MY RATING – ★★★☆☆
I’m not a huge Mexican food fan, but I’ve liked my lunch every time I’ve been to the Cocina Cucamonga. The portion sizes are large without being too overwhelming, and nothing I’ve had has been too spicy. Most of the food in California Adventure is pretty much the same in terms of general quality, and I think this restaurant falls right into that spectrum as well. If you’re in the mood for Mexican in California Adventure, Cocina Cucamonga is probably a safe bet.
MY FAVORITES
- Chicken Tamales
- Carne Asada and Chicken Tamale
TRIVIA
San Fransokyo Square, where Cocina Cucamonga resides, is a blend of San Francisco and Tokyo from the film Big Hero 6.
