All delicious, albeit a little salty to my taste. La Cocina is a popular catering spot for Rutgers events, so I have been fortunate to try a wide variety of offerings such as pastelon, pernil, and chicken stew -- and you can't really go wrong with any of them. The empanadas are also a must (make sure to ask for hot sauce), and while difficult, try to save room for dessert! Flan and tres leches are soooo good. Lunch time gets really busy, so you can avoid the rush by coming a little later. However, the staff is good about moving everyone along, so you won't be waiting forever. Definitely give La Cocina a try!

As a Puerto Rican, I was pleasantly surprised at how good everything was. The pernil was juicy and full of flavor, and the arroz con gandules? Perfect. I've had plenty of rice in my life, and it's usually either way too dry or oily with no taste. This one was spot on. I even got a side of red beans and they tied it all together. Flavor? On point. Service? Super friendly. Not sure when I'll be back since I was just visiting, but if I am ill definitely coming here again.

THE DO NOT LIKE TO SERVE NON-HISPANICS. 12/11/2021 4:20 ish…read moreLets start this off by saying I am a Jamaican woman. For months I would come to this Spanish restaurant every single day because I Really enjoy their food. I have witnessed how they would treat non Hispanics and it's absolutely DISGUSTING. First incident I witnessed but I wasn't there for the full incident so I didn't really have a full understanding of what took place, however they refused to serve the woman because she didn't look very pleasant. The second incident they had a new worker and she was responsible for serving me let's start off by saying she wasn't happy to serve my food, I ordered stew chicken and Every single part of the chicken she put on my platter was the part with all bones so I had to ask her to please replace a few of them. Lastly today I had my final straw. I went there to get my usual stew chicken. There was another family ahead of me so I waited to be served next. Afterwards a couple came in after me while I was standing there waiting to be served. There is this old man, not sure if he is the owner but he has always been very unpleasant to people who weren't Hispanics. He came and served the couple that came in after me while I was still standing there without asking who was next. The gentleman looked and he continued anyway while I stood there and around in disbelieve as if I was invisible. They served that couple yes that came in after me. I was so furious at the discrimination. So I asked the lady working there if they do not serve non Hispanics and if there was anyone there that I could speak to that spoke proper English and they said no. No apology nothing whatsoever. It's so disgusting that we still have to deal with this in America. NEVER AGAIN I'm highly upset because I spent a lot of money there. Also I noticed I usually buy the same exact thing and most of the prices are different on my bank statement

A 24-hour Jamaican spot? Yes, please! After an exhausting…read moreday of adulting, we ended up here around 2:38 a.m. and I'm so glad we did. This place was exactly what you hope for when you're looking for amazing food at an unexpected hour. The food was absolutely delicious: fresh, flavorful, and cooked with so much love. We had the oxtail, jerk chicken, peas and rice, and cabbage. Unfortunately, they were out of macaroni and cheese, but everything else was so good that it didn't even matter. The prices are fair for the portions and the convenience of having a 24-hour Jamaican spot available when you need it. That alone is a huge plus. The staff were friendly and welcoming and took our order with a smile!! The area is a little rough around the edges, but we felt fine grabbing our food and heading out. They offer takeout, which makes it even more convenient. I'll definitely be returning again and again. Great food, great flavors, and a true gem when you need a delicious meal at any hour.

The fries weren't available either. The chicken tasted nasty snd not cooked enough. The waitress brought out the one chicken no fries and no salad.
