4/100 La Cocina Poblana (restaurant review)
La Cocina Poblana
Mexican Restaurant
Emeryville, CA
Restaurant review
Basic info:
Moderately priced (16-19 on the entree) Mexican Restaurant with a bar in the restaurant and open kitchen format. You can watch the food prep from the dining room. Casual dining, street parking.
This is our go to place when we go to the movies over in Emeryville. The food is delicious and the menu can accommodate special food needs for a person with food allergies. The staff is willing to adjust plates for diners personal tastes. Example, tonight I asked for mole sauce to be replaced with verde sauce and that was no problem. The staff are courteous and attentive and check their tables frequently.
We started with chips and guacamole which arrived elegantly plated and with an ample enough portion to last through the whole meal. No wimpy plates here. I ordered chicken enchiladas and as I indicated above I did a sauce substitution to their usual. No problem there and it was a delicious offset to the crema that comes with the meal. The rice here is also cooked in a hint of cream and everything tastes rich and delicious. Portions are large and I usually have left overs to take home.
For dessert there are a lot of choices but I am a fan of their flan. I had the coffee flan which is a nice dark, rich color and beautifully plated. Light and airy, this melts over the tongue with a smoothness that flan should have. Perfect every time.
Cocina Poblana always delivers the flavor, service and portion that I expect. I was not disappointed tonight and will go back again. Absolutely.
