“ I've dined in, gotten take out, and large platters for catering here. Portions are generous! Lots of different stewed meats and they always have something different daily. My go to are the spicy pork and the cilantro chicken for the stewed meats. For soups, the beef soup is light but is very warming when you need it. Guac and chips is always a crowd pleaser as well. Tip, if you are unsure of the stewed meats, they can give you a small sample. ”
“ I try not to come here every other week but it's hard not to. It's a very home-style type of place, I usually go during the week in the evening and it's always on point. I get the chicken tacos and the caldos. All the caldos (soups) are delicious; they taste like mom made them. I highly recommend stopping by if you're in the area and in the mood for authentic Mexican food. On a side note it's a little pricey compared to like a taco shop or a Mexican market but the quality is well worth it. ”
“ After spending a week eating in Oaxaca im always looking for a good mole, found it here. Rotating daily combo options and friendly service. ”
“ This place absolutely rocks. The food is fantastic - a rotating menu of over 300 dishes they change daily. So flavorful. We loved everything we ordered (multiple guisados, chilaquiles, and enchiladas). We were greeted by Pablo who gave us free samples of everything and let us taste the dishes. He was so so kind and welcoming. Great vibes and great food. Come here immediately, I will be back from LA! ”
“ The ultimate Mexican comfort food in San Diego! Super Cocina is a go to choice when I have a crowd to feed or looking for a cozy take out meal. You cant go wrong with the red pork or green chicken. If I'm in the mood for something lighter, I also love the caldo de res or pollo. ”
“ Amazing Chilaquiles Experience I recently visited on a friend's recommendation to try their chilaquiles, and it was an incredible experience! The chilaquiles were perfectly cooked, with a delightful blend of flavors and textures. The portion size was generous, and the presentation was top-notch. If you're looking for the best chilaquiles in town, this place is a must- visit! ”
