Great place for a quick but interesting bite and margarita before heading to a show at the Queen or Grand.

My husband and I wanted to try something new for dinner so we came here. We won't be back. My first clue should have been the fact that the restaurant was empty. Never a good sign. The service was wonderful, no complaints there. But the food was just ok. Not great and not horrible. The ceviche looked and tasted like it was made in large batches days before serving. We both got fajitas and they were flavorless. Cooked fine but completely bland. The blood orange margaritas were delicious but at $12/glass, that's a little too pricey for my liking. We will stick our local Mexican restaurant in Hockessin.

Cocina Lolo is going to be my new go-to before shows at The Queen. The menu has something for every taste, budget, and appetite, and the wine list is unusual and fairly priced. I had the short rib tacos (so good) and my friend had the chicken tacos which she enjoyed. The chips, salsa and guacamole were also very good, although a bit on the salty side. We were there on a Friday night before a show and were surprised that there weren’t more people eating, although the after work crowd had the bartender busy. I have dined at all of Bryan Sikora’s area restaurants and while they are all pretty good, this one just hit the spot for me.

The food was a bit disappointing and fairly expensive for the portion sizes. A pitcher of Sangria was $32. We had 4 glasses and there was a lot of ice.

Have tried this restaurant before it closed and re-opened. My opinion hasn’t changed. There are better Mexican restaurants in Wilmington. Won’t go back. Good blood orange margarita.

Food and drink were outstanding. We wish we ordered a smaller appetizer than the chorizo fundido, which was delicious, so we had more room for our dinner. I had the Cocoa Lager Braised short rib Enchiladas while my wife had the Braised Chicken Enchilada. Both were fabulous. We wish we had a refrigerator in our hotel room so we could have brought the leftovers home for lunch the next day. I wish I had another reason to visit Wilmington soon so we could eat here again.

We always enjoy Cocino Lolo but we really had to hand it to the staff, which was for reasons unknown short one staffer, at least. And on a busy Saturday night. We fortunately had made reservations via Open Table and were seated promptly, but it was easy to see there was one bartender, one server and one busser. I remarked on this to the bartender, who ended up waiting on our table and others, and he confirmed they had three on the floor and two cooks. But everyone kept their cool and their sense of humor, and any drop-off in service was negligible. Appetizers were excellent - get the tuna dice! - as was dinner. I had the braised chicken enchilada but our server said it was originally served with chile verde instead of red mole, so I went for the green. Delicious. I'll get the mole next time. So many good dishes here. A go-to restaurant for us.

Excellent meal! We started with the chips, salsa and guac---very delicious. Then the 3 of us shared 3 entrees. All were delicious, but my personal fave was the mushroom tacos...wow!
