| - I cannot recommend Cocina Economica enough - I've been here three times and the food and atmosphere are always incredible, and it's even friendly on the budget!
I would generally suggest making a reservation, as it's pretty small inside and draws a decent lunch and dinner crowd. On my most recent trip with a coworker for a birthday lunch, we shared the tostadas with guacamole which was delightful, a great starter size to share, with fantastic and very creamy guac.
We then each had the carnitas for the main, which always SEEMS like it's a small portion, but it really, really is not. The meat comes on its own plate, along with a side plate of rice and beans, and a selection of sauces and basic toppings (onions and lime, cilantro, two sauces and a selection of hot sauce) and really, the flavour is the meat is complex enough that the few add-ins are all you could need. It's also served with a basket of warm tortillas and some for tostadas.
The drinks here are a bit expensive, but I had the margarita with habanero, which they customize to your spice preference which was fiery and refreshing. The desserts are a pretty small selection and are, I think only average. We had the chocolate cake/ flan to share, and it was a generous portion. Try this palce out for sure!
