La Cocina - Newark

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.

Came to my schools cafeteria set up a table advertising their business. Good food and I will stop by there sometime next month.

Disappointing recent order. Half filled empanadas and missing sauces. If you are reading this please use the old recipes that you used until three weeks ago. The new one is not up to the mark. Also the filling in the chicken empanada is not as flavorful as it used to be. The Cuban shell used to be so much better. Used to be a go to place and loved it. Time to look for other Cuban options

Went there today for the first time to pick up lunch and i was very pleased. You ask for what you want and you get to have a choice of meat and side. I do wish there were more side choices. Food was very tasty. Would go there again.
