Cocina Del Mar — Restaurant in Oceanside

To be updated. Cocina Del Mar. Nice little family-owned restaurant in the Deep Valley. Corner of Douglas and North River Road. I’ve gotten a few take-outs from here. The traditional battered fried fish tacos are fine. They use double corn tortillas👍🏽👍🏽. I prefer their grilled fish tacos. Better are the mahi or salmon tacos. Recently, their pricing has jumped noticeably up to $9 for the salmon before taxes. Lol. So one day I just picked up a pound of salmon at Sprouts and made my own that lasted for a few days. Lol. Seriously, it’s a nice family-owned restaurant that I recommend. The bilingual ladies behind the counter are always friendly and helpful. One afternoon I actually stayed to eat there and was given a basket of tortilla chips and salsa while I waited. It was relatively quiet and peaceful after the lunch crowd. The place is clean, spacious, and relatively spartan. I didn’t check the bathroom, but I will next time. It’s a good indicator of a restaurant’s overall...

Would be zero across the board if possible. To wait 20 minutes for warm beverages, and then over an hour to not receive food is insane. When I approached the counter to ask the status of the food orders, I could visibly tell there was absolutely nothing being cooked on the stove/ grill. To see the surprise on the face of the cooks when they saw the tickets that had been hanging for the past hour was not even a shock at that point. Then to tell us it'll just be 15 more minutes? At that point since nothing had started being cooked, what is the point of staying there any longer? What a waste of time. Worse yet, there was one young lady that was bringing back the food to the tables on her own as well as bussing the tables herself, all while the rest of the staff did who knows what. How does this place even have more than a single star if this is how they conduct business? Go somewhere else to eat and not have your...

5.0 full stars!! Stopped by there with my man on our way back from San Diego.. and we had one of our best Mexican food experiences ever!!! Esp the surf n turf burrito was AMAZING! A MUST TRY! For me the BEST BURRITO I ever had and my man is of Hispanic origin and it was easily among his top 5.. The salad and chips were also so good, a nice hint of spiciness to the salsa… we also tried Del Mar Molcajete.. it was awesome as well.. all types of meats in it was made so fresh and good even tilapia .. and my man said the sauce tasted OG homemade .. I tried the flan too.. very good

The staff were really friendly and attentive as well.

It may look low key from outside but DEFINITELY STOP BY if you are around...
