Cocina Sinaloense is serving up authentic Sinaloa-style dishes, and you can truly taste the love in every bite The tostadas were a standout topped with slow-cooked shredded beef that was insanely tender, plus a rich consomé on the side. With the shredded lettuce, cotija cheese, sour cream, and avocado. It had the perfect mix of freshness and crunch To drink, I tried cebada for the first time and I'm officially a fan It tasted like a mix between horchata and chocolate milk... such a good combo If you love tortilla soup, RUN don't walk ‍ it's a limited-time special! The tender chicken, crispy chips, and toppings like avocado, purple onion, cotija, and sour cream made it an absolute dream The barbacoa was super tender and flavorful, served with pasta salad, beans, and handmade tortillas everything tasted homemade and comforting The pork tamale was giving soft and tender on the inside with a slightly crispy, pan-fried outer layer. And they did not skimp on the filling...lots of meat and potatoes The machaca had so much flavor I loved the veggies and potatoes, paired with beans and rice. It was hearty and satisfying The ceviche was bright, fresh, and citrusy right up my alley! I would've loved a little more spice, but the homemade tostadas took it to another level Quesabirria tacos? Always a yes cheesy, tender, flavorful meat with consomé for dipping... say less paired with cheesy beans and rice = perfection For dessert, I got the corn elote soft, sweet, and delicious. I also tried it pan-fried and it gave caramel brûlée vibes so good! This spot feels like you're eating a home-cooked meal made with love and intention Great service and ambiance. "Las cosas buenas toman tiempo" and you can definitely taste that here read more

10/10 ! We were so hungry I didn't take a pic of our food , only our agua Frescas. I had the piña and I'm pretty sure it has guayaba in it! So good. Birria ramen 10/10 Papas con flautas 10/10 (via my 6 year old) Sopes 10/10 The salsa on the side 10/10 sooooo much flavor not that spicy! The ramen was perfect because the consume wasn't too thick like other places. (I wish I got tostadas or chips on the side) but it was delicious! ¡10/10! Teníamos tanta hambre que no tomé foto de la comida, solo de nuestras aguas frescas. Yo pedí la de piña y estoy casi segura de que tiene guayaba. ¡Buenísima! Birria ramen 10/10 Papas con flautas 10/10 (según mi niña de 6 años) Sopes 10/10 La salsa aparte 10/10, ¡con muchísimo sabor y no tan picante! El ramen estaba perfecto porque el consomé no estaba tan espeso como en otros lugares. (Ojalá hubiera pedido tostadas o chips aparte), pero estuvo delicioso. read more

Have come here a few times and it gets packed around 11 on the weekends so get here early. This time tried the machaca with rice and beans. Food had good taste and everything is made Sinaloa style. Service was good, very attentive and since it's small and gets crowded it does get a bit noisy but nothing crazy. Will be back again to try the quesabirria plate. read more

The food was great but prices are high and they charged us for chips and salsa. I don't like how they snuck it in It's like the waiter asked if we wanted chips and salsa. But did not specify about charging. If I knew she was gonna charge us for it I would've got something else who spends 6 dollars on chips and salsa. $61.31 for 2 Birria plates 1 can soda 1 coffee and a order of chips and salsa. read more

I came to this restaurant with a friend and ordered queso Birria tacos, and a melon Agua Fresca. The food was good, but the service was 100% not. I came with a friend and I felt like the entire time we were there we were being rushed to order.. within the first five minutes of being there we had several waitresses come up to us. I felt like they were being very pushy when it came to us ordering, and when we would ask questions, they gave us an attitude and even walked away from us when we were in the middle of talking. Before we finished eating they tried to take my friends plate with a good amount of food on it while we were still talking, and threw away our drink without asking if we were done. They kept staring at us the entire time, and even opened the door next to our table on a day that was pretty cold and brought in a draft. We literally had to put on our jacket. They were extremely rude. Would never go again. read more

Came in for Sunday dinner, we found a table right away. Came here to see if they had authentic flavor and they did not disappoint. The food came out pretty quick and was hot and fresh. Everything was great and the waitress was very attentive which was nice. The restaurant was very clean but could use maybe a better set up of the table arrangement once people came in the seating felt a bit tight. read more

This spot got some good reviews so I had to swing by, got me an asada burrito. Took a bite and had the usual, rice, beans, meat, cilantro, you know, the works. The asada was a decent quality, a little on the chewy side, but it wasn't top tier. Rice had a sweeter taste to it, kinda peculiar. Beans in the burrito were your usual. Overall a whatever burrito. I also tried a Quesabirria, that had solid flavors, you tasted the spices and solid cheese was used. I liked that one. Asada Burrito: 6.9 Quesabirria: 8.0 read more

One of Fontana's many hidden gems. Cute and cozy restaurant with plenty of seating. Staff is really friendly and attentive. We had the chips and salsa, salsa had the right amount of kick to it. We tried the horchata and melon agua fresca, which was yummy and not too sweet. Drink portions were huge (32oz I think?). To eat, we both opted for the quesabirria plate which was also really good. The meat was really juicy and soft, portions were generous as well. read more

Birria Ramen is amazing. My husband loved the tacos. We've eaten here several times and gotten take out. Food is always good.

I knew this place was gonna be great as soon as I saw it was Sinaloa Style. We had the Machaca Plate without Eggs with the Chorizo Beans and Pork Tamale . Portion size was big, perfect for 2 people . The Tamale was really good with pork and veggies with the masa being so moist which is hard to come by. The star of the show was the Machaca. Didn't get a chance to take a pic after eating it up so fast . Delicious . What a satisfying lunch . read more

The restaurant is a bit small but ample seating, very homey and clean. It is very bright and inviting. Then you are greeted with a beautiful smile and wonderful attitude. The hostess was very sweet and welcoming. She welcomed us in right away and made some great suggestions. Also asked if it was out first time and when I said yes she was so happy we were there. That was enough to want to order everything in the menu. We got chips and salsa, the salsa was BOMB!!! Full of flavor and just the right amount of spice, it was so good you could drink it like consume. Then we got guacamole and chips. It was made fresh to order and was seasoned perfectly. Usually you have to add lemon or salt this one was perfect and with that salsa made a good pairing. I started with a taco dorado, the meat was seasoned to perfection and had the right amount of cheese, it was a nice way to start the meal. We ordered enchiladas, flautas ( suggestion from the hostess) and ceviche de camarón. The enchiladas comes with bean and rice. The beans were sooo delicious the closest to homemade I have ever had from a restaurant. Enchiladas were delicious had the right amount of salsa, cheese and full of flavor. The flautas ( which was a great suggestion) had potato inside. With lettuce and avacado. They were very good as well they are served with a consume which is delicious. You can drink that by itself, like if it is a cafecito. You dip the flautas in the consume and then with that salsa and bam you have a nice combo of flavors. Last but not least the shrimp ceviche was perfect. Did not need anything else besides the salsa negra and guacamaya. Overall great experience, food and service. Can't wait to come back and try the menudo. read more

Honestly , the food was great at first , but after visiting a couple of times customers service got super bad . They over charge you for the same thing . Ask for receipts or they will say that you didn't pay . The lady's there are rude and don't have anything of customer service . They scream at you from over the counter saying hey you didn't pay after you payed . They throw your food before even asking if you're done . Never ever going again . They started as good Mexican restaurant but they overpriced and honestly customer service overall is the worst . read more

I was nearby for a baseball tournament for my son and was looking for a solid birria burrito. I hit up yelp and this place jumped to the top and it was nearby. Pulled up and the place was busy with most tables occupied. They do table service or to go orders. I ordered a birria burrito with everything to go (con todo para llevar!) and the ladies at the counter were super nice. The burrito was really good. I wish the meat was chopped up a bit more so I didn't grab an enormous bit of meat in one go, but there was no fat or gristle and the classic birria flavors were there. The tortilla held everything together, and the red salsa was a solid kick of heat. I would definitely love to come back and get more of their Sinaloa style Mexican food! The restaurant was super clean, and they were actively on top of keeping tables moving and checking on customers. Definitely recommend! read more

I came by earlier this week with my kids ordered a flauta meal,two kids plates,one drink, a side of rice,and a side of cold pasta. Food was really good the flautas needed a bit of salt but overall everything was tasty. I got up to pay and the receipt I was given had no prices just the total which was a bit expensive for what we got I tipped 15% was asked at the end if i wanted the hand written receipt back I said no because I paid and signed on their tablet. I was checking my accounts and I saw an almost $13 difference on my credit card charge. I disputed the charge with my bank but I called the establishment to see what kind of tax and charges they have when paying with a card I was placed on a 10 minute hold then the person hung up, called back and told them they had hung up on me she said I'm sorry I was busy she seemed upset form the start that I was asking like she knew I caught on to their scheme. I'm saddened by this because I truly love to support my city but not when they knowingly are taking advantage of their own neighbors so just beware and ask for an itemized recipient or pay cash so you don't get extra charges out on your account I did the math the establishment had changed the charges to a 30% tip read more

043/2024 Browsed Yelp for a good Mexican Cuisine and chose this one in Fontana. A small restaurant with cozy warm ambience. Staff are warm and friendly. After our server took our order it didn't take long to be served hot to our table. First time to try the White Menudo. Kinda a little gamy smell and taste for me. There was good enough balanced serving of the broth, hominy, tripes, pig feet and anaheim pepper for the spicier taste and flavor. The Chile Relleno Plate had one Chile with rice and refriedbeans and a garnish of salad. It has good flavor and the spiciness was tolerable for me! read more

Came for dinner at 6:00. Place clean and simple set up. Good service and reception. White menudo hot and tasty. There's a bit of smell but otherwise, we'll seasoned and even better with lime and onion. Well balanced chille relleno with rice and beans. Not too rich and not bland either. Just wish served directly on plate instead of paper plate over actual plate. Limited front street parking but more space available at back of building. Will try birria next time. read more

The service was good. It took a little bit to get our food but it's homemade the prices are a little high for what you get. you do get plenty of food but a lot of the food doesn't have meat in it so you're paying like $13 for some potato flautas, not including rice and beans But the food is very tasty. Nice needs more seasoning. Beans are really good. The Gorditas were a little overcooked, but other than that, it's a good place to try for the first time. read more

Me and my boyfriend stopped by here craving Mexican food. WOW JUST WOW!! 10/10 on everything, service, music, ambiance, drinks and food was excellent. We were wowed by there coctel, micheladas, and Flautas de papa... we can only imagine what the rest of the food taste like. Another good thing is that we got here one hour before they closed and they didn't make us feel rushed they were so sweet the whole time. Seriously some of the best food I've ever had!! Don't hesitate on coming here! You won't be disappointed!!! Thank you team!! read more

Unfortunately I went, but did not get to stay to try the food. When I walked in, I can tell it was really busy so that's understandable. However, there were two waitresses that sadly did not acknowledge me when I walked in or when I was standing there looking at the menu. Again, I understand they were busy, but there was one that passed me twice and I thought she could have said at least good morning. So when she acknowledged a group of two people walk in, I became disappointed. I really want to try this sinaloense restaurant since the one in Colton has bad customer service reviews, but this one doesn't seem to be too far behind either. Maybe I'll give the food and customer service a try on a non-busy weekday. read more

I was visiting in fontana at a client site while working. I quickly pulled up my trusty YELP app due to hunger pains. While looking for the location, I was sent to the opposite side of the street in an alleyway. Luckily, I had time to scout for the store front located on Sierra Ave. Setting: Small yet clean and accommodating. Nice decor and low playing spanish guitar music playing. Food: I opted for the 2 sopes and 1 Quesabirra taco. At first site it looked and smelled amazing! I'm half Nicaragua, so I'm not sure about authenticity. But WOW! YOU NEED TO STOP IN AND EXPLORE! They offer freshly made Agua. I'm very pleased that they offer delicious food at a reasonable price. Enjoy! read more

Cocina Sinaloense - Our server! - Tacos Near Me - Fontana, California

In depth about this place since we hav evens wanting to go for a while. Got in around 4:55 didn't seem busy, waited at cashier for a table of 2, and was asked to sit down. (Seems like a sit yourself type of place & then they help you). Waited a while as they attended people paying to leave. Waitress took our order about 10 ish minutes later. Ordered 2 orders of ceviche, flautas, and quesabirria. Food didn't came out all together which was weird. The ceviche took longer than everything else, that just didn't make sense to us as seafood is already made. Everything overall had great flavor, quesabirria does have some spice to it, the ceviche is definitely spicy, it's soaked in the juices so you don't see the jalapeños or anything. I will say the onions were cut very big considering everything else was cut tiny. But super flavorful!! We had it with tostados on side. Overall solid experience for food, for time waiting, ordering food, receiving food & paying, I would recommend to order out. Eating in felt as if we waited a while, but this place is still very new and they're working out the kinks. If I could recommend anything to the restaurant owner. I'd say let us order at the counter and that eliminates the waitress running to cook the food & serve the food which will help time lost if us waiting to even get a drink. Food 3.9/5 (onions were cut too big for me, quesabirria was to crunchy & was not offered for it be softer like most Birria places, fluatas had a lot of potato and were good, ceviche was super flavorful, would recommend. Service 3/5 took way to long to order, drinks were warming up by the time we got food, no napkins at table, have to ask for them. Food came out at different times, around 3+ minutes per plate. Service seems like they need to figure out a system and then would be solid. Cashier, waitress, and chefs were nice, it was just overall time that killed score. read more

Food is good (sometimes) there is a few times I've been when the food is as good but it's decent only thing is they charge whatever they want to charge I went these last three times and order the same thing every time I pay it's always a higher amount and and the first time it happened to me I mentioned it to them that they were charging me extra bc the menu says a complete opposite price so "they honored the price on the menu" and "taxed" me which I know tax is 7% but I paid didn't say anything anymore bc the owner was already trying to be smart a abt it so I paid and left when I was in my car I noticed the "taxes" she charged me were 12% :/ ....I don't think I'll b going back they just SCAM U LOL read more
