8 Best Latin American Restaurants near Carlsbad

“Enjoyed the outside deck with the views of Carlsbad Village sidewalk as people bustled around the near by beach vicinity. Food was good and friendly service. This was a repeat visit, we dine here frequently. Recommend the street tacos( I get the mushroom) and chips with fresh spicy salsa. The coconut margarita is a family favorite.“

“Ambiance 😀, service and uniqueness. Had the Carajillo for an after dinner treat. Sooo good!“

“Amazing. Makes me feel like im back in La Patria all the way in SoCal. Definitely nailed the Colombian and Peruvian food down. This Colombian co-signs this place ✔️. Give them a try if you're looking for sensational South American style flavor all the way down to the music they play!!!!!!!! 🇨🇴 🇵🇪“

“Good selection of traditionally made additive free tequilas“

“From the first course to the last our server was extremely attentive and helped us navigate the menu. We had the 8 course tasting menu and honestly, I couldn’t find a single dish to say anything but amazing things about. After dinner we got a brief tour of the private dining area and back of house, shook hands with the executive chef and got to thank him for helping curate such a special birthday dinner for my partner and myself. It truly was a journey through coastal Mexico with every bite and the staff was incredibly kind. If you have an opportunity to experience this place, you should absolutely book the reservation! The chef’s and staff here earned their star for great reason!“

“I was the lucky winning bidder of a catered dinner for eight that Qero so generously donated. Everything about the experience was amazing. First of all Monica, The owner was a delight as were her staff she brought with her. We thoroughly enjoyed the education of the Peruvian culture and food. We enjoyed the Pisco sour drinks very much, and the food was all amazing! Huge hit with my guests! We had empanadas, ceviche, braised beef, their specialty chicken dish, a local potato dish and more. Don’t hesitate to have them cater a party for you! Her portions were very generous and we have leftovers for days. We look forward to going and enjoying more at the restaurant“
