Cocina 85 — Restaurant in San Bernardino

The food was excellent, the 2 gentlemen working this evening (Cashier/Server and Cook) were super sweet and provided AMAZING service. Didn't know this place even existed as it's tucked away a little bit, but that's perfect if you want to go somewhere away from your typical noisy packed restaurants and have a enjoyable evening as a couple, friends, family or heck even yourself. My son had the the 2 Cheese Enchilada plate, which he inhaled and came close to licking his plate clean lol. I had the Chilaquiles plate and added Carne Asada. Both entrees were AMAZING. I can normally finish my food and I had to pack half of it up to take home. We also ordered a Carne Asada burrito to take home to try and for dessert we had the Fried Ice Cream. We have found one of our new favorite places and can't wait to go back again. Next on my list to try....their Albondigas 🥰 Disclaimer...couldn't get a good picture of the Enchilada plate...my son dug into it too fast 🤦‍♀️but you can kinda see it in the picture of the Chilaquiles. Also, the pictures don't do the plates justice showing how much food...

Stopped by Cocina 85 on a whim with my husband tonight and honestly, I’m so glad we did. First off, shoutout to Jose, the owner. He was super welcoming, came by our table to check in, and you could just tell he genuinely cares about his restaurant and the people who walk through the door. That kind of hospitality sticks with you. The molcajete was unreal. Perfectly sizzling, packed with flavor, and loaded with enough meat and cheese to feed a small army (no complaints here). It’s definitely the kind of dish that turns heads when it hits the table. Also tried their micheladas and… wow. Just the right amount of spice and tang, super refreshing. Hands down one of the best I’ve had in the area. The vibe inside was vibrant and clean—good energy all around, and you can tell people are genuinely having a great time. And the portions? Generous in the best way. You won’t leave hungry, that’s for sure. Definitely coming back. If you’re anywhere near this place, go. Cocina...

We were in the area, so we did a search of good restaurants nearby. This popped up as 4.8 stars so we decided to try it. At first, we were skeptical because for noon on a Sunday, it was empty. Nonetheless, we went in. Ordered a chimichanga and albondigas soup. Then more and more customers started coming in and getting seated. BEST albondigas soup I’ve ever had, and I order them often when I eat at Mexican restaurants. The fried chimichanga was delicious, too. Service was quick, attentive & pleasant. Highly...
