la Cocina by Simply Sabor

Welcome to La Cocina by Simply Sabor, where family tradition meets California inspired flavor. We proudly opened our doors in January 2025 inside Ava's Downtown Market & Deli in the heart of Mountain View, California, driven by a simple goal: to share the beloved Garcia family recipes that have been handed down through generations.

What began as a passion for uniting people through food has blossomed into a destination where fresh ingredients, bold flavors, and genuine hospitality create unforgettable dining experiences. Each dish reflects our family's rich culinary heritage while embracing the diverse flavors and cultures that define the Bay Area. Through both our restaurant and our catering services, we are honored to serve the Mountain View community and beyond for celebrations, corporate events, and everyday gatherings.

As our journey progresses, we are incredibly proud to have been named the 2026 Mountain View Chamber of Commerce Outstanding Small Business Award recipient. This prestigious award acknowledges a local small business that has made remarkable contributions to the Mountain View community through excellence in business and community involvement. This recognition is a tribute not only to our dedicated team but also to our loyal guests, partners, and community who have supported us from the very beginning.

At La Cocina by Simply Sabor, we believe everyone deserves to indulge in the comfort of great food. That’s why we continue to expand our plant-based menu, thoughtfully reimagining our cherished family recipes for our vegan and vegetarian guests. From flavorful tacos and burritos to innovative appetizers and signature specialties, we are committed to creating dishes that honor tradition while welcoming every lifestyle and dietary preference.

Whether you're joining us for a quick lunch, gathering with family and friends, or planning your next catered event, we invite you to experience the warmth, flavor, and hospitality that define La Cocina by Simply Sabor. We look forward to sharing our family’s table with yours.
