COCINART: NEW RESTAURANT

Just returned from lunch at Cocinart. Happily, they now serve the "specials" at lunchtime as well as dinner. My spouse had the Greek Chicken; I had the Shrimp Provencal. I was served 8 or 9 large shrimp in a delicious sauce with salad and couscous. He was very pleased with the tender chicken. Bill, including tea and bottled water was 230 pesos. That would normally be a dinner dish, but our large meal is lunch. It would be plenty for dinner.

The flavors are outstanding; the food is a triple yum award.
My only complaint is that there could be more of comfortable seating, but they seem to be making improvements as they can.
Located on 16 de Septiembre #4D near the corner where you turn to go to the Ajijic malecon parking area. South side of the street. I suggest reservations. 331 395 3810.

We went there last night for dinner. Very good and reasonably priced. Definitely worth a try.

I ate there today. Good food, nice presentation and reasonable prices.

I highly recommend the place.

Four of us ate there on the same night as Bob. I had salmon, the others had shrimp, the meals were all prepared and presented perfectly, the service was great, wine was reasonably priced. Our group gave it 4 thumbs up.

I though the Piano Rojo's entrance was on Colon. So I entered there and sat down and realized too late that Cocinart is in the back. So it has an entrance from 16th de Septiembre also?

The main entrance is on 16 de Septiembre. The chalkboard menu is usually right there.

Ditto on praise for the food. Triple yum award.
