Cocina35, a family-owned Mexican restaurant known for the best chilaquiles in town, is working on a new breakfast-focused location in Coronado at 1201 First Street, #115.
The company’s fifth location is set to open at the Coronado Ferry Landing in the former space of Costa Azul as Cocina35 Brunch, according to San Diego Magazine. The new restaurant will be similar to the one in Liberty Station in terms of menu and aesthetic but with a few new menu items and twists on classics. Cocina35 Brunch is expected to open in mid-November, but that’s just the beginning. Once they open in Coronado, owners Paulina Chaidez and her brother Cesar hope to open more restaurants in North County.
When the company opens its newest location in Coronado, the restaurant will be approximately 4,500 square feet and have seats for about 150 guests. In addition to some new menu items and an upgraded lunch menu, the company plans to add a few new drink options, including a twist on a Paloma, as well as mimosa flights. At the moment, Cocina35 has locations in Downtown, Otay Mesa, Barrio Logan, and Liberty Station.
