So close to a five star review, the food was amazing, customer service was great. Everything was freshly made and amazing but I have to deduct one star. You cannot serve tostadas that come from the store out of a bag. They're simply not that good. You guys make the taco shells for the dorado tacos. Do the same for the tostadas that come with pozole. I was so close to giving five stars, but the taste of the tostada out of a bag just isn't good. Homemade tostada would've been so much better. Food: the red posole is simply amazing! A little bit different what I'm used to in Houston, but it was phenomenal. The dorado desebrada was the real winner it comes tacos. It was amazing! Top notch. Perfectly made! The customer service was great too! I would definitely come back here! Great authentic food! read more

I believe in giving people second chances, and I'm glad I did. The other day, my coworker came into the office with chilaquiles that smelled amazing. She told me they were from Super Cocina, so I had to give the place another try. I ordered the chilaquiles with carnitas, and they were delicious! The mild salsa really hit the spot. The next morning, I went back and ordered the same thing before heading to work because I enjoyed it that much. Then today, I stopped by again for lunch and ordered the enchiladas de mole and a guisado (Mexican stew). The food was good, and the customer service was friendly. My only complaint is that the portions could be a little larger. The enchiladas had very little meat, and overall the servings felt a bit small for the price. I also think the restaurant could use an upgrade or remodel. Other than that, my second experience was much better than my first, and I'm glad I decided to give Super Cocina another chance. read more

I was in SD for vacation with my boyfriend and was cravinggg chicharrones con chile. I searched it up on Google and this place came up. We went over and I immediately loved the vibe of the place. It was very warm and inviting inside, it almost felt like home. The ladies behind the counter were extremely nice and helpful, even letting me sample some of the food. I ended up getting a plate with the chicharrones and spicy pork with potatoes. The food was very yummy with a nice heat behind it. My boyfriend doesn't eat pork and they were very accommodating to that, making him a breakfast burrito with potatoes, eggs, and cheese. I loved this place and will 100% go back! read more

I was absolutely spoilt for choice between all their options for guisados. I had carnitas, chicken mole, and spicy pork and all of them were absolutely amazing. The staff were super friendly and gave us tasters for all their guisados. Portions were pretty big - we had a combo plate with 3 guisados and it was more than enough for two. This is the perfect introduction to Mexican food for anyone who's only had tacos and burritos. Clean dining area and restrooms, and spacious with plenty of seating too. read more

Always pass by this hidden gem and finally got to try the food. I got a chicken guisado plate. I'm not sure what the sauce was that covered the chicken, but it was very flavorful and the chicken was tender. It comes with rice and beans and fresh corn tortillas. Simple plate with a lot of flavor. I will definitely be back! read more

I really enjoyed the cozy atmosphere and the authentic feel of this Mexican cocina económica. The homemade guisados and antojitos are unique, but the flavors were a bit hit-or-miss for a mid-range spot. read more

The food here is truly delectable and fresh, and the portions are great. The fifth star is missing for just three reasons: no guacamole, no Swiss enchiladas, no Mexican coke - and terrible hours... this is the perfect late night food but it closes a bit early in the evening. The service is very friendly and polite but can be forgetful while busy if you ask them to customize anything (leave an ingredient or another out, etc.). The salsas are truly great and their regular beef tacos over the top great. Clean, neat, spacious... but probably swamped in the day time. Their menudo is some of the best in San Diego if not Southern California. read more

10 out of 10 for the 15+ years I've been coming over to Super Cocina. It's the most authentic, homemade food that might be too "mexican" for people who are mainly used to tacos, burritos and texmex food with the typical yellow cheese and sour cream. Super Cocina is for the people by the people. I truly recommend it for anyone who wants to experience real mexican food. read more

Always love the food here. When I am not feeling well I know I can always send someone here to get me caldo de pollo or if I am just in the mood I get some caldo de res I also love the chilaquiles and enchiladas de mole read more

Amazing all day breakfast (and lunch and Breakfast) restaurant. Highly recommend the chilaquiles with mole. Super delicious.

This is not your typical Mexican restaurant and definitely not a taco place. They have a variety of entrees to choose from. Some are familiar and others are very authentic, regional Mexican dishes. It is no frills, counter service, but definitely worth it if you like real Mexican food. read more

Without a doubt, one of the best home-cooked Mexican restaurants you'll find in SD. Don't miss it. read more

The food was spectacular!! Brought me to tears due to the fact it tasted just like "la comida de mi abuela"!! I had a mouthwatering combo plate of chicken mole and cochinta pibil with rice and beans!! Will definitely make the drive here from Corona to enjoy this deliciousness again!! read more

Súper Cocina is a staple of the community and it continues to be because they are consistent with their quality food. Their guisados are always delicious. The really spicy red stew (I forget if it's pork or beef), is my favorite thing here, it's amazing. I do have one gripe with this place, and it's their flour tortillas. The ones they give you in a little plastic bag are always really bad. They taste like Mission tortillas from Vons. What is that?? There's a tortillería down the block!! read more

Best mexican food ever, love their carne en chile colorado and also the huevos en salsa tampiquńa..Their birria and barbacoa are also a great choice.. read more

I have driven by many times, and have read great things, but I haven't had the chance to stop by until recently. I was actually going to Canada, but it was really crowded, so why not try something new. Parking is street or if you're there after 6, there are some spaces behind the market. Friendly greeting when I walked in, I didn't know what to order. Looked over the menu boards and I remembered reading they had mole. So I asked and ordered the plate to go with rice and beans. I also ordered a chicken burrito for a friend. The chicken was really tender and the sauce was delicious. The chicken burrito was very good too. It too was filled with rice and beans and huge! Definitely worth checking out. They have a small patio outside. I look forward to exploring some of the other dishes! read more

Craving chilaquiles this morning and found this place was less than a mile away. It is definitely a neighborhood spot. Luckily they have a small parking lot on the side otherwise it would be street parking and walking. Very spacious inside and clean. Lots of seating and not too crowded for a Sunday morning. They have coffee in a pot ready to serve up, which I liked. It's buffet style with lots of meats, appetizers, beans and rice. We got our plates to-go but the empanadas looked good so I got one with cheese one with meat. Not as crispy as they looked. As for when we got home, the chilaquiles were good, not great. Kind of soggy by the time we got home but the eggs were fresh. Much cheaper than elsewhere and not too long to wait. If you're in the neighborhood, stop by and support a local business. I think we'll be back for dinner. read more

My sons and I have been stopping by Super Cocina for years and it is easily one if our go to's when they are back in town visiting. Supporting locally owned small gems like this makes our visit all the better. The owner is well known in the community and gives back. Upon entering the establishment, you are offered samples of the wide array of choices. On our most recent visit, we decided to stick with the basics: tacos, rice, beans, sope, tostada, everything good as usual. Warm, inviting and just like abuelita's kitchen. Run, don't walk! Support local! read more

Great authentic Mexican food! I'd order from here regularly when I lived closer by. The enchiladas are really tasty and the hard shell beer tacos were just okay. I love the rice, but the beans are definitely pretty bland! read more

The food is good here. They have a variety of dishes & it taste homemade. I hadn't been here in years as I kind of forgot about them but decided to come in for lunch & got the chicken enchiladas with mole sauce & let me say, it was delicious!! It was more of the sweeter side than the spicy side but still tasted very good. It came with a side of rice & beans. The portions were perfect! The lady that took my order was friendly and suggested the enchiladas as I mentioned that I wanted something with mole. She was smiling & gave a welcoming vibe. They have indoor seating & have plenty of tables. I noticed that after we arrived, more customers started to get there as it was lunch time. I would definitely come again & plan to try the menudo. read more

I had been wanting to try this place out for a while after I received a recommendation. The restaurant is small and gives you Mexican barrio vibes, the abuelas and abuelos are there eating their pozole and catching up on the chisme. They have all the food laid out, so you can easily see what you want to order. I ordered the plate with 2 antojitos and guisado for $15.99. I thought it would be cheaper to be honest, but this is pretty average for San Diego. I had the carnitas, beef taco, empanada. Overall, everything was good the serving size is pretty is reasonable, but the empanada is the one that I would not re-order. It was purely masa and it barely had any meat. The service was great, I was helped immediately and they have a parking lot. I would come back to this place to try out their other guisados and soups read more

Eat here about every other week! We order on postmates most of the time because its our pj breakfast treat on a Saturday or Sunday morning. But I have gone to the location a few times. we order the enchiladas with cheese, pozole, tacos, and chilaquiles. All soo good. Prices are reasonable. The plates come with rice and beans and the red salsa is good. I have been referred to this spot by many people for pozole. I am picky when it comes to pozole, I prefer homemade. But when I craved it once I ordered it and now its a part of every order. The other food we try reminds me of the way my grandma used to make them. From the enchiladas to the hard shelled tacos! The nostalgia in every bite keeps me coming back! The food is consistently good which I think is important as someone who eats here as often as I do. read more

Horrible food. Service is unacceptable. I ordered their Caldo the res. It had no flavor. It tasted like boiled meat. Large chunks of beef, and vegetables very chunky Horrible!!! Its a cafeteria style service and awful food for a " Mexican restaurant " read more

I rather go to a taqueria (taco shop) or any other place to eat. The service lady was nice but the guisado of bistec didn't have any flavor the rice was ok and i would say was only thing that was good was sopes that were freshly made. The beans weren't that great either and tortillas are not made freshly there. read more

I decided to try Super Cocina again and it was no bueno. Soggy chile relleno. Also, a new and amazing version of a chile relleno= NO CHEESE IN THE CHILE!!! ??? I asked the girl if I could have shredded lettuce and crema on the chile. She said yes, but it was no. Next I asked for a small of some pork in a spicy sauce. The sauce was good, only I said "pork" and she said, " yes", that's what's in the sauce. Get it home: it's all knuckle, fat, grizzle. ,,....great. The chili poblanos in the sour cream was decent except that they didn't have it properly stored within a hot insert, so it was just sitting out looking lifeless. Ok, I did order a small, and nuked it when I got home, it was B- / ok. She never properly shut the container to the chile relleno, so it was leaking everywhere and pooling in the bag - soon to get all over my vehicle : []... She put the onion and cilantro, two containers with no lids. Great! Were you raised in a barn??? Honestly, the whole thing was a $21 dollar disaster. Sad: when the father ran it the chile rellenos where fresh, they had cheese in them! They had a slightly crisp / recently cooked texture with a good ranchero sauce. Not any more. What I got was a slop mess that ended up in the garbage. read more

My first time here, and I gotta say the place was clean and the aroma of food was pouring out the doors. I was greeted by 3 women who were very friendly and welcoming, they offered any samples of food items that we were interested in. I decided to go with the 3 beef hard shell tacos and aside of rice and beans. As soon as I took a bite it was absolutely delicious..! The tacos were crisp to perfection and the beef inside was so moist and tender, with every bite it just got better and better... this is like home cooked meals here, "just like grandma used to make " Im definitely returning. read more

The place was. I had a nice crowd. The food is cafeteria style, and the options seemed a little limited. The presentation left a little to be desired, and you had to bus your own food to the table and fill your own drinks. As it was my first time there, I had to ask a lot of questions, and the staff wasn't very helpful. This is very much a self-serve restaurant with no-frills. They do not offer anything without charging for it. I was served rice and beans with Braised pork rib tips that had a very small bit of meat on them. I thought I had gotten the pork chunks. The staff failed to explain to me what they were. And when I asked the staff, is this what the plate included? She said you have to order two entrees. Believing that this was the case I did so even if I only wanted one. After I have completed my order, I realized I could have only had one entree, the rice and beans and saved four dollars. For the second entree, she recommended the beef with cactus, and so I chose that. My plate came with three corn tortillas in a separate back, which was nice. When I got to the table, I sat down and the food was lukewarm at best. The chili concarne pork rib tips were somewhat spicy, but had no flavor whatsoever and they had more cartilage than meat. Which made them really unsavory. The beef and nopales was just as bland and I did not enjoy it. However the beef was very tender. The beans and Rice were standard, but again, they were quite bland and not what I would have expected given the reviews of this restaurant. The corn tortillas were warm, soft and delicious. My plate was $18 plus tax, which made it about $20. For $20, it was not worth the trip to go and visit this place. You can do a lot better at any location named ending with bertos. They did have an abundance of parking, which was nice. read more

As a strong hater of cafeteria style food (I won't even go to Chipotle) this is the only place that I make an exception for. I'm going to have to dock points because it's usually hot as hell in there and there's flies but the food is so good I try not to see the flies on purpose. It's really been a problem because in the area it's fly Central you can't really stop it. I love their chicken mole and their chili relleno are the best there's also that poblano with pomegranates that keeps increasing in price dramatically but there's a lot of good choices he'll let you sample anything I like that cactus stew too read more

I visited super Cocina about 6 years ago because I believe this place has the best Pozole. Every time I come back to San Diego, I secretly wish we pass by this area of town so I can come and grab a bowl. Environment - fun and simple mom and pop restaurant. The food is visible in the back where your eyes can feast first. There has been seating both indoors and outdoors ever since the pandemic. Service - everyone is soooo nice! I saw some customers taking a long time with their orders but the workers were sooo helpful! Food - I come for the Pozole so I HIGHLY recommend. It's not oily like other restaurants make it and the pork is super tender. I have also gotten the tacos dorados which was okay. And a beef empanada which was good! I would recommend this place to anyone and any of their food too! read more

They have a number of soups too and I love the pozole! Besides what you see, they have some menu items like enchiladas or quesadillas. Breakfast options are available also. Such a delicious spot for the most comforting dishes. read more
