Sweet, I love Mi Cocina.  And I can walk there from my house!

I'm hoping they expand the outdoor seating.  There is no need for the curb cut on 15th with parallel parking already available in the outside lane.  They could double their outdoor seating (and make it easier for people walking down the sidewalk) by filling that in.  

There are rules about sidewalk seating and alcohol service in Oklahoma...wah wah waaaaaaaaah

Looks like it's true. :) "New Locations" at the top left corner. http://www.mcrowd.com/micocina.html

Not sure anyone knows how excited my wife and I are for this!  Another peice of Dallas coming to our neighborhood.  We lived in Dallas for three years.  Two of our favorite places were Genghis Grill and Mi Cocina.  Since we moved to Cherry Street, Genghis has opened up and now Mi Cocina.  Very excited.

By the way, Mi Cocinas in Dallas were always quite large and very fancy.  They had a smaller chain called "Taco Diner" that would seem to be what they would use in a smaller space like the Camille's spot.  Wonder if it will be a full Mi Cocina or a smaller Taco Diner.

The shop next door is also closed.  Maybe they'll expand?

Good news for T Town.  Way too many lame Tex Mex places here in Dallas and Tulsa.  Mi Cocinas is a cut above the rest.  Wife and I make it into their Highland Park Village about once a week and really like it.  Give it a shot, you won't be disappointed, although it is a bit pricier than say, a Chilis, you'll see some really interesting things on the menu.  Each store has it's own atmosphere so I'll be interested to see what the Tulsa location ends up looking like.

I've been the ones in Uptown Dallas and downtown Fort Worth.  Both have great outdoor patios.  I'm hoping the one on Cherry Street does too.

I wonder if Beautiful Brands has any part in this?  They originally said they wanted another BB franchise at this location after Camille's closed.  I still would like to see a Greenz (a BB franchise) somewhere in Tulsa.  I went to one in Dallas and it was great.

I did see where a similar OKC-based company has Tulsa listed as one of their "additional locations under development"..

my wife and i stayed in frisco, tx this weekend and tried to go to the mi cocina on legacy in plano.  it was about 8:30p, so we didn't think it would be too long of a wait, even though it was a saturday night.  we were definitely wrong about that.  it was still an hour wait.  we thought about waiting, but we were too hungry by that point.  we ended up going across the street to a seafood restaurant that had no wait (which was pretty good).  i am more intrigued about mi cocina now.  i wish we could have tried it.  we will prepare better next time.
There is an ancient Celtic axiom that says 'Good people drink good beer.' Which is true, then as now. Just look around you in any public barroom and you will quickly see: bad people drink bad beer. Think about it. - Hunter S. Thompson
