Latin American Restaurants near Canoga Park

“During our recent New Year 2023 trip to Los Angeles, Sylmar area, Marlena and I discovered Tainos L. A. delicious, savoring, finger licking, mouthwatering, authentic, original, traditional, gourmet Abuelita's Puerto Rican food. The charming owner was very welcoming and sincerely appreciated and enhanced our dinning experience. We definetly recommend Tainos L. A. Marlena was happy eating PR Pasteles ( PR Tamales). Taino L. A. is a ghost kitchen, takeout or delivery only. We didn't know what a ghost kitchen is. Even though, it is a ghost kitchen, the gracious owner improvised and allowed us to eat in the kitchen storage area. She even played Salsa music. Marlena and I danced while waiting for the delicious Tostones with garlic and oil dressing. Tostones were cooked to perfection, crispy on the outside and soft and tender in the inside, just like Abuelitas make them, Yummy!“

“Stopped by on our way home , service was excellent and the food was mouthwatering ! Would travel the three hours just to eat here !“

“muy buen lugar riquisima comida“

“A great restaurant to enjoy in Van Nuys. I went there for the pupusas and plantains. Pupusas are a regional meal which consists of two small corn tortillas stuffed with either pork, beef, chicken, or beans and cheese. It is served with a spicy salsa and peppers. The plantains are large, sweet bananas from South America. They are usually fried and served with Mexican sour cream. This restaurant also has an authentic bakery on site also. Great food and friendly service. 👍“

“After the sagra davle experience. In the Trejos return. This one was recommended to me. And if I love Your service. Their food. It's excellent. I recommend it. To all. But I don't recommend that trejos. To nobody. Because. It is no longer the same staff. everything changed“

“Excellent food nice service“

“Excellent selection of meats, vegetarian and dessert empanadas. Easy to please everyone in your group!“

“Heel gezellig restaurant met lieve en attente eigenaar! Ze wil alles voor je doen om het je naar de zin te maken. Hou je niet van bonen in je taco, dan laat ze die eruit. Alles is vers en zelfgemaakt. En dat proef je! Zeker een aanrader na een lekkere dag aan t strand.

Vegetarian options: Lovely plantanos! And nice selfmade drinks!“

“The burger can improve 8/10
The tequeños are good 10/10
The patacon has more vegetables than meat 7/10
The empanadas are delicious 8/10
What I did like and something super different is that it is in the patio of a house, it felt very calm when you ate (the bad thing is that there are a lot of flies and ants)
Lastly, I feel that the dog should be in one area only because not all people like dogs or it may be somewhat uncomfortable that you are eating and the dog is in front of you watching you eat (it doesn't bother me but how do I say , there are people who may be bothered by that)
They have very good prices 10/10
Overall place 8/10“

“I had the chilequiles. Hard to mess those up honestly.
The baleades were amazing though and I highly suggest them.
My son also got the whole fish and ate almost the whole thing.

Parking: Parking is in a small lot on the back side of the restaurant“
