La Cocinita Restaurant Evanston offers a delicious and flavorful experience, with food that is outstanding and a big hit with guests. The restaurant provides a complete taco bar, sides, chips and dips, drinks, and desserts, along with serving dishes and utensils, making it an easy and reasonably priced buffet option for events. The food is not too spicy, but a large array of sauces allows for customization.
Specific dishes that stand out are the divine and delicious Caribbean Bowl, the kids’ chicken tacos, and the arepas, which are described as filling and perfection, especially the brisket arepas. The carne is also noted as flavorful. The brisket and fish tacos are favorites, and the rice and beans and chicken plate for kids is a generous portion. The red salsa is a particular stand out.
The staff is described as fun, friendly, hard-working, and helpful, with a server who was so helpful and a waitress who was a bundle of fun energy. The ordering process is pleasant and easy, and employees set everything up in a way that is not overwhelming. Despite a high noise level due to hard surfaces and a busy environment, the delicious food and great experience make it worth repeat visits, and customers express a desire to use La Cocinita again for future events.
