   The ceviche was dry. DRY. Birria Tacos although looked good, there’s just no way of holding it. Taco is not crispy, it is a brittle & somewhat thick corn tortilla and breaks instantly upon holding it. No king cube if ordering a nice glass of clase azul, they put smaller ice cubes. Very loud music to the point I could not hear the waiter, albeit he was very softly spoken. Waiter made no effort to even speak in my direction.

   Been coming here on and off over the years. Been about a year since our last visit and oh man the food has gone downhill. The quality was not great. The best part was the chips and salsa. Meats in tacos/quesadillas were low quality. Drinks were syrupy. Wasn’t very busy for a Friday night and still go less than quality service. Was never even checked on after our food arrived, had to ask the hostess to speak with our waiter so we could get a drink taken off our tab.

   Love the Ambiance at this restaurant. Food is yummy. Has many vegetarian food options. All of them are good. The cocktails are mind blowing. Overall I would definitely recommend everyone to come here and enjoy.

   We went here before attending the Sharks game. There were plenty of hockey fans eating there and we were informed that they have a policy of extending their early bird menu to hockey fans both before and after the game. Prices were excellent and 2 tacos were enough for me. We also sampled their chips and guacamole. My companion had the Chile relleno which was excellent. They have a long list of draft beers and cocktails for those so inclined. Our waitress was very attentive. Overall, an excellent dining experience.

   5 Stars – A Must-Visit Gem in the Heart of the City! Olla Cocina delivers an unforgettable dining experience with a perfect blend of modern flair and authentic Mexican soul. From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted by a vibrant atmosphere, stylish décor, and welcoming staff who make you feel right at home. The food is absolutely phenomenal—each dish is thoughtfully prepared with bold, fresh flavors that showcase the richness of Mexican cuisine. The mole enchiladas were especially memorable—deep, complex, and perfectly balanced. The tacos are also a standout, and the elote is a must-try. Their craft cocktails are top-tier, but if you’re a beer fan, it’s also a great spot to grab a cold one before heading to a Sharks game—the location couldn’t be better for pre-game bites and drinks. Whether you’re there for a casual lunch, a fun dinner with friends, or gearing up for a night at the SAP Center, Olla Cocina hits the mark every time. Great service, great vibes, and food that keeps you coming back. Highly recommend!

   Caldo was very bland. Left the chicken skin on so soggy looking. No usual rice, cilantro and onion on the side. The street corn was delicious

   We enjoyed our dinner at Oak Cochina very much, a group of four of us had the guacamole and chips, pitcher of margaritas, and entrees, including chicken enchiladas. the stuffed chili rellenos, and tacos plate. The restaurant has a happening, festive, upbeat atmosphere which contributed to the good time, though was noisy, which could make conversation a bit challenging. It was a busy, night and service was a bit slow. My only real criticisms were that the menu is somewhat limited, and some items I thought were expensive (House made chips and guacamole $14.95., though admittedly, no one forced us to order this). The food was quite good, the service was friendly and professional, the margaritas were great, had a good time was held by all!
