Liz and her team were incredible! Where to start? She gave us a tasting, worked with us on schedule, showed up early, had beautiful decor, excellent service, and incredible food! The guests at my wedding were raving about her. Liz herself is very positive, communicative, and a genuinely sweet human being. I will definitely use her again for my next event and would recommend her to any of my friends or colleagues. read more

Liz cocina was a hit for my 50th Birthday celebration! Top cuts of chicken, carnitas, carne asada, pork and fish! All was well seasoned! Im hispanic and i feel its hard to find good Spanish rice. Liz hit the bullseye it was delicious! Beans, homemade tortillas and salsas where top notch! To top it off the agua frescas Jamaica and horchata enough said total hit on my day! Don't waste your time with anyone else! I booked Liz Cocina 6 months in advance and her communication was spot on!

See all

I wasn't disappointed I am from the Bay Area and my family lives in San Diego so I went out on a limb and looked through yelp and ran into this yelp. I was kind eery because there's no website to look for other reviews so I took a chance read these reviews and all were good. Put my order in picked them up for the Xmas holiday. And I must say they were good so every time I come down I will be ordering from Liz. Thank you Liz read more

My wife and I were invited to a birthday party in Coronado Shores which was catered by Liz's Cocina. No offense meant to others, but the food was the highlight of the event. The quality of Liz's food certainly matched the high-end real estate. There was so much good food, I went back for seconds, and I never go back for seconds! The meats were superbly spiced and prepared. The frijoles tasted exactly like frijoles should taste, and the rice was fluffy and spicy. Everything I tried was excellent. Now I find myself trying to figure out a good reason to host an event I can hire Liz to cater !! read more

I Love Liz's food i have been getting food from her for years . The meat is always top notch and her catering is delicious , she has catered two of my parties over the years and everyone raves about the food . Try it its worth the money read more

We got tamales for Christmas here this year. Customer service was great prices were reasonable, the food was delicious. They prepare there masa with oil instead of animal fat so the chili cheese and sweet tamales are vegetarian. She said her beans and rice are as well. We will probably be going back again next year. read more

You can't go wrong with Liz... her food is fresh, authentic and so YUMMY! She's energetic, friendly, responsive and affordable. Liz catered a very high profile event for me at work - 180 guests. I was tasked with finding a reputable, reliable and affordable caterer that provided authentic mexican cuisine. I contacted Liz after finding her, where else, but on Yelp! She immediately provided me a quote and we set up a date for a tasting for myself and 6 other ladies in the office. THE FOOD WAS SOOOOO GOOD - and what is better than fresh refried beans, the yummiest cheese enchildas, chili rellenos, rice and allll of the fixins' for breakfast at 8:30 in the morning??? I had never had a chili relleno tamale before, and it was amazing! Not one person in the group disagreed with my choice to hire Liz for our event! I'm telling you.... You can't go wrong with Liz. I not only fell in love with her food, but Liz herself. She is so energetic, friendly and professional. THANK YOU Liz! I received so many compliments after the event - your food, staff, everything - made the day a roaring success! read more

I went here looking for authentic Mexican made tamales but found they lacked just that. The owners are very nice and friendly. These just aren't my great aunts tamales. read more

Liz's is delicious. I've had the opportunity to sample many of their dishes and it's so tasty and full of flavors. The prices are so reasonable! read more

I love my bean and cheese burritos from Liz's Cocina. She had definitely mastered her craft. This woman rolls her floor tortillas out from scratch fresh. I love everything about the burrito. The beans are fresh and mashed. Perfect flavor, and I love beans with no lard. The white cheese makes a wonderful match of flavor. I even eat them cold they're so good! I order some at least once a month. The burritos are so huge that I can share one with my daughter. She's a vegetarian, that's why we just get the bean and cheese. She also has carne asada and shredded chicken. That's just the burritos! I love her (taco sause). The owner Liz is very hands on and she delivers her food herself, all the time, to my job. She is a personable woman. She really enjoys when someone books her for catering. She does taco parties. Trust me you do want her cooking for you. read more

Liz delivers her unbelievably delicious burritos, tamales, enchiladas & empanadas to my hair dresser in Old Town (Gina at Vanilla who is fantastic!). I snagged her beef tamales and both the green & red sauce chicken enchiladas. We ate all the enchiladas this weekend and they were amazing! read more

Six stars for sure! Most delicious burritos (I'm a bean & cheese fan) and tamales in town. I grew up in San Diego, hands down Liz's Cocina is the best Mexican. Her kitchen is downtown, and we feel so lucky that she delivers to North County. Most of all, she is stellar! Once you meet her, you feel like family! Good luck keeping them in the house. PS- don't forget the excellent green salsa verde. read more

I first tasted Liz's burritos at my hair stylist's salon. She was passing out samples. My stylist's said they were delicious. I tried one & fell in love. She sells them fresh or frozen. I love the chicken/bean combo & my husband loves the carne asada ones. We buy them 6-12 at a time & freeze them for a quick dinner. My husband has eaten burritos at many places & he says these are the BEST! She also does catering. These burritos are addicting. You wont be able to stop eating them :) read more

Best.Burritos.Ever! I've been buying Liz's burritos for years (from my hair stylists' salon). Bean and cheese, by the half dozen, and stuff them in to my freezer. That way, when I come home from a business, I know I have something I can eat. And something delicious, too! She's always prompt and friendly, and yup, good prices. But best of all, really delicious food! Now I need to stop in to her shop! read more

I absolutely LOVE Liz's food! I love pork tamales and she definitely makes them right! I never liked carne asada but her carne asada and cheese burritos are my favorite! Even though I am on a diet, my one indulgence is one of her burritos at least once a week, if I don't bring them home my boyfriend is very sad. We also hired Liz to do the catering for my Graduation party next month and I am looking forward to it! I wouldn't let anyone else cater it! read more

Ok her food totally got me. I am not a big fan off Mexican food but Oh my God her burritos are fantastic. Her service is great and she always has smile and good energy about her. And her food, ohhh you have to call her and try this will be the best you ever had for sure. Highly recommend it for sure read more

Terrific catering for tamales (pork and chile rellano) and vegetarian beans and rice. The chile rellano tamales were loved by all, even the carnivores in the group. I place an order for 4 dozen tamales and rice and beans for 25 the day before, and they had the order ready the next day, reasonably priced and the owner was very helpful and friendly. Glad we will have left overs for tomorrow! read more

I hosted a graduation party for 30 people and ordered the tacos, rice, beans, and tortillas I had a change in time and Liz adjusted her schedule to accommodate me. Liz came early. She set up quickly and is so personable. The food was spectacular. The guests couldn't get enough. The tortillas were so good guests just kept eating them after they were done with dinner. I would highly recommend Liz's Cocina. You get excellent food at a great price. Penny read more

I called Liz's to cater a luncheon I was hosting, it turned out to be the perfect choice. The food was amazing and turned the meeting into a home run. I highly recommend Liz's for your next catering event, or just go get some burritos, you will not be disappointed. read more

Being Hispanic I'm very picky about my Mexican food. I love her food! All of it! It's fresh , the food freezes well, so I could just come home ,pop in microwave and done! read more

I've been ordering food from Liz for 8 years now! She's catered parties for myself, and my friends. I also refer her to all my clients, and we're ALWAYS HAPPY! Everything is delicious! read more

Okay so much work had a luncheon the one Friday I asked off for and I totally missed out! Darn it! Well lucky for me, my girls in our department hooked me up and saved me a little! I got to taste the rice, beans, quesadillas, salsas and chips...the bomb! The other burritos and tamales were a total hit and one couldn't be saved for me. From one Mexican to another, que sabroso! Mucho caliente! Delicious and authentic! read more

Six Stars! She and her food are wonderful! My husband and I pre-order food each month so we have delicious food all month long! We especially love the fact she has taken to get to know us and remember our order! Her food is very high quality! We love her! Try her Chile Relleno Tamales! read more

My husband and I had a housewarming party and we are in Alpine. Liz's staff arrived promptly to set up. The food was so plentiful and so delicious! Very authentic Mexican food! The staff was very professional, and they left the leftover food with us. All our guests were raving about the food and the nice staff. We found Liz through our friends who had hired them to cater a birthday party. Word of mouth, people! This is how you find great services...and Liz and her staff do not disappoint! We will be hiring them again in a heartbeat! read more

We had our Christmas meals catered and I have to say it was amazing, great flavor, tamales aren't dry and enchiladas are also amazing! Thank you and happy holidays! read more

Pretty much the best Mexican food I have ever had and virtually the only Mexican food my kids will eat, and we live in San Diego. Liz comes into the business where I get my hair done to sell the most amazing burritos and tamales. If she doesn't come while we are there, we call her and ask her "WHEN ARE YOU COMING"!! One Saturday, my kids made me track her down at her catering kitchen in El Cajon. They couldn't go a day without Liz's burritos! Look no further for awesome Mexican catering. Liz is the best. read more

Another great lunch by Liz! We had Liz cater our Halloween lunch yesterday and once again it was a hit! Everyone loved the food and I loved the care that went into getting everything brought to our office and set up on time. It makes a big difference when you are planning a company event and you know you can count on someone like Liz. Thank you so much for the great service and fantastic food Liz. They'll be fighting over the leftovers today in our break room, no doubt. :) read more

I was in La Mesa at my hair stylist and Liz came in selling food. I ordered burritos for myself and my daughters. I asked Liz if she catered parties. She did, so I booked her for my 50th birthday party at Silverstrand State Beach. I ordered pork and chicken. It came with everything that I needed (rice, beans, fresh corn and flour tortillas, salsa fresca, red and green sauce, guacamole, chips). She even threw in a tray of chicken enchiladas, which were the first item that we ran out of. Everything came ready for the warming trays. She also provided plates, napkins, forks etc. She arrived right at noon like we planned. That was a huge relief since I had invited 40 people to my party. She was completely reliable. Thanks Liz, I had a fun birthday! read more

Liz makes the best burritos! I buy them all the time and keep them in my freezer. They are perfect for those nights when I just don't have time for a big dinner and they are great for lunch too! Our favorites are carnitas and beans and the bean and cheese ones. When we are out of them, my kids ask if I am going to see the "burrito lady" soon. We've also had the delicious enchiladas and tamales. The secret is in the tortillas (which come in regular and whole wheat) and the delicious beans. read more

Liz's food is out of this world! The taste and quality of the food is the next best thing to homemade. The flavors are incredible....my first bite...I was hooked. I have purchased the chicken and carnitas burritos and the chicken and cheese enchiladas. I take the food home and divide into smaller portions and put them in the freezer....they freeze wonderfully....and when I am in the mood for homemade Mexican food...I don't need to get dressed and go to a Mexican restaurant...or a drive-thru taco stand....I go to my freezer and grab myself a half burrito...put it in the microwave for two (2) minutes....I chop up some avocado, tomatoes, cilantro, and cheese, and pour some salsa on my plate, as my side condiments, and I smile to myself as I nestle myself down in the corner spot on my couch, remote to the side of me, and one (1) of Liz Cocina's burritos on my plate....life could not be any sweeter. I highly Highly HIGHLY recommend that you visit Liz's Cocina & Tamale Factory and taste the homemade goodness for yourself. I will be contacting Liz's Cocina & Tamale Factory for the next event that I need catered food! read more

I am in San Diego on business and attended a dinner tonight at which the host featured an amazing catered buffet by Liz's Cocina. The food was spectacular--authentic, flavorful, and homemade--and the service could not have been friendlier or more professional. I would highly recommend them and only wish they would open a business on the East Coast so we won't feel so deprived! read more

liz's cocina is the best mexican catering around...my family and i love liz's food it is not only delicious but the prices are very reasonable..i am obsessed with her salsa and hand made tortillas....my kids love all of her burritos, she sell's them frozen and it's just so easy for a mom on the go!....all of her food have the best quality and it feels like my abuelita made it for me straight for her kitchen..if your looking for delicious, authentic food....go to liz!!...shes the best in town! read more

Been ordering from Liz for over 15 years! She delivers to Coronado and comes right to our office. My sons have been loving her bean and cheese and chicken burritos for years. They are huge and a great price. Great fresh food and good prices all delivered with a smile. read more

I was getting married on New Years Day, having a 50 person wedding at home. I needed a caterer. Not easy to find for New Years Day. A friend recommended Liz's Cocina for Mexican food catering. I called Liz and we made an appointment for me to sample her food. OUTSTANDING!!!! She is also one of the most friendly and nice people I have ever met! I ordered tamales (chili relano and chicken), enchiladas (chicken and cheese) and the "taco bar" (carne asada and pollo asada). Everything was included (delivery, paper goods, chips, guacamole, salsas, everything needed for the meal). She also provided the serving containers. They delivered on time and the food was delicious! All of our guests said it was the best caterered Mexican food they had ever had! I love that she has the chili rellano tamales. One of my vegetarian guests said it was the first tamale they ever had as they always have meat in them. Anyway, I would highly recommend Liz's for catering. And did I mention that her prices are unbelieveable for what you get? A great deal, wonderful product and super customer service. She also sells tamales and enchiladas by the dozen for individual orders. I will definitely be using her again and recommending her to friends! We love you, Liz!!!! read more

I was introduced to Liz's fabulous burritos at my hair stylist's salon. My daughter and I crave these on a weekly basis. I order them by the dozen because they freeze very well. Our favorites are the bean and cheese and the bean and chicken. They are perfectly seasoned, moist, flavorful ... absolutely delicious. I like to eat them with the salsa and some freshly diced avocado on the side. We have them for dinner once per week because they are fast, easy and wholesome. You can taste the quality ingredients she uses, plus they are very clean in terms of the kind of oil they use which is a very important consideration for me personally. These are not beans refried in blackened grill top grease. Olive oil, fresh spices, good cheese. The ingredients come through with every bite. The only negative is they are addictive and once you taste them you just can't settle for a burrito from anywhere else! Please keep making these Liz, they are the BEST. read more
