La Cocina

[MJP]

Just off of Route 46 in Fairfield (the Passaic Ave/Caldwells or Two Bridges Road exits) is La Cocina, a little deli that's been there for a while. They do all your standard, forgettable deli fare, but there's a section of the menu devoted to Latin-American specialties. They have yuca rellena, platanos maduros, black or pink beans, and Cuban sandwiches available daily, and they have different specials during the week.

If you're in the area and are craving some Cuban or Latin food, this is closer than Union City and pretty darn decent. Plus it's inexpensive. I go for the Cubans and platanos and I'm never disappointed. They also do homemade empanadas (Sorry for my lack of the ~ but I don't know the ANSI for it :-P) and other good stuff.

Check it out if you're hungry and want something different in the area.
