Cocina 214

Behind Daytona was fortunate enough today to get a hard hat tour of the brand new Cocina 214 that's going to be opening beachside on A1A in Daytona at the end of January.

The building is nearing completion and the  owner and founder of Cocina 214, Lambrine Macejewski was telling us how she's going to having a job fair onsite Jan 2nd, and can't wait to start hiring locals. Training begins soon.

​Lambrine Macejewski by all accounts is the exact type of entrepreneur the city is beginning to attract. As we talked with her she mentioned that restaurants are in her blood. Having been in the industry for 40  years I could see the drive and passion in her eyes.
It is unmistakable. They light up when you ask her questions like, what type of entertainment they will provide and she pointed to an area between Cocina and the soon to open by Jimmy Buffett.

Saying, “that will be green space with access to the ocean, it will be shared and they intend on doing outdoor sit on the lawn events.”

The restaurant will hold 345 people and is an impressive 7857 square feet.
It features an outside Tiki Bar, Private Dining area, outdoor fire pits and views from inside of the Atlantic Ocean.
Breathtaking and fantastically planned the contractor and master builder John McCann was able to get the best out of this space. It's impressive.
He even thought through the material that will be used to make the bar outside so that it will weather the extreme elements we can experience on the beach.

A massive kitchen will allow Executive Chef Isidoro Alvarez and his team to focus on their inventive Tex-Mex cuisine with fresh local ingredients and made from scratch dishes, can you say “Homemade Tortillas”.

While there will be a wide variety of wine and beer and a full bar, Lambrine is all about the Margaritas, made always with fresh lime juice and ingredients. This means tequila, lots of it.
Coquina will be an awesome compliment to the growing dining scene in the city. It will be the first restaurant to open on the beach in decades and by all accounts signals the great boom in Daytona is here and here to stay.

We are looking forward to the Grand Opening and to many years of dining on the ocean drinking margaritas and eating Tex-Mex cuisine at this location.
