From the heart of Lancaster County, PA, CocoLito Cocina delivers authentic cuisine from Puerto Rico to your home.

Featured Menu Items

Arroz con gandules (quart)

Yellow rice with pigeon peas. Our arroz con gandules is a classic Puerto Rican dinning staple featuring fluffy yellow rice cooked with savory pigeon peas and a blend of traditional spices. This dish wouldn’t be complete without our family’s secret recipe for sofrito, the backbone of Puerto Rican cooking.

Empanadas, 4 pack

Crispy turnover. There’s the classic debate among Latino’s about this dish. You may know these as pastelillos or empanadillas, either way they’re delicious! Our empanadas are a crispy and savory treat, filled with a delicious blend of juicy meat and vegetables. These handheld treats are a must-try for any fan of Puerto Rican cuisine.

Carne Frita (pound)

Carne Frita (pound)

Fried pork shoulder chunks. Our pork shoulder is brined then seasoned with a blend of our homemade sofrito (cooking base of vegetables and herbs), cilantro, vinegar, adobo, sazon and whole garlic cloves.

Our menu is a love letter to Puerto Rican cuisine, but it's also a tribute to the families, the stories, and the traditions that have shaped the island's culinary heritage.

We combine traditional preparations with local ingredients for dishes that are authentic to both their Puerto Rican origins and Lancaster setting.
