50 Best Latin American Restaurants near Glenview

“Wonderful food!!! I love it all!!! I especially like their tamales and flan!!! The owners are hands on, super guys ! They not only create amazing dishes but they give back to the community. Great food! Great hearts! Five stars! C”mon down and enjoy!“

“The concept for the menu is a unique trip along the Pan-American highway with stops at various Latin countries. Each dish and drink is thoughtful in its ingredients and presentation. The jicama salad was refreshing, but not at all plain. The pastel de choclo was a wonderful surprise of a warm dish. The frozen el arenal was seriously dangerous in how delicious it was, I can’t recommend it enough. The atmosphere was beautiful and the music was perfect. We are so thrilled to have this gem in the neighborhood and can’t wait to see what they do in the future!“

“Can’t recommend Cariño enough! Michelin quality Mexican-inspired fine dining in an intimate setting. Perfect balance of fresh, herbal, spicy, savory, umami, sweet, and salty. It was complex, with an indescribable amount of detail going into each little component in all of the 14 courses. (Also got to try Huitlacoche for the first time, a mushroom-like corn fungus prized in Mexican cooking for its earthy, truffle-like flavor. 👌 An absolute delight!!) The cocktails and mocktails were mind-knowingly good.

Absolutely excellent service. I recommend the chefs table. The chef is very friendly, and the staff is impressive to watch.
They did a great job at accommodating dietary restrictions: no alcohol, no gluten, no dairy.

If you’re into a stuffy atmosphere, this isn’t the place. This place is laid back. No stringent dress code, which is awesome.

Simply indescribable food! Some of the best I’ve ever had in years of trying various fine dining establishments. Still thinking about how amazing it was even days later. Definitely worth the price.“

“Outstanding! Highly recommended Knowledgeable, friendly staff and incredible experience“

“La Parrilla Latin Food in Chicago’s Edgewater neighborhood impresses with its vibrant Colombian-inspired menu, featuring standout dishes like the perfectly grilled steak paired with flavorful plantains and rice, or the crispy empanadas bursting with savory fillings, all served in a beautifully designed space with colorful murals and a welcoming family-run vibe that makes every visit feel special. The portions are generous and prices reasonable, with options like arroz con pollo and fresh ceviche that deliver authentic Latin flair, complemented by friendly service and a lively atmosphere ideal for casual dinners or gatherings, though some items like the beans could use a bit more seasoning for that extra punch, and busy times might mean a short wait—overall, it’s a delightful spot that consistently hits the mark on taste and charm, earning a solid four stars.“

“Such a hidden gem, this restaurant was amazing and I'm so glad we stumbled upon it. The complementary soup was so good we asked for a whole bowl, we also ordered the pulpo and the risotto special they had for the day and I cannot decide which one I liked better, they both blew my mind. Great service, amazing food, definitely a 5 star restaurant!“

“We were here a couple of years ago and planning on going hopefully this weekend (I'm from Chicago but live overseas for work). The food was amazing and the atmosphere, music, dancing was a lot of fun and not where you felt you were being picked up or come on to all the time...it was a nice place. Can't wait to go again.“

“Hit up Sugar Blow in Lakeview—cute AF spot that’s part cafe, part boutique. Snagged some empanadas, the famous tequeños, and a double latte— ended up around $25. The empanadas had that crispy golden crust and melty filling, and the tequeños? Legit the best in Chi-town. Vibe’s chill, owner’s super friendly, and the space is cozy with cool merch. Perfect hang spot—highly recommend!“

“Had an amazing meal here last night. There were four of us and we each ordered a different entree so we can have a taste of each entree. We started with ceviche and empanadas. So delicious! Then our meals came…. And OMG! Each entree was so different and amazing! Everything is made from scratch sauces dressings etc. We ended the meal with the dessert and all tried something different. Everything we eat was incredible! The restaurant is so warm and cozy… the same feeling I got from ourmeal. It’s BYOB so bring your favorite drink and try this place. I promise you… you will not be disappointed!“

“Absolutely delicious food - wonderful and generous staff who gave us such kindness and some extra treats for our meal. Also it is very affordable and you get a HUGE amount of food for your money. Each meal is about $10-$15 and honestly could feed at least 1.5-2 people probably. Plenty of leftovers.

The Saborcito Platter is amazing, delicious, and a great deal. Probably enough to easily feed 3-4 people for just $30.“

“I had a very nicely served meal with my boyfriend. We went to eat a dinner plate with Skirt Steak, rice, and black beans. I really loved the guacamole flavor 😋. All the food very tasty and delicious 😋. I would like to complainant my waitress Diana. She did a very good job with our service. I would recommend the Quetzal Restaurant to family and friends. I will score a 100’/, to Quetzal Restaurant.“

“Every part of this place is several notches above what you might expect from a small storefront restaurant. Especially the kitchen, where someone clearly cares. The simply named “Fish Stew” stood out, with plantain chips to crumble into it. Everyone speaks Spanish here, but you don’t have to to feel welcomed.“

“The food here is amazing and the portions are very generous! The complementary plantain chips are a plus too. I had the caldo de bagre and I highly recommend it! The fish was perfectly tender and the broth was so comforting and filling. A perfect place to enjoy a warm, delicious meal!“

“Great experience!! Staff was so amazing and accommodating! Food was beyond delicious! We were a large (and raucous) group who hadn't seen each other in a while and the whole experience was so welcoming and enjoyable! Thanks for making the night so special!“

Ha sidi DECADAS en que pude disfrutar Apanado de Carne con Manzana y Tropical. Los chifles, Maduro y Flan de coco encabezo una gran experiencia. Defintivamente volvere. Un abrazo!❤️“

“The service was fine. Our server was polite and responsive. The atmosphere is casual. As there are lots of hard surfaces, the noise level is somewhat high. The food was good. The "black truffle" barrata is a ball of cheese on top of some stewed green vegetables. I detected no evidence of any truffles in the dish. No truffle aroma or flavor. Seafood pasta primavera was tasty with fresh seafood.“

“Sooo Goood. The calamari was perfectly breaded and the citrus aioli sauce was delicious. My Asada y Papas was melting in my mouth. Highly recommended.“

“I would eat more but stomach has a limit. I have been visiting this place for years and I have tried everyone the menu. Never disappointed. I always go for the churrasco and the carne asada. I recommend highly the chimichurri with extra lime. You'll be in heaven after that.“

I ordered a small juice (not natural)
If I don't eat already dissolved juice and they charged me $5“

“Our server was Trey!! I had the smash burger and a margarita! Everything was so delicious! I recommend this place to anyone! It is a Mexican spot so getting a burger was sorta strange but once I read the beef was mixed with Chorizo I was sold and just had to try it. It didn’t disappoint. The Guacamole/ salsa and chips were as very tasty! A must try“
