What people say
Vegetarian and vegan restaurants have become increasingly popular in recent years, as more people are embracing a plant-based lifestyle. Cocina Calavera, located on 4th Avenue in San Diego, is one such restaurant that has gained a loyal following among vegans and non-vegans alike.
What sets Cocina Calavera apart from other vegetarian/vegan restaurants is its dedication to being gluten-free and dairy-free. This means that even those with dietary restrictions can enjoy the delicious Mexican-inspired dishes on offer. The menu is extensive and features a variety of plant-based options, including tacos, burritos, bowls, and salads.
One standout dish that customers rave about is the enmoladas dicorciadas - a mouth-watering combination of chicken tinga or carnitas with red chile molé or green tomatillo molé. And for those who love creamy sauces but can't have dairy, Cocina Calavera makes their own cashew-based cremas in-house.
While the restaurant unfortunately had to close due to the pandemic, owner Josh has found a new home at Mermaids & Cowboys in La Jolla as their new events and marketing manager. Fans of Cocina Calavera can still enjoy Josh's culinary creations at his new location.
