Cocina 35 traces back to a family recipe: chilaquiles, made the way the people behind the restaurant learned to cook them alongside their grandparents in Mexico. That dish anchors the menu across all of Cocina 35's San Diego locations, including this Liberty Station spot, alongside a broader Mexican breakfast and brunch lineup.
Regulars point to the chilaquiles specifically, along with what they describe as authentic Mexican flavors and attentive service, as reasons the Liberty Station location stays busy. It's built its identity around brunch rather than trying to be everything at once.
Cocina 35 was named to San Diego Magazine's Best of 2025 list and has been covered by The Infatuation.
