Made a reservation here and arrived promptly at 7:30pm ready to eat. I was pretty dismayed having to wait until 745pm despite having the reservation. In fact I was already thinking "minus one star" in my head. The waiter was very courteous though and apologized several times and offered to grab us some drinks while we waited.
Cocina Economica is a pretty tiny place, maybe seating 30 inside and a small patio out front. It was jam packed and I expect it to remain that way, so make a reservation!
We were seated in a corner nook of the bar area which was perfect, direct access to the drinks and could slightly view into the kitchen.
The menu consists of 10-15 tapas style smaller portions and 5-6 entrees. All reasonably priced. I opted for the pastor, $13, which is pork served with pineapple. Came with a side of rice and beans and hot tortillas to eat the meat with. We also shared a guacamole $9. You are served a trip of salsas to start and the waiter made us some free drinks to try, a Mexican drink with rice milk and cinnamon on ice, which was very refreshing.
The food was delicious, I definitely recommend the carne pastor.
Decor is very cool and very Mexican. Waitstaff all super friendly.
An easy 5 star given that our bill only came to $60 before tip, which was food for 3 people and a couple coronas!
Voy a volver!!!
