Cocina De Barrio

A gem in Hillcrest featuring dishes from Oaxaca. In my opinion, the best tacos in San Diego are right here in either lamb or beef, don't forget to ask for the salsa! Their dishes are beautiful, clean, and the prices are great! Other excellent dishes include the memeletas. Their drinks are well crafted, strong, and check the fruity popsicles included with the margaritas. The staff is friendly, service is great, food comes really fast. My only complaints are the seating is somewhat uncomfortable and it would be nice to get some chips and salsa. Those are pretty minor things. This is a great restaurant.

Another i have been wanting to go since we left San Diego. Had been eyeing it on Instagram for some time.
Phenomenal dining experience. Beautiful restaurant with an excellent vibe, impeccable service, and amazing food. We sat in the balcony and it was perfect San Diego weather. Our waiter was very attentive and helpful.

The food. Phenomenal. The drinks were excellent. Had the special of the month which was a fig mule, so good.

We had the taquitos and tacos de birria appetizers and bother were phenomenal and platted beautifully.

For dinner my partner an i both had the short ribs in mole and my friend the pescado zarandeado and loved it. The homemade corn tortillas were delicious and the presentation, beautiful.

Phenomenal dinning experience that everyone must have. Kuddos to Cocina del Barrio.

Nice ambiance. Staff was friendly.

Food and drinks were good. A decent variety of plates.

Parking is a bit of a hassle since it's downtown but you can park at Rite Aid for a fee.

I was a little hesitant with their small menu but once we got our food and tried it we were pleased to have chosen this restaurant. Everyone in our group loved their food and agreed it had good flavor. Definitely recommend coming to eat here.

Loved the atmosphere. The flavor of the food was good. We got both red and green chilaquiles. Unfortunately, the tortilla chips in the dish were too thick and hard to chew, kinda hurt my jaw to eat through them. Also, I wish they added more queso fresco and sour cream as there was barely any. They also drowned the dish in sauce, so it was a bit much, but the flavor is good. My husband ordered French toast, and they were delicious.

My husband ordered a horchata mixed drink for me, and it was amazing. Also, their coffee is really good, and I'm not typically a coffee drinker!
