In 2019, Rosabelia Diaz opened Birrieria y Mariscos La Cocina and fulfilled her dream of owning her own business — now, she’s fulfilling Lakewood residents’ dreams of eating delicious Mexican cuisine. Regulars and locals praise Birrieria y Mariscos La Cocina for their attentive and friendly staff as well as their birria (a rich and spicy consomé) as some of the best in Lakewood. Fan favorite dishes include their tacos with freshly-made corn tortillas, mulitas, menudo, and their perfectly shareable pizza birria — birria-dipped tortillas filled with beef and cheese topped with cilantro, crema, and salsa verde.
