    The food here was good, we ordered the California burrito, the beef taco and rolled tacos special. The service was quick but I am removing one star because the food was not warm, even though they started making our food after we ordered. The meat was flavorful, and my rolled tacos were thick, cripsy and covered in sauce and guac. We also enjoyed their hot sauces, a spicy green sauce that was our favorite and a dark smokey sauce that did pair nicely with the beef taco.

    Large selection of foods.

    Loved this place, super authentic Mexican food. And I know authentic Mexican - I approve. The service was great and prices were good. The food was made quickly too. Overall great.

    Stopped in for a late night meal with my wife, got a free drink with our food order. This is your typical small Mexican place environment. The service was good and I liked their green hot sauce. The food may not have been as fresh as I would have liked (it was late after all) but it still tasted good. I would go here again. Another plus is they are not stingy on hot sauce as many places seem to have become. You get a whole bottle to use as you like! Will update this review later when we go back.

    The beans were so cold the cheese never melted on top.

    Lots of regulars in here loving this sweet little Mexican Food eatery. Tasting there food I can see why. I ordered their #2 Combo Plate: Cheese Enchilada & Chili Rellano with rice and beans. All very tasty. Came with a roasted pepper on top. Even the pepper was delicious. I'm not a fan of sweet sauces on savory items but the touch of sweetness in their Enchilada Sauce worked. My rice and beans were on the lukewarm side. Hence the lack of a fifth star for now. They kindly microwaved it though. Free parking. We'll be back!

    I don't know about the rest of their food but the rolled tacos are the best I've had in North County San Diego!! You can tell that they roll the tacos themselves because how they look and how thick they were. Also the green sauce that they put on the tacos is amazing! I will definitely be back for the real tacos.

    I've passed by Chito's a few times during lunch and one day finally came in. Located near Target right off the 78 freeway, you'll find Chito's Taco Shop. When I first walked in, I didn't expect for the restaurant to look big inside, but was pleasantly surprised. It was also well maintained. I was greeted by a friendly worker who took my order at the counter. Ordered five rolled tacos. Looked over at their flavored drinks and saw that the horchata dispenser was missing so I opted for a fountain drink. Their salsa bar already had individual containers of red and green sauce, a nice touch that seems more sanitary than your regular pour your own sauce bar. The guacamole that came with the rolled tacos was more of a creme versus your typical thicker guacamole. Wasn't too bothered by that since it was still flavorful. I also like how there was a substantial and equal amount of cheese and lettuce. It was a filling meal overall and a pretty good lunch option.

    Pico that they call their salsa with a nice chunk of mystery meat in it

    The chilaquiles were fantastic! The mole sauce was a little on the spicy side but really great flavor.

    It is clean and everything I've tried has been very good. The salsa verde is the best!

    The food was absolutely delicious, and I was so impressed by the quality and flavor of every dish…read more It is clear that a lot of care goes into the preparation, and knowing that Cocina Del Mar is a family-owned business makes the experience even more special. It is wonderful to support a local establishment that truly cares about the food they serve and the community they are part of. Thank you for providing such a fantastic dining experience. I look forward to visiting again soon!

    Finally visited Cocina Del Mar after always seeing it popup on Yelp or Google Maps. Our defacto…read morego-to standard for Mexican food has always been Mariscos Huatulco. They have the best molcajete and fajitas around, at the best prices. We are here just to see if Cocina Del Mar is better. Long story short: it's not. However, their ceviche is AMAZING. Best ceviche I have had in north county San Diego outside of Dija Mara (which has the best ceviche in the known universe). It is extremely fresh and not overpowered by acidity, fishy smells or rubbery shrimp. The ceviche here is legit. Great. AND ONLY $10 (for cameron). If you order anything here, get the ceviche first. I'm anxious to try their aguachile now. We also ordered the fajitas ("suprema" with chicken, steak and shrimp). Fajitas did not come out sizzling at all. I have never seen this before. Also, there were only two shrimp. The steak/carne was bland and dry. Not great. Wife ordered the Sopes (3) and mother ordered the Enchiladas Cameron. The sopes were okay, but a bit bland. Wife had to salt everything on the plate. The enchiladas had a sauce my mom said was too sweet. She wasn't a fan. For all three dishes to be a miss is completely strange considering the sheer number of 5-star reviews. I want to believe. We must have come on an off-day, but the place was busy. Quite a few larger parties were here, so this place is popular with the natives. We also grabbed a Model and a Corona. Only $5 for the beers! Total for everything came to $117.64 (with tip). I would absolutely come back for the ceviche and to give them another shot by trying a different dish. I snapped pics of the menu so you can see the latest prices. Check it out.
