When do I get my food?
Every Wednesday, a meal prepared by a different La Cocina business is delivered to your door by our partner Bentocart between 2 PM and 6 PM. Bentocart drivers communicate via text message to share timing and confirm delivery. Your meal comes packaged in Dispatch reusable food containers with reheating instructions to enjoy at your convenience. The food containers are packed in a tote with ice.
Where do you deliver?
This program is only available for delivery to residents of the following cities: San Francisco, Oakland, Berkeley, Richmond, Belmont, Brisbane, Burlingame, Hillsborough, Colma, Daly City, Millbrae, Redwood City, San Bruno, San Carlos, South San Francisco, San Mateo, Foster City, Alameda, El Cerrito, Emeryville, Piedmont, Albany, Palo Alto. We will also have one pick-up location at our Folsom Street commercial kitchen in the Mission District.
How/when do I pay?
You can pay for your 4 or 8-week subscription in our Shopify store up until March 22 at 11:59pm midnight. Please be cognizant of choosing the 4 weeks that work best for you. We cannot offer prorated or refunds for weeks in which people are not able to receive their meal. As an alternative, subscribers can give our team a different address (a neighbor/friend/family member) within the delivery parameters to receive the subscriber’s meal for that week.
What do I do with the reusable containers when I’m done?
Please rinse out and put all food containers inside the Panza Llena tote bag and leave outside your door by 2pm on the Wednesday of your next delivery. The Bentocart driver will pick it up when they deliver your next dinner.

We encourage your feedback to support entrepreneurs. Please do so, after every meal (a survey will be in every Monday’s newsletter) or complete a final survey in the last newsletter.
We believe food entrepreneurship is a catalyst and force for women, immigrants, and people of color to build assets for themselves and their families, shape local economies, transform inequitable industry practices, and create communities that are joyful, connected, and nourished.
Panza Llena, Corazon Contento creates a revenue stream and access to new customers for La Cocina-born businesses as well as fosters a way for entrepreneurs to learn from and teach one another as their businesses evolve.
By subscribing you’ll support eight working-class businesses led by, BIPOC, immigrant, and women chefs, creating a more equitable, vibrant, and delicious Bay Area. You’ll also support sustainable alternatives for package and food delivery systems. Panza Llena has diverted over 8,500 containers and almost 1,100 bags from the waste stream.
Thank you for supporting La Cocina entrepreneurs by helping them do what they love the most - feeding you! If you have any questions, please reach out to Andrea Llosa, Entrepreneur Business Development Manager – andrea@lacocinasf.org.
