Our Kitchen, Your Heart.

Born in the heart of City Terrace, Cocina con Corazón was founded on a simple belief: everyone deserves a meal that tastes like a hug. We saw a world moving too fast and a neighborhood being filled with "quick-service" chains that lost the soul of Mexican cooking. We decided to bring the "corazón" back.

We honor the legacy of our ancestors by refusing to take shortcuts.

Our salsas are small-batch, our corn is non-GMO. We are a "Third Place" for the 90063 community—a spot between work and home where you are always treated like family.
