12 Best Latin American Restaurants in Gainesville

“We are beyond thrilled with the experience Tinker gave us for our wedding! They catered a beautiful buffet for us, and the food was absolutely delicious. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Our guests absolutely loved the food! What made it even more special was the kindness and friendliness of the entire staff. They made us and our guests feel so welcome and taken care of, handling everything with such warmth and professionalism. I want to give a special thank you to Karen who was so accommodating and helpful throughout the planning process. Being able to celebrate right at the restaurant created the perfect atmosphere. We were able to relax in an intimate setting and truly enjoy our guest and wedding. Tinker truly went above and beyond to make our day stress-free and unforgettable. We are so grateful to the entire team and would highly recommend Tinker to anyone looking for incredible food, outstanding service, and a beautiful space for their celebration! Thank you again for everything!“

“Amazing food, great pricing“

“Tela is one of my favorite spots on University Ave! Their quesadillas are seriously delicious: cheesy, flavorful, and cooked just right every time. The portion size is perfect for a meal, and they always taste fresh. The atmosphere is laid-back and welcoming, and the staff is super friendly. It’s a great place to grab food with friends or stop by for a quick bite between classes. Definitely recommend if you’re in Gainesville and craving a good quesadilla!“

“Love their cuban sandwiches!!!!! Very affordable prices and great customer service“

“Absolutely delicious! My husband and I had an amazing experience — the service was quick, friendly, and efficient, and the food came out fresh and full of flavor. We shared medianoche sandwiches, desserts, and a café bombón, and everything was perfect. Highly recommend Mi Apá for anyone looking for great food and even better service!“

“Buen fast food, no es como la comida cubana, sorry... pero resuelve, Estoy disgustada porque ya había ordenado Salami y queso anteriormente y fui hoy esperé en el drive Thru y luego me dijeron que NO servimos ese sandwich... me fui a Publix y fui a Orlando a comer en un restaurante Cubano todo sabroso y excelente servicio al cliente.“

“One of the BEST around. Check out their little store in the back too. Their quesp is the BEST in town! Nothing like sitting on the patio during the fall weather. Friendly Staff! Clean bathrooms.“

“One of Gainesville's best kept secrets. This cafe is tucked away in the Honda of Gainesville. I happened upon them 4 years ago when first moved to the area and got my car serviced. Their food is amazing and staff is polite!! Each time I have to get my car done I wait just so I can get their cuban sandwhich. Next time you're in the area, this is a must.“

“I like the environment and food is delicious. I heard about this place in the radio station.“
