50 Best Latin American Restaurants near Lennox

“I have been eating this chicken since I was a little girl. I moved to south LA and I still drive all the way to Lennox just for this chicken, price is good and food is delicious, the chicken has an amazing taste to it unlike any other! I highly recommend!

Parking: You can find street parking or go into the little shop next door and park there since you won’t be long anyway if you’re only taking out“

“Been coming here since I was a little girl. Great customer service and fresh food all the time!“

“Amazing food! I haven’t had a good meal like that in a while! I recently checked out some of the well rated restaurants in LA, such as RVR and I have to say this is hands down superior. The food, the vibe, and the server was also very attentive and friendly. The portions are very small and I felt like for the price, they could be a little larger.

Highly recommend and will go again!

Kid-friendliness: We have 2 toddlers and were greatly accommodated“

“Best food in town and sports merchandise“

“Amazing food and atmosphere“

“Possibly the best and freshest Mexican style seafood in LA Think fine from a James Beard award winning chef and kitchen on the very casual setting of a food court It’s busy so get in early as the line to order grows quickly Plenty of parking with extra space at rear of the car park for the overflow This is a must try if you are in the area“

“The entire experience was wonderful the food , drinks and service will definitely have me returning. Even the Owner was so friendly personable, came out spoke with us about different options on the menu, sang happy Birthday to my sister and even a picture with our was absolutely a worthwhile outing.“

“La Fe’s On’ry menu is one of the most exciting dining experiences we had lately. It’s the kind of spot where every dish feels intentional ... bold flavors, thoughtful textures, and a touch of surprise. If you’re someone who likes to explore beyond the usual, this is absolutely the menu to go for.

What We Ordered & Loved:

Bread Service
Don’t skip this. The cultured butter comes whipped into silky ribbons, sprinkled with smoked salt, and served with warm bread. It looks simple but the flavor is next-level. The butter is so good you’ll probably want to finish every last smear. The chef made a mango jam and it goes so well!

Deviled Blue Crabs
One of the most eye-catching presentations of the night....served inside actual crab shells over rock salt. The filling is smoky, savory, and layered with richness from the tomato butter and a lift of Meyer lemon. It’s indulgent but balanced, and definitely a conversation starter at the table.

Kanpachi Crudo
This was one of my personal favorites. Fresh kanpachi paired with radish, cucumber, mushrooms, and a touch of chili heat. The bee pollen kosho and chamomile oil give it a delicate, floral note that makes it stand out from the usual crudos. Bright, clean, and perfect to share.

Tea Leaf Salad
Easily the most surprising dish. It comes loaded with herbs, crunchy shallots, toasted nuts, tomatoes, and romaine. Every bite is different.. crunchy, tangy, fresh, with that slight umami depth from the tea leaves. If you like texture, this is the dish to order.

Mussel and Potato
A heartier plate that’s still elegant. Mussels in a silky sake lees broth, paired with tiny potatoes that soak up all the flavor. The broth itself is so good you’ll want bread on the side just to scoop it all up.

Cherries and Cream
Dessert here is not an afterthought. What looks rustic turns out to be layered and complex — cherries with cream, brown butter crumble, hibiscus, and even fresh herbs to cut through the sweetness. It’s creamy, crunchy, tart, and fresh all at once. A perfect ending.

A final thoughts....

Service is warm and unpretentious — the staff clearly knows the menu well and seems genuinely excited to walk you through it. Dishes come out thoughtfully paced, and the presentation strikes that perfect middle ground between rustic and refined.

Insider Tips

Start with the bread service — it sets the tone and the butter is unforgettable.

The deviled blue crabs are a must if you want something show-stopping.

Save room for dessert — the cherries and cream will surprise you in the best way.

Portions are made for sharing — come with at least 2–3 people so you can try more plates.

Don’t overlook the tea leaf salad — it’s easily one of the most unique and refreshing dishes ...

Also the menu changes so its an adventure...“

“su calidad de comida buen sabor Chapín un pedacito de tu tierra en el extranjero no te lo pierdas excelencia“

“Phenomenal Salmon salad and dressing!“

“Hands down, some of the most delicious food I've eaten lately! They utilize only the freshest ingredients and ensure that each dish is properly prepared. The branzino was very memorable. "Must try!"
From appetizers to sweets, this restaurant well surpassed our expectations!“

“Love their chicken 🎯is the bomb💕 blew Pollo Loco out the water🍗😁👍“

“I need to get something good I got a caldo de res , the ladies are so serious they are very good with customer service , everything was good that it comes with the plate👍🏻👍🏻

Parking: Good food all the time I go there to eat !!!“

“Great food and even better service“

“Good locally owned place to eat. The food was good and the customer services was excellent. Kudos to the owner for making us feel so welcomed. ❤️“

“They treated me very kindly and the food is very delicious. I ordered 2 plates of roast beef and a plate of roast chicken. They served it with beans, rice, chives, elbow or fresh salad and tortillas. We were very satisfied. For me, the price of the dish is good. .“

“Los mejores mariscos que e probado en el sur de California una ambiente muy agradable y la comida lo mejor“

“The tacos are delicious. I didn’t prefer the chicharron taco; my assumption was the pork fat would be crispy, but it was blubbery. I didn’t eat it. This was probably a mistake on my end.

The pork tamale was delicious as was the steak taco. The tamale wasn’t dry at all (I’ve seen other reviews saying it was dry). The service was so friendly and kind. I loved the artwork, but I did want a salsa bar. I’ll be back absolutely, and recommend the cantaloupe agua fresca.“

“Great empanada flavors, and the lady at the window taking orders is so nice. The restaurant is strictly to go, but there is a bench under a nice tree that you can sit on while waiting for your order. Oh, the onion rings and garlic fries are definitely something to try!“

“The food was D-lish-us. Their beans are the best beans I've had. And I love my beans. I'm not usually huge on pasta salad, but I was a big fan of theirs. The server lady was very nice and competent and they were giving out free roses for mothers day!I highly recommend this place for delicious food.“

“Wow. This is a hidden gem in DTLA. Highly recommend unless you're a jerk. Ha. Great drinks, great food and amazing service. Felt like I was just hanging with old friends having a very enjoyable evening. This is gonna be my go-to spot anytime I am hanging downtown.“

“A small venue, with seating available inside and outside the venue. The service was pleasant, the staff was very friendly, the service was fast, the dishes have a very good homemade flavor, the dishes are also large, the price is very affordable, they have a bathroom to wash your hands which is very necessary, so I highly recommend them .“

“Everything from the moment you arrive at the corner of Gardena Avenue and Vermont Avenue in the City of Gardena I felt I was back home. Their authentic Ecuadorian taste on all their plates, oh my God it is second to none. Congratulations DulcisFama LLC. I will be back with my friends from Latinos Unidos San Diego this weekend.“

“great service. amazing food“

“This place is very hole in the wall. It's located in the alley way between Wall Street and Maple Ave. The entrance is only located in the middle of the alley driveway. I can best describe the food as a mix of Mexican, Salvadorean. I'm biased, I always order their asada burrito and it has never been bad. Meat was flavorful, just the right amount of rice and beans, cilantro and onions. Their red sauce is spicy and goes well with the burrito. I've always ordered takeout, and never ate inside the restaurant. Service has always been quick for me, as you walk up to the counter inside, place your order and pay when it comes out. They are usually busy during the day as they serve all the locals around here. The delivery person is usually busy, coming in and out taking orders. The caldos seem to be popular here as well as the pupusas. The establishment seems to be a family owned and operated joint.

The prices are more than fair for the food you are getting. If I remember correctly, the burrito that I ordered is $13 and you get a LARGE burrito that is packed. You will get full off this burrito. I've been there a few times, and I definitely want to go back so I can try their other dishes and see if they are just as good. Give them a shot if you're in the area for a quick bite. I believe they're worth it.“

“Authentic Mexican food. Best Magaritas along with good music and service“

“One of my favorite restaurants authentic Latin cuisine. I have been coming here for over 30 years and was so sad when it closed down during the pandemic. So glad it reopened! Can’t wait 😜 to go back. I give it 5 stars for sure!“

“Well, first of all, thank God for life and health and for the first part of the country from here in Los Angeles, California, they treated me very well, kindly and with respect, and I hope to God that they continue like this, with kindness and polite staff, thank you“

“We ordered laots of food and they are all so thaireffic!!!I like the ambiance, the aesthetic of the dish, customer service, the portion, and most important the flavor of the food! I had the Lao fried rice, highly recommend (the chicken wings inside is just so so though).“

“Had a great meal here before a show at the Paramount. My husband had fajitas and I had the potato dish with added rosemary potatoes 🤩. I couldn’t finish mine - very filling but absolutely delicious. The proprietor is welcoming and helpful. We will definitely return and I will make more sensible choices!“

“Se disfruta al máximo con los cheros jiji 😜“

“This was the 3rd time I have been to this place with my father. The menudo was delicious. Every item on the menu is authentic Mexican food from the nopales con huevo to the mole just mouth watering. The ladies behind the counter are very friendly and really nice. 👍👍“

“The chicken hard shell tacos with the rice and beans was awesome. Everything was so fresh. And my cocktail was 🔥🔥🔥“

“Love this place, makes me feel like I went back in time...Definitely a hidden gem! The food: chicken wings, pizza, pasta, etc... any foodie would appreciate. The selection of beers � and wine � are varied and last but not least, the SERVICE, we are spoiled Everytime, the staff goes above and beyond! I highly recommend stopping there before any type of LA event.“

“everything is good delicious delicious delicious delicious“

“My fiancé and I absolutely love this place! Every time we come in the area we drive 3 1/2 hours and this is our first stop every time! We were recently in town and we ate here twice between two days. The food is always consistent and so flavorful! It may look like a hole in the wall, but it is the best food around!“

“Rica comida y amabilidad recomiendo todo el menudo !!! Las costillas los tacos todo y don tortilla hechas a mano 😃😀“

“I LOVE this place!! We don't live in the area but every time we visit our friends nearby we have to stop for treats to take home. Their baguettes are the best! Not sure what makes them different than others but they really are the best ever. Their sweet treats are great too! My husband is very picky about cinnamon rolls- he has a hard time finding one he likes (not even Cinnabon) but he tried their's and said it was so goodHaven't tried the breakfasts yet but their crepes with fruit are delicious.Good thing we don't live closer- I'd be there all the time!“

“The champas are one of the most delicious places to eat pupusas that I have visited, the food is super delicious and they also have kareoke and live music, super atmosphere, if you like pupusas and a good atmosphere this is the place to visit“

“‽??????????????????,,????“

“Apple Maps suggested it. Good coffee. No selection on non-sweet pastries. Disappointed on that. But still good coffee. I-5 n broadway location.“

“Loved our dinner here! Quite possibly the best meal I’ve had in 2025. The pork chop lives rent free in my mind , can’t stop thinking about how good it was. Beautiful atmosphere, really friendly staff, great service, fantastic drinks. Really every single dish was perfect and I’ll 100% be back. That chocolate cake omg.“

“A lot of people ask about the tamales, chuchitos, pupusas and the like and this is a very good place. They also have champurrado and atole drinks. There are natural flavored waters made of real fruit. Here is where the famous bacon wrapped hot dogs are sold with onions, jalapenos peppers, ketchup, mustard, mayonnaise and the option to make it spicy. The place has natural homemade beef and chicken soups, grilled fish, fried cauliflower, shrimp cocktails and other foods and meals.“

“We’ve been coming to Amalia for years, live the vibe the food and the staff is amazing! You will get that Traditional Guatemalan Hospitality here.

Only thing that was depressing was that we are used to this place being beyond packed that you would normally get a wait time, but this past weekend to our shock, was completely empty.

Please do not let amazing places like this disappear let’s do our part to support small businesses and not be afraid.“
