Cocina Michoacana

Went here for lunch on a Sunday. Entered to pleasant spanish music with great interiors, had to wait for about 15 minutes, but was pleasantly surprised to find fabulous salsa and chips waiting at the table.
Prompt and courteous service, great guac and salsa (a little spicy, but hey i like that), Fabulous (understatement) mole chicken! Just fabulous.
Will definitely visit again!

Finally Made it here after being recommended. Food was delicious forgot to take photos. Service was great. Must have fried ice cream yum. Can’t get over it. Literally melted on my mouth.

GREAT service, Food. chips, salsa, dips, Margaritas. everything!!! Chicken fajita wrap is bomb

Excellent restaurant. Excellent good and nice service. Great diner after a day of exploration at Yosemite.

I ate here for the first time today. I give 4 for the fish taco. One of the best I’ve had. Sautéed rather than breaded and fried. But… I will not order a chile relleno again. After asking several questions I decided to take a chance. It was VERY greasy and mostly batter. The sauce, however, tasted fine. I simply dug the pepper out of the batter and ate it. I will skip the iced tea next time as it is very strong.

We tried this place for takeout lunch today. My husband ordered a super chicken burrito with everything in it but no sauce. He ended up with a burrito that contained only chicken, beans and rice very bland. I ordered 2 ala carte hard shell carnitas tacos. I ended up with 2 soggy, greasy tacos that you could not pick up to eat, it consisted of tortillas that seemed to be dipped in oil and heated and the carnitas were in a gravy type red sauce. I called them to complain and was told that is how we do it. Lesson learned we will never go back there.

I ate here one night and I was very displeased. I’m not sure if they were having a bad night but my wife and I both were not happy with our meal. It was so bad I don’t even want to give them a second chance which I usually do.

Awesome place to go. Great food even better service. Outside seating was so fun and the kids can be loud and we can all laugh and have a good time. Ladies kept the chips and salsa coming and made us feel like family. Good job

I ordered a burrito supreme with carnitas, and it was horrible! The tortilla was cold, the carnitas were bland, and the red sauce around the burrito was disgusting! To top it off, it took about 30 minutes to get our Food. The wait was not worth it. The best part of my experience here was the soda and salsa&chips! I will not be back!

Very good food (especially the breakfast menu) and excellent service!

I had never ate here before so we gave it a shot during my brothers soccer fundraiser well let me tell you something from the begin Gracie was amazing in setting everything up for the fundraiser, all her staff was awesome and super nice, kassie was our waitress and she’s awesome i had the garlic shrimp OMG best shrimp I’ve had at a Mexican restaurant the flavor was so on point, my husband had the carne asada fajita salad and he loved it, we are defiantly coming back thanks Cocina Michoacana

Good selection of Mexican beer and awesome, authentic Mexican food.
If you are in the mood for Mexican don’t go to one of the chains next door. Go here and enjoy nice service, quick food delivery and a good time.
Seating available inside (a/​c) and outside (umbrellas).
On top quite cheap for the quality/​amount of food.

Love this spot after hiking and climbing in Yosemite or to power up on the way there. The fajitas were delicious.

Was told to try this place an acquaintance. He was right on the money! Good food, good service. Hubby’s burrito was spicy like he wanted. Grilled Fish tacos were very very tasty. Will definitely stop again on our way to or from Sonora

I always call in my order while driving home from work in Modesto to Oakdale. They are super friendly, and always have my order right. The shredded chicken is so good! Best green sauce ever. love love this little Mexican gem. I highly recommend this place. Cute, cozy, great customer service, and killer food.

Omg! On our way back home, to San Francisco we stopped here to eat dinner we were starving, and we order the molcajete!!! Omg it was so delicious that we couldn’t stop eating, such a unique Mexican seasoning and spicy just the way Mexican food is suppose to be! Cocina michoacana you guys rock!

Hubby has been here more than once; was my first time… Delicious!
For breakfast, lunch, or dinner: I ate lunch – pork taco and chicken taquito – while my hubby ate chorizo and egg breakfast. We shared guacamole and salsa and chips. Yum! :-)
They catered to and were concerned to help me with my Gluten Free and dairy intolerance. ;-)

Yet another great meal. I have never been disappointed here. #16 is my all time favorite.

Are you looking for a good, cheap, authentic Mexican restaurant? Where the food is big and tasty, the décor is sparse, Telemundo is on the TV, and most patrons are speaking Spanish? Well, this isn’t it.
Not to say it’s bad. It’s, well, okay. It could be that I’ve had many of the greats in San Francisco, Oakland, and Concord. Still, there are many Mexicans in the Central Valley, and they know what’s good and how to cook it. My guess is that Cocina Michoacana Americanized their food for all the cowboys in town and people speeding down ¹⁰⁸⁄₁₂₀ from the Bay Area to the Sierras. It appears to work; my hunny and I ate there, and the crowd looked like a good size for a Tuesday afternoon — and we were all white now.
We both had the sampler: taquitos, quesadillas, salad, and bean dip. She got full. The food was good, but a little on the bland side. Price was reasonable compared to restaurants in general, but a little high for a Mexican place. But then, this is not exactly an authentic Mexican place. Sure is better than the golden arches, though.
Bottom line: it’s okay, but if you pass it up by mistake, then you haven’t missed a lot.
