“We celebrated our marriage here. A small party of 22 people. Everything was perfect. The owner and servers were great to work with. The food is always excellent. Try the ostras con mofongo!

Update 8-31-25: We came back for our anniversary. We enjoyed the chaufa, house salad, steak skewers with yucca, saffron vegetable rice, and the fried plantains. They remembered us from last year and wrote happy anniversary on our dessert plates (tres leches cake and the churros). It was special and delicious as always.“

“We ate here last night and the food and service were wonderful! What was even more wonderful was the customer service when I left my purse at the restaurant. I called later that night to see if it was there. They were so kind and kept my bag and made arrangements to get it to me this morning before they opened. Would definitely go back!“

“Im a dining service director from new Hampshire but the company i worked for has kitchens in CT drove Monday for a 2 day trip Tuesday call my gf at home ask her do you want pizza she said sure.
So I call order 2 large pie cheese 1 medium pie pepperoni.
My order got confused and I got all pepperoni and the chef told me im sorry made a mistake I will make you a cheese free of charge and I said no need too.
A good chef admit mistake and take care of a costumer but I will say this was the best pizza that I had in my life omg I was driving 95 eating yum pie.
Got home gf N grandkids were swimming in the pool waiting they loved the pizza and they said can we go and get more.
I just want to say ty for making my family afternoon great and ty for a great pie of pizza God bless your business.“

“If you’re at all like us, we haven’t been able to successfully go out for Latin food with our kids without them sitting there eating chips and guacamole. If you’re not like us- please share your secrets. Anyway- you need to try Latina Cantina! We’ve driven by so many times, but FINALY tried it! You can enjoy insanely delicious Latin Food while your kids have Churro French Toast or even Chicken Fingers and Fries. Also, they said they its quieter in the afternoon be 12-6, a good time to host groups, events with no additional event space charge. We comfortably sat ~18. 10 or so were kids. Also- its place is so kid friendly in the afternoon. Anyway- great food, wonderful owner, casual but cozy ambiance and so I say the food was 🔥. Definitely recommend trying!“

“This is the only place I order food from. I’m glad I found it.“

“We were in the neighborhood and the delicious smell coming from this place caught our attention. We stopped in and had a wonderful experience. For starters we had an empanada made from plantain, it was very good, made better with a sauce they gave us. Next we shared a plate called Picada which was various types of fried meats which was excellent. It contained pork, chicken, beef and a type of sausage. It was served with tostones (fried green plantains). The serving was huge. We loved most of it, except for the beef, personally I like it more rare and it was over done. The restaurant has an extensive menu with breakfast, lunch and dinner options. When you enter don’t be surprise if it looks like a corner store, they do have tables set up to eat in or takeout.“
