El Cocinero - Tallahassee

Great place for a quick bite, staff is friendly, great drink options and the food is tasty! Avocado taco with chips and salsa are my go to. *Chef's kiss*

Went based on a friends recommendation. Thought well here goes nothing spending $45 on tacos, but I ll give it a shot. So stopped and picked up the 12 Tacos Kit to go box and an order of queso with the chorizo and smoked jalapeño. I called at 6pm,they answered the phone immediately, they were cheerful and polite, even checked with the kitchen to verify how long it wouldbe. Said 20 to 30 mins, I was there in 25 and it was ready. Even after the 15min ride home. Food was fresh and still prettydamn warm. All I can say is dammmnnn! This food was fantastic unique and flavorful. All the accompaniments you could want,salsas that were awesome. Grilled chicken was great and the Al Paster and Potato Chorizo were amazing. The chips were crisp andfresh and have a great flavor by themselves and queso was unreal. A ton of food, this will feed 4 easy giving you your money'sworth. All in a well put together open and serve box. Will definitely be returning for follow up ????

Tonight with my partner and another couple here. we had a few drinks queso and guacamole as an appetizer and got tacos each. I had the Cocinero classic who was good, but I loved her seasonal rosmarin aprikosentrunk. our server recommended to mix in the rosmarin infused whip cream into the drink, giving it a creamsicle feeling. it was sooo good. excellent recommended. I'd get it back. I got the fried fish taco that was my favorite, I enjoyed the buffalo flowers taco, but it was quite sharp. the shrimp-picante-taco was disappointing for me, but everything else was great. definitely one of my best trips to el cocinero. that was my first time since they moved. I can't remember our waiter name, but she was very sweet and apologised about a big 15 top she had that she tried to close. her service was still very attentive and she was very friendly. excellent service, we were on the terrace.

Food was good. Menu is interesting. Terrible service. We were there an hour, 2 feet away from 4 employees that were talking. It wasn't busy. We were never asked if we wanted more drinks, refills on waters...Nothing. We had to interrupt the conversation to order and again to get the check. However, if looking for delicious tacos...mission accomplished!

Wonderful atmosphere and great service from the waitress/waiter. I was disappointed in the food. The tacos were cold, greasy and wet (not in a good way), and I didn't like the corn. I was unaware that they charged for lemonade refill. Overly priced for subpar food. 2 stars bc staff was nice and very chilled atmosphere.
