Apparently I missed the memo that Mayo Ketchup was no more and Salsa Rosada was the place to be! I…read moredecided to check this place out early Saturday afternoon. I walked in and decided bar seating looked best so I could watch tv. I was immediately given water, menus, and some time to decide. I was craving something sweet, so I got some passion fruit juice and decided on the steak bowl with arroz con gandules as my entree. The dish comes with steak, black beans, pico, white rice, jack cheese, and maduros. I think most dishes can be customized, but rest assured they're nothing short of flavor! Since I was one of few people, my dish came out rather quickly. The steak was tender and flavorful; the rice was seasoned perfectly and the maduros were fried to perfection. Everything was even better than I imagined. The server/bartender did a great job at keeping my water refilled and making sure I didn't needed anything. I was quite pleased with the food and service overall and I look forward to my return visit.

Finally! I made it to this place. And I was not disappointed. I went with a friend and she also…read morereally enjoyed it. We ordered grilled chicken bowl, chicken and a beef empanadas, Cuban sandwich, maduros (sweet plaintains), avocado salad and Nutella empanadas! Obviously I took some home. All the food was really good. The Nutella empanadas were stand outs. The other empanadas were good but a little greasy I think because I ordered the corn. Maybe the flour ones are not so greasy??? They have a fair amount of indoor seating without the tables being too close. Also there is an outdoor patio which is where we sat. Might be better to be under the awning so no rascally bird puts a deposit on your food. (It barely missed the the Nutella empanadas) I can't wait to go back to try more menu items.

I have to admit, I haven't been back to Cocina Latina since it moved from Delmar Blvd. I remember…read moreit being quite delicious, but I was a bit disappointed when I took my mom there a few weeks ago. I remember the Lomo Saltado being one of their popular dish and it being tender and juicy. This time, it was rough and chewy to the point that it hurt our jaws. I found it odd because the steak that came with the Tallarin Verde was tender and perfectly cooked. We also ordered the Jalea, which came out cold and dry. They decorated the place with Cinco de Mayo and Mother's day feats, which were really cool and pretty! I'd like to give this place another try because there are so many good reviews about this place. Since the Lomo Saltado was disappointing, I plan to try their ceviche and the Aji deGallina next, as those seem to be popular dishes as well.

The interior is beautifully decorated, I felt transported to another land. Delicious, authentic food with excellent service. The veggie fajitas were outstanding, loaded with a variety of vegetables and served sizzling hot. We were quite full from appetizers and entrees, but had to try a dessert. I was intrigued by Blue Corn Pudding. It arrived piping hot, very blue almost purple with the consistency of soup, rather than pudding. Heavily laced with cinnamon, tasted somewhat like spiced apples and was super sweet. Tasty, took most of it home to enjoy over ice cream or angel food cake. Will definitely return to try more delicacies.

We were escorted to a booth near the bar area, took our seats and ordered soda and tea. Surprisingly, they came in smallish plastic cups with lids. Orders were placed and while waiting we admired some of the painted walls. The plaintains were nicely cooked and filled with beef. Being smothered in mozzarella cheese was nice also. We weren't disappointed with the taste either. The menu is pretty extensive so it will take a few minutes to figure out what you want. Overall, an excellent experience and we'll be back.

I walked up to the front and there were two girls in front of the register on their phones. It took them a couple minutes before they looked up and when they did, seemed less than enthused for me to be there. I looked at the menu before I came and knew I wanted the Pabellon with beef and some passion fruit juice. They said the were out it but had blackberry instead. I paid and sat down A few minutes later my food was ready and they came and gave it to me. The portion of meat was smaller than I expected and I had way more rice than everything else. The maduros were pretty good, as were the meat and beans. I'd probably pass on the blackberry juice again because it was rather blah. AI was surprised at the tables they had and was expecting more round or square, not picnic style tables. Overall, I had pretty nice visit. The portions weren't all congruent and it was freezing but I'd probably visit again.

We got the sampler, some empanadas, and an arepa to share. The portions are HUGE we got two meals out of it! And they STUFF everything full of meat. If you think it seems expensive, it's because you're getting your monies worth in the chicken and beef going into them. The cilantro sauce was amazing and went well with everything. Highly recommend the try.

This was great in that we could converse with no issues, but it was too warm in the room. They had fans, but we had to turn the fans away from blowing on our food, hence we didn't get cooled down from them. The food wasn't that great either. I ordered the Chicharron and though the tostones underneath were DELICIOUS, the fried pork belly on top (and there was a lot), seemed undercooked to me. It was chewy, not crispy as I've experienced it before. I was unable to eat most of it. The cocktails were delicious and the service was as good as can be expected considering he was having to go up and down the stairs each time. Maybe they're better for dinner?

Not sure that it makes sense with the food, but some fun stuff to look at! You order at the bar and get a number for your table. Food is brought to you. Silverware is on the tables, but napkins and water are at a station at one end of the dining room, so you pick that all up yourself. Food came out quick and was really tasty! The pollo guisado was the favorite at the table and had a huge portion size! Restaurant seems like it would be a better fit with decor that matches the food and taking orders at the table. Without these, it feels a bit disjointed and odd to ask for a tip when I have to get my own water/napkins. Good food, just one of weird environment for it. Having Madela beer would be a great addition too!
