Gorditas Estilo Aguascalientes

We'd noticed Cocina 85 out of the corner of our eye several times but just never got around to…read moretrying it. After seeing so many great reviews, we decided it was finally time to check it out--and now we're happy to add another one. The restaurant has a fun, colorful atmosphere with a modern, stylish vibe that makes it a great place to enjoy a meal. We started with the complimentary chips and salsa, and both were fresh and delicious. I ordered the Mojarra Frita (fried tilapia) and asked for it extra crispy. That's why it's cut the way it is--it allows the fish to get nice and crispy all over. If you like your mojarra extra crispy, definitely ask for it this way. They were happy to accommodate, and it turned out exactly how I wanted it. My husband ordered one of the combo plates, and he really enjoyed his meal as well. The service was excellent. Everyone was genuinely friendly, attentive, and checked on us throughout our meal without being overbearing. Great food, great service, and a welcoming atmosphere. We're glad we finally gave Cocina 85 a try, and we'll definitely be back. Highly recommended!

The chorizo and eggs plate absolutely delivered. Flavor-packed, hearty, and the kind of meal that instantly cures your day. I was hungry after a full morning of training out in San Bernardino! Luckily this place was just conveniently across the street! Boom!lol The rice and beans were solid, the salsa was fresh with the perfect kick, and those warm chips disappeared fast. Portions are generous, prices are fair, and everything tasted homemade. Honestly tho, the decor alone makes this place worth the visit. Every wall is photo-worthy and full of personality without feeling gimmicky. It gives cool neighborhood gem energy and fun welcoming, colorful, and memorable sayings. lol IYKYK! Perfect for a laid-back late breakfast or lunch when you want good food and a place with actual character instead of another boring chain spot. Will absolutely be back. Love supporting small businesses!

I'm going to be coming back a lot. The portion was great for the price, and they definitely didn't skimp on the meat or toppings. My boyfriend and I shared them and it was plenty for both of us. The service was also super sweet and welcoming, which made the experience even better! Definitely my new go-to spot whenever I'm craving carne asada fries. Highly recommend trying them!

Salsa was excellent chips were very good just wish they were bigger. My daughter and I both had the combo plate with chicken tacos, chili relleno and chicken enchilada, my daughter had red cheese enchilada. I had the green sauce on my chicken enchilada. It came with rice and beans too. I never eat the rice in restaurants because it's usually bland and boring. If the beans are any good the whole plate would be good. I was in shock the beans and rice tasted like home. The green sauce on my enchilada was better tasting than my daughter's red sauce. She ordered a Michelada, it was very good . A bit pricey but very good. We will definitely return . I can't wait to try their menudo. I hope it's as tasty as the food we had tonight.

Super flavorful and well seasoned. There is a small parking lot inside/behind the business. Anyways. I wish they had ONE salsa that wasn't spicy.

After a long week and zero desire to cook on a Friday night, I finally decided to give it a try. When I pulled up, the line was surprisingly short, which felt like a good sign. The order window is right out front, and the menu is simple and familiar: tacos, burritos, sopes, tortas, quesabirria. I ordered a little bit of almost everything: asada street tacos, a bean and cheese burrito, beans and rice, an asada mulita, an al pastor sope, and a quesabirria. Prices were reasonable, and I spent under $50 for the whole spread. Food came out in about 15 minutes and was packed neatly. The disappointment started once I got home. There was no salsa in the bags, which already put us at a disadvantage. Only then did I realize there's apparently a salsa bar inside along with a small seating area, something you don't see from the front order window. Had I known that, I would've grabbed what we needed before leaving. Then we opened the tacos and realized they came completely plain... no onion, no cilantro, nothing. Just tortillas and meat. Not exactly what I expected. Visually, everything else looked fine, so I was hoping the flavor would make up for it... but it didn't. Everything tasted bland, like the seasoning took the night off. The only thing I halfway enjoyed was the beans and rice, and my family felt the same way. Maybe my expectations were too high based on the crowds I always see, but everything tasted like tortillas, meat, and cheese... and not much else. I'll give them credit for fair pricing and quick service, but that's about it. I really wish the cashier had mentioned that the tacos come plain or pointed me toward the salsa setup. Overall, not the experience I expected, and not one I'd rush back for.

Flavor less water and a quesadilla with a hair in it.

My boyfriend ordered the carne en chile rojo, but he also wasn't a big fan of the flavor. The albóndiga soup was probably our favorite, and I would rate it around a 4/10. The service was definitely the highlight of our visit. Our waitress was kind and tried to guide us toward other options, but unfortunately the food flavors just didn't meet our expectations this time. Hopefully other dishes are better.

Despite the name, there's no actual drive‑thru, just a walk‑up pickup window, but it has that classic quick taco‑shop vibe. The menu is a mix of Mexican and American options -- your usual burritos, taquitos, tacos, plus burgers and a few extras. I ordered my go‑to ground beef taco combo, which is what I always get at a new Mexican spot because it tells me everything I need to know at once: tacos, meat, beans, and rice. Ordering was easy. The guy at the window wasn't overly friendly, but he wasn't rude either. It was over 100 degrees outside, so honestly he handled himself well and still gave solid service. My food came out in about ten minutes and the pricing was definitely affordable. I'd rate the food a solid 7 out of 10. It tasted fine and was exactly what I expected from a quick Mexican spot with simple, decent flavor. I also grabbed chicken taquitos for my kid. They looked basic, nothing fancy, and since my kid wasn't in the car to give a review, I'm going off visuals alone. They definitely weren't giving Michelin Star energy, so I doubt they tasted like it, but they looked perfectly edible for a quick bite. To sum it up, if I'm already in the area, I'd stop again. I wouldn't go out of my way to come grab a bite, but it's a reliable little spot when you need something fast and affordable.
