Recently opened in Fall 2009, Cosina Grill brings Mexican to the outskirts of Andersonville. Located on Foster, west of Ashland, this little Mexican joint brings home cooking to sylish ambience of exposed brick and soft lighting.

Start out with the "House Chips and Salsa" which features a traditional red salsa, a green salsa, which are both quite good. Entrees are served with salad or soup. The salad is nothing special; it pretty much looks like it comes right out of a bag, BUT the tortilla soup is worth a try.

Entrees range from 10-25 respectively. If you are into seafood, this may be your next stopping point. The menu features several fish/shrimp dishes. (Please comment if you have tried a fish dish, as I don't eat fish, so I can't make a good recommendation!!)

I tried the chicken tacos, which were served traditional style: corn tortilla, chicken, onion and cilantro. If the dish featured wedges of lime to squeeze over my tacos, it would have been perfect.

Cosina Grill is a BYOB with a $2 per person corkage fee.
