If you want good Central American food, this is a great spot to stop. It is super convenient if you are near the Louis Armstrong Airport.I recently stopped here after picking someone up from the airport and we enjoyed a delicious breakfast of baleadas. Baleadas are a traditional Honduran breakfast food, they are made with freshly prepared flour tortillas folded over with beans, cream, and cheese. The "baleada con todo" also included scrambled egg, beef, and avocado. What millennial could turn down that breakfast?My only complaint is that prices are not listed on the menu. That seems like an easy fix.

We had breakfast this morning in Metairie, a #1 and a #2. (9/21) All excellent! We’ll be back. Thank you, La Cocina!

Great neighborhood - family style place. They have a hot bar to see the food and you can order plates and other specialties they prepare in the kitchen. Food is Central American style. Had the Honduran tacos - similar to a chicken flauta - crispy fried roll up tacos. Also they have great empanadas - like a fried beef meat pie. Both are accompanied with a great salad that has pickled onions and fresh slice jalapenos with some wonderful dressing. Also shared a grilled shrimp plate with great refried black beans, rice, pickled slaw, salad, and deveined wonderful shrimp and homemade style tortillas. Very authentic and has an almost carribean flavor.
