What can I say about Mi Cocina Mi Pais. Lets just say looks can be deceiving. For one thing they built a taco bell right in front of this place. I find myself sitting in the restaurant looking at taco bell and wondering why someone would eat there when they could get a nice home cooked meal 20 feet away! Looking at the first photo on yelp of the location you can tell that this is a typical mom and pop strip mall restaurant.\n\nLiterally though it is a mom and pop place. The son was the waiter the mom was the cook and the dad helps out when he can come in from his other job. The service is kind of slow because of this but look past it your about to get a fresh home cooked meal! The inside has wooden tables and chairs and kind of reminds me of a deli. \n\nThe food. Well to start out we got two drinks I got one which can only be compared to horchata and she got the Inca soda which tasted like bubble gum so cool! They bring you the best tasting salsa and chips I have ever had a at a South American Restaurant. Our appetizer was a South American Potato Salad. The presentations was awesome on the salad it had three olives some egg and a sauce that had me scraping it off of the dish after we had ate all the potatoes. It was slightly spicy but very light surprisingly and very comforting. \n\nFor dinner we had the combo plate. It had rice, eggs, beans,steak, avocado ,sausage, pork rind, fried plantains, potato cake,flour cake, and a tomato pepper mixture sauce. OMG the combination was perfect for two of us to share. The beans reminded me of back home when my buddy's dad used to make them on their farm. I could be in heaven eating just the beans and rice. The steak was very tender and flavorful. My palate was left very satisfied. \n\nFor Authentic South American Food go here. If you want to try something new go here. If you want good ol comfort food go here.
