21 Best Latin American Restaurants near Stratford

“Listen if you go here every day you will spend a lot of money because you want to buy everything. The food is the best I have tasted since I been in CT. I am from NY so I know good food. I tell everyone about this place. It deserves more than 5 stars. You will not regret it the food is fresh and delicious everyday!!!! The staff is the kindest people ever!!!“

“Omg!!! Absolutely wonderful!!! I was so nervous because 1- I’m not from Connecticut so I had no idea where to cater from and 2- I’ve never catered before (I always do my own cooking), I was not disappointed!!! Everyone raved how good everything was. Yezzy was wonderful to work with and delivery was exceptional😄Everything was beyond my expectations!“

“Cibus is an amazing gem in Stratford. From food to service you will always leave happy. Especially with Alex and Andres behind the bar, you can never go wrong!“

“Great little restaurant, lively and colorful atmosphere. The only change I would make would be to make the pinchos appetizer a main meal with a bigger portion of pinchos and maybe some rice. They were so delicious. Also, the churros did not taste freshly made to order, they were cold and hard. Would not get those again. My plantain crusted cod was cooked perfectly and the coconut lobster sauce was delicious with it. Great menu.“

“While visiting Bridgeport, Connecticut, I stumbled upon a small but impressive spot—Banderas Latin Fusion. From the moment I walked in, I was warmly greeted by the owner, who also happens to be the chef.

The menu was full of tempting options, making it hard to choose just one. What stood out immediately was the care and precision the chef put into every dish. He prepared and plated each entrée meticulously, holding all three plates behind the counter until they were perfectly finished. Only then did he bring them to the table, showing clear pride in his craft.

The food was absolutely delicious—flavorful without being overwhelmed by too much sazón or adobo, which can sometimes be the case at other Puerto Rican spots. The balance of flavors was just right.

Overall, it was a memorable visit. The food, service, and dedication made it worth the stop, and I’ll definitely be returning the next time I’m in the area.“

“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.“

“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!“

“My lunch amigas ordered vegetarian option for empanada and Ecuadorean version of tamales. And banana plantain stuffed with crumbled cheese. Next time, we will make room for dessert and will continue this review for sure! I highly recommended this restaurant.“

“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!“

“Amazing food and service in a lovely atmosphere. Highly recommend!“
