What People Are Saying About La Cocina
The Owner
La Cocina
Owner
La Cocina has set a traditional standard for Mexican cuisine in New York city when it first opened the doors in 1986. You can sit and enjoy your meal at our outdoor cafe, or step through the large wood framed doors revealing a high ceiling and beautiful decor. There is a long handcrafted, wood framed bar where many a story has been exchanged between friends and strangers alike. A full array of specialty drinks can be had, but most guests in the know will have the signature La Cocina Margarita. Those who opt for it will be seated at specialty designed glass top tables under which they can revel at spicy peppers and dried beans and rice, giving a glimpse of many of the items from scratch used in our secret recipes. We specialize in private parties we have a large private room with a private bar that can accomodate your next function.

i've ordered from several mexican places in the area and all have been below average. This place is great. tasty, fresh, not oily like so many of the other mexican joints. The service was a little slow but I was in no hurry. Definitely would go back.

Being from Texas and a vegetarian, I have yet to find a great mexican food place in New York City, until now! I have lived here for over a year now, and finally I stumbled onto La Cocina. This place reminds me of home(Texas). They are super vegetarian friendly as well!!! I had the vegetarian tamales!! AMAZING! the hot sauce and the guacamole, were amazing. The best guacamole I have ever had! This place is great and I can't wait to go back and try something else!!!
