    Stopped here on the way to the beach and tried the tacos. We got the adobada and carne, and both were so good. Definitely try the adobada, it's just like TJ tacos... maybe even better.

    Suadero taco

    Suadero was tender & juicy with a fairly spicy salsa verde, got all our tacos with everything: salsa, guacamole, onions & cilantro. The carne asada was chopped and made for soft bites with no gristle or toughness - could use some salt to enhance the flavor but good overall. The adobada was nicely cooked with some flame charred bits that were so flavorful. The tortillas were warmed to perfection and they gave us a generous bag filled with limes and radishes. We got a cold jamaica to round it out and weren't disappointed! It was nice to see couples and families gathering during dinner time and enjoying the evening. There's a ton of parking and these folks are working hard to send out fresh food, quick.

    The food was absolutely delicious, and I was so impressed by the quality and flavor of every dish…read more It is clear that a lot of care goes into the preparation, and knowing that Cocina Del Mar is a family-owned business makes the experience even more special. It is wonderful to support a local establishment that truly cares about the food they serve and the community they are part of. Thank you for providing such a fantastic dining experience. I look forward to visiting again soon!

    Finally visited Cocina Del Mar after always seeing it popup on Yelp or Google Maps. Our defacto…read morego-to standard for Mexican food has always been Mariscos Huatulco. They have the best molcajete and fajitas around, at the best prices. We are here just to see if Cocina Del Mar is better. Long story short: it's not. However, their ceviche is AMAZING. Best ceviche I have had in north county San Diego outside of Dija Mara (which has the best ceviche in the known universe). It is extremely fresh and not overpowered by acidity, fishy smells or rubbery shrimp. The ceviche here is legit. Great. AND ONLY $10 (for cameron). If you order anything here, get the ceviche first. I'm anxious to try their aguachile now. We also ordered the fajitas ("suprema" with chicken, steak and shrimp). Fajitas did not come out sizzling at all. I have never seen this before. Also, there were only two shrimp. The steak/carne was bland and dry. Not great. Wife ordered the Sopes (3) and mother ordered the Enchiladas Cameron. The sopes were okay, but a bit bland. Wife had to salt everything on the plate. The enchiladas had a sauce my mom said was too sweet. She wasn't a fan. For all three dishes to be a miss is completely strange considering the sheer number of 5-star reviews. I want to believe. We must have come on an off-day, but the place was busy. Quite a few larger parties were here, so this place is popular with the natives. We also grabbed a Model and a Corona. Only $5 for the beers! Total for everything came to $117.64 (with tip). I would absolutely come back for the ceviche and to give them another shot by trying a different dish. I snapped pics of the menu so you can see the latest prices. Check it out.

    I came here last year on a trip to Carlsbad, and it was great so I came back again! I ordered the…read moreCalifornia burrito with carne asada, which is what I ordered last time as well. The burrito comes with all the fixings - protein, guacamole, cheese, fries, and salsa. Incredibly heavy, but it is the best burrito I have ever had. The service is great. The cashier lady especially was very helpful and kind. Good ambiance, got to watch the World Cup on their tv. Restrooms are clean as well.

    I found this gem randomly!…read more The staff were very friendly and patient with us as we decided what we wanted to order. The food came out fairly quick and hot! We ordered a chilaquiles w/ carne asada and an over medium egg. The tortilla chips were crunchy and crispy, the egg was fried perfectly, the carne asada was well flavored and soft! The meal was served with rice and beans which of course were also amazing! This is the best chilaquiles I have ever had and I am looking forward to the next time I can go back! My sister ordered the Fish and Shrimp Tacos. I tasted the fish taco and that was cooked perfectly! The batter was crispy and not over coated, the fish tasted great and was cooked perfectly! My sister did enjoy the shrimp taco as well and said they battered and fried it perfectly! Definitely a must try if you are near here. The only thing that prevented a five star is the temp inside the restaurant was a bit warm. Not a deal breaker though, will for sure be back!
