6 Best Latin American Restaurants in Cleveland

“This was our first visit to Barocco Larchmere since its conversion back from Hola Tacos. We had a wonderful experience! The food was fabulous and the service was amazing! Mariangel was our server and couldn’t have beensweeter and more professional! We’re excited for their transition and look forward to visiting again soon.“

“This might be the best Central American restaurant in CLE! You know it's good when most of the customers are speaking Spanish. The pupusas were excellent - so much so we bought more to take home. The churrasco was perfect, as were the platanos. My kids say this is their new favorite restaurant. Waitstaff was very friendly and attentive. We will definitely be back.“

“Always a great experience. Everyone is always very friendly and so great at multitasking when busy! Absolutely my favorite Mexican place around here! I’ve been going 4 of of the 7 days of the week since I tried it for the first time. 10000x better than chipotle but still offers “build your own” options and even a DRIVE THRU!“

“This little hole in the wall deserves more attention. Though they are usually running low on something or another, Everything that I've tried from them has been delicious! They are a small team of probably home cook that know how to make delicious food. Honestly, when I call to order and they tell me they might not have something I just reply with "It's ok, just make it good". They give you the hook up too! all their items can feed up to 2 people. Trust me, just try out their chicken empanada and you'll be back before you know it wanting to try out more.“

“Took a while to post this picture because I was in a food coma. This food is delicious. I've been living in CLE for about 5 years now and I wanna kick myself for not coming here sooner. I'm Cuban American, but Cuban food here is lacking. I was happy to find some extremely good Puerto Rican food to fill the void in my Caribbean heart lol. Thr staff was so polite and welcoming. The portions for a $12 meal is enough for two meals. I'll be back to try everything- especially the Cubano. ??❤️??“

“We've been eating here sporadically for years. Although the menu is pared down (we miss the deep fried avocados) and the host is also the server, the food is still excellent. I had the chicken coconut lime soup, a meal in itself. The soup had more ingredients than a wedding soup, all freshly cut and served mostly al dente. My husband had the beef tamale; it was huge and tasty, a good value. The guacamole was not overly onioned or too much cilantro, with bits of fresh apple in it, a nice change. The chips were dusted with cinnamon, a heads up for those unused to the mixing of flavors.We lament not going out to eat more often but when we do, we gravitate to owner-run small businesses. It's probably best to arrive during non-peak hours. The host is proud of his creative cuisine and might have time for a quick chat.“
