In town visiting friends, staying around the corner and the manager of the hotel suggested this spot.My husband is a serious carnivore and I have a ton of allergies. There were 4 of us so we ordered a variety of dishes to share. Eda was incredibly helpful with answering all my allergy questions. She definitely knows her menu and made sure there was something for everyone. Quality of food is everything and Cocina Casera didn’t disappoint - the soups, fries, bowl, and chicken sandwich were all super fresh and the flavors were incredible! We will definitely be back the next time we’re in town - sad they don’t have other locations - fingers crossed they will soon!Highly - highly recommend!Enjoy - you won’t be disappointed!Vegetarian options: Almost all dishes are vegetarian - you are in charge and can add the protein.Thank you Cosina Casera!!!Dietary restrictions: I have 8 of the 9 top allergies - so nice to find a place that gives you more than one item to choose from on the menu! Almost every item is vegan and you can add an animal protein if you want meat.
I recently had the pleasure of ordering take-out at Cocina Casera, and let me tell you, it was an absolutely delightful experience from start to finish! Nestled in the heart of Capitol Hill, this gem of an establishment brings the vibrant flavors of Venezuela and South America to the forefront with unparalleled finesse.Now, let's talk about the food – oh, the food! Cocina Casera's menu boasts a tantalizing array of Venezuelan specialties that are as scrumptious as they are authentic. Each dish is meticulously crafted with love and care, resulting in flavors that dance on your palate and leave you craving more.I started my culinary journey with their arepas, and let me just say, they were nothing short of perfection. The crisp exterior gave way to a soft, "pillowy" interior, generously stuffed with savory fillings that left me speechless. And don't even get me started on their empanadas and Canoas de Platanos – each bite was a symphony of flavors that transported me straight to the streets of Venezuela. Super delicious!!!But the culinary adventure didn't stop there. The entrees at Cocina Casera are a testament to the chef's mastery of South American cuisine. Whether you're craving their succulent bento box options, fusion bowls, tasty entrees, or hearty vegetarian options, you're sure to find something that delights your taste buds.To top it all off, the service at Cocina Casera is top-notch. Can you believe that Chef Eda and Chef Angel personally took time to come out to hand me my take-out order?!? Awesome! They were amazingly friendly, genuine, attentive, knowledgeable, and passionate about ensuring that my experience was an unforgettable take-out experience.In conclusion, Cocina Casera is a culinary treasure in Capitol Hill, Seattle. Whether you're a seasoned foodie or simply looking to indulge in some delicious Venezuelan fare, this establishment an absolute must-order to try out for yourself.Trust me, you won't be disappointed -- it'll feel like the home-cooked meal you wish you always had!

Cocina Casera is one of my favorite Seattle restaurants! I usually get the Venezuelan fusion bowl, with a side of tostones, yucca fries, or an empanada. The food is always exquisitely spiced with exactly the right amount of oil and salt. As a vegan, I find the options for me make zero sacrifices of flavor, and my partner who isn't vegan loves the meat options too. Sometimes the chef Eda leaves me thoughtful notes on the delivery bags :)Vegetarian options: They are tasty, filling, and honestly pretty nutritious. I would highly recommend!
Cocina Casera at Cap Hill Kitchens has captured my children's hearts and appetites, securing its spot as our family's favorite dining takeout. The tostones are perfectly crispy and salty, while the empanadas are filled with savory, mouthwatering flavors that even my pickiest eaters can't resist - and I have some picky eaters! If you're looking for family-friendly food, Cocina Casera is a must! Trust me, your taste buds and your little ones will thank you!

I got my thanksgiving family meal catered by Cocina Casera and it was delicious! Everyone in my family loved it, especially the mashed potatoes. It took the stress away from having to cook and we had time to spend just being together eating instead of prepping! Definitely a great value!
I stopped by Cocina Casera to pickup takeout and ordered their a la plancha bento, latin bowl and empanadas.Placing my order was super easy, you can order on various delivery apps or on cap hill kitchen's website. Pickup was very smooth, I got my order through the lockers. The one downside is that parking is hard - I was looking for parking for a while and the lot across the street was $20 after 5pm. :( The loading zones were taken as there are alot of delivery drivers also picking up food.The a la plancha bento was amazing! I got it with their chicken, which is braised for 24 hours. It was packed with flavors and tasted super fresh, as if it was made to order. I liked the yucca fries and salad it came with, as well as the plantains.The latin bowl was my favorite and I ordered it with the braised beef. Again, the beef was so tender and very well flavored. I liked how the bowl was stuffed with rice, beans and meat. I wish that it came with a bit more veggies (it came with arugula) and an option for sour cream, but other than that, this will definitely be a go to! I topped mine off with the red sauce and the avocado green sauce and it was delicious.Lastly, we got the empanadas which was another star of the show. The empanadas are made fresh in house and the breading was very flaky and crispy. They did not skimp out on the meat inside and I loved pairing these with their dipping sauce.All in all, I would highly recommend ordering from here! My boyfriend took the a la plancha bento box to work the next day and he got so many compliments on the presentation!Dietary restrictions: Halal and Vegan options available

Absolutely the best food we ever had. Everything we ordered was on the level of the upper class. Recommended appetizers: Empanadas, Canoas de Platanos, Tostones.Soups are delicious.Entrees we recommend are Pabellón Criollo Bento Box, Mechada Bowl.But I would not stop on that and would consider any other dish since everything from this restaurant is delicious. My wife and I did order twice and both times there was no miss.
