I used to go here every morning on my way to work at Oceanside Marina. The Special Breakfast cannot be beat for the price. As a degenerate in my early 20s, my standard operating procedure was to power my way through the day on 2 hours of sleep. My go-to menu item at El Mocho was 2 coladas. Yes, I would drink 2 coladas to the head and then go to work. If I had more time/money, I would stay for breakfast. The aforementioned breakfast deal was only $2.25 back in the early aughts....
A popular local spot, some of the patrons seem to be there almost daily. Prices were more than fair, portions adequate, and REALLY good Cuban coffee. A good time, fast, and super friendly.
Reasonable, no frills spot for Cuban fare. The empanada is amazing, it was our favorite of everything we tried. The sandwiches could be panini pressed to be a little better, as the bread texture was just ok, but for the price they can’t be beat. Fried cheese texture and flavor were great, and it was very filling as expected. Their orange juice seems like it’s fresh squeezed and was very refreshing!
