7 Best Latin American Restaurants near Beverly

“La Qchara is the type of neighborhood spot that everyone wishes was on their block. Charming, smallish space with comfortable seating, a glass window onto vibrant Cabot Street, and art from local artists/artisans in the wall. There is a 6-seat bar, where our party of 6 sat, right in the middle of action and a great vantage for enjoying the making of the carefully crafted margaritas Mango? Spicy? Skinny? Classic? You have some wonderful choices. Or a coconut mojito with a toasted coconut rim? Our expert bartender Ernesto made each drink with thoughtful expertise, and they were delicious! These came with a mild salsa and perfectly crisp tortilla chips to munch on while perusing the exciting menu. We added the habanero sauce conveniently placed on the bar and livened the salsa up a bit (not everyone loves super spicy—but our party loved the heat!) The food is from a scratch kitchen, and it is delicious. We started with shared apps—the shrimp ceviche and the tuna tartare tostada—both fresh as can be and loaded with lime and chile flavors. We also split an order of tostones, that were of perfect consistency, light and fluffy almost, with a chipotle crema for dipping. Excellent choices for starters—all six of us had plenty, and we finished the plates. For entrees, two of us had veggie enchiladas mole, two had chicken enchiladas mole, and two had Birreria tacos. These plates came with rice and beans, which were silken smooth with perfect flavor of Latin spices. La Qchara blends the cuisines of Venezuela, Mexico, and Guatemala—and the menu represents each well. It's so nice to be able to choose from the best loved dishes from each unique land. On a street where you have many pre-theatre choices, La Qchara was a delight—we all knew we picked the perfect spot. Hospitality abounds, and the food and drinks are so satisfying. We only wish there was a La Qchara in Somerville—we'd be there every week!“

“The food was beyond delicious—authentic, flavorful, and clearly made with love. Every dish tasted fresh and well-seasoned, and the portions were generous. I highly recommend trying their pupusas, carne asada, and tamales—everything we ordered was a hit!

The customer service was just as impressive. The staff was incredibly welcoming, attentive, and friendly. They made sure we felt at home from the moment we walked in. You can tell they care about their customers and take pride in what they do.

If you’re looking for great Central American food in Lynn with top-notch hospitality, El Gran Jaguar is a must-visit. I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“Nice service, I’ve been here multiple times but this specific time I came to celebrate my moms 49th birthday, service was great I would suggest for the food to come out all together rather than one plate at the time. Definitely a vibe. Angelica was great, very professional and polite“

“My family and I have dined here many times, always excellent food, efficient but un-rushed service. Great value for money and run and staffed by lovely people. A firm favourite with us over the past five years.“

“Fire authentic real Dominican food at a very affordable prices. The staff were great and reasonably accommodating. They dont skimp on portions either you get exactly what you want and the pricing is actually very reasonable. Have gone a few times and will be back for sure.
