La Cocina

Great little Cuban restaurant in downtown Newark with a great vibe, the owner Manny is great

Good Cuban food. Glad to find vegetarian options for Lunch. Staff is super friendly. Manny the host has amazing vibes. Loved the overall experience and a place to have a quiet sit down lunch Vegetarian options: Some vegetarian options. Spinach Empanada was good

Great food. Good people.

First time today, no lie, best rice, beans, plantains and pork I've ever had. Don't understand the negative reviews, the food is anything but bland. The weird smell???? Maybe some people don't know what real food smells like.....

Great little kitchen in the city

I had a five hour layover at the airport, and caught the 62 bus and happened upon La Concina. I was warmly welcomed by the patron, and I asked for a little of everything - incl plantains and Cuban lasagna. Wait staff had lovely banter going on, including singing along to the radio. I’d go back regularly if it weren’t 3000 odd miles away. And it was delicious :-)

Food was amazing

I ordered the garlic shrimp which was like 15-17 bucks. It was just Tupperware filled with rice with like 7 pieces of shrimp. For almost 20 bucks that’s ridiculous. I’m pissed.
