Nuestra Cocina


name
Nuestra Cocina

website
http://www.nuestra-cocina.com

cuisine
upscale mexican (yes i realize this is an oxymoron)

quadrant
SE

where exactly
2135 SE Division St

what's unique
specialty margaritas are served in wine glasses but oh so delicious


what to order
anything with the red mole sauce - spicy and flavorful; for dessert, definitely order the chocolate pound cake with cinnamon ice cream

fun fact
restaurant is designed to have an open kitchen - you can eat at the counter overlooking the kitchen, which i definitely recommend for a fun experience

my short and sweet opinion
great upscale mexican cuisine, which can be hard to find; great atmosphere

pros
menu, nightly specials, margaritas, open kitchen, dessert

cons
they provide complimentary, small, handmade corn tortillas with salsa - very good but they don't give you enough tortillas
