After reading all the wonderful reviews of Urban Cocina, I finally got there for a late lunch today with a friend and we weren't disappointed! I had a absolutely delicious shrimp taco, consisting of multiple huge shrimp atop a crisp taco, and my friend had the delicious pork belly tostada. The ambience was friendly and the chef made multiple visits to our table. This seems to be a family run affair, and I will definitely be back many times in the future.

I ordered the smashed avo on toast and paid extra to add two poached eggs. Pretty disappointed that without the additional cost of the eggs it costs $22 for one piece of toast with avo…… haven’t been here for months and I love the portion sizes and food but shocked at this portion and cost for one piece of toast……… eggs were perfect cooked but more toast would’ve been great.

Urban Cocina is one of the newest restaurants in Downtown Vallejo & I hope it here to stay. Location is perfect on a beautiful Saturday afternoon for a late lunch.We had the Peruvian Beans & rice w/ shrimp, yellow chicken curry & urban lemonades. The Beans & rice ain't no punk! It's spicy with all the right flavors. The shrimp was cooked to perfection! The yellow chicken was mellow & gave us everything our heart desired. Probably could've used more heat, but not everyone enjoys heat like we do. The Urban Lemonade was sweet & reminded me of a good ole porch lemonade. Now let's gets to the ambience!! The Melodie's of jazz played softly in the background. It made it feel homey !! If you're thinking about supporting a local business, Urban Cocina is a must!!

Really good food and drinks. The staff were personable and fun. They played a couple songs to help me celebrate my birthday (we didn't ask, the gentleman just saw my friend give me flowers). This was June so I don't remember what we ordered, but there were 3 of us and all got different things. The waiter helped us with our decisions including finding me an excellent gluten free option.Dietary restrictions: some good gluten free options

We ordered the tacos, salad, and winegarita. Tacos were good but the salad was highly disappointing- the lettuce was welted like it was old. They did not offer a refund or credit towards another item when I shared my feedback.I had the lava cake and ice cream, it was absolutely delicious HOWEVER, these cakes ARE NOT baked fresh daily. They’re store bought frozen, then baked. They’re not baking cakes from scratch like our Grandma used to do, but they’re decent :-)Service was good and the ladies were super nice. Atmosphere is welcoming!!

The restaurant is quaint and extremely clean, the service was fast and staff were personable, and the food was absolutely delicious. I ate here twice in a 3-day span and both dishes were top notch. I highly recommend Urban Cocina, especially their burritos!

I saw a review about Urban Cocina and couldn't wait to try it. The food is amazing. Going back every time we're in Vallejo.

This little spot is actually pretty large inside and seems family-owned. They were very friendly and accomodating for gluten-free needs and the food was delicious! The fried rice with shrimp is amazing and the red beans were really good. We will definitely be back for more!

My parents and I went to try Urban Cocina for lunch. We happened to go when it was soul food day. Unexpected, but it did not disappoint. There were three menu options to choose from-fish and chips, chicken wing plate and catfish plate, the latter of the two that came with your choice of sides, along with an assortment of drinks. I got the fish and chips. The fish was fresh, hot and had great flavor. I don't usually like tarter sauce, but this one was really tasty. I also got a strawberry lemonade which was house made and delicious. Great ambiance/atmosphere, friendly, attentive and solid service, as well as a clean restaurant with beautiful interior. I felt like I was dining at a restaurant in the East Bay-Oakland in particular, which I loved. I'll definitely be back on a day where the regular menu is available to try something new!

Love this place! The food is super authentic with tons of flavor and the menu has a lot of variety to choose from. It's nice to have a place with multiple vegetarian options as well. The service was great and everyone working there was so nice. I can't wait to come back!

I've found a winner! Awesome light yet soulful atmosphere. Decor and palette of colors in the space prompt a very chill vibe. This is my second time here, and it doesn't go unnoticed that the owner and her staff are beautiful people. It just works with the overall scenery. Now, the food? Well, it's delicious . The menu has something for everyone, just what you'd expect at an Urban Cocina. What other restaurant offers a taco, a curry, and a day dedicated to traditional soul food? I'm vegan, and the beans and rice are my favorite. The rice is cooked perfectly. The beans are seasoned as though cooked in a home kitchen, and I appreciate it. I'm sending my mother and God mother's here next week....I already know they are going to love it. It is important to know that this is not fast food. Do not come in a rush. If you do, please let the staff know you are in a rush it's not quick.
