   I might not have booked a reservation if I had known this place was in a strip mall, but I’m glad I did. The ambience inside was lovely. Our server was great. And the food was truly phenomenal. Try the ceviche and the wines from Valle de Guadalupe.

   Great drinks, food and service! So glad I found this place! It is only 18 months old and is the best Mexican place we've eaten at in North County. The food is very authentic and unique. You can tell that the chefs worked at every thing on the menu to make it the most flavorful and tasty possible. You need to check this place out!

   We love the flavors at Cocina de Barrio. We have enjoyed their excellent happy hour a few times, and finally came for dinner. We ordered the Memelitas Veganas, Pescado Zarandeadp, and Salmon en Mole Amarillo. Every dish was superb, and the service was excellent!

   The food and service are great here. We had the short rib mole, salmon yellow mole, chicken with green mole, and lamb shank, along with the tableside prepared guacamole.  All of them were delicious although the salmon was overcooked.

    Not your typical Mexican restaurant, definitely more upscale.
