La Cocina Boricua is a Puerto Rican gem in the Bronx, offering a delightful dining experience with authentic home-style cooking. The atmosphere is lively, filled with great music that sets the tone for a fun night out. The staff is friendly and attentive, with a bartender-turned-waitress who ensures efficient service. The menu features delicious options, including Bacalao Guisado with Rice n Pink beans, which has been praised for its excellent flavor, and a succulent Palomillo steak wrap in a plantain. While some dishes may be pricey, with plates mostly around $16-$20, the quality of food and drinks makes it worthwhile. The restaurant has a cozy atmosphere, with a long bar and plenty of seating, making it a great spot for a quick sit-down lunch or a take-out dinner. On Fridays and Saturdays, karaoke nights with DJ Nap keep the party going. With a smile from the staff and a warm welcome, La Cocina Boricua is an intimate spot for a night out, perfect for bringing friends and family to experience authentic Criollo cuisine.
