4 Best Latin American Restaurants near Waukegan

“My friend who is Jewish wanted to try Honduran food for the first time, we drove an hour to this restaurant. The entrance is the same door as the Red Iguana, towards the right door. It was clean and though it was slow, the food quality did not disappoint. This is an authentic Honduran flavor (I am from Honduras) and the servings are very good for their price. I also bought fresh cheese and sour cream, 100% recommended. My friend's favorite was pollo chuco but we also tried yuca Frita, baleadas and enchiladas, their refried beans are delicious. Waters were fresh. Excellent place!!“

“Always a great experience. The staff are very friendly. I love the Chileajo. As a vegetarian, it's hard to find dishes when you are out to eat that taste like real food with good flavor. They were unfortunately out tonight, but we were surprised with an off the menu dish that was really tasty.
That was kind. Thank you.“

“Great service , great food ! Definitely will be back !“
