At La Cocina, we’ve always believed that great food is about more than just a meal—it’s about bringing people together, celebrating culture, and serving up flavors that leave a lasting impression. So, imagine our excitement when we learned that Eater NY, a trusted voice in the food world, included us in their latest roundup of "The Best Restaurants in Newark, New Jersey"! It’s an honor to be recognized as one of the standout spots in a city bursting with culinary talent, and we’re thrilled to share this moment with you—our amazing community.
A Taste of Newark’s Finest
Eater NY’s feature shines a spotlight on Newark’s vibrant dining scene, and we’re proud to be part of it. At La Cocina, we bring our heart and soul to every dish, blending bold Cuban flavors with a welcoming vibe that’s pure Newark. Whether you’re savoring our smoky, tender pollo asado, digging into a plate of fresh, succulent seafood, or indulging in one of our melt-in-your-mouth desserts, you’re tasting the passion that’s earned us this incredible nod. It’s not just food—it’s a little piece of our story, served up hot and fresh.
What Makes La Cocina Special?
We’re more than just a restaurant; we’re a gathering place where locals and visitors alike come to unwind and enjoy. Our cozy space hums with the energy of Newark, from the sizzle of the grill to the clink of glasses filled with refreshing drinks. Eater NY called out the diversity and resilience of Newark’s food scene, and we’re proud to contribute our own unique flair—think garlicky, spice-kissed dishes and sweets that make you want to linger just a little longer. It’s Cuban cuisine with a Jersey twist, and it’s all for you.
