20 Best Latin American Restaurants near Arleta

“Before moving to SFV, my bf and I would go out to find something to eat, during one of those days we passed in front of this place, we had to make a U turn, the smell of charbroiled chicken was inviting us to go try it, the chicken was delicious, I bought an extra chicken so my family could try it and they too loved it. I have tried the ribs, but for some reason every time the meat was super hard, and didn't even have barbecue sauce, I gave up and no longer order ribs, only the chicken, it has yet to disappoint me. The staff is friendly and they are quick.“

“This place is wonderful ! It was so good guys ! Like so so so delicious. My parents are both Guatemalan and so going to check this place out was a must! It didn't disappoint! I really hope the community supports this business long term ! It's a gem. I ordered the garnachas and tostadas just like I would back in el rancho Dios bendiga este negocio not to mention service was good. Small little restaurant but delicious! Will be back“

“Omg when I tell you that it was my first time trying arepas. My brother Inlaw is from Venezuela boy he Wasent wrong when he told me trust your gonna love them!! Never had I finish a whole dinner plate on my own.. But I myself was surprised when I ate the whole arepa I left nothing. It was so good I can’t explain yah need to come try them so you know what I’m talking about.. Only bad thing is there not open every day. You guys try the carne mechada arepa oh my God delicious.. I’m Hispanic by the way and let me tell you I rather have one of these than a Sope,taco,popusas,or a huarache tbh… Guys go try the food here please . You won’t regret it..“

“This place is a hidden gem in the valley and even the lot it's in you wouldn't assume it's good. This is located in the same lot as the Food 4 Less and Baskin Robbins. And I am so mad I didn't get this place sooner, the savory empanadas I had were DELICIOUS. I had the corn, pork kahula and a chicken one that I forgot that all came with their individual sauces and I WILL be going back for more. I was however so disappointed in the banana Nutella empanada- it was very mushy and the Nutella taste was nonexistent. Either than that the actual place is super clean and a cool ambiance to it!“

“Literally the best bakery I have been to! I ordered my birthday cake from here and it did not disappoint. Not only was the cake designed beautifully, but it was super fresh, delicious and jam-packed with strawberry jam. Customer service was excellent as well. The employees/owners were very friendly and nice.“

“Didn't take any pictures, but there's so much variety with this place! Next time I'm coming back, I'm definitely getting their $27 box of 6! Oh, and their dessert Nutella + Banana Empanada was really good! Sorry! No pics!“

“I have been a face painter at Mr. Bones pumpkin patch throughout the month of October, and almost every day I’ve been there, I got lunch from the Maravilla truck. They are incredible!! Everything I tried was delicious, and the seasoned fries were a personal favorite. They are all so friendly too. Face painting at the patch is definitely a high pressure job, especially when it’s busy, and Maravilla really helped to keep my spirits (and energy) up the whole time! Thank you Maravilla for everything!!“

“Extremely friendly staff. Amazing service. PHENOMENAL FOOD and homemade sangria. Simply, the best.“

“First time here! (4/11/24) I passed by this place many times a week but never visited before (lived here over 50 years!). The staff were friendly! Even the customers coming in had greeted me as they passed my table on their way to the counter to place their orders (cultural politeness).Ordered "Carne Asada con Camarones" (steak with shrimp) platter $24.08 (tax included, left a cash tip - not included in this price - well deserving!!!).Great presentation. The food was very enjoyable and delicious! The steak was flavorful and cooked as ordered (medium). The shrimp were also savory (keep in mind, one needs to remove the shell from the shrimp in this cooked preparation). The side salad portions were ideal, fresh, and crisp. Salad dressing was zesty and tangy. Rice was nice and fluffy. I decided to eat half of my steak wrapped in the tortillas (like a taco). The other half of my steak, I cut up into cubes and paired it with spoonfuls of rice.I will definitely return and spread the word of this tasty find to my family, friends, and community.Thank you, Honduras Restaurant, for a satisfying meal!To those reading my review, come and try this place! You will enjoy it!“

“I have come to their new spacious location and loved it.Prices are great, service is good too. I have bought their yucca, chiles rellenos, tamales, empanadas, pupusas, and pastelitos in bulk for a birthday party. It was the best. I have gone back at least 4 times, and I have always been ver pleased with the food, service and prices. I highly recommend it.“

“Me and my girls went out for girls night and decided to come to kalaveras best decision we made! Vibes were immaculate and everyone was super nice. The drinks were super cute and were delicious the food was alright I give it a 7/10 but everything else was super good. They play all different type of music that’s what we loved about this place I really recommend coming here to celebrate anything !!“

“Tried this place with my friend while in the valley and it was so yummy!! I'm always so hesitant with Salvadoran food since it's a hit or miss but this spot was for sure a hit. Small cozy place, no public bathrooms which is meh. Servers are nice and attentive. We had the mojarra frita, fresh and perfectly fried. Sopa de res, a little bit less thick than normal but still yummy. Tamales de elote were firm and also soft and so good. Pupusas were one of the best I've had in a while, beans well seasoned and very cheesy. We had to have the rice ones as well and they were 10/10. They also have house made horchata which was sooo good! would try this place again“

“DoorDash picked up the wrong order and the driver was very rude and didn’t want anything to do with me. I called Antojitos and they brought us the order. My kids love the breakfast and the horchata is the BEST !! Recommend supporting small business.“

“I give this restaurant five stars. Food was excellent. They served us at the table quickly. The staff is extremely helpful and kind. The place is very clean and what impacted me the most was that they served us on real plates. They didn't put food in a plastic basket with a sheet of wax paper or in a cardboard box.I looked up the reviews of all the Pollo Campero restaurants in the area, and this one has the highest rating and honestly, I think it deserves a higher rating than what they show on yelp. If you are in the area, this is definitely a place to eat and even if you have to go out of your way, I would suggest you visit this restaurant.“

“It's a little place but it's the best most authentic peruvian roasted chicken you'll find in LA.Great price good portionsLove the salad dressing. Need the recipe!It smells like peru when you walk through the door. With the wood they use to roast the chicken.“

“This hidden little gem on Panorama city has one of the best sandwiches in the entire valley. I'm glad I found it. When you go in do yourself a favor and ask for a "Steak torta with everything on it". I've tried a few dishes from there but every little thing was on point. The gordita with nopales is also a must try if you are running a veggie diet. 10/10 would take the president to eat there.“

“I really like this spot for "to-go" mexican food. I've been coming here for years and seeing the same faces. This is a solid spot where the service is always friendly and the food is delicious. I enjoy their chicken salad, camarones, and tacos. The salsa and chips here are soo good. Thank you! ❤️“

“Food is good, it has that authentic Guatemalan taste. Being born and raised in Guatemala it's nice to have a place where you can revisit those memories when your abuelita used to cook some traditional Guatemalan cuisine on Sundays. Been here a few times over the years and things have slowly change but the taste remains.“

“Deliciousness, tried their yucca con chicharron. Although fried it was not greasy. The yucca was perfectly golden brown. Also had their platanos with beans and cream. Last but not least had a bowl of their atol de elote. Wow-just like my grandmother used to make it. Everything was so good. Pupusas are delicious too.“

“Eliecer was excellent in his service!!! Super helpful and hardworking.The food is amazing, is like tasting the rich salsa music culture in your paladar. Nothing like the flavor of "La isla del Encanto ("The enchanted Island). Come here and enjoy the Caribbean flavor.“
