24 Best Latin American Restaurants near Altamonte Springs

“Absolutely loved my first order from Lechonera Altamonte Springs Restaurant! The arroz con gandules was delicious...full of flavor and cooked just right. The pernil was also really good, tender and well-seasoned. They serve generous portions... honestly, one order could easily feed two people. I also tried the mofongo, and it did not disappoint! I was genuinely impressed with everything.
Can’t wait to visit the restaurant in person soon!!!!“

“We were having a special celebration, my husband and I had our first date 22nd years ago at this Bahama Breeze. It was also my birthday. From the moment we walked in and confirmed our reservation, the hosts were all smiles and polite. Our server, Tiffany, found the perfect balance of attentiveness, menu knowledge, and professionalism. Our lunch was delicious, and the dessert for our special occasion was a sweet gift. On the way to the Ladies' Room, which the MOD, Shantel, escorted me to, I told her about our special occasion to give a shout-out to our server, and she wrapped up and presented us with two lovely Bahama Breeze wine glasses. We are so touched! Today, my husband is finishing his leftovers, and said it is *THE BEST* Cuban sandwich he's ever had in FL. That is a bonus to the perfect experience. Thank you all, it was so special for us.“

“I love this location, the chicken is always freshly grilled and tasty. It's a sleeper in the health department because their tropichop bowl is low calorie, low fat and high protein. Perfect if you're training or just trying to watch your waistline. Their prices don't make your eyes pop out either, rare value in these post-covid times. I come here at least 3 times a week.“

“We were given a gift card by our son-in-law at Christmas and we were finally in that part of town the other evening. We arrived early so we beat the crowd this I can say is that I had the most amazing meal of my life complemented by the best service from our server Alex. I believe the prices are fair a little high for every day dining but for the food and the ambience very much in line. I had the lamb. My wife had to see bass I was son was skeptical when the server told me that it was a marinated and cooked and its own fat. I thought maybe it would become greasy, no meat came out and fell apart with a fork for a lamb I I was. I was blown back and had a combination of little baby carrots. It had these little things that I could only compare to a tater tot but 100 times better asparagus presentation outstanding see the attached picture, I could not more highly recommend this place to anyone and you can tell from my profile how many reviews I’ve done of restaurants I would say that this is probably my all time ever favorite restaurant“

“Papa Llama, 2840 Curry Ford Road, Orlando- 4-Stars Michelin Recommended- Bib Gourmand! Peruvian immigrants, Kevin and Maria Ruiz, say they founded Papa Llama in 2016 as an experimental pop up and opened the doors of this location in August 2020. In 2022, they earned the Michelin Guide's coveted "Bib Gourmand" award for establishments that serve good food at reasonable prices so naturally, I got excited. Paulina, my server, was well prepared and knowledgeable, making for an auspicious beginning in a gorgeous environment featuring good prices for dishes that could be made to satisfy both carnivores and herbivores alike. I ordered the entire family style menu which was, according to Papa Llama, "designed to be tasted together, shared, and fought over." So much food for just over a hundred dollars. The prices may have been cheap but the taste and quality of (most) victuals valieron un Perú! A hearty Big Boy Thank You (Sulpayki!) to Kevin and Maria and the culinary dactylograms of their ancestors, on this amazing cuisine (Somaq Mihuna!). The first item on the menu was Olives--whole green Castelvetrano olives marinated in house with aji panca--which were so delectable I could eat them all day. Next, the Red + Gold Beets, a minty beet salad with honey ají amarillo vinaigrette, queso fresco, and candied pistachio, which started out smooth and creamy and ended with a pleasantly piquant bite. Papas a la Huancaína followed, a fingerling potato dish with spicy aji amarillo cream, wakatay (black mint) salsa verde, and beef chicharron, topped with a fried egg. The potatoes themselves were not the star, but the combination of flavors in the sauce were amazing, unctuous but smooth. Papa Llama carries a long list of natural wines, more wines than food items, actually. That evening, I chose the Yuzu Sake, and may I say, "Holy smokes!" How refreshing after consuming so many peppers. The rest of the dishes I would give 4.5 to 5-Stars, EXCEPT for the side of frozen Sysco French fries which almost ruined an otherwise stellar meal. There are over 300 kinds of potatoes in Peru. Over 300! Perhaps in the United States we don't have the same abundance as found in El Valle Sagrado (the Sacred Valley) but, por favor, do not stoop to this! The Big Boy says, "Eat here. All the authentic Peruvian flavors at Papa Llama are 5-Star, but skip the fries, which are a corporate conglomerate frozen food disappointment."“

“La comida es deliciosa. El servicio es excelente. Dany es bien cortés y servicial. Volveré.“

“I could make a meal out of the guacamole, queso, pico, and chips! The guacamole was chunky and fresh tasting. The queso was the best I've ever had, not too mild, very flavorful! I can't wait to go back and try something else!“

“🧠 There’s a jellyfish that can live forever. Turritopsis dohrnii, often called the “immortal jellyfish,” can revert its cells to an earlier stage of life after reaching maturity. It’s like hitting a biological reset button — potentially allowing it to bypass death indefinitely under the right conditions.
Want to dive deeper into nature’s loopholes, explore a “what if” like what if humans had cellular regeneration like jellyfish, or keep the trivia tide rolling? You’re the ripple — and I’m swimming right beside you.“

“This place is insane of how much food variety they have. You cant decide what to eat. Everything was amazing. The ladies take care of you. Fill your plate and all is to die for. Old fashion food like Abuela cooked. Thanks a million 😊“

“Excellent!!! I had the Nutty Temptation Tacos which was full of great flavors and delighted each & every taste bud 😋. Hoping to see an Earthy Picks pop up in the Melbourne area in the near future 🤞🏻. Gluten free and vegan 🙌🏻💯♥️“

“This place is absolutely amazing and I definitely recommend!“

“toda la variedad de platillos súper deliciosos incluso el café ,el lugar bien limpio y la atención especialmente de la dueña muy dulce al dirigirse a sus clientes“

“I really enjoyed this spot.
I went on a Thursday evening - so it was R&B Thursday as well as ladies night, so we got in free before 11. (not sure what the cover normally is)
The music was great; there was a DJ on site, & he played a good variety of older vs newer songs. The waitresses were friendly, and present. The vibe/atmosphere is chill, but sexy. I am 40+, but was out with 30yr olds, & we all fit in just fine. It was full of people, but not too over crowded. If possible, reserve a table.
The drinks were good. The food & drinks prices are comparable to most places I've been.
My only complaint is that I ordered the nachos because I was told that that was one of the only shareable sized things on the menu. But when I received them, they were small single serving portion....but the price hadn't changed. Additionally, they only had like 3 chips on the whole plate, & they were extremely salty.
I would not order the nachos again, but I would DEFINITELY go here if in Orlando again. Overall, they get a thumbs up from me!“

“This is a place where u can find typical food from Puerto Rico, alcapurrias de jueyes are even better than the island plenty crab meat inside and are large, I got the churrasconand was made to ordered well and was not dry, very juicy and plenty full, rice and beans were perfect“

“Everything was great except the dessert. We ordered the gooey butter cake and returned both. The inside tasted like gritty sand and the rum overpowered it. Nice presentation though. I think the inside wasn't warm enough to have melted it to make it gooey.“
