Culinary Cultures Combine at Round Rock’s La Cocina Bar and Grill

June 19, 2013 12:47 pm

From Little Mexico to Little Italy, La Cocina Bar and Grill has it all. The Round Rock cantina serves up Italian and Mexican favorites and makes a great compromise if you and your date can’t decide. Although it might sound like a strange combination, this place will surprise you. La Cocina is family owned and operated; their roots are in both Mexico and Italy. The Guisado de Puerco is Grandma’s recipe for tender pork in a red sauce. Customers rave about the chips and spicy salsa. For a fusion dish, try the Italian Enchiladas stuffed with ricotta cheese and spinach.  If you’d prefer an Italian meal, the Pasta ala Chicago with Italian sausage, mushrooms, and spicy marinara is a customer favorite. The atmosphere here is causal and features murals of iconic landmarks from Mexico and Italy.
