Cocina del Rancho

Outstanding happy hour! The street tacos are to die for, larger than expected, and not expensive. Their salsa is also really good, although the chips can be a little oily. Great little patio too. Definitely going back for HH!

My family lives just up the street so we have been coming to this shopping center and this specific restaurant location for many years even when it was another Mexican restaurant with different ownership and a different name. It’s just as good now as it was in the past and can honestly say Cochina Del Rancho is worth visiting no matter where in San Diego you are from. They take reservations or you can do walk-in and inside is very large with many different seating options as well as a room in the back for private parties. They also have a large bar with tons of drink options and a huge menu filled with all sorts of great dishes. Being that it’s in a shopping center and a quiet part of Rancho Santa Fe there is plenty of parking spaces so finding a spot will never be an issue. Our server was

So disappointing....I've been taking friends to Cocina for years, But no longer. Service was poor, never was asked for another drink, more salsa, dessert. Had to go to bar to ask for our check..... our simple 2 tostada plates were too salty, and did not come w beans & rice as stated on menu. And, this was on a Wednesday nite 2/4, place was not full. Good luck

I Didn't realize the restaurant was in Rancho Santa Fe until someone invited us. The Carne Asada plate we ordered was really good. So was the carne asada tacos. The beans seemed like canned beans and the chips were greasy and too thick for us. The spanish rice was dry and not to tasty.The Mini carne asada tacos were also good. Good atmosphere inside.

I don’t know why the is restaurant doesn’t have better ratings. We got burritos, tacos, and a pitcher of spicy margaritas. All 10/10. Our waitress was great. Best lunch we have had in awhile
