Why Travelers Love La Cocina
Sourced from recent guest feedback and verified reviews.
A beautiful and delicious restaurant inside Lush in San Marcos. The staff are so lovely and kind. They go above and beyond to give you such a wonderful meal and stay. The food is all beyond incredible, locally sourced and very nutritious! The matchas and avocado toast were my favourites! Always love being at La Cocina at Lush. Hands down best Matcha and Cacao in San Marcos. My favorite plates: The fluffy gluten free vegan pancakes, and Tiox Bowl for breakfast - a new take on the Guatemalan tipico. Daytime refreshment with the wild caught Sea Bass Ceviche or Buddha Bowl (I like to add two poached eggs to it). For dinner my favorite is the Homemade Mushroom Broth with ginger and rice noodles. Perfect for when it cools down at night. Yum!! One of the only places in town that only uses healthy oils for cooking and frying - no canola oil!! It’s always one of my marks when eating out. My favorite seating spot is in the garden surrounded by the serenity of the plants. La Cocina at Lush is my favourite place to eat when I come to San Marcos. The environment is spectacular - so many flowers and plants, and incredibly relaxing. The banana pancakes are a must at breakfast, all of the elixirs are amazing, and the cabbage Caesar salad is incredibly delicious! I’ve been coming for years and it never disappoints.

One of the best breakfasts I’ve eaten anywhere in the world, not just in San Marcos. They really are paying attention to every detail in the kitchen and its environs… flowers around the tables and upon the plates, hyper healthy drinks and meals so good to eat you might just shed a tear.
