    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.

    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!

    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

    First time at Coronado location. We walked in on Monday of Memorial Day weekend. We waited in line about and hour. We thought it might not be too crazy but it was! Make reservations online. We only decided to wait in like because we had 0 plans for the day and traded off being in line. This location is very spacious, with an ocean/skyline view. They also have outdoor seating as well as bar area (which you need your id for). We all ordered chilaquiles, they hit as they usually do. Another reason we decided to wait in line is because we already know what to expect of the food, the food is worth the wait. Aesthetically pleasing as the other brunch spots but this one takes the lead with the views.

    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…

I picked a place off Google but when we landed there we were not comfortable stopping to park, so we looked again and decided to check out La Puerta not realizing it was in the Gaslight District. I am not a fan of the Gaslight District, which is why I am so mad!! I'm going to HAVE to go back to the Gaslight District!! The food was AMAZING!! I HIGHLY recommend the Potato Flautitas. It's the kind of dish I'm going to dream about, I'm salivating now just thinking about them. I also did the Pick 3 Street Tacos (and actually ordered a 4th). The Ranchero Shrimp and Grilled Veggie were top notch. The Conchinita was recommended by our waiter, and it was interesting, tasty but different. It could have used a little more pickled onion. The only one I would not recommend (shockingly, I thought it would be the easy pass) was the carne asada. It was too greasy. My husband ordered a carne asada quesadilla and said the same, it was too wet and soaked through the tortilla. But there were no many other delightful options, I would say just don't go traditional. But honestly my favorite thing on the plate was the side dish rajas con crema, seriously, that alone is going to drag me down to the Gaslight District. I'm even considering going to a Padres game just for the excuse. I'm salivating again! As for our waiter, Colin, he was fantastic. Very informative, made great suggestions and seemed genuinely pleased by our satisfaction. He was smiling the whole time, friendly and stayed very present. I highly recommend you get yourself through the door at La Puerta and sit down for a meal ASAP. (We ate the food so fast I forgot to take pictures.)

Umami Brussels Sprouts (10/10) - The best Brussels sprouts I've had in San Diego so far! They had a nice crisp to them and weren't too oily or anything, but had a LOT of flavor, which I love. It didn't just taste dry and salty like Brussels sprouts sometimes can. Definitely one of my favorites. Molten Butter Cake (10/10) - This dessert is an angel food cake with pretzel toffee and caramel inside, then it goes in the oven to get warm before being brought out and topped with vanilla bean gelato and caramel. It was so well balanced. It looked really sweet, but because of how balanced all the flavors were, it didn't actually taste overly sweet. I don't even like caramel and it was SO good in this. The outside was soft, and the toffee and pretzel inside gave it a nice crunch. I really liked the combination of the soft cake with the crunchy pretzel toffee. Wagyu Cheeseburger with fries (8.5/10) - The patty had a smoky, grilled type of flavor that was really yummy. It was a good portion and was made really well. The fries were also a decent addition as a side choice. Egg Sandwich (8.5/10) - Pretty basic, but really well made and put together. The bun was a bit toasted, so it wasn't super soft and had a slight crispness to it, which I liked. The flavors were really well balanced and it was honestly so good. Service: The best service! Even when it wasn't a staff member in charge of our table, we were frequently checked on and everyone was super attentive and conversational, which made the experience a lot more personal and better. I love being able to share a laugh and have a conversation with the staff. The staff member responsible for our table was Heider, and he was super attentive, helpful, conversational, and patient. We also loved meeting Sasha! She's super nice and conversational as well. Thank you for having us! Ambiance: Such a nice restaurant inside and outside. We got the patio high top seating and it was really nice. It was hot out, but the big umbrella helped. It's super busy, but it still felt nice outside, and everything looked super clean and aesthetic. Really nice vibes overall.

Although, I think the menudo is quite pricey, I'm unsure if the prices went up for that because I haven't ever been early enough to get some but when I did go recently- I thought about getting a small order but the small was $10!! And it was maaaybe two cups worth, if that. I'm sure it's amazing since the rest of the food is but damn. I appreciate they have all the same items including the drinks- my go to is a lemon ice tea. It pairs wonderfully with a chorizo plate with rice. So good!! The line is a tad confusing at first because it winds around but just get in line and all will go fine. Plenty of seats, inside and outside. Parking can be tricky if you go at a busy time like the weekend or lunch time- the Northgate store is nearby and it can get crowded.
