13 Best Latin American Restaurants near Dunedin

“This place is such a gem! Came here for some rice and beans thinking that’s all I’d be able to enjoy as a vegan meal and was pleasantly surprised to find a tofu chorizo on their menu. One yellow rice and black beach tofu chorizo bowl and plantains later, I am the happiest clam. As a Colombian who thoroughly enjoys Latin food, this place Hit. The. Spot. Don’t walk, run here! My serve was also amazing and friendly and extremely knowledgeable on the menu’s vegan options and even mentioned a vegan week they do sometimes!“

“Típico Café Latino (Típico Latino Restaurant), 566 Barton Boulevard, Rockledge, Florida- 5-Stars Although the Hispanic population in Brevard County as of 2022 is a mere 11.6%, their restaurants must make up 35% of the restaurant inventory. Now that I have dined at so many Latin establishments, I feel I am starting to discern the good, the bad, and the horrific. Recently I found myself in Rockledge walking into the unassuming Tipico Café Latino. The place didn't look like much to me at first, and since the most obvious definition of "típico" in English means "typical," I was concerned. Later when I found out that "típico" when referring to food is more about how such a dish represents the most famous local flavor of a region, the name made perfect sense. The food prepared here is the real deal and it's truly outstanding. Don't let the ambiance of this small saloon deter you. Elise is the owner and personally sees to the comfort of her guests. She and her chef are from the Dominican Republic, and their website states that Dominican cuisine has been influenced by indigenous Dominicans as well as settlers from Spain, Africa, Asia, the Middle East, Canary Islands, Cuba, Puerto Rico, Haiti (next door on the shared island of Hispaniola), and Hungary. They further indicate that flavor contributions have been made by Sephardic Jews, slaves brought to the Republic by the French in the 17th Century, and freed Blacks who fled from the United States in the 19th Century. From the Menú Típica Latino, I ordered the Típico Fried Platter, and I strongly suggest you do the same. It has everything: Fried Pork, Fried Chicken, Longaniza (Spanish sausage), Salami, Fried Cheese, Casava, and Tostones. Amazing! As the Dominican Republic is only 57 miles southeast of Cuba, it is not surprising that there are also a few expressly classic Cuban dishes on the menu. One of these is the Ropa Vieja/ Shredded Stewed Beef and Vegetables. The rice accompanying this "típica" Cuban dish was cooked perfectly. The beef itself was so tender, its juices so flavorful, that for a moment I experienced zoanthropy, becoming one of Pavlov's dogs salivating just remembering this experience. I pull myself together, remembering I am a human man, and wipe the slobber off my jowls with a towel. THIS IS A BIG BOY MUST TRY! The Big Boy says, "Go see Elise, try the Típico Fried Platter, and, oh yeah, bring your appetite."“

“Amazing I have never had anything that I would not recommend. Everything on the menu is amazing. The service is remarkable.“

“I wanted authentic Mexican food and I found it here. Delicious and couldn’t ask for better service. Thank you for making my vacation complete“

“Came upon this amazing place. The 2 that run the place are super friendly. I think of myself as a cuban sandwich expert and this place is top 3 that I've ever had. The empanadas are bomb. Happy to have Nana's near by. See you this week!“

“Consistent. Fresh. Friendly.“

“Awesome authentic food spot on the way to or on the way back from the beach. In the back of the store is a great authentic Mexican cousine. I mean, fresh. Serving Providencia corn tortillas. Highly recommend stopping by and saying hello to Don Pedro“

“Went to Bogota for the first time and excited to go back. Heather greeted us and checked in on us throughout the night. The food was delicious: Texas Twinkies (best jalapeño poppers ever!), Cuban, yucca fries, beef nachos, churros, and expresso martini… all fantastic. It took a little longer than anticipated to get our food; however, our waitress was attentive and I am looking forward to going back. It is my understanding that the establishment is under new management and there is some new staff so little growing pains are expected. In addition, it was packed and the band was jamming when I was there. Outdoor dining under cover to watch the band was perfect. Great atmosphere. I think I found my new favorite hang out spot!“
