When you walk in the door and see that the only two people there working are two elder Señoras, you know something good is about to happen! What a treat! When we travel, we look for Mexican food right away in any town we venture to. Cocula had some of the best flavors, and their homemade tortillas were delicious! I had a Gordita, and I'd say it was the best shell I've ever had! The carnitas that filled it were a bit crisp on the outer layer and deliciously tender meat. We will definitely be back if we find ourselves in this area again! read more

Me and my bf love this restaurant, we just randomly found one day. It's always so yummy/ delicious every time we come. Service was great, all the ladies are so sweet! It's very clean in there too. We got a carne asada super burrito (no lettuce or beans) , carne asada quesadilla taco (they have two different quesadillas one for $6 and the other actual one for $12), and a carne asada torta. Burrito- $12 Torta- $11 Quesadilla taco - $6 read more

Last month I invited a few good friends to try a restaurant that I tried during lunch by checking on Yelp. We all enjoyed the food immensely. I met the son, who is the owner, and also the mom and dad. They are wonderful people and made our dining enjoyable. Dishes tried were a regular burrito and enchiladas (which are topped with papas (potatoes). I have tried the carne asada which was good. I have now tried the adobada burrito which was also good. My wife tried the menudo $14 and it was excellent. My daughter got 2 enchiladas (carnitas and a chicharon) which she loved. The salsas are great with usual suspects and other special ones not seen everywhere. Their horchata is top with solid taste. The restaurant has been opened just a couple months. A must try indeed. read more

Great food, Great prices! [Sacramento CA] Whenever our friend Vince finds a new restaurant that's worth visiting he shares and invites us to try it out with him. Tonight we did just that and the four of us had dinner here at Cocula in an area in Sacramento that I wasn't familiar with. It was quite a distance from Roseville especially with traffic but we wanted to check it out. There is ample parking shared with a barber shop next door. Menu was small and simple for now as they are new. Hubby and I ordered enchiladas, optional topping like rice, beans, Guac and sour cream... and even the enchilada sauce were not present (I always thought they were included with the meal). I was confused, instead it was topped with curtido, lettuce, cheese and potato but nonetheless they were very good. I had two pieces. I also ordered an asada super burrito to take home for my daughter. We shared it, it had lots of tasty flavors and we both enjoyed it. The dining room is clean with tables that could seat up to four guests and two tables that could accommodate up to a party of eight. We enjoyed the salsa bar located on one corner of the dining room. Lots of salsa option One gender-neutral bathroom. Friendly customer service! Review #3748 read more

I've seen this restaurant after driving by a few times. It's located right off of fruitridge by the Idle Hour bar. They have signs up on weekends when they serve grilled chicken. Parking was full, but there's is a good amount and I was able to find parking next to the restaurant. Inside looked clean and has plenty of seating. Customer service was great and friendly. I had questions and the gentleman taking my order answered all questions. They have a salsa bar with tortilla chips. I ordered the steak (asada) quesadilla and a chicken gordita. It was a good amount of food. I couldn't finish the quesadilla. I also ordered a horchata. Got everything to go BTW. Everything tasted great. I will definitely be back to try their other items. Everything is a decent price as well. read more

Ain't no doubt that this spot has the BEST tacos in Sacramento, and it's not even close. Yessi helped at the register, then she went back in the kitchen to do her thing and made the food by herself. After eating, I never wanted to add someone to my Christmas card list so quickly. I'm shook. About the food: carnitas tacos were the best I've ever had - fresh housemade corn tortillas, and the carnitas were moist but had a nice crunch as well. This was interesting, and I couldn't get enough. Also had the carne asada tacos, which were great, and the quesabirria - still thinking about both and it's been a few hours. I hope this spot stays open forever and that they treat Yessi well so she can keep the magic going. Will be back. read more

I've visited Cocula several times. It's a small restaurant with a homey vibe, lovely staff, and the food is fantastic. Their chips always taste great. The corn tortillas that come with their meals are made fresh and expertly handmade. They have an extensive serve-yourself condiment bar with grilled onions and a variety of salsas. The enchiladas, sopes, and carne asada I've ordered in the past have all been great, but I think pollo asado on the weekends is special. For the single chicken meal, you get a full-length half-chicken (1 breast and wing, thigh, and drum) perfectly cooked on the grill out front, with pico de gallo, rice, refried beans, and tortillas. The chicken has slight char from the gill, is flavorful, and pull-apart tender. The single meal offers superb value for the amount of food. You can also order a family meal, which includes the whole chicken and double the sides, all at a discounted price. Cocula's pollo asado, served on the weekends, is a must-try if you're a fan of Mexican food and BBQ. You will be glad you stopped by this Sacramento hidden gem. read more

Used to be Los compadres, and back in the day this was THE SPOT for menudo, looks like menudo is no longer on the menu but I did see a sign for grilled chicken in the weekends . We tried the enchiladas plate and they were out of chicken so I got them with carnitas and they were yummy . I enjoyed the curtido on top the most . My husband for the carne asada plate and it was on the saltier side . Best part is their salsa bar with like 10 different salsas lol and they are priced very good! read more

They are fast and the Torta's are amazing! The bread is fresh baked with cheese melted on it. Very reasonably priced too! Best in sac!

A friend recommended this restaurant, and I'm so glad they did! The menu is simple but full of delicious Mexican dishes. The food is flavorful, the service is warm and friendly, and the dining room is comfortable, bright with sunlight during the day and nicely lit in the evening. My favorite part is the salsa bar with plenty of options to load onto an already tasty meal. Definitely a spot I'll keep coming back to! read more

It's a new business, so I was wondering if all the 5 star reviews were family and friends. Anyway I went to try it. I got 2 tacos, which were just ok. The chicharron was not fried or crispy whatsoever. The pork pieces were flavorless gelatin like very soft gummy bear texture. I think the tortillas were freshly made there though, which was nice. I also got a super asada burrito. I screwed up and forgot to ask if they have whole beans, they gave me refried. I love refried beans, but never in a burrito, that mushy mouth feel, no thanks. And the tortilla was burned. I hate when they grill the tortilla. Even Taco Bell does that crap now. It tasted burnt AF. De todos modos, no es bueno para me. read more
