Reviews for Cocina de Barrio - Point Loma in San Diego, CA

Great food and great service. The Arroz con leche pancakes were amazing. ???????? The pork ribs in green salsa with hand made... corn tortillas were????.com (Sauteed nopales with rice/black beans shaped like a pyramid ???? and the corn tamal pairs up wellwith the whole dish) Green chilaquiles were on point! Coming back for the margaritas with paletas next time for sure! ? Enjoythis hidden jem in point loma. ???? Read more

Sounded great when I saw the reviews and read the menu. But was somewhat disappointed. The presentation of the food was really... nice. But it ended there. The drink was medicinal. The mole was not great. The rice was bland. And the handmade tortillas wererubbery. Atmosphere was okay and tended toward "instragrammable" decor. And they were only serving a limited menu of brunch andwouldn't take any special orders from their regular menu. Not happy as the regular menu had more interesting and Vegan options. Read more

The food was good and the servers were attentive and helpful. But, the atmosphere wasn?t the most enticing. The vibe at the... Hillcrest one is much better, but they may be working out kinks at this one. The green ceviche was really tasty, and I lovedthe churros. I had a popsicle margarita which was beautiful. We sat outside, and there is some ?messiness? expected with beingoutdoors. But, it still felt a little grimy and unkept. I was distracted by some press-on nails that the previous guest hadpeeled off and left next to the table. Read more

My first experience with this restaurant was for dinner at the Hillcrest location, I realized I wasn't very impressed for some... reason but really glad that I gave them a try again this time in Point Loma for brunch. LOVED their selection and happy that ourdog was able to join us in the outdoor patio, just beware of long wait times on weekends (an hour for 2 of us) but so worth itfor great service and food and will definitely be back. Plenty of parking and a variety of bottomless mimosas are available,highly recommended 100% Read more

We were not very impressed with this place. On the bright side the place looks nice and some flavors are on point. On the dark... side, it is pretty noisy, service was slow, way overpriced and my chicken mole was super dry. When I asked for more sauce tocompensate the dryness of the meat I was told that it would come at extra cost ????just silly And the drinks were just so so for$15 each Read more

We went on Sunday afternoon and were surprised to find out they only had the brunch menu available. Our waiter informed us... they're the only location that does this. Everything that we ordered was very tasty and we'll be returning to try their othermenu. The only negative and it has nothing to do with the food...the patrons next to us were extremely loud and drunk. Theymight have had an offer of endless Mimosas or something because they drank and drank and drank some more. Read more

We started with having 30 minute wait time and that ended up being an hour and 20 minutes because the kitchen was backed up. The... food was worth the wait because it was so delicious and fresh tasting. The Churro French toast tasted so good but was supersweet. The salmon hash was the perfect savory dish. We also got bottomless mimosas and tried all the different flavors. I sortwish they brought juice and the bottle to the table so we didn?t have to wait on our waitress to come back. Everything wasdelicious. This is an awesome breakfast place! Read more

The menu at first glance seems a bit daunting. Michelle (our server) was amazing, she explained the menu, AND she not only... checked menu items regarding various food allergies (with a huge smile in her voice and banter) when she placed out orders shetook the time to type in the food allergy for each order. The food was WONDERFUL lots of Gluten Free, Dairy Free, and PlantBased choices. With the FANTASTIC service and tasty food we'll be sure to visit again when in San Diego. Read more
