What User doesn't like about Hugo's Cocina:
The restaurant had a large variety of vegan options, but the food quality was lacking. The carne was flavorful, but the California burrito seemed messy overall. The chips were mediocre and the salsa had a strange tequila taste. However, my 4-year-old really liked her carne taco. View all feedback. What User likes about Hugo's Cocina:
I was so excited to come back to San Diego literally just to eat here again! My boyfriend, sister, and I who are all vegan ate here more times than we would like to admit lol! Anyways this place is by far the best vegan Mexican food I have had and I cannot get enough, wish they had one near where I live! Cannot recommend this place enough!!! View all feedback.

They offer a vegan menu with a variety of options. I had the vegan Birria special, and I enjoyed it so much that I went back twice in one week.
