Great food and hospitality. Would highly recommend to anyone who is looking to get a good size meal. The staff is super friendly and accommodating. The food was so good that I had breakfast here and then came back for dinner that evening. Would highly recommend! read more

La Cocinita - Breakfast Combo w Pork Chop & Flour Tortilla - Latin American Near Me - Kenner, Louisiana

I was out looking for coffee, as my hotel keeps failing me after waking up late, after night shift. I found this place, and stayed, because it smelled like heaven. It's a simple strip mall restaurant, but the food is amazing, but in quality and quantity. I ordered the camarones al la Diabla. Not only did I get a very full plate of that, but also a plate of fried plantains, and a third plate with salad, beans, rice, curtido and a hunk of cheese. It was delicious, and enough food for brunch and dinner (almost 10 hours later, because I was so full). All that for $17.95! Service was friendly, fast and efficient. read more

This was our first time here. The food was prepared after we ordered it and was fresh, hot, and delicious. Service was great. Very nice people. The atmosphere is like a comfortable neighborhood restaurant. I had one of the "breakfast for dinner" and my husband had the "Diablo Shrimp". We were both very happy with our meals and will definitely be back. read more

It was very good and excellent service. The Honduran ambiance is just that. We should have gotten it to go because it is COLD in there.!!!! read more

You can never go wrong with this place! Anytime I visit NOLA I always come by to eat some delicious Honduran food. Be warned though the food portions are a lot, so they are shareable. I would say this place is pretty solid. read more

Had some of their vegetarian tacos on the way out of Second Line and they were amazing - must try if you are in town, they let us try all of the sauces and they were definitely planning on going back as soon as possible! read more

Great good. Decent service and of course LGBTQIA's++ friendly. . Great decor. Especially for my twitter pics read more

This place is all about authenticity; Be prepared and not in a bad way. Not a whole lot of English anywhere in the restaurant, But don't let that deter you! Staff banter with patrons in Spanish, Singing outbursts happen sporadically... I feel like that when I walk out the front door, I'll be in the heart of Honduras. As far as the food goes... amazing. The steak is tender and seasoned very well. Tortillas are fresh made daily. It's simple, no flair, but you can tell some pride was taken. I always recommend this place to anybody coming through New Orleans. If you're looking for a light lunch and there's two of you, split the Carne Asada! read more

Great food and great service, I will definitely come back, I ordered Pollo con Tajadas delicious

Great little restaurant. Nachos Cafe En La Cocinita. The owners have found a great way to combine both of their cultures. (Wife is from Honduras & husband is from Mexico) You get A LOT of food for a very good price. One of my favorite dishes is the beef and chicken fajitas, which comes with salad, rice, beans, a big slice of queso fresco and a side of tortillas, maduros or tostones. I opt for the maduros... always! All for just $12.00 The taquitos Hondureños are very good as well. You really can't wrong with anything you order. read more

This place is so delicious and reasonably priced. Believe me when I say it's hard to find authentic Latin food. I have been coming here for years. Parking is not the best, but this place is a great "hole in the wall" I would highly recommend. read more

I could live on their baleadas alone for the rest of my life! I got it to go, & I couldn't wait to eat it, so no picture- I'll get another one for lunch & add a pic Lol The baleada is huge, either a 10" or 12" grilled tortilla (slightly thicker than a standard tortilla). Beans were creamy & well seasoned, must have been 1/2 of an avocado in there, & it's not sour cream, but Honduran crema- perfection! Could have been a little more cheese, but still worthy of 5 stars!

Food took a while to come out, but it was worth the wait. The plate was as packed as the restaurant. Carne asada was worth the trip.

A great find, truly authentic food. From the time I walked in the door I knew this was a great spot. Tables full of people on a Monday night which is a great sign to me. The wait was a little long for the food so be prepared to wait for amazing food. read more

Good food but waiting time is ridiculous!! Need more personal attending costumers. I ordered my food through the phone, was told by OWNER that it would be ready in 20 minutes, when i get there 40 minutes later they haven't even started making my food.. 1 hour later i was assured 10 more minutes about 1hour and a half later my phone was ready. So make sure you order and give it 1 hour to pick it up! read more

Authentic Hispanic food for a good price! I love their Baleadas and Carne Asada! I dine in as well as order to go. They complete your order very quickly and the customer service is great. Try it you won't regret it! read more

This was my 2nd time here. Food was just as amazing as the first time. I love that we are the only white people here! And we fumble through ordering because the waitress appears to speak little English. That just makes it more authentic to me. I would never have thought to add sour cream and avocado to eggs and beans, but it works. The plantains are awesome, especially with a little sour cream on them. The pork chops are amazing! Everything together is awesome. One of these days maybe we can make it in for lunch and try something different. All the food looks and smells amazing! read more

The balaedas are so good here!! Everything is so fresh and you can taste it! I could live off of the steak one or chicken. Both are so good!!! read more

Ayyy que rico! Everything here is amazing. Make sure to get the beef or chicken soup, if it's available. They run out fast! It may seem a little intimidating for you non-Latinos or non-Spanish speaking folk, but as long as you come in and say you're new to this place and tell them what you normally like, they'll help you out. Or, ask what they recommend according to your favorite meat. read more

Went here bc the Nola Nica restaurant was packed. Good service and excellent carne asada, w beans and rice. Platanos verdes were meh but the maduros were delicious. I want to figure out the cut of meat they use for asada so I can do it myself. read more

Really liked this place! The food was great! Try the carne azada platter. It's good for two people but if you are a big eater, get your own plate. They also had friendly service. The pupusa's were delicious; also huge! I would definitely come here again. read more

La Cocinita - Carne Azada Platter - Latin American Near Me - Kenner, Louisiana

This place is awesome. The location would be what you could describe as a dive... but fear not. When you walk in, you'll know you picked a good one because this place smells like heaven. The food is incredible, affordable, and fun. There is a great festive atmosphere with Latin music, lots of people talking and enjoying themselves, and plenty going on. The wait staff are helpful, quick, and courteous. This place is authentic, so a heads up, they speak very little English. The place is clean, busy, and deserves every bit of a four star rating. Do yourself a favor and go. read more

The food is authentic and delicious! Real Honduran food!!! It's even better that everything is made to order. The platters are enormous at very decent prices!!

They serve the best carne asada. It's worth my drive from Algiers to Kenner. Big portions. Great prices. Their horchata is also good. I would post a picture but I always devour my plate. read more

Not the place to go when you want to get spiffed up and fancy. Go in and grab a table. The waitress will bring you a menu. The menu is in english & spanish so don't worry! I didn't know what to get so I got the #2 breakfast and it was good! My daughter got the Baleada with beef. YUM! Would go back again. read more

La Cocinita - Who needs Denny's or ihop when you can eat breakfast at places like this. - Latin American Near Me - Kenner, Louisiana

I come here to get my fix of Honduran/latin food. Like in most restaurants in Honduras, the food is great but the service is slow. Since most of its patrons are Hispanic, most people know what they want before they set foot inside. If you happen to wander inside, bring a Latino friend to help you pick out a meal. Picking out of the menu will be very challenging BC they're all over the place and so much to pick from. Being Honduran myself, it took me a while to know what to order. I usually come for lunch and order whatever is already made to ensure promptness. Picking from the menu an item that must be prepared will guarantee 20 minutes if wait minimum to possibly 45 minutes or more. Avoid coming weekend mornings, too hectic there. Since this place has virtually no competition, its prices aren't the cheapest. Overall, the food justifies the means. For an ex pat Honduran like myself, I've had much, much better.... in Honduras. read more

The food here is authentic. The café con leche was so good. I ordered another one to go. The first one was so hot, I had to wait a few minutes to drink it, but I love my coffee really hot. The bf had 3 taquitos de pollo. He ate it all. I had a baleada that was huge. I forgot to take pictures because I love Honduran food and was so excited finding an authentic Honduran place. I ordered the tajadas con pollo frito. It was a very large plate. I barely ate anything off of it. It had about 3 or 4 pieces of fried chicken. So delicious! They also serve pupusas but we didn't order any. Loved the restaurant! read more
