I was staying in the hotel directly next-door and decided to dine here for breakfast for a birthday celebration. I added my name to the waitlist, which I recommend doing because the few days I was staying at the hotel, I noticed they were busy... now I know why! The food is amazing, the service is fabulous, and entire atmosphere is a vibe! if I’m ever in the area again, I definitely will dine here again!!
The food is amazing and the value is beyond expectations. This was my first time and I am in town for 4 days and I will be eating here everyday I’m here. The agua frescas are amazing. The service is great. It is worth the wait.
Not a whole lot to choose from
Conchinita pibil!
The best chilaquiles ever, so crunchy anf flavorful. Their churros are amazing so good a must when in San Diego. Sorry also great friendly service
The El patrón was very delicious! I absolutely loved it with the fried veggies. The Jamaica Aguas frescas was also good. Great place even for a pescatarian like me. I'll definitely be coming back here at some point in the near future.
Good food! But the layout is very weird & kind of uncomfortable
The hype is real! Indeed the best chilaquiles in town! What makes them the best? The chips! Have you ever experienced soggy chips? You won’t be disappointed at Cocina 35 because it’s made in house and somehow they’ve found the secret recipe to keep it crunchy after drenching in the delicious sauce.The line gets really long. The trick is to put yourself on Open Table waitlist while you’re heading out. Check to see how many parties are ahead of you. Whether you need to add yourself when you’re on the way or when you park.Parking is all on the street by meters. The green curb are 30 minute limit. Otherwise it’s an hour limit. Or ACE across the street. There are free spots along Sixth Ave in front of the restaurant.We sat outdoor due to our dog. You order and pay inside. When you go inside, you’ll see the entire menu on display in the glass. The portions are huge!We ordered their best seller which was Los Rancheros chilaquiles and the sampler, Tochomorocho.Los Rancheros is basically red sauce with chorizo and two eggs.Tochomorocho came with four items but it was missing beans on my plate. Didn’t realize it until I wrote this review. The sampler was a great way to get regular chilaquiles. It had no meat but a big slice of avocado in green salsa. Two eggs anyway you like it. I got scrambled and it came with diced tomatoes on top of corn tortilla. The last item was a corn tamale. That was my favorite.Both plates are ginormous. We finished the Los Rancheros because we didn’t want the tomato sauce to get the chips soggy if we waited. I ended up taking home the regular chilaquiles and by then it was soggy and needed to be in the air fryer.If you like their chips, they sell for $8.50. There’s mugs and t-shirts for merchandise as well as cookies and family combo and food trays.There’s a location in Otay Mesa but speaking to people in line, they all say Downtown is better. A new location will soon open in Liberty Station.Their hours are 8am-2pm M-F then 7am-3pm on Sat and Sun.
The food is delicious! Traditional Mexican cuisine. Tastes like eating at home! ❤️ and the servings are BIG! You can share!
