Dominican Restaurant Near Greensboro, NC

Dominican lunch plate with rice, beans and stewed meat

From Greensboro, La Cocina de Mama is a 15 to 20 minute drive: take Gate City Boulevard or Guilford College Road toward Jamestown and you are here before the playlist warms up. From the west side of Greensboro it is even closer.

Greensboro has plenty of Latin food, but a full Dominican table is hard to find. If you came to UNCG, NC A&T or Guilford College from a Dominican family, you know exactly what campus food cannot fix. A sancocho or a mangu with los tres golpes can.

First time trying Dominican food? Order the mofongo, add the pernil, share some tostones and close with a tres leches. Everything comes out of the same family kitchen, made to order plate by plate.

Planning a party in Greensboro? Our catering travels: trays of pernil, moro con gandules and picadera for offices, birthdays and church events. For a regular weekend dinner, reserve ahead, the dining room is small and Saturdays go fast. Delivery reaches parts of Greensboro through Uber Eats and DoorDash.
