★★★☆☆ 3.0 Joselyn Arriaga · Oct 2025

I loved going here. The birria is always so good and the waters omg. However, they recently did some remodeling that Im just not comfortable in anymore. Not to mention, they got rid of the metal trays :( They traded it out for a weirdly angled cutting board. I dont know, but personally I missed the casual setting of everything. The times I went they would play house music instead of the chill latino music, at times it was overwhelming and loud during our meal. I'm adding my previous pictures. Again, the food top notch amazing. It's just I rather not keep asking for an extra plate cause the aesthetic is more important.

★★★★☆ 4.0 Zinnia Dayrit · Jan 2026

La Cocina de TJ is a solid spot with great, friendly service and very reasonable prices. Unfortunately, we didn’t get to try the waffle and chicken since they ran out, but the rest of the experience was still enjoyable. The Mexican food is decent overall, and the standout for me was the wagyu sampler chilaquiles plate. Being able to taste all three of their sauces was amazing. Each one packed with flavor and definitely the highlight of the meal. The wagyu itself was a bit overdone, which was a slight letdown, but it didn’t completely take away from the dish. Good food, great service, and solid prices make this a place worth checking out (and is worth a return trip to try what we missed). Also breakfast all day breakfast taco here will be my go to now.

★★★★★ 5.0 Michael Williams Jr · Oct 2025

This was a spur of the moment choice to eat at when I first came for food & since then its been a great go to for delicious Mexican food. The food options are great. I so far had the XL quesiberria with their signature aqua frescoes, the berria ramen & the 3 berria tacos with selantro, diced tomatoes & shredded lettuce on the site to add.

★★★★★ 5.0 Tore Woodard · Dec 2025

We love this place!! The name has changed and they did a little remodeling but the food is still top tier! The Birria Ramen with tacos will always be my favorite!

★★★★★ 5.0 Victoria Guevara · Jan 2026

If you are looking for an actual Mexican Restaurant this is it, Not Tex Mex here, service is great very kind and friendly, the food feels like my grandma is cooking for me, the beans made me feel like home I know it sounds weird but not anyone can make that happen, and of course they have open bar, my favorite is Espresso martini and the best of all is BRUNCH ALL DAY , because top 1 Item for me it’s the Chilaquiles and Carnita Tacos , the best Cafe de Olla and mucho más , I’m telling you you need to go visit
