  I absolutely would recommend this restaurant to anyone! I frequently go to their lunch buffet where there is a great selection of authentic Mexican Cuisine.
  The atmosphere is relaxed and I feel at home listening to the music they have in the background--enjoying food that tastes like my grandmother made it!
  If you're in the Seattle area and want an affordable delicious meal --this is where you must go!
  
  Sin duda recomendaría este restaurante a cualquiera!  Con frecuencia voy a su almuerzo buffet donde hay una gran selección de auténtica cocina mexicana.
  El ambiente es relajado y me siento como en casa escuchando la música que tienen al fondo: ¡disfruta de la comida que sabe a mi abuela!
  Si está en  de Seattle y desea una deliciosa comida asequible, ¡aquí es donde debe ir!

  So, I've walked Broadway like a hundred plus times since living here. And I've seen La Cosina and Cantina usually packed, during the warmer month, with  people and their goblets of topical like drinks. Last night we were having a mini celebration for my SO's birthday.  
  
  I'm so happy we went and tried  La Cosina and Cantina, not only was it happy hour (8PM- close) but food is really great! They have a lot of cocktails for under $10, and a small section for happy hour food for $6.95. They also have weekly specials FYI. The menu is extensive, but I decided to go with the two item combination ($12.95) with a beef chimichanga and cheese quesadilla. It also come with rice and beans.
  My dish  came out smokin hot, with my chimichanga, the rice and beans and a nice section of melted cheese. My cheese quesadilla was under a pile of cheese while being stuffed with melty delicious cheese. It was amazing!! Served with a generous spoon full of guac, this meal was well worth it! The cheesy cheese quesadilla was worth it alone, I think.
  
  Also because we told our waiter that it was my SO's bday, by the end of the meal (which I fully stuffed and only ate the quesadilla while packing the rest home) we had received some very fun sombreros and a plate of deep fried ice cream! So unexpected and it really made the night.
  
  Thanks  La Cosina and Cantina!

  I gave three stars for the following reasons. Slow service, a bland food.   The atmosphere was nice and inviting. The prices were decent and the hostess was pleasant.  
  
  Although our server was nice she wasn't very attentive until we were almost finished with our meal.  The food portions were good but I had to add salsa sauce to give it some more flavor.
  
  I updated my rating from 3 to 4 stars because I did return back about a year later and tried the lunch buffet. It was yummy and filling and the chicken enchiladas were cooked to perfection.

  I ordered a burrito for a quick lunch, and was given all of the ingredients inside out besides the meat. When I want a burrito, I usually like all of the ingredients inside of the tortilla, not out. It felt like I was eating a wet burrito bowl. They put the lettuce on top of the burrito, which may be some sort of innovative burrito technique, but I sincerely doubt it for this restaurant. These guys obviously don't know what they are doing in terms of burritos. Won't be coming back.
  
  Plus the cash register lady is fairly standoffish.
