THIS PLACE IS LEGIT AUTHENTIC MEXICAN FOOD AND ITS AMAZING. Do your life a favor and come eat here…read moreif you haven't already. I was blown away by the depth of flavors being served here. Located right off Main Street you will find their resteraunt and when I went for lunch on a weekday, this place was PACKED. I had to wait about 10 min for a table to clear up but the food was worth the wait. We ordered the gorditas and the mole enchiladas and both dishes were a 10/10. Everything was so flavorful , portions were good and worth every penny spent. Overall we were beyond pleased with our lunch. We will defenitly be back! This place is awesome and can't reccoemnd them enough if your looking for some good Mexican food. Thank you El Capricho for the great lunch, see you guys very soon again. Till next time.

We stopped by for lunch based on their rating, should have read the reviews. Service was fine,…read morenothing stood out, our waitress seemed kind. The vibe was on the quieter side. We tried their ceviche...not good. Had absolutely no flavor even with adding salt and salsa at the table. The only good thing was their salsa and chips. I wouldn't go back. Will keep Rabalais as my go to in Santa Paula.

Warning! This is Not a five star restaurant. I asked the waitress when we walked in if the food…read morewas good, her reply, they say it is Lol. We arrived at 5:00 on a Friday evening, No one was there, that was our first clue the place wasn't what it was rated for. To the food, absolutely the worst Mexican food I've Ever had, the service was even worse.. Our server sat behind the counter on her phone... I'm pretty sure, the owners gave the place 5 stars, because no one in there right mind would consider this, okay food. I hate giving bad reviews but it would of been happier throwing my money out the car window.

Service was terrible. The young woman in the front couldn't be bothered. Not very friendly to me…read moreand although they closed at 2 and it was noon, she told me they were closing soon. I had to order quickly. No salsa given I had to return to restaurant to get some. I guess she doesn't like working weekends. Food was good but I couldn't enjoy it being rushed

Everything about Chapala is something to celebrate! The food is amazing and there's always a…read moregenerous selection of dishes to choose from. I particularly like their albondigas soup, which is much more than an appetizer, it's a meal in and of itself. When they bring it to your table, it's always accompanied by a full plate of garnishes you can add to your soup. Onions, cilantro, radishes, tomatoes, chilis and wedges of lemon. I add everything to my bowl of savory tomato broth that also has big chunks of carrots and potatoes. Obviously, the meatballs are the star in this meal! They are big and full of flavor, tender, with just a little kiss of spice. We drive to Santa Paula just to get this soup, and it never disappoints! I'll let everyone else talk about their molcajete and the most delicious fajitas, but the soup is where it's at, for me. Try Chapala, you will NOT regret it, no matter what dish you choose!

Came by on a Sunday morning. There was plenty of seating…read more Had the red and green chilaquiles with beans and potatoes -coffee. The chilaquiles were good, especially the green. Would recommend that the beans and potatoes be at the same temperature of the chilaquiles, on the warmer side. They were barely lukewarm. Couldn't eat them. The coffee wasn't hot enough either. Friendly, attentive service.

THEY WERE SO GOOD. If you haven't been here yet, do your like a favor and come eat here, you will not regret it. Called in my order of 5 corn taquitos/burritos around noon and the the lovely gentlemen let me know my order would be ready in 5 to 10 minutes. As I walked in he was backing up my order, talk about fast and friendly service here. Got a side order of guacamole for my order and it was a very inexpensive lunch. The corn burritos/taquitos were popping hot and came topppd with a ton of cheese. I poured the red salsa it came with over the cheese and I got the final product of salsa and cheese covered burritos/taquitos. 10/10, highly reccomend. These things were amazing. Overall come support this local buisness. Great food, great service, what is not to like here. Thank you El Preferido for the great lunch, I will be back very soon.

I tried their Mexican Pizza and it was SO GOOD! Our server was the sweetest lady, a beautiful smile, so welcoming, and answered all my questions with patience and grace. If you've read any of my other reviews you know I usually have questions. Lol. Wait time for my order was just right. I even tried the fried ice cream and yes it was delish! The price point is fair. The ambiance/furniture is a little dated but CLEAN! I honestly wish I'd tried this place sooner, but yes, I'll be back!

So I knew of Cocina but wasn't able to come until recently. I had ordered for pickup prior to…read moresitting to try it. I like how they created their own app to make it easier for pickup. Prior to coming in I had tried their beans tacos dorados (tres taquitos) and their chilaquiles. Tacos were okay. I felt like there wasn't that many beans inside. Chilaquiles were delicious. I live close but by the time they got to me, the tortilla was not as crunchy anymore. Still enjoyed them. When I went in, got the chilaquiles again since I wanted to eat them fresh. Even better. Loved the sauce and how crunchy they were. I did get the red ones. They are a bit spicy for those who don't like spice. I have really liked that they use black beans instead of pinto beans. Their red rice has always been nice an fluffy. Another time I went I tried their quesobirria shrimp tacos. They are tied for my all time favorite spicy shrimp tacos. They were so good. The chipotle sauce you do to add to it was delicious. Overall, I love Cocina 1912. Love that it's so close to me and how delicious the food is. I have definitely started to bring people already to try it and will continue to do so.

Shoutout to yelp elite Raquel for bringing me here. We'd been eyeing this restaurant for a while…read moreand we finally came in for lunch and had a wonderful experience from start to finish. Cocina 1912 is located in downtown Santa Paula and was easy to find. Large signage outside and plenty of 2-hour parking out front and across the street. This restaurant is surprisingly large. Not only do they have the regular dining area but they also have an attached second room for dining and a larger event space. This space can be rented out for markets, parties - you name it. Would make a great music space too. Another standout here is the staff and the hospitality. The young gal working behind the counter was super nice and welcoming. She helped us with the menu and on deciding what to order. What I also love is even though it's an "order at the counter place", the staff were attentive to come over to our take multiple times to check on us. Talk about A+ service and care. This alone would keep me coming back. Thankfully, the food is equally as good and tasty! We started with a Jamaica drink which was refreshing and hit the spot. For our mains I ordered the Al pastor tacos and my friend went with the shrimp tacos that were made queso birria style. Lastly, I ordered a side of rice and means. Everything was tasty and satisfying! The tortillas are freshly made each day and you could really taste it. The Al pastor and sides were about a 4/5. Not the best I've had but totally satisfied my craving and I'd get them again. The real star of the show was the shrimp tacos! My friend let me try some and I was blown away by the freshness of the shrimp and thought it was a delicious dish. Very spicy though so I know I can't hang lol. Regardless though I loved them, so if you can handle spice and love a good shrimp taco, you absolutely must get these. Such a solid experience here and a fun time with my friend. We'll definitely be back!
