La Cocina: You’ve come home from a long day’s work and all you want is a strong margarita to erase your boss’ face from your memory. Take advantage of La Cocina’s daily 2-for-1 margarita special and you’ll forget where you work long before sundown. The restaurant chain serves up oversized mixed drinks worth their price to add punch to its otherwise standard Mexican menu. The dining room is adorned with a shrine of Frida Kahlo paintings, though sports fans stay glued to the flat-screen television above the bar and wonder who that chick with the unibrow is. During summer months, nab a coveted outdoor table to knock back those ’ritas and nosh on a complimentary basket of chips and salsa. La Cocina is no Tex-Mex miracle, but for 2-for-1 margaritas, who the hell cares? |
