Kocina Latina Deli

Let me start with the food , I went with my daughter and had Chicharron and sweet plantains to begin with and an iced cold Presidente then we ordered the amazing mar y Tierra (lobster, skirt steak,mofongo, shrimps, salad and grilled chicken) it was incredible!! Now, Estrella (our wonderful server) was amazing, so attentive and sweet , she was gave us morir soñando and papaya juice and it was sooo good!! Ask for her when you go there ..you won't be disappointed! She is the best!! Great food, and Great service

I ordered a bunch of items from this establishment to see if their Food held up to the reviews I read. I am a Foodie and will speak my honest opinion. Their beans were flavorless. Looked great, had the right texture but very bland. I was looking for at least a hint of sofrito and a little salt to bring out those flavors and it wasn't there. The Salmon I had was baked to perfection. Nothing to brag about, but was descent. Their Pernil (Pork) was tender/moist a solid 3 out of 5. Could've been more flavorful. The beef Empenada was probably the BEST thing I enjoyed. I ordered a Whole Chicken and although it looked appetizing, it again lacked flavor and my wife thought it was dry. We also ordered a soup similar to a Sancocho. That had a nice flavor and was Robust. Not sure if I'll be back but w

Food is delicious pretty much better than the other Dominican restaurants in the area. And the staff is pretty chill the way I like it. No attitude or BS. Ready t serve a hungry customer. Only bad thing is their parking is too tight.

The food was good and the staff was friendly at first, which made for a nice experience. However, when it came time to pay, I noticed each item was $1–2 higher than listed. When I asked about it, the cashier got defensive and said it was due to paying by credit card. I calmly told her there was no reason to be so aggressive, and she apologized, explaining that customers often complain about the credit card fees and it makes her uncomfortable. I appreciated the honesty, but it still didn’t excuse the attitude. She then skipped the tip option before I could leave one, which felt rude…especially since the rest of the staff was so kind and deserved it. I left cash in the jar anyway. Overall, good food and nice atmosphere, but that one interaction really changed the experience. Tip: don’t wor

Although they messed up my order and did not deliver the salad and desserts, I have to say what they did deliver was absolutely delicious. I called Ariel and he said the next time I come he would give me what Door Dash didn’t deliver. The rice and beans were really something special. The chicken was perfect and the plantains could not be prepared better. I was impressed and will be going back. Mistakes happen, I get it. But great food doesn’t happen. And this place delivers the later. I should be mad, honestly, but what came was so good all I have is a smile and an extremely satisfied tummy. Great food! This is a follow up to my earlier review. Lo Ina Latina Deli is Waterbury’s hidden gem. Their chicken. Is the best I have ever had. There fried pork was off the charts. Perfectly prepared.
