Cocina De Mino Celebrates 30 Years, Joins Legendary Restaurants of Oklahoma

Cocina De Mino Celebrates 30 Years, Joins Legendary Restaurants of Oklahoma
In the Oklahoma City restaurant business, longevity is one of the keys to finding a truly legendary restaurant. Joining the stable of Legendary Restaurants of Oklahoma is Cocina De Mino. Tim Warner and his staff operate two locations on Oklahoma City's south side, and they have for 30 years.

The main location is at 59th and South Western and the second location is at 618 South Air Depot.

Warner says there are a number of factors which have made them popular throughout the years, but the reason customers keep coming back time after time is the quality of the food. Warner says everything is made fresh from scratch every day using recipes honed to perfection.

If there's any one dish that Warner can point to as being as nearly perfect as it can get, it would be the fajitas. He said it's his top seller year in and year out. As with everything else, he says quality is the key. While most restaurants use skirt steak to make fajitas, Warner says he starts with a better cut of meat that is more flavorful and tender and comes from near the top sirloin. He then marinades it for 48 hours before cooking. Where you need a knife and fork to cut fajitas at other restaurants, Warner says his fajitas are always fork-tender and tasty.

To put out a consistent product for three decades wouldn't have been possible, Warner says, without his staff. He has employees who have worked at Cocina De Mino nearly since its beginning. With a kitchen and wait staff that hasn't changed year after year, Warner says it's easy to keep customers happy. He said the relationship between waiters and customers is, truly, like family.

Another thing which sets Cocina De Mino apart is the décor. When you step through the door, you aren't stepping into a restaurant you're stepping into a Mexican village. Warner took advantage of massive wooden beams which support the restaurant's ceiling and designed the interior to match.

Cocina De Mino has a large banquet room at the main location which can serve 250 people. Another large part of Warner's business revolves around catering.

As a Legendary Restaurant of Oklahoma, Cocina De Mino is offering a limited number of half-price gift certificates. You can find them by clicking here.
