la cocina - what's the secret word??

They ever, respond?

Hard to imaginethat they wouldn't care enough, to respond! Personally, I won't go anywhere else for Mexican food, but, to Fajitas in Mirimar!Cecilia, Geronimo and the GREAT food, are FANTASTIC!

I recently sent an e-mail to the owners of La Cocina giving them notice of the terrible treatment we received. I promised that I would give them another opportunity.

We had a mediocre meal. Not worth the going again.

I hate to see a local restaurant fail, but this one will soon be gone.

Has the food gotten any better than when it first opened?

thanks mucho for the suggestion. we tried fajita's and LOVED it!! not as convenient, but MUCH better in terms of food and service. not to mention prices.

We decided to go to La Cocina on Friday night. It was packed. Hector waited on us and the food and service were great. The fajita's and enchilada's were wonderful. The two of us sat in a booth with no problem. We believe the quality of the beef is the best of any of the mexican places around. Am glad we gave it a second chance. Last fall we really didn't care for it. Recommend that all give it a chance.

See I absolutely adore La cocina's
Yes there have been bumps in the road when I have visited, but in all honesty there has been at every single restaurant I have visited on 30-A.
I have followed many threads on this web site and it just seems that some people have it out for George and Ann. (I am not saying this is the case with you since you have stated you do not know them)

It sucks that you didn't get a booth. What should have happened is you should have spoken to a manager then and this could have been avoided.


See, what happens so often is that someone has a bad experience but wont say anything to management while there then spread it all over when they leave.
Honestly how can the problem be fixed if you say nothing to the parties that can fix it?
Next time you see a booth and you dont get it ask to speak to a manager, where ever you go. They are in the people pleasing business, they work for you. What they cant do,
is fix it after you have left.

Now mind you, I am not saying this is your fault by any means. So before anyone here goes getting there panties in a bunch just calm down.
It just seems that all to often people make this mistake.

So before anyone here goes getting there (sic) panties in a bunch just calm down. where on earth are you coming from? we love both george's and seagrove village market, so obviously do not "have it out for george and ann", whatever that means. if i remember correctly, the young lady who refused to seat us at a booth made the point that she had been directed by management (so, i assume, her manager) not to seat groups of 2 at booths. she said she was "not allowed". so why on earth would we escalate to a manager? it was presented to us as POLICY. we simply assume that la cocina is run a bit differently than either george's or svm, and have found another place to assuage our mexican cravings.

So, unfortunately it seems you didn't read my whole post.
While I did say that "some people" on here have it out for George and Ann
I also said that this was not intended for you as you said in your
first post that you did not know them.
So with that being said, I apologize that you misread my post or didn't
read all of it.
Now as far as it being a management POLICY that you not be sat at the booth, had you stated that in your first post then I wouldn't have said anything. However I would be pretty sure that if you had asked to speak to a manager they would have broken the rules.
But never the less all is well as you have found an alternative for your Mexican outlet.
