La Cocina - Newark

The portions are huge, the staff is nice. Perfect place for a Latin American lunch. We're going there regularly with colleagues. The only thing I miss there a bit is more variety of vegetables/salad. But perhaps it's not what customers want... ?

Great food at a great price. I should know I'm cuban.

The food was delicious. They were very quick on delivery. I will definitely order from them again.

The food is plentiful so you won 't leave hungry. I had pulled pork with rice and black beans and sweet plantains. Everything was very tasty. I usually prefer the pulled pork to be a bit more smoky and a little dry while this was more wet . It was still very good. At another time I mixed pulled pork with pulled chicken and I think I like chicken better. Atmosphere is not all that great, a bit ran down but food makes up for it. Good place to grab lunch at, around downtown Newark.

I ordered a chicken empanada and received a beef one instead. The steak and rice is pretty good but I wish it was a little more flavorful. Overall I rate it a 6/10.
