" Just had a fantastic dinner with my friends! The ceviche was so refreshing, and the birria tacos were perfection. Great presentation but slightly on the pricier side. However, the ambiance makes it feel worth it. I do wish the service was a bit quicker, but it was definitely a great night. Definitely looking forward to my next visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" Was here for brunch and left feeling very satisfied! The chilaquiles were incredible, with just the right amount of spice. The helpings were enough, but anything less would have disappointed! The restaurant was hopping, and our server was on top of everything despite the busy setting. Definitely looking forward to making this a regular spot! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had been looking forward to coming here, and it did not disappoint. We were seated quickly, and our server was friendly. The food was fantastic, with the birria tacos proving particularly delicious. The size of the portions was generous! Although the wait for drinks was a bit long, it was clear they were working hard. Plus, the outdoor seating added a lovely touch. I would recommend this place without hesitation. " (*Curated Review*)

" A solid Mexican restaurant with vibrant decor and an inviting atmosphere! I loved the creative mix of classic Mexican dishes with contemporary twists. I had birria tacos, which were delicious, though a bit spicy for my taste. The staff was friendly but a little rushed. I would definitely come back for another meal soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" The food was pretty tasty, but I expected more based on the hype surrounding Cocina De Barrio. The atmosphere was nice, but service was a bit slow, and I felt like our orders weren't addressed promptly. The ceviche I had was fresh but lacked some seasoning. I hope my next visit will be better, as I want to give this place another chance. " (*Curated Review*)

" Dining here was an adventure for the senses! The menu is exciting and has a variety of choices, each dish showcasing a unique take on traditional Mexican flavors. Service was prompt and staff seemed genuinely passionate about the food they serve. I can’t recommend their mezcal margarita highly enough – it’s the best I’ve had in San Diego! Overall, it was a delightful experience and one I’ll be repeating. " (*Curated Review*)

" While the food we had was decent, I found that it lacked the authentic taste I expected. The staff was lovely, but there were moments where the service lagged. It's possible we just caught them on an off day. The atmosphere is charming, though, so I might give it another chance in the future to see if they can win me over. " (*Curated Review*)
