Honestly my party and I felt very rushed. I understand it is a very popular new place in Coronado but they rush you in and they rush you out. The staff is super friendly and attentive, they are all amazing . The aesthetics are beautiful and the view is gorgeous, but they are lacking in the food department. I feel because the whole experience is so rushed they don't take their time in making the food the same way the other locations make it. I've been to all of the other locations and unfortunately this was the one who disappointed me. We were there celebrating a birthday and they brought the dessert menu and asked the birthday girl what she wanted but never said it wasn't complimentary. I feel they should definitely say it's not before offering the dessert menu. read more

We arrived at 8:15 am just after the establishment opened and were walk-in no reservations as we were a party of 5. Because we had a dog we were seated at patio, no problem! We love outdoor dining! But DAMN we were seated by the RADIATOR? There was only one other party in the entire patio so we asked if we could be moved by the edge of the patio out of the sun and better view at least. Hostess said no, because of server assignment we had to stay at the table by the radiator and in the sun. But. There. Were. Only. TWO GROUPS. INCLUDING US!!! Other people started rolling in by 9:15-9:30 when we finished dining. Our party was really bothered by the morning sun so we begged a waiter to change seats with patio cover since it was 75F at 8:30am and were finally moved to more shade but next to trash bins. Fine. Just give my baby some shade omg Every single thing is heavily upcharged on the menu and sides are very expensive! They walked around with pastries that you can easily get from a panderia but marked up 2x. Food was OK but child menu needs some attention. Please don't pre-dress kids menu. There are only two options for kids menu, egg-fruit-French toast OR pancakes pre-seasoned with syrup. We are very used to syrup put on the side so carbs don't get soggy or overly sweetened. Kids are VERY PICKY with texture and intense flavors so this was unnecessarily difficult for us. Food was portioned well but nothing stood out. We've been to Mexico many times and were very disappointed with this breakfast. Cocina 35 doesn't do it for us for ambiance, food, and service. 3 entrees, 1 kids meal, 2 coffees, 1 conche bread, 1 Fresca $125. Price isn't awful but for the taste of food it isn't great. Not portioned for leftovers. read more

Karina took great care of us from start to finish. Super friendly, attentive, and always smiling. She made us feel welcome and never rushed, and everything came out just right. Service like hers makes the whole experience better. Highly recommend asking for Karina if you're dining here. read more

Cocina 35 - Breakfast in Coronado - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Coronado, California

Overhyped experience went with a party of 8 we had reservations already and it was amazing group of people to enjoy breakfast with. The 90 minute policy we were informed once we sat down which in my opinion it should count the moment they bring the food, but they do bring out the food room temperature already almost like its already prepped, the food had a basic taste nothing more impressive than any other place we could have gone, the moment you start emptying your plates they start taking them, and even tho we were still in our 90 min period they started cleaning out the entire table and brought the receipt they charged us double for the churros cajeta which we only ordered one and they ended up bringing us the incorrect receipt which it was such an inconvenience to wait after all the rush they put you through. read more

Cocina 35 - Chilaquiles d chorizo - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Coronado, California

A fantastic spot for brunch! The build-your-own chilaquiles option is a definite win for us, and the drink selection is outstanding. While there are several other locations for this restaurant, this one is our favorite by far, mainly because the view is simply unbeatable. read more

Went here for Sunday Brunch. We had reservations and were seated promptly. When you walk in, you walk past a display of all of the dishes offered and the hostess explained them. That was a nice touch. The restaurant is ascetically beautiful. The big pink tree inside is amazing. We were seated outside and the views are EVERYTHING! The menu is limited. It's a chilaquiles restaurant for the most part. I actually ordered the mini fried quesadillas. Let me just say that all of the food was EXCELLENT! Very flavorful. I was impressed. The drinks were also very good. I enjoyed our brunch. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is because our food didn't all come out at the same time so that was not good. They also need to have some soft music playing or something to up the vibe. But other than that, thumbs up! read more

Before you read this, I'm not one to complain about service but this place was TERRIBLE. Where do I start... Every waitress has a bad attitude. From the start they're already kicking you out and only come to ask how you're doing when it's time to bring the check. They messed up all of our orders. We had asked for no onion on one plate, they put onion. My mother in law found a HAIR IN THE FOOD! they did bring her out a new plate but they messed up her order TWICE! we waited for her food basically the whole time we were there. When we asked to speak with someone about how unsatisfied we were with the service and food the manager asked to give us a discount, MIND YOU it's not the price that's the issue, she never once seemed to cared we simply weren't happy with the SERVICE. If you're trying this place please keep your expectations low on service but you will get cute pictures. That's all that matter to this place, the aesthetics and not the actual food / service. read more

The food was amazing! They serve very generous portions and everything tasted delicious. The service was outstanding--everyone was so kind and attentive. The view made the whole experience even better, and the restaurant itself is super clean and absolutely beautiful for pictures. My favorite part was the café de olla... truly one of the best I've ever had. Everything was perfect. I will definitely be coming back! read more

The staff was incredible from the second we walked in and the service at the table was top-notch. If you're craving Mexican food with a different twist, this place is definitely the one to check out. Plus, the views while having brunch are absolutely stunning. You should totally give it a try! read more

I made a reservation for breakfast and I needed to update it and when I go to my OpenTable, it says I have to call the restaurant. When you call the restaurant. It is a recording and no one answers. They don't want any contact with the customer and now my reservation is less than 24 hours away so I can't do anything or contact the restaurant. It just says they will charge my card. $15 for a person if I tried to change it Very poor customer service. They are just interested in getting people in and not actually communicating with the customer. read more

The ambiance is very nice. There is seating outside on the patio which is nice to see the SD skyline. The service is good but server didn't follow exactly what everyone wanted but maybe she didn't hear. The food came out fast and we were a party of 9. The food was good. I ordered El Patron which was good. I am from El Paso,TX so I am very picky with my chilaquiles. The French toast was good. read more

Cocina 35 - El Patron - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Coronado, California

Delicious chilaquiles with stunning bay views! If you're searching for the perfect combination of incredible chilaquiles and breathtaking bay views, this restaurant is it! From the moment we sat down in their dining room overlooking the bay, we knew we would be in for a spectacular breakfast! Hands down the Cafe De Olla here is by far my favorite and personally speaking, the best! The location is in Coronado next to the Ferry Landing. We arrived at 845 and there was a minimal amount of customers and they took us in right away. The morning rush came through around 930. We ordered "El Patron!" And The chilaquiles and the Cajeta toast were phenomenal. The Portions were a pretty good size. The tortilla chips stayed crispy despite being generously coated in a rich, flavorful salsa roja. Topped with avocado, sweet onions, cilantro and queso, every bite was delish. The Hostess along with our servers were friendly and attentive, making the experience even better. Thank you Carlos and Vania for being so attentive. Whether you're a foodie or just looking for a memorable dining spot for breakfast or lunch and gorgeous views, this place is a must-visit! read more

Brunching with my babe was a hit!!! I'm probably the last person in town who's tried this amazing spot. San Diego offers 3 local spots to enjoy the most crunchiest chilaquiles I've tried. The wait is gonna be expected if you go on a Sunday. No reservation are offered on the weekends. So, we started off with drinks a mexican mocha and espresso martini. The martini had some orange peel in it kind of threw the taste a little off for me. I will be trying the mimosa flight next time. From the looks of other tables they seemed super festive. Also want to try the horchata drink seemed pretty popular. I love to people watch and see what's on my neighbors tables. I didn't come to breakfast thinking I was going to be this impressed. I have had many chilaquiles and had already found my favorite. Picking which two flavors took me a minute. I was conflicted to the max. They have a good variety. I chose the Chipotle and habanero creamy cilantro. The order came with some beans with the most creamiest texture. My favorite were the habanero cilantro. The sauce is creamy green you wouldn't think so when you read habanero. The chips are crunchy and never soften. From start to finish they kept their crispy texture. The hubbys plate was also impressive. The one thing that stood out on his plate was that corn tamale. He got the green chilaquiles. Also good, but I've had green plenty of times elsewhere. I was told the salsa secreta are the best ones. Now I need to come back to try these. Place is legit !! Table with an ocean view on this beautiful sunny San Diego is just what I needed. Enjoy..... read more

I went her for a light breakfast. I was alone so I sat at the bar. The service was really good. Daisy helped me and provided excellent service. I wanted an appetizer to try some signature dishes but they all had meat. Because I don't eat meat it was hard to choose something. Not many choices. I just ate some scrambled eggs, beans and chips and salsas. Beans were too soupy. I also didn't like the pieces of chips. Like strips. The ambiance is beautiful. It was a pleasure experience otherwise. Oh I had a spritz. It was good! read more

We saw this COCINA 35 brunch last month while still in construction. This location used to be the Costa Azul Mexican restaurant. We were here in this area yesterday having dinner at an Italian restaurant when we saw a sign that Cocina 35 here in Coronado is now open. But it was close when we saw it, so i just took a picture from the outside of what it looks like inside. Then we came back today for breakfast to try them. We were seated right awaay by our Server Daisy , shes explain everything on the menu and shes very attentive to check on whatelse we might need while dinning . Wasn't as busy as the Downtown location or the Point Loma location, maybe because it's a weekday or not much of people know that they are already open since they just opened this Monday November 18, 2024. My wife and I tried their EL SINALOENSE and TORTA AHOGANA. Both were delicious and packed with good meats, especially the TORTA AHOGANA, filled with lots of meat, my wife chose the Pork for her protein for this Sandwich, it's a pretty Big sandwich. For our drinks we had CAFE OLLA & GUAYABANA NICE, the guayabana drink has a gin, St. Germain, Mexican Guava, lime, and house syrup . All in all dining experience today here in Coronado at Cocina 35 Brunch was good. Good food and plenty selection on their Menu , a spectacular view, and good staff . We also heard that thsi location is planning to have a Dinner time soon , and that is perfect . Having a dinner here at Cocina 35 will be a good addition to this location since this area is also a tourist spot . read more

I slipped on the beach and slashed my hand open. The closest place to go to a restroom was Cochina 35. As soon as I walked in Ariana the manager saw my hand ,ran and got me Band-Aids. Cleaned me up with alcohol and a bandaid and set me on my way. On the way out the door another service taught me and said I had blood over in my face and she helped me clean up my face. What amazing customer service for people who aren't even your customers! I plan to come back for sure sometime when I I'm going out to dinner! read more

Came here with 3 friends for brunch on Saturday at 12 pm. We had a reservation but were coming from the OC to meet with our friend who lives in SD, we got to the restaurant within the grace period time but they has already given our table away (our friend who drove had to wait for parking) because our party was missing one. We noticed that another party who was just waiting on one person was also in the same predicament, except they were a much larger party and it looked like they were celebrating something. They made us stand in a separate line while the remaining person showed up, while it is completely within their right to wait for all members of the party to arrive to seat them, I think it's good to be aware that they are VERY strict with this before you make a reservation as there is a chance you could get stuck waiting with a large party for a while if this happens to you. Once sat we got menus and ordered drinks, I ordered the La verde agua fresca which came in a pretty large cup, $8. It was refreshing and very good, more on the sweet side. For food I ordered the cazulela Sinaloense it was good, but it was lacking flavor. Thankfully our waitress was very nice to bring me salsa to add to it, but it wasn't very spicy. For what it was I think it's overpriced for the quantity/flavor. If you are unsure what you want to order they have a display of what the food on the menu actually looks like by the front entrance... Like some of the other reviews, we did feel abit rushed as other staff besides our waitress were coming to our table way too often to take things off the table. It's great to get things out of the way but they do not need to grab napkins and plates constantly while we are still eating. It was also pretty loud as people mostly come here for celebrations and for every birthday they crank up the volume and sing which is great if you're here for a celebration but not so much if you just want to have a casual time with friends/family. Overall if you're coming here you should probably try what they're known for which is the chilaquiles, and keep in mind the party-like ambiance of the restaurant. A plus if you sit at the tables near the windows, which overlooks the view on the Coronado pier. read more

Made a reservation for my sisters birthday and we absolutely loved it!! The food is delicious though I will recommend putting a little more sauce in their chilaquiles and the cafe de olla we ordered was pretty dark roast so if you don't like your coffee strong with some bitterness I'd skip it or just stick to the latte version and add as much piloncillo as you'd like as it's on the table. SERVICE: incredibly friendly and true example of what warm hospitality is! Every person we encountered welcomed us in. I wish I remembered the host! She went over the menu with us and was so sweet! Shout out to Diego the bartender to our personal waitress Karina, Emely, Marisol ... gracias familia! Honestly we found a staple to come to when we visit San Diego! So much love to you all and this establishment from SF! Also love that the bathroom was so clean and the availability of mouthwash was amazing. It's the thought into the details!
