    Plain Shreded beef burrito no sauce.
    Gilbert M.

    If you are looking for that "Hole in the wall" Mexican food, you have to try this place. Their claim to fame is Mariscos (Sea food) but even their shreade beef is bountiful. Our burritos were stiffed with meat! None of that "More tortilla than meat" jazz here. Anna the server was delightful and ready to help.

    Tostada de camarón

    I use to come here when I was very young 15 years old to be exact. Now I'm 46 I decided to come back as we were visiting from AZ. Goodness, food is still delicious. The servers were really nice too. The music is on point. Overall it was really good to come back. Thank you! Definitely recommend this place.

    Aquachiles (not spicy) flavor okay.
    Miranda C.

    Over priced , I was disappointed , Service fast , Food tasted ok , for its price I thought it would taste better

    This soup gooooooes
    Dee J.

    It's the soup for me. The burrito was also top tier. Chicken was cooked to perfection and seasoned well. Will be back to try the mariscos.

    Tostada de Ceviche (Camarón Cocido)
    Irene G.

    Recently discovered this restaurant about a month ago. I first time we went it was around 9pm for a late dinner.For their appetizers they bring chips and salsa, their signature soup and fried fish with onion. I ordered the ceviche with cooked shrimp.Very spicy!! Very delicious !! They also offer the shrimp cooked in lemon.

    a platter of fresh oysters

    Came to celebrate my moms bday. Ordered tacos, oysters, and a cocktail. The waitress made a mistake with our oysters and brought us some cooked one with melted cheese instead of basic raw oysters. I told her we would like them switched. She just blankly stared haha she then said we can't take them back. I asked to speak to her manager and they were trying to justify the mistake. Finally they took the cooked oysters and brought us some tiny small baby oysters. The size was laughable!

    Really good michelada

    Average Mexican food place, nothing special about it. Lacked seasoning. Weird cheese in the bacon wrapped shrimp. Rio Ranch's mojarras have more flavor. Asada in the burrito was good but no salsa/Chile inside.

    Molcajete - has chicken, carne asada, bacon wrapped shrimp,  chorizo, fried nopales, fried queso fresco. SOoO GOOD
    Rosey R.

    This place was introduced to me by my father who is a picky eater. He gets the tostadas which are an amazing mound of shrimp topped with avocado. The molcajete is amazing. While you wait for your food they bring you a soup and some chicharones marinated in lemon and salt. You have to come here. It's the best new spot for us when we come visit.

    Omg!!!! After reading this reviews that it's so good I went today and omg!!! Everything was so salty!!!! I went in with 3 friends and only gave us 2 forks! As u can see I'm showing u what a $14.95 place gets u almost nothing! Bad service food is awful so salty and the meat or shrimp looks like it's been there a while!! People stop reviewing places with good stars if they suck! And the restrooms oh my gah!!!! Pigs!!!! And then they have the auducity of not wanting to give u the receipt??? Yuck I paid and got out waste of money!

    "LARGE" cocktail $16

    Been coming here for years but their cocktails keep getting smaller and don't taste the same - you can taste the tap water they use to make it - if you want a great Shrimp and Octopus cocktail go to Sumabi! The food here is mediocre

    I must have gotten the wrong things to order cause what I got last evening was not the move…read more Apparently I should have gotten their fish dishes cause I got their carne asada tacos and it was interesting. Let's start with the tacos. They were very greasy and suuuuuper salty. I like my carne asada to be flavorful but whoever marinated the meat that day was either heavy on the salt or over marinated. I'm leaning on over marinated cause the texture of the asada was terrible. It was mushy and stringy when probably mean it marinated too long. Maybe the choice of meat was had too? It just tasted like ground beef and not flap meat like most places do it. It was the same story for the California burrito. I love a good California. Probably one of my favorite burritos to get. But Bahia was not it. Again same problem with the meat. Overly salty and meat texture was off. Ironically enough, the parts that didn't have any meat were very good. Now when it came down the service the lady behind the counter was very nice and the restaurant itself was very clean. So I do give them props for that. Maybe I'll come back and try their seafood/fish dishes since that seems to be what they are known for but if it's based of the asada, wasn't a good first impression.

    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!
