Great setup. Love the separate bar atmosphere. However, the dining area was well decorated, nicely lit and clean. The food was above average! But those fried avocados were amazing! Good experience. Could have been a 5 star experience but the beer draft machine was down and I had to take a bottle. Hopefully they resolve this glitch before my next visit
This was wonderful! Tex-mex is theoretically easy to nail but realistically hard to nail because it’s difficult to not drown everything in cheese and rice and beans. Everything I ordered had it’s own flavor profile. The brisket tacos had the meat shine through, the southern comfort tacos, the slaw shined through (it’s cilantro heavy which I couldn’t stomach bc I’m the part of the population where cilantro tastes like soap), and the queso was smooth and smoky. The tres leches was mid. It could do without the strawberry sauce and the churros were fire. My husband loved the dulce de leche sauce with it, I’m not big on milk tasting things. But it still was yummy. Living in Austin for a couple of years really allowed me to dissect Tex mex with a fine toothed comb, and let me tell you— this restaurant does not disappoint. And the service is exceptional.
First of all, one of the best Mexican restaurants I've been to so far and I mean just everything all around being amazing and spot on. I've traveled alot. Food, service and Atmosphere was perfect. Great decor, simple but elegant, great spacing between tables ( you don't feel to close to other guests). Obviously great location to lol. COMPLIMENTS TO THE CHEF PLEASE! FOOD WAS SO GOOD. MARCELA YOU WERE AWESOME! WILL DEFINITELY COME BACK. Thank you guys so much !
This place was good. It has been highly rated as having one of the best happy hours in Orlando, and while it was good, it did not wow me.
Food was fresh, timely, and delicious. Drinks however took over 20 minutes for a single drink to arrive if you weren't seated at the bar. My waiter, John, did a good job of giving me a courtesy heads up. However 20 minutes for a simple lemonade cocktail, is way underwhelming. It wasn't even worth the wait.
Happy hour selection is okay, and very reasonably priced. I do wish the selection would be larger, but that's a personal preference.
Decor of the restaurant is beautiful. They take great care in keeping this place clean. It was a very enjoyable ambiance.
I would recommend this place to visit. However don't expect your drinks to arrive on the dot. Be a patient patron.
The food was great, but our waiter wasn't into giving a good service. He just did the basics, and there was a lack of friendliness.
Margaritas were really good 👍
My husband and I had a great experience here. The staff here are very attentive and friendly. We received our food and beverages in a timely manner. The food was amazing! I had the carnitas tacos and my husband had the chicken quesadilla (chef’s kiss). The Queso with chorizo was also amazing!
Cocina214 has a great happy hour! Drinks are solid even though the drinks are pre made they are very well made drinks. Good on happy hour are really good as well and good portions. I’ve been here for dinner before but I don’t think it was that impressive as I can’t remember it. This is a really nice spot in winter park for a nice fast cheap happy hour if you are in the mood. Atmosphere inside and out on the patio are really nice as well and most importantly the service is too notch! As a side note it tends to be very cold so bring a sweater ladies :-)
I went here with my family for a birthday lunch on a Saturday and it was quick and easy seating! Even though I reserved seating, we didn't need it. I love the decor, our waitress was friendly and attentive, and the restroom was spacious and clean. The food was delicious, everyone enjoyed what they ordered - even the kids menu had a great selection. I would definitely return again and recommend this to friends and family to visit.
This is our favorite Mexican Restaurant in downtown Winter Park. The brunch is fantastic and Margaritas are really delicious. The service is always fantastic. Walking distance to all the shops. My Huevos Rancheros were sooo good and my husband’s breakfast burrito was delish. There is also a fun bar scene and on Cinco de Mayo it rocks🤩‼️
This restaurant is not a typical Mexican restaurant. If you're looking for an $8 burrito, or a plate of nachos after a concert this may not be your place. What it is though is a sophisticated- albeit grounded- Mexican restaurant in the heart of Winter Park. When I reference the term grounded I state that the food is not haute cuisine but rather standard Mexican Fair rendered with a touch of style.
We ordered the chicken sandwich and enchiladas. The food was well presented and tasted good. You will not find extras like rice and beans added to your meal unless you're willing to pay an additional charge. The same is true of chips and salsa- standard introductory table fair at any Mexican restaurant - but you again will be charged extra for these.
Is it a destination? That's hard for me to assess. If you're in Winter Park and you want some decent Mexican Cuisine, give them a try.

I had been meaning to stop by this place for years and so glad I finally did! It was better than I expected and the food is very good!
We were greated by the host and our server Caitlin. Both were nice, friendly, attentive.
Caitlin made us have a good experience and she was happy to make suggestions or answer any questions we had.
We went for dinner which aligned with happy hour. It was a win win since who does not like $5 margaritas? We had the Diablo Margarita and it was refreshing, delish and not very sweet! We also ordered the Cocina Trio, which is chips with sides of guacamole, queso blanco dip and fire roasted salsa.
Then we ordered their Mahi Tacos and the Chicken Enchiladas - we took Caitlin's suggestion and had them with the queso sauce (upcharge) and the green salsa on the side, delicious!
Everything from start to finish was great. Food is fresh, made with quality ingredients, prepared once requested, tasty, flavourful, well presented and good portions.
The restaurant is clean, gives a nice feeling, modern decor, spacious and it offers both outdoor and indoor seating.
We will definitely come back to give other menu items a try and brunch too!
Came here on a Sunday for brunch. They have $3 mimosas during brunch hours on weekends which is nice. I ate the brisket enchiladas and was really impressed, I love that they're topped with fresh veggies because it helps balance out the cheese and carbs. My friend loves the fajitas here but I haven't tried them. Overall I was surprised that the prices here are so good for Winter Park.
I got the Brisket Quesadillas, my cousins got the vegetarian tacos, and my other cousin Mamas chicken tamales! The service was very nice! I reccomend this restuarant for a birthday or celebrating a holiday.
Cocina 214 is absolutely excellent Mexican dining. The decor and ambience is "date night caliber" and the food is delicious. We've literally never had a dish there that we've been disappointed with. The service is awesome too! Highly recommend!
This is a very nice restaurant. I have only had drinks and appetizers in the bar area but we are going to come here for dinner soon. They have a great happy hour from 4 (I think) until 6:30. My wife and I split a plate of nachos w/ chorizo and they were great. I got the extra hot habanero sauce and they aren't kidding when they say it is hot. I am pretty lame at eating hot so your mileage may vary. Attentive and quick staff. The restaurant is very clean also.
I went to get lunch today at the bar and the bartender Raul was great, he was polite and very attentive with my food and drinks. I got the Guavarita and was delicious
Also the restaurant was good, tasty food.
I do recommend this place!
