    Gorditas
    Tina H.

    We have been driving by this place forever ever! It is on the corner all by it's self small and looks a little lonely. It has dine in take out and a drive-thru. We finally decided to stop in a give them a try. We were greeted with a smile and promptly seated with our menus. They make all of your regular mexican food. Like burritos, enchiladas, tortas, hard shell tacos, soft street tacos, sopes, gorditas, rice, and beans. They also have pizza, wings, hamburgers, fries for those that don't want mexican food. Now this review is on the Torta and Gorditas we had. The Asada was good and not old. The beans and rice were homemade and tasty. The gorditas were good and homemade. The only thing is all of it lacked a little salt. But nothing I can't add myself We will return to sample other menu items. I will keep U posted :)

    The fucking green sauce they gave us  like what is this???

    Their tacos are so good but order them without salsa because the salsa is really hot.

    Excellent food i like to get the birria burrito and it never disappoints. Friendly workers, decent parking, and good portions for the price.

    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!

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.

It was a World Cup game day, and she seemed to be responsible for an entire side of the restaurant by herself. The service delays felt more like a management and staffing issue than a reflection of her effort. We were seated at 6:04 PM, and our drink order wasn't taken until 6:32 PM. While I understand restaurants get busy, it seemed like management should have anticipated the increased demand and staffed accordingly. Unfortunately, there were several issues throughout our meal. The chips brought to the table tasted a bit rancid, and the napkins wrapped around our silverware appeared to have some kind of dried residue on them that looked like tamarind paste. I ordered the birria plate, and roughly 40% of the meat was fat, making much of the portion inedible. I also waited over 15 minutes for limes and never received the cilantro I requested. My husband ordered the carnitas plate and was surprised by the appearance of the meat--it was very pale and almost looked like chicken. He said it lacked flavor and was disappointing overall. My parents ordered the molcajete, which arrived without the shrimp that was supposed to be included. At that point, we knew it would likely take another 10-20 minutes to flag someone down, so they decided to just enjoy what was served. They actually said the flavor was quite good despite the missing ingredient. Overall, the experience was highly disappointing, especially considering the long waits and food quality issues. I don't blame our waitress, who was clearly stretched far too thin. My frustration is directed more toward management for not properly preparing and staffing the restaurant for such a busy event.
