About Cocina De Barrio - Point Loma

Cocina De Barrio - Point Loma is an upscale Mexican restaurant known for serving consistently fantastic food and drinks. The menu features great options, including delicious beef tacos, chilaquiles with birria, and Emilia's with braised short ribs. A highlight is the churro dessert, which should not be missed, and the corn pie dessert is also highly praised, being considered possibly the best in all of San Diego. The atmosphere is friendly and chill, with attentive staff providing excellent service. There is also the option of quieter outdoor seating, making it a pleasant choice for dining.

Recent visitors have enjoyed the freshly made meals that taste like home-cooked dishes. One popular item is the veggie hash, which is filling and can be customized with additions like soyrizo and avocado. Diners appreciate the large servings and good prices, often leaving with leftovers. While the food is generally well-received, some guests mentioned a desire for more veggies and less potato in the veggie hash. The restaurant offers a variety of creative options, especially for plant-based eaters, making it a great spot to return to for something new. The molcajete and salsa are also highly appreciated, and the outdoor seating on a nice day adds to the overall experience.
