La Cocina de Abuela - Gainesville (FL)

5 /5 Doruk Toklu: 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.

2 /5 Yating Z.: This’s our first time to visit this restaurant, honestly, disappointed, no else! The way to order you food is seem like Chipotle, but less meat, and a lot of rice ( a lot of rice, I thought the big box- $14.99–is only for rice), one of the order is pork chop, another one is shredded beef (I counted— 1.5 spoons, the older lady shook most of the meat back to her pot), tasted fair, not something outstanding. If I give a score, it should be 5.5 out of 10. Two people with 2 bottles water and food, totally $40, La Magritte is definitely better than this restaurant. Rice , rice, a lot of rice , No, I am not recommend this restaurant

5 /5 Christopher (C. André): 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. Its fresh and hot. Very delicious. The yuca is very good as well. I really recommend this place.

5 /5 Lindsey Woody: 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.

5 /5 Samuel Torres: 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!
