Where It All Began
Cocina 1912 began with a simple yet powerful mission: to bring authentic Mexican recipes, passed down through generations, to the Santa Paula community. We are dedicated to sharing the rich flavors and traditions that define true Mexican cuisine. Every dish we serve is crafted with care, honoring the heritage and passion behind each recipe. Our goal is to create a welcoming space where every bite connects you to the vibrant culture and warmth of Mexico.
Tradition, One Plate at a Time
Our menu reflects the essence of real Mexican cooking, featuring bold chorizo, hearty breakfast taco plates, and fresh vegetarian options made daily. We welcome everyone—from families with kids to dog lovers—with dine-in, takeout, and catering options. No frills, just good food made with heart, at prices that keep it real.
More Than a Restaurant
Located at 1069 E Main St, Cocina 1912 has become a cherished gathering spot in Santa Paula. Whether you're stopping in for lunch or planning a family dinner, we treat you like one of our own. Built on love and community, our space reflects these values, with every dish proudly telling the story of our roots in the heart of Santa Paula.
