The Best Restaurants in Newark, New Jersey | Eater NY
"This family-owned Cuban restaurant across from the Rutgers-Newark campus isn’t fancy, but it offers great, no-frills, traditional Cuban dishes. La Cocina opens at 9:30 a.m. on weekdays (no weekend service) with a full menu of sandwiches and empanadas (get a Cuban sandwich in empanada form) and cafeteria-style dishes. Check out the daily specials: On Thursdays it’s rabo encendito (oxtails); who doesn’t love a saucy pile of slow-braised-to-richness meat served with black beans and yellow rice?" - Hank Zona
