Welcome to La Cocina Restaurante Mexicano

Welcome to La Cocina Restaurante Mexicano. La Cocina is a family-run Mexican restaurant group with a location in Clayton, NC (764 Shotwell Road). The brand was started by a family from Guanajuato, Mexico, who brought their traditional home-style recipes to North Carolina. Their first U.S. restaurant opened in Mebane in 2000, and since then the group has expanded across the state.
