La Cocina is a busy restaurant that serves fantastic food and has excellent service. It offers a variety of options, including vegetarian choices such as the spinach empanada. Guests can choose their meal with a selection of meat and side dishes. The staff, particularly Manny, is friendly and welcoming. Many customers enjoy the outdoor seating area and find the food to be delicious, with some highlighting the Buffalo Chicken empanada as a must-try. Portions are generous, and the food tastes like a home-cooked meal. The Cuban sandwich is also highly recommended. While most experiences are positive, some visitors have mentioned concerns about hygiene practices, such as staff coughing near food or dirty takeout boxes, which could be improved for an even better experience. Overall, La Cocina remains a popular spot for good food and friendly service.
