Tú Cocina Restaurant and Grill LLC — Restaurant in Hackensack

Yesterday Saturday I ordered delivery from Mi Cocina for the 1st time. I ordered a large Oxtail with Black bean Moro, large Sancocho with extra white rice and avocado salad.

The Oxtail was tender and tasty, with true Dominican flavors. The black bean Moro was to perfection.

I had an issue with the Sancocho though. A true authentic Dominican Sancocho has to have the following 7 meats (otherwise is just soup with vegetables): beef, goat, longaniza, pork, chicken, smoked ham & pork ribs. Or at the very least should have: beef, pork & chicken. But the one I got from Mi Cocina was a vegetable soup with pork chops, don't get me wrong it was tasty but it wasn't a Sancocho.

This morning Sunday I stopped by (instead of ordering for delivery) to try the traditional 4 hits (a.k.a. 4 golpes) Dominican breakfast which consists of Mangú, Fried Cheese, Fried Dominican Salami, Fried Eggs & Fried Longaniza, and pickled onions. This breakfast was the tops! The mangù was so creamy, the cheese fried to golden crisp, the salami was soft, the Longaniza was just right not burnt and the egg (yes I only got 1 egg) was perfection. I wish it came with the traditional 2 eggs, otherwise it was one of the best 4 hits (4 golpes) breakfast I've had in a long time.

I will definitely order and eat here again, although I will never order their version of what they call "Sancocho", but I'll try everything else. If they served a true Sancocho or at least one with 3 variation of meats I would have given Mi...

The food is good here if you're looking for Hispanic food. They have the food already prepared so it's not the freshest out of the kitchen but when you're on you're lunch break, it is convenient. There are only a few tables, so during busy times, you may end up sharing one with other customers. Not too far from Hackensack High School so you will see a few kids stroll up and take up the tables quick. They have fairly priced meals but be sure to have cash as they only take a card payment if your bill...

The best Dominican food I have ever tried. I just had the sancocho. Oh my God. The best I have ever tried. I am Puerto Rican and Cuban so Dominican food is very similar and this is by far the best I’ve tasted. The meat is fresh and the soup is to die for. I also had a shrimp empanada that could have been stuffed with more shrimp but it was the best seafood empanada I’ve ever eaten. Their mango shake was delicious and beats Banana King on their best day. My new favorite Hispanic spot. Compliments...
