42 Best Latin American Restaurants in Los Angeles

“Amazing food and atmosphere“

“Best food in town and sports merchandise“

“Cracking little restaurant.

Great food and friendly servers.

Skirt steak was to die for, would definitely get again.

Friendly and I didn't feel rushed.

Would recommend.“

“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“

“When I think of seafood in eastside Los Angeles, I think of Ceviche Project. This is my go to for ceviche, aguachile, tostadas, and oysters. Octavio is an incredibly passionate and kind human being, and his food speaks for itself. He provides a completely engrossing and sensational culinary and human experience. The quality of the seafood is unmatched, the atmosphere is so relaxed, and the hospitality of Octavio goes beyond that of pretty much any other restaurant in LA. . It's just such a pleasure being able to eat at this local gem of a restaurant. The Silver Lake/Atwater Village/Glendale/Los Feliz community is lucky to have a restaurant like this. Thank you Octavio for your hard work!“

“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.“

“Super cute place with very chic vibes! Delicious drinks and great food - came here for coffee(matcha) and brunch - everything was on point! Now I want to come back in the evening for cocktails - they’ve got an amazing cocktail menu as well!“

“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.“

“Me gusta la comida pero no tienen q perder el cuidado en la presentación de los platos y asegurarse q lleven todo eso es muy importante aun tengan mucha junte haser los platos con la misma cuidado de ciempre“

“Viaje a California de Seattle Wa, comí en el churrasco Chapín Riquísima la comida y el servicio muy bueno súper recomendado.“

“Grabbed a quick dinner and drinks here. You just walk in, open seating. Scan a QR code to see the menu and then order at the bar. You’ll get your drinks at the bar and then dinner is brought out to you. Then to close your tab you have to go back to the bar which can be a bit of a wait unfortunately. But not too bad. The tacos were great. We went right before happy hour was ending and got $5 tacos. They were really good.“

“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.“

“Phenomenal. Our server, Candelaria, and Chef Anthony were both so attentive to my nut allergy. Walter was so kind! Thank you for the most amazing dinner experience we’ve had in LA. Fantastic food, incredible atmosphere, attentive and kind staff. 11/10. Thank you ♥️🙏🏼“

“I’ve been eating at this place before 1987. I used to take my children here for dinner or lunch on Saturdays. My children are grown and are raising their families now. I am in my Senior years now and moved from that area. However, I still go over there to eat on Saturdays every now and then. One thing I can share with you, is the recipe has never changed. 😎😎“

“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!“

“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.“

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

“Great fish tacos. Note that these soft taco shells are the larger kind where they're put on the grill for a minute to get slightly crispy and crunchy, not the tiny cold ones out of a bag that everyone else uses for their fish tacos and has to double because they fall apart the instant the salsa touches them. The tacos have generous portions of fish and you can get extra salsa at no charge (again, unlike a lot of other stingy places).

The whole fried tilapia was good too.“

“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. ❤️“

“Over all a nice experience. Sharon was welcoming and provided excellent service. She was friendly, knowledgeable about the menu, and delivered the food promptly. Additionally, she was very attentive, checking on us three times during our visit. We greatly appreciate Sharon’s service.“

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

“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 !!!“

“This is honestly the BEST BRUNCH I've ever had. So creative, and lots of healthy and allergy friendly options. They have made the most amazing roasted carrots dish I've ever had or even dreamed of. Cannot recommend this brunch enough“

“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. .“

“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!“

“Best savory empanadas in town!

They’re big but not cheap. Most are more than $5 each. They’re packed full of food though! They are aesthetically pleasing - especially the spinach and cheese one.

The spinach and cheese empanada is their best. It’s a masterpiece! It’s really flavorful. Great spinach taste! The ham and cheese empanada is also very good but a bit greasy. I’ve tried some of the other empanadas and they’re good too.

The deli part of the restaurant has all kinds of Chilean goodies! Like wines!

They have a deli and a restaurant. I haven’t been to the restaurant in a while but the food is good there too.

Parking is a problem but they have a lot in the rear.“

“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.“

“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“

“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 .“

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

“My new favorite place! So healthy and right sized portions. This was my first visit. Easily navigated the kiosk and liked how I could customize. Food came out super quick. I had the roasted sweet potatoes and the chicken bowl with the green goddess dressing. So delicious! I will be telling my family & friends.“

“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!“

“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!“
