    This is a lovely family-run restaurant. The food is tasty and the service is very welcoming. I recommend the cinnamon milk drink! It is basically a delicious cinnamon bun in liquid form.

    I haven't been able to stop by since last year but this is my all-time favorite restaurant in the London area and probably anywhere! I stumbled across this place in 2017 –it was my first time trying Venezuelan food and I've been obsessed ever since. The family is great and I have always enjoyed every meal here. I recommend the arepas of course, especially the one with beef and cheese. The empanadas are all amazing, as are the sauces on the side. I normally make my own meal with empanadas and a side of black beans. The torta de tres leches is my favorite dessert ever!! I'm not exaggerating when I say that I plan trips from California to London just to stop at this restaurant :)

    It was my first time visiting Mi Cocina and it was a great experience. It has a relaxed atmosphere and quite a big menu. The food was very tasty and was cooked from fresh. It is very cosy in there and I will definitely be visiting again.

    Incredibly delicious food in a quaint friendly setting. The owners are Venezuelan making delicious Venezuelan dishes so the taste is authentic. We enjoyed our meal so much that we ended up ordering another dish and bought some of their frozen takeaway to eat at home. I can definitely recommend the arepas, cachapas, and the hallaca. It was all great! Would definitely go back if I was in the area.

    The food was EXCELLENT. I will definitely go back. So nicely cooked, full of flavour and you can tell it was made with care. There are vegan options as well. Try the soursop juice. I can’t remember the translation but the staff will definitely know what you mean :-)

    If feels like being in a private Venezuelan kitchen. Hearty food, perfect-sized portions, the owner, pregnant in October, advising on what's best for you according to your likings and hunger not trying to sell you the most expensive dish. All of that makes you believe that you are actually in her house, waiting for her to show off her mother country cuisine. Food is slow-cooked, no added sugars, the plantain is delicious so is the wet corn wrap in the pic below (with 3 kinds of meat in it). I will go again and try some other dishes. Venezuelan cuisine is different from the European one and this place makes you want to come back to experience more.

    Visited for dinner on Wednesday. The staff are amazing, they kindly explained the menu and made some great suggestions. The food was delicious, full of flavour and fresh. Tried the soursop juice which was freshly made and delicious. Will return many more times 💛 They also said they will be introducing additional Mexican dishes in the next few weeks, which I am excited to try.

    Incredible home cooked, authentic food in such a friendly and welcoming place. Exceptional value. The owner was brilliant in explaining the menu and the importance of authentic Latin American ingredients and it was totally justified in the food! Can’t wait to go back!

    Best meal we have had in Crystal Palace. Great service, delicious food. Arepas are amazing. Can't wait to come back again and looking forward to the Mexican additions to the menu!!

  • 5/5 Jackelyn N. 5 months ago on Google
    Had the best dinner here last night. We spoke to the new owners who said they will begin serving an authentic Mexican menu soon. As an American in London, I have really struggled to find good Mexican food here. Dulce saw our excitement and brought out some of the new dishes for us to sample. Oh my word!!! Homemade tortillas, tacos al pastor, napoles....we were in heaven. Safe to say we will be regulars here when the new menu rolls out. I would travel across London for good Mexican can't believe it will be in our own neighborhood. Great options for vegetarian, vegan, and gluten free as well.

    We just had lunch at Mi Cocina Es Tuya and it was incredible. The food is delicious, the atmosphere cozy and the staff very friendly. It sent us back to Mexico, where we are originally from. One of the best places in London if you want to have tasty, authentic Latin American food!

    Stopped for lunch while walking around Crystal Palace and it was marvellous. No-frills very authentic feeling and atmosphere, tasty food, friendly service. Too bad I live far and won't go back too often!

    Such delicious food ! And really nice Americano sweetened with sugar cane ☕ it's called Guayoyo Athmosphere is warm and friendly. The reason for the 3 stars here is personal taste regarding interior design. I would love for it to be more cozy and eclectic, different wooden chairs, colourful frames for the great pictures - I love the masks tho! 👹

  • 5/5 Juan C. 1 year ago on Google
    The atmosphere of the place is simple but also colourful. As a Latin American I confirm that the taste and preparation of the dishes follow the genuine recipes. Furthermore, they have a broad range of frozen foods ready to buy, such as tequeños, arepas, empanadas. Furthermore, you can find the ingredients to prepare other Venezuelan, Colombian, and Latin American dishes. Finally, for Christmas they have prepared and I have bought some hallacas. These were delicious and well presented. 😊👌🏻Veredict 'highly recommended'.
