Our Story

A Place to Gather,
Rooted in Old Town

Cocinas del Monte was created as a place to gather — a space inspired by California's rich cultural roots and the warmth of Mexican cuisine, rooted in the history and spirit of Old Town San Diego.

We believe good food tells stories. Stories of community, shared tables, early mornings, slow brunches, and long conversations. More than a destination, it's a return to something honest, enduring, and shared.
