La Cocina De Mama Greta — Restaurant in Raleigh

I am new to the area and found this place searching on Google Maps. It is a little hidden in a small strip of stores but worth finding. The place is clean, orderly and warm inside. Staff is friendly and helpful. The owner Imelda suggested a few things and I ordered Rellenos de Guisquill (sp!). While I waited they brought chips with salsa.

Great, encouraging Christian music playing the whole time and a place genuinely glad you visited...more visits...

It was evident that the soup was not freshly made; it seemed like it had been reheated with frozen seafood. While the service was good, the quality and freshness of the food...
