Stopped in at this cozy restaurant after watching roller derby at the nearby skating rink. This was a fantastic find + bonus find, if you or someone in your party needs gluten-free options.
The head chef/owner is a registered dietitian, which is awesome and she takes care in food preparation, including having a separate fryer for those of us who are celiac and/or need the safety of gluten-free prep. The only food item that has gluten is the empanada, everything else is gluten-free. Do let them know if you have celiac and/or need the separate fryer.
There were 3 in our dining party and we all ordered 3 drinks, 2 appetizers, and 3 entrees. Total with tip was $150 – the food was excellent and filling, I can’t wait to go back.

If you want authentic South American delicious cuisine, this is the place! I had the Criolla soup with beef. It was savory, hearty and delicious! It warmed my soul. Everything is made fresh to order. In the past I had their yucca fries which are deliciously crunchy! The owner of the restaurant was enthusiastic and kindly welcoming!

Super tasty Venezuelan cuisine. Have seen the restaurant for some time and finally tried it. It doesn’t have seating area for big groups, just go with your partner or your friend… or maybe order for takeout. We tried the chicken mechada and the rice bowl, both were delicious. The chef heard us saying that we were thinking about yuca fries but we didn’t order them and he brought us 2 so we could try them. Next time I will order the yuca fries! 10/10 will come again.

Went there with my family for dinner. We were treated very warmly. It was so small that it only had two tables for 4 customers each. But, it was neat and clean, quiet, and comfortable. The food was just okay as it was missing a touch of a little more seasoning and flavor.

Amazing food, cozy atmosphere, great service, and very kid friendly! My arepa was so good: crispy, cheesy, tender chicken, with spicy sauce. We had to try all three cakes and savored every bite!

I never had Venezuelan food before and was excited to give it a try. The owners are hospitable and friendly. They clearly put a lot of love into the food and service. The food is tasty and service is quick. It definitely feels like you’re having a family meal. Seating and parking are limited.
Bonus: They offer a completely halal menu making this a fairly unique option for halal eaters.

The food here is out of control. We had the Criollo soup with chicken, braised beef arepa with yuca fries with the picante sauce(very hot but tastes so good!), a rum based Guava cocktail and mango mousse for dessert.
The soup was probably one of the best we’ve ever had- super flavorful with plantains, veggies and chicken- absolutely incredible. Perfect for the cold night we were there.
The braised beef arepa was packed to the brim! The beef was super tender and moist with deep, rich flavor, with melted gooey cheese and some green onion garnish.
The yucca fries were crisped to perfection with a light, savory seasoning. I paired them with the picante sauce, which was pretty hot but not enough to deter me from eating it with the fries and the arepa. Definitely go for the picante if you can. It won’t ruin your meal with fire level heat that burns out your taste buds. Such a delicious flavor.
The guava rum cocktail was beautifully presented with a large square cube of ice and garnished with mint. Such a tasty and balanced drink. Will absolutely get it again.
And finally the mango mousse- light, not too sweet with a delicate cakey, shortbread base. The perfect dessert for the dishes we had.
Staff was super friendly and explained the origins of the soup we loved so much. Nice, clean well lit bathrooms too. We will be 100% going back soon.
10/10 highly recommend. Dont question it. Just go. You won’t regret it.

We recently ordered catering from Cocina Casera for our annual Volunteer Appreciation Party. We ordered several different types of empanadas and some yucca fries and they were a huge hit, not only did we get to enjoy the food but our volunteers were ecstatic the day of and all week following, asking me where we ordered from and commenting on the perfect pastry crust on the empanadas. There were a few people who got to try yucca fries for the first time and they were blown away! It was great to share with people that the food came from just down the street in case they wanted more!
We are very happy with the food and service we received and would recommend to other organizations to try catering with Cocina Casera! We also got a chance to snag some of their sauces which they are working to bring to market in bottle form so you can get their amazing flavors at home too!
Thank you again!

Delicious, clean, wholesome food. The owners are absolutely wonderful and you can taste the love and care they put into their recipes. I especially love that they’re open late. In a part of town where there aren’t a lot of good options at that time of night, it’s nice to see another wonderful small business adding some extra vibrancy and quality food to the neighborhood.
The yuca fries are crispy and dense, and the sauces to pair with them give added flavor and complexity. But the fusion rice bowl might be the MVP of the menu, which is such a wonderfully balanced and filling meal with so many great textures flavors. I’ll definitely be coming back.

Our new fav! A new spot has popped up in the heart of White Center where Bok-a-Bok used to be! Cocina Casera is a Venezualen/South American restaurant with a delicious menu. This minority, women owned business just moved from a takeout/delivery only outfit in Capitol Hill and now has room for you to dine in! They have halal and vegan options and a vibrant, innovative menu that changes seasonally. The food is delish!
The beef was a bit dry and lacked flavor but the chicken was flavorful and juicy. We’re so excited to try the arepas. The yuca are delicious!! Plantains were cooked perfectly. The avocado sauce was tasty and picante had a super kick to it!
