Latin American Restaurants near West Haven

“food excellent service excellent“

“I go here often and get the shrimp fried rice but I hate that they never remember me when I go. Can't be that many black women going in that establishment. I spend a lot of money here, so that part is disheartening. Also, they don't speak English well, so that gets frustrating as well & they over price for alcoholic “

“Love it.. Food was fire 🔥..“

“Sabor is the BEST spot in downtown New Haven for Latin/Caribbean food. Truly a hidden gem in the city. I love it--the people there are so nice, the food feels like a warm hug, and it reminds me of my mother's Cuban cooking. Super authentic. What a spot!“

“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!“

“It was just too dark in the seating that they gave us. I asked if they could turn up the lighting but they were unable to. Also, they put us right near the door on the coldest night when there were many other tables available. The food was excellent!!“

“Awesome empanadas and great food“

“This is my first time trying Columbian food and I am hooked!!!!! The AL Pastor Columbian style Arepas is by far one of the most delicious things I have had in a long time. The cornbread base was sweet without being cloying and mixed with the pork and pineapple, OH MY GOD! My dish came with a side of some of the most flavorful rice I have ever had and it was topped with some sweet plantains. The serving is more than generous. I'm a big girl and I am easily getting 2 meals out of my order. The prices are very reasonable! Do yourself a favor and find this hidden gem while you are in town. You will not be disappointed!“

“The food was tasty and fairly priced. Lots of original recipes and overall lots of healthy options. I highly recommend getting takeout from here. You can dine in but most staff don’t speak English (Spanish only) which wasn’t my case. They had a soccer match playing on screen which was entertaining but a bit too loud“

“Tried this place earlier today. My daughter bought me back a pulled chicken Arepa with Rice, Queso and the Garlic Crema. Wow it was so good definitely will be going myself.“

“We had a delicious dinner and dining experience. We will definitely go back.“

“I have been coming here for over five years. Date night My son’s 16 bday Breakfast 👩‍🍳 😘“

“I visited blue tortuga on a Monday evening for a friends birthday. The chicharrón with guacamole was great, the main dish was out of this world. The French toast dessert was amazing. The service was great, highly recommend.“

“We came in after a whole day sailing. When we asked what to get we were lucky to get the rotisserie chicken quarter combo hot and fresh. Delicious. My boyfriend got the pork chop quarter combo, also delicious. Even had Cornas! $36 well spent.“

“The atmosphere is intimate, the empanada's are so amazing, with a very creative variety!! It is clear that this is a labor of love, and your palette will benefit in a big way. I also, happen to catch a couple of event nights there that were really enjoyable. One, displayed a artists paintings, and the other was an open mic night, anyone was welcome. That was most enjoyable.. Put this on your "must" list!!“

“a pues la verdad sus comidas son muy sabrosas y la atención es.muy buena son muy amables sigan así 👍👍“

“Just because the owners may appear Chinese that does not mean they did not immigrate from Puerto Rico. Many Chinese who lived in Cuba emigrated to Puerto Rico after Castro in 1959, and from PR they later came to the mainland US, especially the New York area. I've been coming here for years and I can tell you the food is authentic and excellent.“

“Great Food Very nice, The tacos and especially the Empanadas w the sauces Great!!“

“Great food. This is authentic Puertorican food I will definitely comeback.“

“I booked Ay! Arepa food truck for my wedding and it was one of the best decisions we made, it was AMAZING. Ernesto was a total pleasure to work with leading up to my wedding and communicative, kind, and enthusiastic. The arepas got absolute raves at my wedding. So many guests complimented the food, and called out the arepas. My husband says the flavor was delicious and they were speedy in bringing them out and so many guests complimented them. I sadly didn't get to eat much at my wedding but the next day when settling up our bills we stopped by another restaurant from Ernesto, Rubamba, and the arepas there were delicious. The food tasted like it was made with care and love. Guests told me it was the best food they ever had at a wedding - highly recommend! A lot of our guests also mentioned how nice Ernesto and the servers at the truck were.“

“Never fails to be a great meal!“

“Muy buen lugar y el dueño es aún amor de persona“

“I stopped here for lunch to go and was very happy with my meal. I got some kind of pork (I don’t speak Spanish, so that’s the most I know), rice, beans, and plantains! They had a lot of options, the food was hot, the cost was reasonable and the service was fast. I will definitely be back.“
