I stopped by on a Thursday evening around 8:30 PM, just as they were getting ready to close. A dear friend of mine wasn't feeling well, and I wanted to bring him something warm and comforting, so I decided to pick up some chicken tortilla soup. I'm so glad I did! My friend absolutely loved the soup and said it was delicious and exactly what he needed. What made the experience even better was the wonderful customer service. The young lady who helped me was incredibly kind, friendly, and welcoming, even though it was almost closing time. It's always refreshing to find a place that not only serves great food but also treats its customers with genuine kindness. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for delicious food and excellent service. I'll certainly be back! read more

We'd noticed Cocina 85 out of the corner of our eye several times but just never got around to trying 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! read more

If maximalist color therapy and comfort food had a love child, it would be Cocina 85. From the second you walk in, the place is an entire mood ...vibrant Día de los Muertos murals, neon-colored chairs, playful sayings across the walls, and a fun energy that somehow feels both trendy and comforting at the same time. 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! read more

I wanted to hit one more spot for a burrito before I returned to Vegas. Covina 85 had great reviews and I was in the area getting gas at Costco so I decided to try it. The ambience is fun. There are colorful paintings and decor. The music was great and the service was prompt and friendly. I chose the chili verde burrito and a michelada. The beer was cold and hit the spot. The burrito was huge, smothered in sauce, and exactly what I hoped it would be. There was a lot of tasty filling and I ended up taking a lot of it home where I'm about to chow down after my 3.5 hour drive home. I liked the salsa that came as an appetizer as well. It had a bit of a smoky flavor and was the perfect spice level for chips and salsa. I will definitely keep this spot in mind on my next trip. read more

The food here is authentic! The service was very good and the dining area is nice, with various paintings of famous Mexican artists/actors. The flan and ceviche need a little more flavor, but the all of the other traditional plates were very good. I happened to be in the area and decided to stop by to try the food. I would definitely come here again. The owner/staff were very welcoming. read more

I went to try this restaurant in the past, all was good. As seen on my previous picture from months ago, my plate looked good! Today I decided to come back and to my surprise, my favorite plate has changed for the worst. I asked for the red chilaquiles with asada for an extra $5. This is what they gave me for meat. I'm not lying to you. I had taken one bite of the meat and this is the remainder. I asked both of the waitresses what's up with this? Where is the meat they used to add to the chilaquiles? One of them said they had "complaints" about the meat and so that's why they switched up to this little piece of meat, cause it's "better quality" and the other waitress said that's their new style. I told both of them that had I known that this tiny piece of meat was going to cost me $5, then I would've not asked to be added. I was disappointed. read more

I was killing time after a workout while waiting for a friends flight to come in. I decided to hit yelp to find something good to eat and Cocina 85 came up with a 4.9 so I decided to give it a try. First impressions are it's well lit, clean, and vibrant. I was immediately greeted by and asked if I was dining in or to go. I chose a table and was promptly served warm, fresh tortilla chips and salsa (excellent). Whenever im checking out a new Mexican place I always go for tacos so I can try the most meats. I went with Baja Fish, Baja Fish, Carne Asada, Al Pastor, and Birria. The fish taco was loaded with two large pieces of deep fried fish (guessing pollock or cod) and the shrimp taco was loaded with battered plump shrimp. I was about 80% full before I even got to my street tacos. All three were delicious and there was enough beefy consome to dip all three types of tacos. The waiter/cashier was also the owner/spouse of the owner and he was very friendly and attentive. Overall a 5 star experience and I'll be back!!! Vegetarian notes: They make their corn tortillas in house without using Manteca. Refried beans do not have Manteca, but the rice uses chicken broth. read more

We ate here several times when in the area for a wedding. Great food and service! Highly recommended

The food was delish. The service was outstanding! I will certainly go back and will recommend this restaurant to others!

Since moving to SoCal from NorCal it's been a process to find places yummy to eat, so I did a Lillie searching online read some reviews and came up with this place as an option to try...the criteria was to have both enchiladas and al pastor, not always easy round here. And I will say the food was yummy, great flavor!!! And I wish my tummy could have eaten more but it was so filling I had to tap out. Definitely will be back and gonna do it on a totally empty stomach so I can enjoy more...I hope . Oh and one last thing I really loved about this place beside great food and great service was the free chips and salsa to start..most places in NorCal do that but down here not so much!! Definitely a win read more

Where do I even begin? First and foremost I can't say enough great things about the AMAZING customer service. We were constantly being checked on by our Waitress and fellow workers there too. Our drinks were amazing and a really great size. It felt like we were having a Mexican Thanksgiving with the amount of portions that you get for your dollar. Let's just say we needed to expand the size of the table for everything to fit. The Aquachiles were extremely fresh and tasty. We ordered the Diablo Shrimp which was super spicy. Proceed with caution. -Muy caliente. The Garlic shrimp was so yummy with such a great flavor too. Ordered the pozole and that came in a good size if you're looking to have a hearty soup. Lastly we tried the carnitas burrito which was GIGANTIC!!! If you like mole you gotta try the Mole Wings.-Order them extra crispy and you'll thank me for it. Definitely coming back the next time we come back to town. Thank you again for the lovely experience. read more

Clean, well kept interior. Really enjoyed looking at all the hand painted murals. Bright and inviting. Found this spot while looking for Baja style fish tacos. Parking is plentiful in the front. You order first at the counter with their tri-fold restaurant style menus. I didn't see any paper to-go menus so made a note to take photos for reference later. Ordered the combination #13 for the enchilada, chile relleno, and taco. For $1.50 more I got the Baja style fish taco. For my enchilada I got shredded beef with red sauce. It took maybe 10 minutes total from ordering to heading out the door. I had the chance to visit the women's restroom which was tidy and clean. The position of the toilet paper roller is quite low so not sure if that may be an issue for folks who cannot reach very low. Overall, the chile relleno was my favorite part of the dish. Great batter and flavor. My lease favorite was the Baja style fish taco. I feel the battered fish needed more salt as it was quite plain on its own. The portion of the taco is quite large so I can see why they go for $6.99 each. Noticed that they have fried ice cream here. If we come back to dine in I'd give the desserts a try. PS - Not pictured because I ate them all on the way home are the complimentary chips. Large, crispy chips and unsalted which is hard to find! They were so good. I'd buy bags of those if they had them for sale. read more

Service was great. We were welcomed in and treated very well. All questions were answered cheerfully. Needs were anticipated. Food was fresh and tasty. We couldn't finish everything that we ordered. The shrimp ceviche stood out. Loved the flavor. Would go again if we are ever in the area. read more

Great customer service and hospitality! The food was priced well for the portions served. We tried the menudo, and the broth had really good flavor on its own -- it didn't need any extra seasoning, but of course the oregano, chile, lime, cilantro, and onion were a nice bonus. We also ordered a wet burrito and it was well-proportioned and filling. The vibe is cozy, and since we went on a Monday morning, the wait was ideal with plenty of parking available. Definitely worth coming back to try more of the menu! read more

Great spot! Stopped to wait out traffic and grab an early dinner. Got the 2 enchiladas combo (it's my go to when trying a New Mexican joint). Did not disappoint at all!

The food is incredibly flavorful, the store is very well decorated and has great service.

Amazing hospitality! First time trying this place and the food was flavorful. We were served chips and salsa like many restaurants. I think the salsa was ok. But then again, I like salsa a bit spicier. Food was cooked and arrived in a timely manner. The waiter was very friendly. I got a Molcajete with shrimp and it was very fulfilling and flavorful. My boyfriend got Tampiqueria with a chille relleno. Very delicious also. We finished our meal with some churros. I haven't found a restaurant that has churros that I like but Cocina85 churros were very delightful. I would come again to eat here! read more
