Went to watch my great nephew play football in Modesto and tried this restaurant close to the Jr college. This place was nice, you walk up to order and pay and they bring you your food. Bathroom was very clean and the food was so good. I ordered asada tacos and they were so good and tasty. My dad ordered the same but he wanted rice and beans. When a 93 year old Mexican man compliments the beans, you know they are good! I highly recommend! read more

This time it was with my bride on a Saturday night. Busy but not too bad. Overall, they seemed to be missing a manager who could steer the young ladies to clear the tables and serve versus chatting away! We decided to share and started with a Cadillac Margarita and chicken taquitos. Both excellent. Our chicken fajita arrived properly timed - thank you Karla! However, even though there were enough chicken and fillings, there were only three tortillas - and they knew that we were sharing. A thoughtful restaurant would have added a fourth or at least asked. The $2 charge for extra salsa seemed tacky. Charge me a couple dollars more for fajitas and I wouldn't care, but ... Overall good experience. read more

Stopped by this place hoping for some solid Mexican food, but honestly, I left feeling a bit disappointed -- First off, the prices here are way higher than they should be for what you're getting. I don't mind paying more for great food, but $13 for two taquitos split in half feels like a lot to me. The food itself was... fine. Not bad, but nothing special. Drink we're ok, a lot of ice and not even fill to the top when delivered. Service was friendly enough, and the atmosphere is nice -- I'll give them that. However plenty of better, more authentic (and more reasonably priced) Mexican spots around in my opinion. read more

We tried this restaurant because we love Mexican food and wanted to sit outside with our dogs. Wow the food is incredible! The chips and salsa are insanely good, so was the guacamole. I order their crazy salad with shrimp and the shrimp were big and succulent and perfect to seasoned. Very savory and delicious. The dressing was perfect. My husband got their burrito bowl with chicken. I took a bite and it was so good. He cleaned his plate. My sister got the quesadilla roll and said it was delicious, my dad got the Hermanas trio tacos and he said they were amazing, and my mom got the Hermanas salad which she has orders before and loves. My family and I all can't wait to come back! Service was fabulous and the outdoor patio is perfect for nice weather days with our dogs. read more

I came to Cocina Hermanas for a farewell dinner for a teammate. I appreciate that our reserved table was nicely set with chips, salsa, and water already placed on the table. As for the food, I thought it was good! I'd definitely come back. We had the appetizer sampler plate which was absolutely delicious. I specifically enjoyed the birria empanadas & the quesadilla roll. For my meal, I ordered the Hermanas Salad with Shrimp -- It was a very simple and light meal, I honestly expected a bit more flavor in their jalapeño avocado dressing but it was still good enough for me to finish my meal. We then wrapped up our night with their sampler dessert, which was delicious too! Of all the items on the plate, I'd say I really enjoyed the churros which were nice & crunchy. Ambiance is cute, great place for a lunch date! However, it can get pretty warm in there. I didn't see a fan or A/C being run so definitely be prepared for the space to get a little warm if you visit in the Summer. As for service, I docked down a star because it could have been better. Our water cups were only refilled once over the few hours we were there chatting & eating. Fortunately, I brought my water bottle and at some point had to drink from that because our cups weren't getting refilled for a while. Overall, I'd highly recommend the two sampler plates for anyone that wants a little taste of everything. read more

Cocina Hermanas - Dessert Sampler - Mexican Near Me - Danville, California

Cocina Hermanas specializes in what I'd endearingly label Millenial Mexican, Mexican fare with an upscale twist and a hint of gentrification (unsurprising given the prime perch in downtown Danville). It's always reliably uncrowded which makes it a frequent fallback for my family when indecision strikes. Upon seating, you're promptly greeted with cloth napkins, water in proper cups, and a bowl of freshly fried chips accompanied by salsa. I will say that their salsas are sublime, bright, tomato-forward, clearly house-made, and fresh. My usual order is the steak fajitas. Unlike the obnoxious, attention-seeking fajitas at Chili's, their fajitas are tender, flavorful, and portioned enough to share depending on your appetite and diplomacy. I will say that they don't arrive sizzling, maybe just sizzling in spirit more than in temperature. I feel like the cast iron pan that houses the steak serves a mostly theatrical role since the fajitas are far from searing hot. A ceramic plate would probably do the job just as well minus the pretense. Don't get the martinis though. As for the martini: passable, not praiseworthy. But let's be fair, it's a Mexican restaurant, not a cocktail bar. You come here for salsa not the shaken spirits. The service is also great, but the prices are a bit steeper. A solid restaurant for those who want to splurge a bit more on Mexican cuisine. read more

Came here for HH before a local event. Initially we ordered Palomas, however they ran out of their well tequila and wasn't available for HH. We ended up getting a pitcher of margaritas. It was strong and tasted great. We ordered some bites as well but devoured them before i could snap a pic! The quesadilla roll was the best on the HH menu! read more

We came here on weekend for a friend's birthday. The restaurant was able to accommodate a big group. The atmosphere and vibe of the place is very festive and inviting. The staff were super friendly and accommodating to our group. The menu is very modern Mexican cuisine. I was able to get the tacos and that was pretty favorable. The place is definitely a bit on the pricer side. The desserts were also pretty good too. read more

4++ Restaurant located in the Downtown Danville area that specializes in Mexican food. They focus on simple traditional technique and source with high quality ingredients. Depending on where you are in the restaurant, the vibe here is lively and fun (closer to the bar) or a little more intimate (lighting is low, etc.). The folks here were very friendly and attentive. Came here with a pretty sizeable group (9 of us) and had reservations. So we were all seated right when we got there. They have some pretty amazing sounding dishes on their menu, but I wasn't super hungry, so for myself, I just had the Baja Trio (grilled fish, shrimp, and mole tacos). I thought the tacos were really tasty and got to also try some of the shrimp ceviche as well as a couple of the other apps. Definitely a great spot for groups or even if you want to go to the bar to grab a nice meal and watch some sports. Parking - this area could get a little busy, but we were able to easily find parking at a lot nearby and just had to walk about a block. read more

first time to Cochina Hermanas with my best friend. Luckily, it was warm and cozy inside. Food ended up being really good, I would probably get their tacos again. Service was not bad, they should slow down picking up plates, or waitress ended up, spilling the salsa on the floor, got a towel to clean it all up and push it under the table. read more

Great Mexican food and service always. Love that the food doesn't leave you with a heavy feeling when you are done. Cocktails are great too!

The food was ok and then my family got food poisoning LOL. Oh well I guess My family booked a late weekend lunch to celebrate my bf's bday. When we arrived, we found that a reservation was very much unnecessary as it was totally empty. Welp. And even then, service was slow and very curt. Maybe they didn't want us to show up? Overall, food was unmemorable. Not particularly flavorful and a bit dry. But then... I'm pretty sure there was an inedible object in my bf's complimentary ice cream... It was a tough, bland, spongy piece that was totally out of place, about the size of a finger. It didn't melt. We asked if the ice cream had banana bits in it, ANYTHING in it, and-- nope, it was supposed to be just vanilla... Um... It would've been a nice gesture... Don't think it got comped either... A few hours later, my family all got food poisoning at home. Aaaaah. Happy bday to my bf or whatever read more

First time at cocina hermanas and it was amazing!! My bf loved it so much he wants to come back already. The aguachile/ceviche plates were the best filled with so much flavor. I don't think I've ever tried aguachile this tasty before. The shrimps were fresh! We met the chef and he was so sweet. You can tell he really has a passion for these dishes and you cannot find them like that anywhere else in the Bay Area. I love how much outdoor seating they have, there's enough space for a big group. read more

I hate to leave a bad a review so I'm not going to because I'm sure there are a few variables at play, like paying high rent for their corner spot. 3.5 stars. Lovely place, great ambiance, all the makings of a great spot, except there's one giant detail that needs addressing. The prices here are too high for the portion sizes we receive. Paying a higher dollar amount isn't the issue it's that we don't receive the bang for our buck. The food does taste good, with all that said, but you won't leave here feeling full ordering your 1 entre. As a quick example, the taco platter should come with 5 tacos instead of 3 for the amount you pay and the size of the tacos.. the ceviche was heavenly but I mean come on ni pa una muela ! read more

Last night we wanted Mexican food but we've been disappointed with the restaurants in Danville. We decided to try Cocina Hermanas after not going there for almost a year because of disappointing service and food. Last night the food and service were outstanding! The restaurant even looked remodeled since we were last there. The salsa and guacamole were spicy and flavorful. My husband had the shrimp fajitas with 5 large shrimp and cooked perfectly. I had the chicken enchiladas with mole sauce. It was so good, I was craving it again today. We had several Cadillac margaritas, which were delicious. We will definitely be back and so happy to have a great Mexican restaurant so close to home. read more

Stopped by after the Hot August Car Show. Had the Agua Chile de Atun Fresco (ahu tuna, avocado, mango, cucumber, orange & sesame seeds) & the Baja Trio lettuce wraps (grilled shrimp, roasted fish & campechano (mixed meat). Both delicious! Nice, comfortable restaurant with lots of outdoor seating, and nice, efficient staff! read more

Best service and best food ever!!! Yuremi was so kind and provided the best service !

The menu to me seemed a bit small and a bit pricey , but after we started our chips and salsa that changed in a hurry . Unique is the best way to describe everything we had . The salsa was remarkably fresh and tangy , we had the Hermanas taco trio (carne asada, birria and chicheron) omg the flavors were so intricate and purposely chosen, I believe there will never be a more satisfying dish of taco's . We also had the greatest seafood taco trio , as unique as the other trio . I can honestly say , not knowing what to expect here ended up being the best dining experience in a long time . Our server was great and as attentive non stop. The ambiance on the patio is out of this world comfortable and relaxing . If you are anywhere in the Bay Area , go way out of your way to find this spot . I could go on for hours about it , we live in Phoenix , or we would make this a weekly adventure , for now it will be part our ritual when visiting family here and in wine country . I never thought I would have such amazing and creative Mexican food as this in Danville . read more

Came back to my favorite place! Received the best customer service by Yuremi. She was constantly making sure my friends and I were good. Very friendly!!

Thank you Cocina Hermanas and Nicole. We had our work holiday party there last Friday, and everyone truly enjoyed the food, atmosphere, and service.

We did takeout from here, and we were all happy campers with our food. Ordering was easy and the food arrived hot and fresh. What I ordered: + Rollitos de Quesadilla - we shared these fried quesadilla rolls and they were delicious. The outside was crispy but not hard like a taquito. Inside there's meat and melty cheese. + Diablo taco trio - 3 tacos including spicy shrimp, roasted fish, and chicken tinga. I really liked the fish and chicken tacos, but the shrimp was too spicy for me. The fish and chicken tacos had nice toppings like cabbage, cucumbers, and pickled onions, but there was no topping on the shrimp taco to give some relief from the spiciness. Would not order this combo again. read more

Beautiful restaurant with great ambiance. We went there on a busy Friday evening for a birthday celebration. Great menu, just wish they had more vegetarian options. The drinks were decent. The Horchata though was the best I have had in a while, very creamy and just the right amount of sweet and cinnamon. The garlic shrimp and the fish tacos were excellent. The burrito bowl was good and the vegetarian tacos with jackfruit were just ok. The service was friendly and nice. read more

Still on the hunt for those red sauce enchiladas & I may have found them, just scrumptious. So the meals started with chips & salsa, followed by an order of the cauliflower & drinks all around. The waitress made the suggestion of trying their house cocktail of resfresco de pepino - refreshing, good flavor & tasty. One drink came out smoking, cool to see, even yummier to drink. For the mains there was an order of the chile verde, chicken enchiladas done in red mole & an order of the enchiladas in chile ancho sauce; all past the yummy test. The chicken in both sets of enchiladas was prepared traditionally, shredded. The chile verde was cubed, yet the pork was cooked perfectly. Onto dessert, this was the only let down; we ordered the churros, they were a tad too dense, always thought churros are crunchy on the outside & fluffy on the inside, not the case here. Service was efficient, welcoming & our waitress made good suggestions. If you asked a food runner for something, an aqua fresca, they were on it, went & got it. We'll definitely be back, thus far love the food. read more

Disappointing first experience! 1. After our order arrived, we had three failed attempts to flag down a server for salt/pepper and tortillas. Nobody came to check on us and by the time we received tortillas for our fajitas, the veggies and chicken were cold. No apology, just an excuse that they are really busy - note that our reservation was 5:45 so pretty early still and restaurant was not busy and we were done eating by 7. 2. Grilled veggies in the fajitas were flavorless, full of what tasted like boiled cauliflower, barely any other veggie and not seasoned. Chicken was the same and dry. 3. Elote arrived cold 4. Cauliflower appetizer was good 5. Salsa and chips were good 6. Fish Tacos and jackfruit tacos were decent but could have used some salsa and guacamole and should come with beans/rice Once I finally flagged someone down and told them everything wrong, they made some effort but would have been nice if they just paid attention from the get go. read more

Disappointing experience today. My family of 7 tried to eat here but were turned away as soon as we walked in the door. I had been on Open Table shortly before we arrived and saw there were multiple reservation slots for tonight but you had to put down a credit card which I wasn't comfortable with so we decided to walk in instead. The place only had three or four tables occupied and a few people at the bar and it was only 7:10pm (50 min from closing). The bartender took one look at our group (4 adults and three teens) and told us they were understaffed and weren't taking any more customers. We have never taken our family here to eat so this was a terrible first impression. The crazy thing is I looked back on Open Table as soon as we left and there was still a 7:15 and a 7:30 reservation for 7 available. Made no sense. It seemed like the bartender just wanted to go home. I can see a larger group being as issue if we walked in 5 or 10 minutes before closing, but 50 minutes? We ended up going to Piatti's instead and had a lovely dinner with amazing service and a delicious dinner. I guess it worked out for us but still disappointed by the unfriendly and dismissive experience at Cocina Hermanas. If you don't want customers after 7pm, then you should say your restaurant closes at 7pm. read more

Husband and I wanted to go to a good happy hour, and we found it here! Amazing deals on food and drinks, truly delicious food, and attentive service. Shout out to Kate at the bar! We shared a few of the tacos, the chicharron appetizer (I loved the flavor of this, meaty, salty goodness!!) and the quesadilla roll (cool presentation and nice crisp to it). We've been here for the dinner service and also had a good experience, but if you're ever a little hungry earlier, this is a must for an awesome happy hour! We'll for sure be back! I also loved the sprinkles on top of the froze, so cute. Thanks, Cocina Hermanas, for a nice date night. read more

Expensive, Americanized Mexican in downtown Danville. Located in the heart of downtown, Cocina Hermanas may be good for the yoga pants-wearing soccer moms of Danville, but does not bring anything remotely authentic to the table. Most dishes lack spice; all certainly lack heart. Served on warm corn tortillas, two carne asada tacos ($13!!) were mediocre at best. The accompanying side of black beans and rice ($4.50 additional) was simply that: some black beans and some rice dumped together in a bowl: no spices or salsa to make them tasty and no presentation to make them interesting. The disappointing chile relleno ($14) was simply a poblano pepper stuffed with the same tasteless rice and beans and some tomato sauce that could have come directly from a can. Topped with sour cream, the whole creation was sub-par. The saving grace was the chicharron ahumado (smoked pork belly, $15). Served with red onion, habanero salsa and radish atop flour tortillas it was delicious and decadent; the shining star in an otherwise dim universe of food. There is a reasonable selection of about six craft beers on tap and a great selection of premium and super-premium tequilas. Service was reasonably quick in general, but it did take a little while to get the check. Pro tip: The first round of chips and salsa is complimentary; another round will set you back $2.00. Cocina Hermanas is expensive Mexican food for rich gringos. read more

Our waitress asked to clear our table SIX times, while we were still eating, and even took our knives before we had a chance to use them.
