They have a Asian fusion menu but I ultimately went for the pollo saltado. It was cooked well and it is the only place where they have a really spicy green sauce. Without it can be a little bland. They also had a few chicken pieces with bone. My friend ordered the beef heart. He said it was delicious. The cheviche however was way too spicy for him. Despite him asking it to be mild. The star of the dinner was the chicha drink. It was sweet and refreshing. The service could have been quicker being that it was not that busy on the weeknight. Also the prices are alot more than other local Peruvian restaurants.

They had a wide variety of food, all ranging from beef, pork, chicken, seafood, and some vegetarian options. They had an extensive wine menu, and my boyfriend joyfully enjoyed a glass of wine. I got the brazilian fried chicken, which was extremely flavorful, and i was surprised there wasn't any breading on the chicken as typical fried chicken does. I much preferred the no-breading style, which I think is the Brazilian way. I would have preferred a boneless dish, as there were quite a few pieces with bones, and it was pretty oily at the bottom of the dish. It came with two very large sides, and totaled around $25. 100% would recommend this dish, but I do think at a lower price point, this could make do with just one side, instead of two, as the main dish was quite large enough to fill me up. My favorite part of this meal was the garlic butter bread that they provide for free. It comes out extremely fresh with lots of chopped up garlic, which is my favorite part of garlic bread. It was a great way to start the dinner off. The service was great and the waiters were extremely attentive. They regularly checked up on how we felt about the food and filled up our drinks. The restaurant was pretty empty while we were dining, but the space was laid out very nicely and the decor was beautiful. Would come again if it wasn't so far!

I'm a creature of habit, so I haven't tried many other items on the menu, however the empanadas are top tier. They are fresh, and the beef empanada, on top of being large enough to be a meal in itself, is very juicy and delicious. The line moves quickly. If you aren't familiar with Cuban food, it can be overwhelming ordering, however if you don't have allergies, you have nothing to lose if you choose a food that looks good but you have no idea what it is. You'll find that anything you try at La Cocina is delicious.

But I am proud of myself for resisting temptation, plus it gives me the opportunity to try a variety of meat. So today I had chicken, sausage, fried bologna, and shredded pork, and I've got to say all this meat was cooked to perfection and flavored to almost perfection. I really enjoyed all the meat I had here. When I'm off my carnivore diet, I can't wait to come back and try the rice and beans and other options they have here. So my recommendation is yes, definitely give this spot a chance if you're debating on whether to go here or not.

The pan con chicharron was incredibly packed, I could not even fit it in my mouth, so much flavor yet little fat. The tamal was good, not the best I've had but pretty solid. Both were "true" Peruvian servings. The jugo especial was very good!! It took me back to going to the mercado back home and getting one. The service is absolutely incredible. The owner is incredibly sweet and told us his story about his family's restaurant back home. They have plenty of seating and a nice bar area as well. I will most definitely be coming back to give their lunch and dinner dishes a try!

Their food is 10/10 with large portions, fair prices and most importantly, the food was flavorful and hit the spot! steak fried rice- lots of umami, generous portion and topped with scrambled egg. This is a must order! Bistek Ala pobre- a bowl of white rice, fried plantains, French fries and 2 pieces of steak seasoned very well. Breaded chicken with rice and plantains and fries- thinly breaded and crispy, a generous portion as well! Lime lemonade - a carafe we order- sweet and flavored just right! Base ceviche- a must order as well! Perfectly balanced and seasoned with lime and everything needed for a great ceviche. They have other kinds but I'd gladly order this again. Street parking, service is friendly, credit cards/ cash. Restrooms are clean.
