainly had better, but unfortunately I have had worse (mostly why I couldn't justify a 1 star rating).

Decent Americanized-Mexican food; if you've been to Laredo's, the food is identical - it's actually the same company/group. A solid option for lunch. Group of us had a celebration lunch here today; we have visited as a group several other times as well - experience is usually the same. + Prompt seating; very spacious - good spot for groups + Fast service; chips/salsa/drinks arrive almost immediately; refills are fast + Table-made guac is quite tasty + Lunch specials provide a good value; I've never had one, but my tablemates have always enjoyed them. The Mexican Omelet looked especially good - eggs, bell peppers, tomatoes, chihuahua cheese, chorizo, jalapeño sauce and avocado... + I usually order the El Tesoro salad - marinated chicken, grilled asparagus, radish, cucumber, and mixed greens. - Chips during this last visit tasted off; the oil was either burned or old, and the salsa was extremely watery.

New to the area we visited for lunch with high hopes for authentic carne asada tacos and Tostadas. The room and seating were good, the service was prompt and friendly, but the food fell flat. Everything tastes as though it came from a Sysco foods can, including the guacamole and salsa. We were comparing our food to Los Gemelos on Odana Rd where the meat tastes homemade, the salsa and guacamole are fresh, and prices feel almost too low.

I would stay away. This was the worst Mexican food experience I have ever had, including Taco Bell and other fast food. Service was painfully slow, even getting seated or water and chips. Chips were bland and salsa even blander. The burrito fajita came after a 20 minute wait and was disgusting. No other word for it. It was drenched with sour cream, soggy from the grease, and the ingredients tasted as if they were from a local school cafeteria. I couldn't finish more than one bite. The server stopped by after another 10 minutes, and I asked for my check. No concern for the quality of my meal or even a thought for my experience. Eat at Taqueria Guadalajara on Park St. instead.

Cocina Real was accurately described as sorta upscale Mexican. Maybe Mexican diner for Americans... which isn't a bad thing. It's consistently pretty good. We've been coming here for years. Margaritas are decent, the main dishes are suitable for sharing. In general, they are busy the service can be a bit slow... if they aren't busy, the service is fantastic. Tonight we split fajitas Guadalajara - pork, chicken, beef. It's decent and plenty big enough for two.

Horrible service. Slower than a dying snail in the Tijuana heat. Went there for lunch, ordered and had to leave 40 minutes later because my food never showed up. At least I got a few chips to eat. Gotta love not being able to have lunch on your lunch break. I will never go there again. Gracias for nothing.

I don't give many 5 star reviews and I just ate here yesterday and again today. First, don't expect fine cuisine. I'm not sure when Eric S. ate here, but the vegetables in my fajitas were DEFINITELY NOT frozen. Granted, I got the Fajitas Guadalajara, and it had peppers and onions. Neither were frozen. They still had that crunch and taste from having been fresh before grilling. This place is an upscale, greasy spoon Mexican place, and it does it extremely well! My fajitas were $14 and I ate 3 huge fajitas in the restaurant and still had enough for 3 more at lunch the next day! Finally - the guacamole and the flan -- fresh guacamole - has chunks of avocado in it and is made to order. They also use enough lime that it only browns around the edges by the next day. The flan - oh my god... The first time I had it - perfect. So smooth and creamy... Was a spiritual experience. On top of this all... Freshly fried and still warm corn tortilla chips, and fresh salsa... What more can you ask for?

Stopped in for lunch. Food was good, price was very reasonable, and the service was spot on. I will return.

We have been to cocina real a few times and find that there are two things to order. Number 1 is the nachos con mariscos. Enough for two with plenty of chips, cheese and seafood ( shrimp and scallops). The other thing to order is a margarita, especially on 2 for 1 Tuesdays and Thursdays. We have tried other menu items and found them to be utterly terrible ( we have not tried the fresh guacamole). We have noted thst kids do seem to like other menu items... So, get nachos con mariscos and margaritas and you will love this place!

Good food, clean, and good service. We have visited here that past two Sundays, and we have had great food and excellent service. The new location is clean, and very well kept. Our food came out quickly, and everything we have ordered has been great.
