I have been eating at Cosina Real for many years and like any restaurant they occasional fall short. However, the flavor is excellent. The portions are huge. The best dish IMO is the Molcajete, but with chipotle peppers cooked in it. It is enough to feed 3 adults. Their shrimp is delicious and good sized. Pollo poblano, Guiso Mexicano, and Speedy Gonzalez are all delicious. I have rarely if ever, since it opened, eaten anything here that wasn't good. And I have been eating here almost weekly since then.

Are there better flavor Mexican restaurants? Sure. Go to Houston and pay twice as much and it is a class above for sure, but for the price a class of Mexican restaurant it is, it is hard to beat.

If you don't mind a little heat, and want the best molcajete, tell them to cook it like Shane gets.

So blaaaaand. Everything is so dry and bland. I've ate here multiple times and every meat you order is incredibly dry and tasteless. The sides however are extremely salty and their tea always tastes fermented. Awful place.

I've been here twice now. The first time, I gave it the benefit of the doubt. After the second time I see that this is an awful place. It seems clean, but that's about where the positives end. The staff is very rude and inattentive. We had to flag down a waiter that was standing right next to our table watching the TV mounted on the wall. The food is even worse. I had the carnitas on my first visit. I've had carnitas at dozens of resteraunts, and never before have I found a rendition that was so bland and overcooked. Carnitas is roast pork, for those who don't know, and it's usually well seasoned and very tender. This was not seasoned at all and so tough that it was hard to chew. On my second visit, I ordered the chimichanga. This is another favorite of mine, and again I've had it in a lot of places from Florida to New York. This was the smallest chimichanga that I've ever seen. It looked like they took a frozen burrito from the grocery store and fried it. It didn't taste any better, either. It was filled with chopped steak and nothing else. The steak was bland, dry, and I'm confident that it was boiled instead of grilled or roasted. My girlfriend got the fajitas both times, two different versions. Both of those dishes would have been okay if they had not been overcooked, dry, and so covered in salt that you couldn't taste anything else. I've never been to a Mexican restaurant that I wouldn't be willing to return to, until now.
