Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Cocina 35 - Downtown delights diners with "fantastic Mexican food," including standout chilaquiles. While reservations can be challenging, with occasional waits and seating mix-ups, the "service was equally impressive" with attentive staff. The vibrant atmosphere and "great authentic food" make it a must-visit spot in San Diego.

    Really disappointed in this location, items were burnt and server was not really present, not sure if the server work as a team had to ask everyone but my server for assistance.

    Reservations is just to ensure you're going to have a table at some point. You'll still have to wait for a table to become available. Not very kid friendly or baby friendly at all. They don't allow high chairs in some tables and the booster seats don't latch on to the benches/ chairs. My 1 year old slipped off it and under the table. They were unable to accommodate, and eventually waited again for a better table although I mentioned we had a toddler with us at the very beginning. We got our food fast, but it was cold. Josh told us the reservation also doesn't guarantee a table inside, even though that's what was booked and asked for. Overall, reservations don't really mean anything. Server was okay, but there were no utensils and had to wait for her to come back around so we can ask for some. I had gotten up to ask the girls just standing, and they said they couldn't give them to me and I had to wait for server lol. Food was good as always, but cold 😍 Not warm, COLD.

    The food and service were wonderful. Excellent chilaquiles. We used the app to make an indoor reservation but had to sit outside when we arrived. Some confusion about being able to reserve in indoor table. Outside was quite nice, just chilly.

    Was seated and nobody came to us for 10 min and that was after we asked a food runner if we could get someone over to our table. Ordered food and the wrong sauce was put on my chilaquiles. No problem they were changed. Then husband’s food was supposed to be creamy and with beans at the bottom of the chilaquiles and they were dry. Never had issues before. Seems like they’re just whatever about service now.

    I loved the food it was super good, sadly our waiter was very rude & I didn’t like the way she wasn’t attentive to only us! She would go up to everyone but us it was weird but I would give the food 10/10. The food came out super fast which was great as well!

    I booked a reservation and still had to wait 15 mins. I was in a time crunch so my only complaint is to make sure you seat reservations before walk ups. I enjoyed the food, service was good, and lively atmosphere
