Our Philosophy

Food made with the
patience your
grandmother would approve.

Every dish at Cocina de Tere begins with a simple promise: real ingredients, prepared properly. We source locally when we can and import the rest directly. Our salsas are made fresh each morning. Our tortillas are hand-pressed. Our margs are shaken, not poured from a machine.

This isn't fast food dressed up as Mexican. This is the kind of cooking that takes time — and the kind of place that makes you want to stay.

Our Story

Born from a
family table

Cocina de Tere started the way the best meals do — around a kitchen table, with people you love, and food that tells a story. Tere's recipes come from generations of cooks who believed that a good meal is an act of care.

We opened our doors in Los Angeles with a simple vision: to share that same feeling with anyone who walks through them. No pretense. No shortcuts. Just honest Mexican food, made the way it should be.

Whether you're joining us for a quick taco lunch or a slow Sunday dinner with margaritas, we want you to feel like you've come home.
