Cocuyos - Soledad

Finally stopped in to see what all the 5 star rating were all about . 4 pm Tuesday place was empty. I was the only customer, so I sat down and was greeted by Alice she said she would be my server and the cook. OK, she did not speak English, and I know a few words in Spanish, no big deal. First chips and salsa tiny bowl average at best cold unsalted chips. 2 tacos arrived carnitas and Carne asada. Homemade tortillas 3.25 reasonable flavor again average nothing special. Shrimp enchiladas main corse again nothing special Shrimp had no seasonings red sauce very spicy and only on the tortillas loaded up with lots of fresh lettuce onions and cheese. It looks impressive but lacking flavor dry and just spicy .I had to ask for guacamole and again tiny bowl and just average. I left full but underwhelmed, I wanted to give 5 stars, but honestly, I couldn't do it. The best thing about this place is the prices are very reasonable however the food did not live up to the hype.

The food is authentic and the only place I go for Hispanic food. I always order 2 carne asada soft tacos with green salsa and lime. For my main dish, I get the chili relleno w/ rice, beans and corn tortilla. I have heard alot about how good cactus is but never had it in my 55 years until I ate here, mind blown!!!Parking: Parking around the building (corner lot) and across the street.Kid-friendliness: Very kid friendly. Been taking my daughter there since she was 6. She is twelve now and they remember her every visit.

Fajitas is very delicious! One of the best homemade salsa I've ever had.

Came here for dinner with some coworkers and we could not stop raving about how delicious and authentic the food was! The sopes, tacos, and especially the molcajete were all amazing and the salsas were very flavorful! The server was very attentive and friendly, absolutely coming back next time I’m in town! Muchísimas gracias por su hospitalidad.

Excellent stop for Mexican food. Best enchiladas I’ve ever had. Excellent warm fresh chips and salsa. I’ll be stopping every time I drive between Santa Cruz and LA.
