So glad I randomly found this place! Quick counter service and delicious home-cooked meals. The curry chicken was so tender and bursting with flavor. The medium size plate has plenty of food for its price. I’m excited to come back and try their other options.

Awesome place great folks here. Clean. Well thought out. Quick cafeteria style business with some of the best home cooked food of any business around. Food just like mom used to make. Everything we tried tasted great and interesting and authentic. And the value was really great. Highly recommend it. Go!

I’ve lived in Gainesville 9 years … and today I finally made it to La Cocina. It was definitely worth the wait. The staff were friendly and the food was delicious. If I wasn’t moving next week I’d absolutely be a repeat customer.
