Restaurant Equipment World (REW) Visits Cocina 214 Mexican Kitchen & Bar

Welcome to Restaurant Equipment World's restaurant review - on today's menu is Cocina 214 Mexican Kitchen & Bar. Cocina is Spanish for kitchen and 214 is for the area code in Dallas - thus the name Cocina 214 was born.

So grab your favorite drink, join the fun and get ready for some authentic Tex-Mex here in beautiful downtown Winter Park, Florida.

Start off with a plate of fried avocado bites - lightly breaded haas avacados fried and served with chipotle cream dipping sauce or try some fresh guacamole with haas avacados, onions, jalapenos, tomatoes and cilantro. No Tex-Mex meal should be started without crispy homemade chips and zesty salsa, order a salsa trio and get a sampling of all the flavors. Don't forget the queso - a delicious blend of cheeses and spice to get you started on the right foot.

Get ready for your Tex-Mex adventure. Cocina 214's menu is full of Tex-Mex delights. Tamales, burritos, quesadillas, enchiladas and a house specialty The 214 Ceviche made with snapper, serrano peppers, red onion, tomato, citrus and avocado - a must try!

Muy bueno!
