La Cocina 1 Lake Way Drive, Truth or Consequences, NM 87901

"If you're looking for authentic Mexican food, this isn't the place if you're looking for that. Texas Tex-Mex stuff then this is it. That's a cheese smothered in tasteless. Green sauce. Definitely doesn't have any kind of a kick if that's what you're looking for. If you're looking for some pretty cheap food to fill your belly, maybe check it out"

"We were sat down. Had our order taken right away. 10 minutes went by. Another family sat down and immediately got their drinks. I thought nothing of it since it was a full of people. Another 15 minutes went by. I watched the waitress ask other tables for refills. Another 10 minutes went by. A family of 7 sat down and immediately got their drinks. At this point I look around and notice we are the only ones inside who are not white. My wife and I are so embarrassed. And do not recommend this place. We were here once before and didn’t like the food and wanted to give it another shot. Big mistake. I served this country for 8 years just to be treated in such an outdated traditional way"

"This place has the best food I've eaten in Truth or Consequences! I went here with a friend for dinner. It was a Wednesday night and not very busy. We were seated right away. We were given chips and salsa to munch on. Our server was attentive but not overbearing. My friend got a burrito. I opted for the ultimate enchiladas. The portions were huge. We both ate plenty and brought home at least ⅓ of the food on our plates. The food was really tasty. My ultimate enchiladas plate included black beans and refried beans and really good rice. Unfortunately, we were too stuffed to eat dessert. I'm thinking of going back here for my birthday dinner. Why didn't I eat here sooner?"

"Service was excellent and friendly. Atmosphere was cozy, but not cramped. The temperature of the restaurant was pleasantly warm and not freezing. We were not rushed out. Just passing through: Food was excellent! Fresh. Green chili sauce had a bit of a kick, but excellent flavor! The tamale was well flavored and very large. The ground beef tacos had the perfect flavoring – not too plain and not too much. You could really get the flavor of the beef as well as the seasoning. We definitely gave our compliments to the kitchen!"

"This restaurant serves excellent Mexican food. We love there green chile. There burritos are the bomb. Always clean."
