About

Welcome to La Cocina de Caro! We are the Brenes family, a tight-knit team united in our dedication to serving delicious food and fostering a warm, welcoming atmosphere. With over 25 years of hard work under our belts and a steadfast faith in God guiding us, we embarked on the journey of opening our very own restaurant.

At the heart of our establishment lies a deep-rooted love for authentic Mexican food. Dad, Jorge Brenes, brings to the table a genuine passion for the art of cooking and a commitment to crafting dishes that tantalize the taste buds and nourish the soul. Meanwhile, our mom and the face of this restaurant, Caro Brenes, draws upon her extensive 20-year tenure in the restaurant industry to ensure that every aspect of our operation runs smoothly and efficiently.

Located in the charming town of Lillian, TX, La Cocina de Caro is more than just a place to grab a bite to eat—it’s a home away from home, where families and friends come together to share memorable moments over delectable meals. Each day, we pour our hearts and souls into creating delicious dishes that not only satisfy hunger but also spark feelings of comfort, joy, and satisfaction.

Join us at La Cocina de Caro, where every dish tells a story, and every visit is an experience to remember. We can’t wait to welcome you into our family!

From farm-fresh ingredients to sizzling sensations on your plate, we’re dedicated to bringing you the best of authentic Mexican cuisine!
