Latin American Restaurants near Universal City

“delicious food and large portions 🙂“

“We got some problem with our food and they handled it extremely well, showing true professionalism and dedication of their services. Def will recommend to others“

“Best food in town and sports merchandise“

“Amazing food and atmosphere“

“We book this restaurant through Resy because I wanted to use Amex rewards. I love the name of the restaurant! I didn’t know that they ONLY SERVE CEVICHE!! Seafood was great (little too salty) but I was hungry to the end because they don’t have main dishes. I would say this place is good for grabbing drinks with ceviche, not for dinner. Only one guy was serving everything. Making ceviche, drinks and cleaning. So it takes time to get food. Parking is in the back but it’s hard to find it.“

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

“Decided to try this place out and wanted to try different items for my own personal knowledge. As seen in the photos I got ahead of myself and started eating before taking pictures. I got a cheeseburger combo which comes with fries and a drink, 2 tacos, and 2 pupusas. I tried everything individually and tried the sauces on their own to fill taste the flavor. The cheeseburger combo was great and flavorful. The fries were made to perfection with the perfect crisp. The pupusas were very good too along with the curtido and salsa. Salsa is very flavorful and the curtido has a kick of heat to it. The tacos were good with the perfect blend of flavor even without the salsa. Tries the green salsa on its own and it was so good and flavorful. Def going to come back to eat here again. The lady cooking and taking orders is so sweet and she makes her food with love. I told her imma try a bit of everything to see what I like and she said I’d love it all. She wasn’t wrong. For all this food that can feed about 3 people, I spent $23. Which is a great deal from my pov. Went back the next day for a carne asada plate and paid extra to get some grilled shrimp on it. Was definitely worth it and it was so good.“

“I was having such a grand old time at La Fe that I wanted to take a picture of my experience. I set my phone on a ledge, but my phone fell through a crack. La Fe’s STAR employee, Caleb, had to dismantle the freakin’ couch using power tools in order to retrieve my phone. It took so much work and time and I’m so grateful. Aside from the superb service, La Fe is such a perfect spot for a date or for chilling with friends because of the stylish and hip decor. I would def recommend!“

“muy buen pollo los recomiendo“

“Comida salvadoreña deliciosa me gustan las pupusas los desayuno 🍳“

“Wow wow wow I can’t believe how good the breakfast burritos are. Also had the pancakes and they were fluffy and perfect. This is definitely the new breakfast burrito spot in Burbank. 👌🏻“

“muy buen pollo los recomiendo“

“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. .“

““OMG, my sister recommended this restaurant as I picked her up from LAX, the food was authentic real Mexican food, beyond exquisite. The place gave me vibes of a fondita in Mexico, which I loved. The portions are perfect, the handmade tortillas were fire!! The quesadillas, beans and beef, chicharron guisado where delicious!!! Please try their pumpkin horchata!! The staff are so friendly too. I spent $40 on my sister and I. Well worth it!!!“

“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!“

“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.“

“We visited the restaurant for their brunch buffet and had an overall enjoyable experience. The food was good and delicious — everything was fresh and well-prepared. However, we felt the menu leaned more toward the classic side and didn't offer anything particularly unique or standout. It was satisfying, just not especially memorable in terms of creativity or variety. The ambience was lovely — comfortable, stylish, and welcoming — a great setting for a relaxed weekend brunch. The service was good as well; the staff were courteous and attentive. That said, drink service was a bit on the slower side that day, but it didn't take away too much from the overall experience. If you're looking for a solid brunch option with a pleasant atmosphere and reliable food, this is a good choice. We'd consider returning, especially for a laid-back group outing or family get-together.“

“This place is great. The food was delicious, especially the branzino and flan. Both were the best I've ever tasted. The atmosphere is casual. The staff is warm and friendly. The prices reasonable. Lots of tasty options to choose from and share. We're going back.“

“I picked up a few empanadas here — the classic beef, a chicken avocado, and the apple for dessert. The beef had a decent flavor, though the filling was a bit uneven at times, and the chicken avocado was pleasant but didn’t stand out. The apple empanada was sweet and cinnamon-y, but a little dry on the edges. The crust is flaky and crisp, which is nice, but some fillings felt a bit sparse compared with the price.

Ordering is fast since it’s mainly takeout from a window, but that means there’s no real indoor dining vibe. There is a bench nearby and some space to stand, but no proper outdoor seating.

Service was friendly enough, though it didn’t feel especially personal. Parking is metered on the street and can fill up during busier times. Kids could enjoy the smaller portions, but with the lack of seating it’s better for quick bites than sit-down meals. Waiting time was short, but flavor consistency and a few crowded moments kept this from being excellent.“

“Comida demaciada Rica.. Como hecha en casa, karaoke los Jueves Caldo de Pata Menudo los fines de semana. Desayuno almuerzo y cena...ahhjjjj provecho!.“

“Delicious hot food, refreshing drinks, and fresh papusas. Friendly, fast service. Some entres tend to be very light on salt. A request I have for this place is to please place bilingual signage in front of each food item for easy identification and ordering. Although, they do have a menu on the wall, it's difficult to read for some. Other than that, food is fresh, hot, and delicious!“

“The truth is everything. Das has the best Mac n cheese and the Ribs n Brisket are the best in the West.“

“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. ❤️“

“This restaurant has the most delicious homemade food I tried. My wife loves the posole and I love the Menudo. We try to go there every weekend to eat some of their delicious food they make. I recommend it 100%.“

“I really like this spot for "to-go" mexican food. I've been coming here for years and seeing the same faces. This is a solid spot where the service is always friendly and the food is delicious. I enjoy their chicken salad, camarones, and tacos. The salsa and chips here are soo good. Thank you! ❤️“

“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!“

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

“Buenos mataniños. (Y)“

“They are just the best👩🏼‍🍳 not even Carrillo’s tamales come close 😁 I tell all my relatives, from Palmdale Lancaster,😁“

“Thank you 🙏🏽 for your generosity pollo campero and staff from the laboratory here at Pacifica hospital of the valley!!!“

“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“

“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.“

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.“

“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!“
