Cocina de Mino
Cocina de Mino is a Mexican restaurant in Oklahoma City housed in a shopping plaza that occupies most of a former grocery store. It features two banquet rooms, a large kitchen, orange tables, colorful wall murals in yellow, orange, red, blue, and purple, and can accommodate up to 250 guests.
The restaurant was founded over 40 years ago and has remained a steadfast establishment in Oklahoma City. The owners relocated it to its current shopping plaza location in 2000, where it has since become the largest business in the plaza.
The name Cocina de Mino means Mino's Kitchen in Spanish, reflecting the family nature of the restaurant. The colorful wall murals depicting Spanish buildings and desert scenes create a lively setting, while Mexican music plays in the background as guests enjoy meals at orange tables.
The restaurant is open on weekdays from 11 in the morning until late evening, and on weekends until around 10 at night, providing ample time for lunch or dinner visits. Guests can dine in, order takeout, or arrange large catering orders for events, which can be picked up or delivered with ease.
The restaurant processes its own meats locally, a rarity among Mexican restaurants in the area that ensures food freshness and quality. Additionally, the owners operate a food trailer that regularly appears at different events and locations around the city and is promoted through social media.
