The food was disgusting. The cucumbers taste like they've been sitting there for days and the chicken has a very nasty flavor as well. I took 1 bite and threw all of it away. A waste of $15! Do not waste your money.

Cochinita is some of the best Teriyaki in the region, originally coming to us from about 50km south straight out of Ensenada, this is their flagship and only US location and if you’re in San Diego it’s a must; bold of me to say, but in my heart it’s one of the city’s speciality dishes. I’ve been coming here since I was a child, and we’ve always been faithful to the chicken Minoru or the chicken Nomuraki if you want a more flavorful dish. It’s basically just a bed of rice with grilled chicken on top, but the Nomuraki goes a step above and adds seasoning, green onion, and an accompanying side of a picked cucmever salad. It’s not intensely pickley though, and it’s a very refreshing side to enjoy with the chicken. Everything is always fresh and steaming hot as they cook the chicken thighs right in front of you the only thing I’ve been instructed by my mom to do is to ask for the chicken without any skin. It does cost a little extra but I’ve never not ordered it like that and I’ll continue to do so. Also be sure to let them know if you want any condiments, they have pickled red onions, pickled jalapeños, and a signature red salsa. But truly I recommend anything this place has to offer and it’s as local and authentically Chula Vista as it gets. I really love this place and I’m glad it’s survived the test of time which is why I hope y’all can give them a chance and see if you just found out one of your newest favorite restaurants.

Food I great. Service is ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE. The chef gets mad when you ask for anything. Almost as if you’re doing him a service by choosing to give him your business. I ask for extra sauce and PAY FOR IT, and he still gets mad that I do. He told me that the boss instructed him to stop adding sauce to the bowls even though I PAID extra for it. I told him that makes zero sense but he doesn’t care. It sucks that the service is so bad because the food is really great. Wish they stepped up their game. I stopped going here simply Because of the service. Once they get new people I’ll go back.

This place is such a gem! Huge portions, fresh cucumber salad, and delicious chicken and beef!! The rice is always perfect too! Oh! The pickled carrots and hot sauce are great too! Same savory flavors since I was a kid! It tastes just like the Tijuana location! Love that it’s close by in Chula Vista! 30 years in business and I’ll keep on supporting!!
