Cocula Mexican Grill

Some of Cocula's reviews are pretty funny ... and extremely petty. One complained they didn't get an extra condiment. Another complained the food was sloppy to eat. I wonder if they complain about Sloppy Joes, also? Let's face it: Mexican food is the same no matter where you go. The only difference is the quality and the quality of service. If you are going to be thrown by such simple issues, it's probably better to avoid eating out altogether. This little Mexican restaurant was actually a pleasant surprise! I would rate it alongside some of the better Mexican restaurants that are in Texas. It's family-owned, and the service is very attentive and personal. It absolutely is worth visiting! If I ever get by this restaurant again, I will go out of my way to stop here once more.

I ordered a shrimp quesadilla, the shrimp inside was cooked perfectly. My only complaint is that it was super messy to eat. The quesadilla tortilla was soggy & covered in the queso cheese and other sauces. I had to use a fork to pick out the shrimp since the tortilla was floppy and wet. The food was made quickly, I got it as carry out. Not sure I would order this again if I did come back.

This is honestly one of the best, authentic, Latin-food spots in between Asheville and Spartanburg. Extremely happy that this is in my town of Tryon. It has been an excellent reprieve on nights my wife and I don't feel like cooking. I've never been disappointed since I've started going here. While nothing implicitly presents a family-friendly atmosphere, this resturant exudes that familiarity. The staff is smaller but definitely reliable. Please give this place a shot, I regret not going here sooner.
