Nestled in the quiet Art District of San Jose, Mi Cocina is located inside of Casa Natalia, a boutique hotel just off of the main square in San Jose. The moment you walk into the restaurant you will be mesmerized by the vibrant courtyard that surrounds the dining area. Chef Loic offers European dishes fused with locally sourced San Jose flavors like fresh basil and market fresh fish.
The service and presentation of every dish and martini are every bit as reminiscent as that of a 5 Star resort. At night, the secluded and intimate location of the restaurant result in a charming dining experience perfect for couples on a romantic getaway. During lunch, Mi Cocina offers a relaxing reprieve from a morning spent about town shopping and visiting galleries.
Among the InMexico Magazine favorites are:
The Spicy Mango Martini- The Jalapeno infused vodka and mango puree offer the perfect pairing of sweet and spicy.
The Smoked Tuna starter, a very rich dip with a slight zing of Chipotle Chile Mayo.
The Won-Ton Ravioli is so fresh you have to taste it to believe it. The cherry tomatoes and fresh herbs offer bursts of flavor that bring the whole dish to life.
The Chocolate Chicken is such a uniquely delicious dish, it is worth a trip to San Jose all by itself.
The Key Lime Pie- Freshly made and full of zest this Key Lime pie will have you insisting on your own slice instead of sharing one.
Mezcalina Martini- Finish the night off with this smoky martini made from Mezcal, the local liquor of choice, fresh lime and pineapple.
