14 Best Latin American Restaurants near Littleton

“Interesting menu. I tried the carnitas taco & nopales taco. My friend ordered the black bean dip & a nopales taco. She started with a mojito, and I started with a rum flight. Then I had a pina colada. Fabulous bartender! We had a good time. I'd like to return for more tacos!“

“Great new neighborhood spot! Food is wonderful but rather salty, cut back on the added salt-the food doesn’t need it! And it’s loud! Could barely hear myself let alone my friends. Not sure in the small space if there is anything they can do, but it’s loud. Try it though, it’s worth it and happy to have them in the neighborhood!“

“Something between tapas and dim sum, the Latin inspired small plates are delicious. I love that everyone takes dietary restrictions seriously: so many gluten-free dishes to choose from! Happy hour is definitely worth the early arrival. Great craft cocktails, especially the signature gin & tonics.“

“Tried Pollo Lima late this afternoon. The place is small and quaint. The staff was very cordial and excited for people to try their food. They were so nice.Ordered the chicken which was pretty good. Meat was tender and juicy, but I wanted more Peruvian spices. The plantains tender with a crispy crust. Yum.They have a variety of sauces which are fun to try and mix together for different experiences. The spicy pepper sauce was great with the green sauce and was good with the chicken and the fries. The yellow sauce good on rice and as a dip for your fries.I will most definitely return to try a few of their other menu choices or just get more roasted chicken. Some of their other dishes sound very interesting and well-worth trying. Drop in and try some for yourself!“

“The absolute best coffee shop in Denver! I ordered the Horchata Latte which was served hot in a traditional red clay mug. My beverage was smooth had a delicate body, a gentle sweetness and fruitiness, and an acidic snap to finish off the experience. There was ample, clean space to sit with friends in the courtyard right outside with chairs and tables. The shop was colorfully complimented with locally made goods, homemade Mexican pan dulce, and offered so much more than coffee. They even make atole which takes me back to my childhood! I can't wait to try everything on their menu. This is my new favorite place in Denver and will quickly become yours too!“

“A+ for menu crativity- Peruvian Sandwich: recommended- Lamb Marguez: wouldn't have it again (bread too hard, sausage too salty, skimpy ingredients, too expensive for what it is)Service too slow, as others mention. Stood there without a greeting for a while until someone took the order. Then waited too much (15-20 min? ) for meals to be ready, all while there wasn't much foot traffic during slow snowy Sat night.I'll probably try the place at least once more, but if I were the owner, I'd focus on discussing customer svce skills with employees and improving wait times.“

“Very, very good!! Fresh, cook to order, Venezuelan style empanada. Light flaky crust, seasoned just right, and stuffed. We order a 1/2 to-go. Small, eat-in restaurant. Would different definitely go back. EXCELLENT CUSTOMER SERVICE....explained all items in detail. Didn't feel rushed. Very good!“

“This restaurant was located across the parking lot of the Tru Hilton, so it was easy and quick to make a run through the heavy rain. It was well worth it. The staff was kind. Everyone had smiles and greeted us with eagerness. I enjoyed the carnitas with corn tortillas and it was good. The pork was tender. The salsa choices were flavorful and the Pico De Gallo was fresh. None of the food was so over-seasoned that took away from the natural flavors. Good job, folks!“

“Delicious!!!!!! So fresh! So good! Huge portion of empanada. A little on the pricey side but worth it. We bought a dozen for $54.40 and tiramisu for $8.99 lots of beverages options as well. Fresh coffee and alcohol drinks. Place is nice and clean. Will come back again and again! Ps. Staff is extra nice! ?“

“Don't get me wrong: the empanadas are great. Maybe I'm too old school, but paying $5 for an empanada (delicious as they are!) was a little much. The food is excellent, but you have to pay $20+ to have a "meal." If money is no issue, this is a great place. You're just not going to get good value.“

“AMAZING happy hour. All the drinks and appetizers were great and at excellent prices and the atmosphere of the place was fun. I will happily be back for that. The enchiladas were inedible, definitely order something else. The person I was with liked their tacos though! The service was okay. It took a while for the waiter to come get drinks/appetizer orders, and then it was another long wait before he came back for our entree orders, but once the orders were in everything came out quickly.“

“Empanadas are a great treat, how can you go wrong with a delicious flaky pastry filled with flavorful ingredients? I had seen Lazo's many times in the Cherry Hills shopping center and my timing was always off, but today it was dinner time and I was hungry. Their selection of fillings is robust and you will be able to find something that is a good match for you. The first one I tried was the Chicken Caprese based on the staff's recommendation. They were right on with this choice and the filling was delicious with chicken, cheese, tomatoes, and some herbs. The empanadas are cooked to order, so it comes out and it tantalizing hot. You want to bite into it so badly, but you have to ease yourself into it so you do not burn your mouth. My second choice was the spinach and cheese empanada which was good, but not quite as delicious as the chicken caprese. Lazo's is a great place to come and enjoy a meal. You can choose exactly how much food you want and order exactly what you want. The staff was kind, cheerful helpful, providing information about the different fillings. I look forward to coming back and trying the other options available.“

“Went to Pereda's for a late lunch! Sat out on the patio. The service was excellent. The Blood Orange Margarita was very tasty! I had the Pollo Al Carbon and it was great. Everyone in our party enjoyed their meal and the atmosphere, We will definitely be back!“

“WOW — A true taste of Oaxaca in downtown Denver! Zocalito blends the exceptional flavors of one of Mexico's most renowned foodie destinations into contemporary and approachable fare. As a traveler to Oaxaca, I was surprised to see the authentic spices and flavors of the region on full display here. Do not miss the calamari kale salad or the ceviche to start. Brb—drooling. Oh, and the drinks? Rico cocktails with a killer menu of mezcal and tequila. The chef and front-of-house staff bring the place to life with lots of love and care for your experience. This place has it all — Alebrijes from Oaxaca color the space with culture in this modernly-appointed restaurant that excites the senses. Expect high-end dining with zero attitude. Can't wait to come back!!! <3“
