About La Cocina Latina
La Cocina Latina is an Edmonton restaurant that presents itself on its own website as a Colombian-Mexican fusion («Colombian-Mexican Fusion») and tells its origin story under the line «From Colombia to Edmonton»: it grew out of Grandma's recipes and the work of a Colombian mother alongside her two sons, who have worked in the restaurant since childhood.
Its menu unites two countries in every dish, with Mexican and Colombian sections: the Don Birria Taco that built its reputation, arepas, empanadas, the Smokin' Burrito and the Chulados mangonada, with handmade tortillas, meats slow-cooked for three days and halal beef and chicken options.
The restaurant also takes its kitchen to events with live taco stations and catering for large groups, and welcomes guests at its 156 Street NW location, with group reservations on weekdays.
