23 Best Latin American Restaurants near Chamblee

“My wife is a Venezuelan Chef so I know good Venezuelan food when I see it. I originally found this place on my way back to Dalton, GA from a trip to Atlanta about a week ago. The owners were so kind and inviting and we spoke a bit about their story into entrepreneurship. I was blown away by their kindness and humility as well as the fact that they were both there working on achieving their dream of opening a restaurant. Once in stopped interviewing the owners( lol) I ordered the patacon mixto and the enrollado mixto. Both were really good and have to be some of the best I have had in some time.

I was so impressed with this place I brought my wife back a week later (yesterday) we ordered a Venezuelan hotdog, a Venezuelan hamburger , tequenos, and a Cachapa con queso. Our son had the chicken tenders.

Everything was so damn good! Excuse my language but it really was a delicious meal. Once we were done we chatted with the owners a bit and found out that everything is made fresh in their kitchen. Even the chicken tenders are cut breaded and fried in their kitchen.

My wife loved the food so much she ended up ordering some more to go. (She never does this so I’m guessing she loved it)

We live in Dalton ga but we will definitely make the hour and 30 minute drive Papelon Con Limón very soon.

To the owners: Keep up the amazing work guys. Your food is A-grade quality and authentic.

Service was amazing

Atmosphere was clean and inviting.

To potential customers: if you are in the area This place is a must try for some delicious, fresh, and authentic Venezuelan Cuisine.

Kid-friendliness: They have high chairs and the space was very clean and tidy. Our son has autism and the owners were saints with him.“

“My husband and I are big Cubano folks - we’ll stop almost any time we see a shop. I randomly drove past this spot this AM, and knew I had to stop. I placed a mobile order from my phone for a cafe leche and a whole classic cuban pork sandwich (yes, for breakfast) — we unanimously agree it’s the best cuban we’ve ever had. Service was fast and excellent (so nice to deal with kind faces first thing in the morning), and I loved the atmosphere. So glad I stopped, 11/10 will be back!“

“Perfect Latin fusion fair with creative dishes. Yummy starters include ceviche with passion fruit sauce, empanadas, guacamole and sautéed scallops. Excellent main dishes halibut, herb crusted lamp chops and filet. Healthy options available for vegetarians too! Great salads. Servers and fire dancers were an added bonus because they were fun and very friendly/helpful. (Managers could be friendlier.) Overall restaurant ambiance beautiful and eclectic. $25 fee for bringing our own birthday cake a bit ridiculous! Parking convenient $4 Parking fee expected but offers convenience to customers. Our total experience for party of 8 was amazing!“

“Great food and service. More stylish and upscale than anticipated. I look forward to returning in a cute outfit and having a tequila with my avocado tacos. The bar area was really nice also with curved booths facing the tvs which did not at all detract from the atmosphere of the restaurant.“

“Yay Las margaritas is back and it’s better than ever! New menu, a lovely atmosphere, fun music, and delicious food. Oscar the owner is back and the family owned business vibe is still the best thing about it!“

“I take all my friends & out-of-town guests to LA Fonda Latina
I started eating there when they only had the location in Little Five Points about 37 years ago. They have the freshest possible food. Totally excellent. I allow myself to get horchata there!“

“Exelente muy riko volvere otra ves😋“

“We went for dinner and drinks Friday night and were absolutely obsessed with Mylita!!! From her knowledge of everything on the menu, her down to earth personality, and absolute honesty about her all time favorites (which we ordered every single suggested item and were not disappointed at all!!) she really made our moms night out everything we hoped it would be!!! Fried Cheese was fantastic and the drinks were amazing! We will definitely add this restaurant to our list when we visit ATL and HOPE we can get Mylita every time!!!!“

“La comida exquisita, y sobre todo comida fresca, servicio al cliente exelente. muy buen ambiente familiar.“

“The food was so delicious and good that I must go back and try other items from their menu. I highly recommend this restaurant to everyone who wants to try delicious food. Please try their passion fruit 🍉 margarita, they are amazing and on point.“

“hace unos días tuve la delicia de comer hay , y la comida es tan rica muy hogareña y fresca hacia tiempo que no comia así de exquisito!! ALTA MENTE RECOMENDADO !!!“

“We had a great experience at FugegoMundo!
The unique appetizers were a standout—creative and full of flavor. The main dishes were just as impressive, delicious and well-prepared. What really made the visit even better was the quick and efficient service; our food arrived much faster than expected, and everything was hot and fresh. Highly recommend for anyone looking for great food and a smooth dining experience! 😋“

“Muy buena atención la mejor. Y buenísima la comida.“

“We had the Paella del Mar for Two, which was great. Flavourful and, according to my lady, delicious the second day.
1/2 pitcher of Dos Equis Amber took my back to early days.
Loved the tortilla chips & salsa and churros for dessert.“

“This is one of the few actual "South South American" places I've been to in the region, and it's by far the best. Owners are from Uruguay and so most of the cuisine is from there, but the meat is cooked almost like we do in Argentina (that's where I'm from), so I wasn't surprised when a local friend, also Argentinian, recommended this place to me. I was not dissapointed.

The most important thing to me when dining out is how I feel when I walk into a restaurant and the experience is so different in every country, I have been challenged to feel really comfortable in this area. The minute I stepped in, I felt like home. Tables with real wood tabletops. Fresh bread + butter to get you started. Spanish speaking service, mostly Spanish speaking (don't worry if you don't speak Spanish though, some of them speak flawless English of course) that sounded so close to my Spanish, I froze for a second when the waiter simply said "Hola, buen dia!" to me. It's nothing special, it's just that after years of not being home, hearing the same accent when I wasn't expecting it, the same language was a nice surprise.

The food was really good, I didn't give it 5 stars just because the mashed potatoes were not great. I had one beef empanada (which I really recommend as a starter), and then the Tira de Asado, which is basically known as short ribs up here. It's not quite the same in Argentina and Uruguay but it's the closest cut you get, and it was fantastic. It came with some salad we call "Criolla" in Buenos Aires, and it's so simple it hurts: lettuce, tomato, onion. That's it. Add a pinch of salt and olive oil, cut and toss, and there you go. That's how salads were when I was a kid: simple, fresh, and didn't distract you from the all important beef.

I wish I hadn't eaten that much, but it was really good, all of it. Finished it up with an espresso and left.

Fantastic experience, very close to home. I will definitely come back.

Parking: The restaurant is part of a small commercial complex, so parking is limited. Go early.“

“Musica Buena, comida ricisimo“

“Everything is great Food and service“

“Comiendo en ertena primabera de lo mejor“

“I found this place on July 4th 2024. I was shopping next door and the store didn't have a public restroom. I walked into the closest restaurant and decided to get some lunch. I tried the chicken and steak quesadilla with fries. I have not been amazed by any particular food in a long time. This was the most authentic, savory, and flavorful quesadilla I have ever had the pleasure of eating! If you are in the area, go and try this place out. You will not be disappointed.“

“OMG WHEN I TELL YALL THESE BURRITOS ARE DELICIOUS! It’s a family ran food truck! They are all very sweet and helpful. Affordable prices! The quesadillas and tacos are bomb too! Definitely have a menu that will make you want to try everything lol! If y’all see this food truck parked somewhere, stop and check them out. You won’t be disappointed!“

“the best!...good food and the best dance club in town“

“We had a wonderful experience celebrating my grandson’s birthday! Great service, excellent food and the decor and scenery were spectacular!“
