I recently tried out El Cocinero's food at an event that they catered to. As a person who eats meat and is not restricted, I would come here for the good food. The vegan al pastor had chunks of pineapple and it is seasoned and cooked to taste just like the meat version. The texture is just a little bit different but it does resemble a lot like meat. The vegan pastor also tastes just like the meat version, just less "smoky" and the texture is softer. The rice is flavorful and fluffy. The beans are seasoned just enough to have flavor but not compete with the other dishes. The creamy chipotle sauce was perfect topping the rice and beans. I do like vegan food but the only reference I had with Mexican vegan are places that try to add fake cheese and lean heavily on beans and rice. This business shows that you can still have all the flavors and not rely on cheese and meat. They focus on the flavors and not what would make non-vegans feel comfortable. Initially, I was going to give this first time experience a 4 star review so that it encourages me to go check out the restaurant so I can add the service and the ambiance. However, I was lucky enough to bring home leftovers and as I was eating it, the food tastes better. Had to add the extra star!

People of the valley, hear me out on this small business. I saw this pop up on my Yelp feed as a…read morerecommendation. I was craving simple comfort Mexican food and decided to give it try. And it totally hit the spot. Comfortable, simple, and clean restaurant. Surprisingly large selection on the menu. Food was actually really good. And if you like spicy, ask for their special homemade super spicy sauce. I wish I can handle spicy, but this special sauce had really good flavor. What made it five star was the service. Gabriella and family made you feel like family. She's like your favorite Tia. We were welcomed and served just like when you visit your favorite aunt's home. The hospitality is enough to bring me back. So, I hope you experience that when you visit. Parking is small and spaces have a time limit. But I'm not sure they strictly enforce that. Clean restrooms.

No 'sorry', no free drink while I wait some more, NO BUENO!!! Guess they don't want my business? Bad for them, because I pick up big orders for my co-workers. Oh well, there's plenty of other burritos en el mar.

I went on a Taco Tuesday so there was a buy 3 for 2 tacos. I ordered 1 birrieria, 1 chicken taco and 1 carne asada taco. The tacos were very plentiful. I've also ordered a quesabirrieria in the past and that was good. You sit outside on their patio table and wait for the food. The weather is always good so you can always eat outdoor. They have a small parking lot in the back and you can usually find street parking. They recently opened a store front, right next to the to go area, where people can dine in but I have not been inside the restaurant. But I will say they do have a neon light that looks inviting.. The staff is kind. The price is pretty standard and priced well. It's always a good choice.
