My friends and I had a great experience dining here! Our waitress was over the top kind and was so helpful. We didn't know it was taco Tuesday but she let us know and we all got tacos ($3 each and they were SO GOOD, such a steal!). Ambience was great, food and drinks were great, overall wonderful experience.

I was so looking forward to trying this South Pas locale... We were charged 7$ for chips n salsa. Odd. The Estrella Damm beer helped me bite my tongue... Half of our order never went through & when it did, it was a cold and dry expensive mess of a chicken mole. My cochinita pubil taco trio was deeeeevine, but I still can't justify these prices any more... One out of four servers was Superlative and attentive.

Incredible experience! The food was flavourful, cooked to perfection. Customer service was immaculate. Family-owned restaurant and the owners were very welcoming, friendly, and accommodating. This is my new favourite spot! Must try: the corn, Ahi tuna, Ribs, chicken tostadas!!

Honestly, I haven’t always enjoyed Aro as much as I did during the delightful two hours I spent at the bar one recent Thursday. Good timing on my part, I was present for the last half of happy hour (M-F, 4-6) and the first half of the Latin-flavored entertainment (Th only, 6-8). (Another Thursday-only attraction, South Pasadena’s popular farmers market takes place just down the block.) I started with a well-balanced HH Margarita, tasting distinctly of tequila and just enough triple sec. Then I went for a couple of HH appetizers, a decent cheese quesadilla and the exceptional oregano shrimp (without the usual chili flakes—wimp that I am). The quesadilla came in handy for sopping up the precious seasoned butter from the plump, tender shrimp. I asked the friendly bartender—I think his name was Tevin—about a lavender-hued drink he had made—an Aviation Cocktail: gin, Luxardo cherry liqueur, Crème de Violette, and lemon juice. Mine (see photo) was exquisite, the perfect airborne accompaniment to the Brazilian vocalist and combo I was listening to. This bar and adjacent dining room had never seemed so lively. Even the tables outside in the shade were filled.

Well, this is a hidden gem. I say hidden because it was just there as I was walking down the street. I got the empanadas and the Oro de Aro with Mezcal. Oh, and the guacamole was on point! Maybe it's time i move back to LA just to be closer to this place.

Delicious food, great environment with live music, plenty of indoor and outdoor seating.
We had salmon that had the most delicious asparagus sauce. Wish we lived in the area and could go more often.

We had such a great time at Aro Latin! Our server was so friendly and took great care of us. We ordered a few small bites and they were all so tasty! My favorite was the sweet potato ceviche. The ceviche was really juicy and bright and paired great with the crispy sweet potato chips. Perfect for a summer day! The papas rellenas was a little salty but still very good. There is plenty of street parking in the neighborhood (just go up or down a block) and a few seats outdoors where you can sit with your dog. Will definitely come again!
