    You order at the counter and they bring your food out. It’s not what I was expecting or how it’s depicted on social media. So that’s really it for the service. No one really comes up after wards for any type of table service. You pretty much get up and get your own refills or anything else you might want to re order. Food was good but not worth the wait

    We didn't get off to the best start as after waiting 10-15 minutes with the reservation, we were told if we wanted to sit inside it would be another 15-20 minutes or sit outside where it was a bit cold. Since we didn't want to wait any longer, we opted to sit outside but I had selected standard reservation vs outside when I made the reservation so that was disappointing. I do like the set up, you get to see all the menu items displayed, you order your food first with the cashier and they tell you your table number. I felt it was a bit on the pricey side. Two orders of chilaquiles, one juice, one chocolate milk, and after tip it was $70. The Al Pastor and Cremosos chilaquiles were delicious. Crunchy, creamy, flavorful!

    I recently visited Cocina 35, and I have to say it was an excellent dining experience. The food was absolutely delicious—each dish was bursting with flavor and beautifully presented. The menu offers a wonderful variety, and everything I tried was cooked to perfection. The service was equally impressive. The staff was attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable, making the entire meal feel special. They really took the time to ensure that we had everything we needed and made great recommendations. I’ll definitely be returning and would highly recommend Cocina 35 to anyone looking for a fantastic meal and great service.

    I like how you view the plates of food options they have before ordering opposed to having a physical menu. The food came out fast and was really good
