My boyfriend and I went out to eat recently at this restaurant. What is there to say about this restaurant? It has some of the best mexican food we've ever had. Check out the pictures! La Cocina Economica reminded my boyfriend of his nana's cooking and let me tell you. That's a huge compliment! As for me? La Cocina Economica's food amazed me! The mexican food at this restaurant reminded me of something I love about living in Arizona. Arizona being so close to the border. We get people from all around the world coming to visit or stay in Arizona. They bring their way of life, culture, and so much more! They also bring their food! I think the mexican food at this place is amazing and you all should check this place out. The sure variety of food they have on their menu is amazing too! I got to try cactus for the very first time in my life and let me tell you something. It was absolutely delicious! My boyfriend and I also really loved the amount of food we got.
