I miss good Latin food growing up Ecuadorian in south Florida where there was an abundance everywhere!! This is the only place in Gainesville that satisfies the cravings. So delicious every time. Most delicious place to eat in Gainesville by far.

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.

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!

This food is absolutely delicious. We grab the food on our last day in Gainesville. We were not disappointed. The staff is very nice. You can take a look at the food to decide what your want. Variety of rice and meats and additions. It's fresh and hot. Very delicious. The yuca is very good as well. I really recommend this place.

Ok, I apologize for not posting earlier and with more photos. I kept eating the food too fast to take pics. This place is legit. This is the best Cuban food I've had in a long long time. It's all good. Every single thing any of us ordered was amazing. Compliments to the chef and staff!

We stopped in here to get lunch while our vehicle was being worked on. We got takeout of Mojo pork, chicken (Caribbean style) black beans, lentils and plantains. Also got a couple guava pastries for breakfast that were awesome. Generous portions and great flavorful food. I’d come back in a heartbeat.
