This place is horrible and very unreliable. We had a large delivery for 11:15am, and was over an hour late. They said they were understaffed, which I understand, but did not reach out to us once to tell that the food was delayed or anything. We had to reach out multiple times and the man on the phone was not being clear where the food was. It is now 12:15 and the food is still not here. If you're looking for a catering option, look elsewhere!

This is what you call a pizza!!?? I couldn't even finish it. The sauce had no flavor, not enough dough.They were skimpy on the cheese. It tasted horrible! They couldn't even cut it right. The ingredients tasted frozen. I thought I'd give this place a try. But instead I should have known better ordering from a Mexican/Italian place. You just can't mix those cuisines together! It's like if you were to go to a Sushi/Indian restaurant and trying to order a Chicken Masala. You think it would taste great? No! LoL, I am suprised this place is still open..

I placed a catering order from here and everything was amazing !! We ordered the chicken fettuccine Alfredo, cajun pasta, chicken parm, lasagna, penne a la vodka, and south of the border salad. 10/10 for every single dish! So much flavor and everything tasted fresh and homemade. Definitely coming back and trying the rest of the menu. One of the workers (may have been the owner) who dropped off my catering was incredibly kind and you can tell its a small mom and pop restaurant with lots of love. I 100% recommend trying place out!

Was craving Mexican. Saw this place on DoorDash and gave it a shot and man, it hit the spot! Ordered the carne asada plate, a classic Mexican dish. Portions were generous and the carne asada cooked to perfection. Everything was flavorful and exactly what my palate desired. Muy delicioso!

The lasagna was absolutely the best I have had to date. I usually share my leftovers, however, this time it was specifically marked "Mom's- don't touch". Lol! I did share a few bites and everyone loved it as well. I also usually reheat restaurant food as it's never hot enough for me. This food was fresh, hot, and so full of flavor. I truly savored every bite! I will definitely be ordering from them again and so appreciated the fantastic meal.

Food is great at reasonable price! Everything I have tried here has been good. My favorites are the chicken Parmesan, chicken quesadillas, salads with their homemade balsamic vinaigrette, lasagna, spaghetti and meatballs. Love this place!

We ordered Mexican food for our office. It was plenty of good dishes. Stake taco and Brandy chicken mushroom was top of my favorite. Thank you Bella Cocina for delicious food and on time delivery.

Best food in Orange County! Plenty of good dishes to choose from! My personal favorite is their Cajun Chicken Pasta. Carne Asada & Enchiladas are my other top favorites! If your around the area make the trip and give them a visit! You'll enjoy it! I guarantee it!
Ever since my good friend, SP, picked up Bella Cocina a couple of months ago, I was impressed! I was all in, sold! - "Yes, please!" I had been craving Bella Cocina for a couple of weeks and after this last order... It was a bust. (SMH) Fool me once, shame on me but don't expect me to pay $12 for a $6 plate of nachos again! - LOL (Well, unless I'm drunk then it's a definite maybe.) The order: Loaded Steak Nachos ($12) - One statement, "It sure was a load of BS." The only thing loaded was the price tag. A thin layer of cheese with small, chewy pieces of steak is not defined as "loaded," and definitely not for $12. FAIL. Photo - Chile Relleno Plate ($14) - The entree "looked great" but it was all down hill after that. Like the nachos, this should've been called "Loaded Chile Rellenos" because it fell into the same category. (SMH) Salt is a seasoning to be used sparingly to help compliment the other flavors of the dish and SHOULD NOT BE THE ONLY FLAVOR. The entree was seasoned with way too much salt; could not finish the plate. FAIL Photo - Carnitas Burrito ($11) - The only saving grace of the entire order was the burrito. Good flavor & portions. I don't mind paying $11 for a good burrito and the ironic thing is that it was the cheaper than both the load of BS nachos and chile "o'hell-no," burrito. HA! Photo - The only saving grace of the entire order was the carnitas burrito; flavorful with good portions. However, everything else was just wrong; waste money. I really enjoyed the food the first time around but most of this order was very passable & mediocre for the most part. So, verdict: Hit & miss Maybe I was just simply too optimistic after trying Bella Cocina for the first time and hoped that their Mexican items were just as good as their Italian. My friend, SP, who introduced me to Bella Cocina; she would order form here for office functions was equally disappointed. Even though my last visit was a bust; you may have a better luck of the draw with your order. I may return and give them another try but not planning a trip any time soon. As we all face the challenges of a COVID-19 world nowadays, please help support your local businesses. Despite my last order along with my tongue & cheek review, I wish Bella Cocina all the best during this crazy time for everyone. Be well, be safe. - Big Aloha!

I'm sad to report that this restaurant has now closed for good. They didn't make it. I'm terribly heartbroken for owner Ivan who worked so hard on this, my favorite restaurant. I ordered food from here a couple of times a week and I will miss it severely. I want to thank Ivan and the friendly staff of Bella Cocina for all their hard work and amazing food. I wish you luck and love. I'm so very sorry.

Any way you slice it, Bella Cocina makes the greatest pizza in the neighborhood for the best price! I usually get the veggie pizza or the works and am never disappointed! In addition, I often order their 2-taco plate, generally the carnitas. However, they also offer chicken or steak. It comes with Spanish rice and your choice of pinto or black beans and flour or corn tortillas. I personally get the flour tortillas and pinto beans. The tacos are very filling, loaded with meat, cheese, lettuce, tomato, and salsa! They are delicious, and all for only $10 dollars and some change. Of course, Bella C. has a large variety of other entrees to choose from which I have yet to partake of because I have a habit of getting the same thing all the time. With our governor's selective hubris, this business is suffering immensely under the lockdown and needs our support. The owners came to this country for freedom and opportunity. They had a dream of owning their own business and invested their life-savings to make it happen, yet...I leave it at that and hold my tongue for the take-out. Make it a win/win for both parties and order one of their awesome pizzas. You won't be disappointed!
