COCINA SABROSA

We stopped into Cocina Sabrosa for the RI Food Fights’ “Taco Mania!” event. The dining room itself is brightly lit, giving off a distinct cafeteria-like feel—it’s clean and functional, but not particularly cozy. You place your order at the counter, and the food is brought out to your table. The service was relaxed and generally nothing special, just the standard efficient delivery you'd expect from a counter-service spot. We tried the Carne Asada Tacos — decent flavor, though not quite standout, and the lime wedges served with them seemed a bit past their prime. We also tried the Cubano sandwich. Visually, it was great: nicely pressed, generously stuffed, and made with an authentic type of Cuban bread. Unfortunately, the flavor was a letdown. It was a bit flat and lacked the punchy, vibr

The restaurant itself is satisfactory but the food isn’t. The patacon is supposed to be a sandwich but was just thrown in the box with the plantain on the bottom and the meat on top. It was terrible presentation. My food was good tasting but I’m eating and I’m finding chicken bones mixed in with the chicken, cheese, mayonnaise and ketchup! I get that it’s real chicken and that’s great but what would happen if I wasn’t paying attention?! I could’ve broke a whole tooth on bones mixed in with my food. I’m very disappointed.

Another stop in the month of October rifoodfights for taco's. Ended up getting Carnitas which looked good and even tasted amazing. I'm always looking to try different spots in the Providence area, you never know what corner or side street you'll find the best small business food spot. 👍, will be back again.

I stopped for take out after work and the food was delicious 😋. The tostones were delicious. Nice and crispy with just enough salt. The steak was full of flavor and cooked perfectly. I couldn't wait to get home to eat this and can't wait to go back. I didn't even know I liked chimmichuri sauce until I tried theirs. Even the mayokechup was the best. Everything was loaded with flavor. I will definitely be back soon!!

Cocina Sabrosa definitely lives up to its name! They have the best chicharrones — perfectly crispy and full of flavor. Everything we ordered was so delicious, the place was super clean, and the service was friendly and fast. You can really tell they take pride in what they do. Highly recommend! 🙌🔥
