Thank you for 6 amazing years at Novena Regency! 🌮❤️

​As many of our regulars know, running a physical shop without full dine-in space has been a tough journey recently. Instead of fighting the space, we’ve decided to pivot so we can serve you better!

​El Cocinero is officially evolving into a Home-Based Pre-Order take away service! 🎉

​We are bringing back all your favorites—from signature Birria sets to customized Party Fiesta Boxes—delivered hot and fresh straight to your doorstep for family dinners, office lunches, and gatherings.

​📲 Drop us a message on WhatsApp or DM us today!

​Thank you for all the love and support. The kitchen isn't closing—we're just getting closer to your home! ✨

Important Update for Our Customers! 📢

​Due to some recent unexpected regulations regarding our corridor space, we have had to make the tough decision to suspend dine-in services until further notice.

​While we are incredibly sad we won't get to see your friendly faces in our seats for a bit, the kitchen is still firing on all cylinders! 🍳🔥

​We are still fully open for:
​🥡 Takeaway / Self-Collection
​🛵 Delivery (Find us on your favorite food apps!)

​Thank you all so much for your endless support and understanding as we navigate this little bump in the road. We appreciate you more than words can say! 💛

Episode 2: The Search for the Taco Girl... 🔍💔

Day 3 of him sitting at the exact same table, holding her lost notebook, and looking hopefully at the door every time the bell rings. It’s peak romantic drama. 🥺📖

​Meanwhile, back in the reality of running El Cocinero completely by myself...

​While he’s searching for his soulmate, the entire kitchen staff (me) is currently throwing a massive, frantic search party for the missing tongs. I swear they were just here two seconds ago! Why do kitchen tools have legs?! 😭🥄

​He’s waiting for love. I’m waiting for my brain to remember where I hid the spatulas. We are both suffering, just in very different ways.
​Will the Taco Girl finally walk through the door tomorrow? Or will the Chef completely lose her mind first?

​Drop a comment if you want Episode 3 dropped tomorrow to see if they finally reunite! 👇✨

​📍 Witness the search party (and get some tacos) at Novena Regency!

They say true love strikes when you least expect it. For them, it was a mutual love for Carnitas. For me, it was just another Tuesday trying not to fight a 20kg sack of onions. 😭🧅

​Welcome to Episode 1 of 'Love & Limes'—a mini-series taking place right here at El Cocinero!

​While these two were busy making romantic eye contact over the very last takeaway bag, the entire kitchen staff (which is just me, myself, and I) was in the background fighting for survival during the lunch rush.

​She walked away with the tacos... but he noticed she dropped something on the table. 😱

​Will he ever see the Taco Girl again? Or will the Chef accidentally blind him with flying jalapeños first?

​Stay tuned for Episode 2! Drop a comment if you want the next part dropped tomorrow! 👇✨
