    Oh wow so good where to begin. I'm convinced most bad reviews are skewed from the dweebs who don't think to make a reservation lol. We didn't even know this place existed until we got off the ferry and said "wow that must be good look at the line." Super long line out the door. I opened up open table and saw they took reservations. We had bike rentals so we made one for an hour later (11:30 AM). We got in the reservation line at 11:15 and were seated soon after. Delicious pancakes delicious French toast, egg over medium cooked to perfection, avocado perfect ripe, delicious cocktails (got the spritz and mojito) and incredible chilaquiles with carnitas. Nice views as well and super nice fast service

    Great place for brunch. The food was excellent service was great and they have a great view of the city and the bay. Parking is readily available in the lot. They get very busy. I highly recommend you make reservations.

    This is easily one of my favorite places to grab a bite. While the food is always delicious, it's honestly the view that keeps me coming back. There is nothing quite like sitting outside, soaking in a little bit of sunlight, and just watching life pass by. Paired with the great ambiance and great company. It makes for the most relaxing escape. I always leave here completely satisfied and already looking forward to my next visit.

    Guac!!

    Our friend made reservations for Cocina and I'm so glad he did. The wait looked SO long for non-reservations and I'm glad we got in when we did. The inside was so surprising! It was busy but organized at the same time. There's workers with carts that have different things that they bring around. The decor was really refreshing and whimsical and I very much enjoyed seeing all the cute details throughout the store. The food was GOOD! It was nicely flavored and I felt like I couldn't stop eating. The flights were so tasty as well. The only downside was that there was not enough room on the table for all of our orders to fit.

    Cocina 35 in Coronado is absolutely worth a visit! The location is beautiful, with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating, but I'd definitely recommend making a reservation since it's such a popular spot. They're famous for their chilaquiles, and it's easy to see why...they offer so many creative options that there's something for everyone. Everything we ordered was fresh, flavorful, and delicious. The beverages were just as impressive and paired perfectly with our meal. The service was outstanding from start to finish. Everyone was friendly, attentive, and made us feel welcome. Between the beautiful setting, incredible food, and excellent service, this is definitely a place we'll be coming back to. Highly recommend if you're in Coronado!

    CHILAQUILES - build your own with asada

    Cocina 35 has quickly become one of my favorite brunch spots in San Diego! The chilaquiles are hands down the best i've had so far! They're so flavorful, perfectly made, and definitely worth the hype. If you're lucky enough to snag a window seat, the beach views are absolutely beautiful. Even if you don't, the restaurant itself is gorgeous with such a fun, inviting ambiance. The staff are incredibly friendly, well-coordinated, and organized, which makes the whole experience feel seamless from start to finish. I also love that they offer tableside guacamole, fresh pan dulce, coffee, and Abuelita hot cocoa, it really makes the experience feel unique and special. I'm already looking forward to coming back to try the tacos de papa and their aguas frescas. If you're debating whether to check this place out, do yourself a favor and go, you won't be disappointed! I highly recommend making a reservation in advance though unless you don't mind waiting 20-30min or more because it does get packed!!

    Cocina 35 Coronado exceeded our expectations from the moment we walked in. We had an 8:15 AM reservation and were seated a few minutes early at the exact table we requested, which was a great start to our morning. The service was outstanding! our servers were attentive, friendly, and offered excellent recommendations that did not disappoint. The Cajeta iced latte had the perfect balance of sweet and bold coffee flavors, and the Premium Mango Mimosa was incredibly refreshing with fresh mango juice and Moët. For breakfast, the Cremosos Chilaquiles with grilled chicken were rich, creamy, and packed with flavor. We also tried the La Bomba Chilaquiles with added chorizo, and the creamy habanero sauce paired perfectly with the cochinita pibil and pickled onions. The Pancakes De La Feria for kids were light, fluffy, and absolutely delicious. The portions were generous, the prices were very reasonable, and we appreciated that the kids' meals even included Acqua Panna water. Great food, exceptional service, and a welcoming atmosphere make this an easy 5-star recommendation. We'll definitely be back! To the kitchen staff: WOW! Thank you! Flavors were incredible!

    Sampler familia

    I've been here a couple of times now and Cocina 35 has never disappointed. The views are absolutely stunning and make the experience even better. We ordered the Familia Sampler and everything was flavorful and delicious. My favorite is the tacos de papas. The drinks were the real standout! The Verde Agua Fresca and the Mango Tajin Agua Fresca were absolutely delicious. If you're having a hard time choosing, I highly recommend the Agua Fresca Flight as it's a great way to try a variety of flavors. Great food, amazing drinks, and beautiful views. The service is always up to par. They're friendly, attentive and welcoming without being overbearing.

    Came during a holiday afternoon. Purposely took the ferry (over half an hour wait) just to eat here. Attempted to make reservations days in advance, but apparently they don't take reservations for groups larger than 6. Waited about 15 minutes before we were seat. Place wasn't crowded when we arrived. Our waiter would not take our food order with our drink order so we order ice water initially for everyone. He attempted to bring us multiple glass bottles of expensive water. We had him take them back and bring us tap water. Took a while for him to come back. Ordered bunch of expensive drinks when he came back. After serving us drinks, he finally took our food order. Took a while for our food to come and they did not come all at once. Also, multiple orders were incorrect. Apparently he misunderstood us. Food was really good. Scenery was really nice. They charge us 20% gratuity for our table of 11. Our bill came out to over $500. ALL of us agreed the service was horrible. May return just for the food. Expect mediocre service.

    I liked the experience. The food was filling and overall good. The chorizo chilaquiles didn't have really any chorizo on it. It seems like they just poured a small layer of sauce of it. The location was beautiful though and the presentation of the coffee was nice

    Mimosa Flight

    The ambiance is very lively and great for breakfast. Recommend El patron and Mimosa Flight. Place can get busy but great place to hang.

    Cocina 35 is located on the Coronado island side and it sure was popping when I walked in late afternoon on a Tuesday. Many celebratory gatherings were seen and I was lucky enough to be able to get seated as they were closing soon. I sat by the bar and I had a nice view of the waterfront. The inside is decorated very nice with a flower theme vibe. I ordered one of their specialty chilaquiles plate: Cremosos a very unique approach to this plate: Creamy chipotle salsa topped with grilled chicken and I added a sunny side up egg. This plate was very very good I finished it all 5/5. For my drink: I ordered a guayaba mimosa served on a nice glass and had a flower for decoration. The drink was refreshing, bubbly and just enough guayaba flavor in it. I really enjoyed my time here despite being short since they were closing for the day. I didn't feel rushed and staff was helpful overall.

    Love this location. It has great views to really soak up the San Diego experience. For food we ordered the "Make your own chilaquiles". The tomate red sauce was recommended. It had good flavor. The chilaquiles have a good crunch which I always look for. My son got the kids mini pancakes that comes with eggs and fruit. We added a side of bacon. They have a cart with conchas and abuelita chocolate that you can order before, during, or after your meal. The abuelita chocolate is soooo good. We got a side of frijoles puercos (which have a nice spicy kick) and a sweet tamale. For drinks we ordered the cafe de la olla latte and the horchata which were both very good. You can't fo wrong with this place. Nadia was a server she was very kind, helpful, and friendly

    How is the parking?

    Parking can be a bit tight some days. Honestly, if you can't find any parking, I suggest parking somewhere along the boardwalk and walking

    Are there any vegan options?

    It's extremely limited. Even the beans are made with chicken stock.

    Do you take walkins?

    They do, but some mornings you will have to wait in line. I would make a reservation if possible.

    Are pets allowed?

    I didn’t see any pets during my visit, and I don’t believe they allowed them inside. However, they do have an outdoor patio, which might be an option. But call and verify. As a pet owner, I left my dog at home and enjoyed this spot as a great…

But nonetheless the dark interior and laid back environment was pleasant. Even with the laid back environment, the service was attentive and helpful. You can check out my 2 menu pics for the thematic food and drinks that are available. We started with the Volcano Fries. This dish starts with your basic fries, and goes up from there. As you can see from my pic, there are plenty of seasonings on the fries. But it's ALL about their sauces: Sriracha Aioli and Hot Honey. (BTW, the heat wasn't overly hot and didn't distract from the flavors.). Between the garlic, the sweet/heat action, the creaminess of the Aioli, these fries were very hard to stop munching on. While not a super-phenomenal appetizer, it was incredibly irresistible. We then finished with the Pineapple Fried Rice with Spam & Portuguese Sausage, see my pic. We liked the combination of the fried rice with the rich meats (yes, I classified Spam as a meat. This reminded me of some of the Hawaiian Spam dishes.) The seasoning was rather weak. But it still was a hearty and robust meal.
