50 Best Latin American Restaurants near Dorchester

“Small business that serves many Spanish food options. I usually go for the Spanish rice with baked chicken but most of the time I go they usually only have the smaller fried chicken. The service is great. Quick and efficient selection style eating and you can get different plate sizes with the options you want. Small indoor sit-down eating with 3-4 tables but a good choice for take out lunch options.“

“great dominican foods friendly staff effectively service“

“Melissa brought me the vegan empanadas they had made with their collab with Impossible meat. And do you know how hard it was to not eat all 4 at once?! So flavorful and yummy! The ingredients were well distributed throughout, the dough was absolutely delicious and everything was perfectly cooked. Everything she does is amazing and I can’t wait to see what she comes up with next!“

“Las mejores empanadas ,deliciosas 👌👏“

“We visited Desnuda as a highly recommended dining experience, and it delivered on every level. From the moment we arrived, the entire team made us feel welcome, from the hostesses all the way to our server Madaline and her crew. They truly operate as a team, and it shows.

The atmosphere is wonderfully intimate and refreshingly quiet, do not expect a large space or many tables, but do expect a warm and inviting setting that makes every visit feel special. The menu is thoughtfully curated and the portions are perfectly sized. Do not expect oversized plates. expect perfectly crafted dishes that are completely satisfying. We ordered several and every single one was an absolute standout.
We will absolutely be back.

Thank you to the entire Desnuda team for an outstanding experience. See you soon!“

“Amazing food and staff. Mi primera vez y no sera la ultima. Muchas gracias por su gran atencion y ambiente super agradable y seguro. La musica en vivo es un super + excelente el Grupo El Grupo Chevere. Me encanto el Ceviche peruano, el Expresso Martini super rico.“

“Great place for date night.“

“I’m usually weary trying new places but I’m glad I did! I got the birria tacos and a zucchini pupusa. The flavor was great and it’s a small owned family business. If you’re in the area be sure to support! I wish I got a picture but was too hungry“

“This place had the best chicken Parmesan we had ever eaten. I’m so glad we stumbled upon this place that was not too far from our hotel. Our waitress was so kind and attentive.“

“Muqueca Restaurante é simplesmente o melhor dos melhores restaurantes com a melhor culinária de comidas típicas Brasileira que tem aqui 🇺🇸! Tudo de primeira qualidade feito com amor ! Atendimento excelente, preços não vou nem falar,somente vocês indo lá para comer e saberá! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Can’t rate this place high enough! Clean, friendly service, abundance of options, but the food? The food is beyond incredible! Had the breakfast tacos and my husband had the Colombian breakfast. Omg, it was incredible!“

“Got a box from too good to go. It was a substantial portion with two chicken drumsticks, a few chunky pieces of plantain, some chickpea stew thing and alottt of rice. Taste was nice and looking forward to trying items in the future. Glad that even though it’s left overs from the day, they make an effort to pack a balanced meal ❤“

“We came here for dinner. Service was good. Staff was helpful and friendly. We tried the Birria Taco, Fish Taco, Shrimp Taco, pork taco, Nachos steak fried, Pupuas and Churros. The Birria taco was juicy and tender. Pupuas was cheesy and delicious. We also tried some tequila and margaritas. Everything was great. Would come back“

“Todo muy bueno y la atención de primera“

“Celeste is an excellent restaurant. The restaurant itself is charming and warm, the dishes were innovative and fresh, and the service was quick and helpful. The attention to detail was impressive - you'll see what I mean when you go. My favorite dish was definitely the Tucuma Mousse; it was luscious and subtle and different from anything I've had before.“

“Food was great. Drinks were great. Service was great. What would have been great is if people didn't get kicked out through some back door to then have to wait in line again even though we had been there. Fine. You want earn more money by having people pay a $40 cover but maybe have people that are inside already pay like a $10 cover to be able to stay and NOT have to wait in line.“

“Gran Sabor PUERTO Riqueño un buen servicio , al cliente muy exquisitos sabor y las alcapurrias, no salamente te comes una compras mas de tan ricas que son ,muy profecionales en atender con recpeto.“

“Bocadillos catered my daughter's college graduation party in our home. The food dictated the theme! Year after year, my daughter has followed their "Empanda Truck" at the Snow Port in Boston. Last winter, she insisted that I go too, just so I could taste the empanadas. They were absolutely mouth wateringly delicious!!!! So much so that when it came time to choose who would cater her grad party, the choice was easy! Since Carribean/Latin American food was the menu, we complimented it by hosting a full blown Fiesta with a margarita bar and more for 40 people! We had the food prepared in advance and everything was delicious and piping hot! Our host/chef added to the fastivities with his knowledge of the food, his kindness, and his sense of humor. The cost was very reasonable as well. WARNING: Once you have these empanadas, you will never be able to eat anyone elses again.

Vegetarian options: My favorite empanada is vegetarian!!! And I'm not a vegetarian. My favorite is the corn & cheese, and my second favorite is the black bean.“

“Delicious with quick friendly service. Gracias“

“I ordered my daughters 6th birthday cake from La Casa Del Pandebono and it literally the best experience I’ve ever had with any business. Not only was the custom cake beautiful and delicious, they provided a level of exceptional customer service that I didn’t even know existed. The “Tangled” cake included a beautiful edible gold crown as it’s center piece, and it was packaged separately. Despite my best efforts to handle it carefully, I accidentally broke it the night before the birthday party. I texted the owner asking if he has recommendations for me to reassemble it (knowing it was unlikely, but I was desperate). He immediately responded and asked for my address, letting me know he’d deliver a new one when he closed the store (I live in another town). I was shocked at his generosity and beyond grateful. As an expression of gratitude, a sent him an additional tip which he politely attempted to reject (I wouldn’t allow it…haha). In return, he delivered not only the grown, but an order of birria tacos and an empanada (which I was admiring when I went to pick up the cake) - literally the best tacos I’ve ever had. I cannot emphasize how touched I was by this experience. La Casa Del Pandebono is a rare gem - baked goods that are truly a work of art, and incredible food that is only surpassed by the unbelievable customer service. I will be a customer for life.“

“Best empanadas in town! I love the argentina the most but all are delicious. Quick service and friendly people in a great location! Highly recommend.

Vegetarian options: The meatless empanadas are uniquely tasty!

Kid-friendliness: Options that even kids will love“

“Wonderful food as always. Very authentic and always the best! Thank you Tu y Yo!“

“We were surprised to find this place empty and not buzzing with customers!
The food was authentic and delicious, similar to what we'd had in Brazil. The decor was also tasteful. The staff were nice and friendly, and parking was super easy!
I really believe they deserve more recognition.“

“Wonderful atmosphere, food and service. Able to accommodate food restrictions. Highly recommended!“

“This is a “spanish” bar first and foremost. They have small tables if you want to sit and have something to eat. The interior needs a big time refresh but don't judge the place by it's appearance. The beer is cold and very affordable. The food is GREAT!! If you like typical Colombian food - this place is a home run!! Did I mention that the beer was cold and very affordable??! :-) It would get 5 stars from me if the interior wasn't so old.“

“El mejor lugar para pasar en familia y amigos deliciosa comida y excelente atención al cliente“

“Good vibe love the ceviche mixto along with the sweet plantains and the sangria, cocktails and staff is great. It’s phenomenal 👍“

“Today I stop by this place for my first time and I’m already loving it. The 🍞 is out of this world!!!“

“High quality, homemade food cooked with love.“

“Great spot. Large, spacious and Nicely decorated Restaurant. Extremely welcoming front desk. Professional staff. Excellent Margarita menu. Delicious food. I highly recommend. One of my favorite small details about this place is when you order the queso. It comes in a small cast-iron pot with a tea light candle underneath so you do not have to rush to finish the queso, it is going to be warm for as long as you want. Tacos are delicious. Just go and try it yourself“

“So much fun, great food choices and exemplary staff! 10/10 😊“

“buenas atenciones y buen sabor“

“Best burritos in the Boston area. Better than Anna's and Boca grande“

“Las Palmas catered my daughter’s 1st Birthday, and I was blown away at the quality of this food for the price! It was beyond delicious, and not only that, the detail they put into their presentation is what really sets them apart from other places I’ve used in the past. I will certainly be using Las Palmas again for future events. Thank you for completing our baby girls birthday.“

“So delicious and the best Ive had in the Cambridge/ North End/ Seaport area. The margarita was clean and fresh, the food had all the flavors you want and the tacos came with beans and rice (other places in the area, its three tacos ONLY on the plate and rice & beans are extra). Coming from Arizona & Texas for the majority of my adult life, this is the only place I will go now in the future.
I ate at the bar the few times I went and appreciated the service and friendliness of the staff.“

“During a recent visit, I had the distinct pleasure of experiencing a charming establishment, ideally situated on a corner. The overall ambiance was exceptionally welcoming, setting a very positive tone for the entire experience. I was particularly impressed by the exemplary customer service provided by a staff member, whose consistent affability and genuinely pleasant demeanor significantly enhanced my visit. Furthermore, the empanadas, were truly outstanding, distinguished by their authentic and artisanal quality, strongly reminiscent of a homemade preparation. This establishment undoubtedly provides a superior product coupled with excellent service.“

“(Translated by Google) Well, for the first time, I loved the scrambled pupusa and the coffee. Moderate prices (cheap) and spectacular food. The girl who served me, very friendly. When I visit Boston, I'll be back there. Thanks, excellent quality!(Original)Bueno, para ser la primera vez, me encantó la pupusa revuelta y el café. Precios módicos( baratos) y la comida espectacular. La chica que me atendió, muy amable. Cuando visite Boston, vuelvo para allá. Gracias, excelente calidad!!!!“

“I had the opportunity to enjoy lomo saltado and chicharrón with tostones at "El Kiosko." The flavor combination was exceptional, highlighting the juiciness of the lomo and the crispness of the chicharrón. The presentation was impeccable, and each bite reflected the attention to detail in the kitchen. I definitely give it a 5/5. A highly recommended culinary experience.

“Always great food and energetic atmosphere! Love my Latino family😊“

“I am not the person to be writing or giving an opinion on anything in any store but they never arrive. I write this not to offend or anything. I write it in a way so that they are aware and do not steal. For you, .15 cents is nothing, nor for me, but for someone else it may mean something.

My experience and what is happening with this business. They cook very delicious, I am clear about that, the flavor in the food is very good. The problem is that the first time I asked for the receipt and with itemized prices and I see that they charge me .15 for the bag, I said, that's fine because I need it and in some places they charge it. Today I'm going to pick up an order and I tell him I don't have a bag so he doesn't charge me for it and I ask for a receipt with the prices broken down, a girl tells me "take it because it was charged anyway" I tell her that it was charged if I said that I didn't love her.

They started telling me that the system charges it automatically, that the city hall charges taxes etc etc etc, a lot of excuses. I know they buy the bags but if I don't want it however I want they keep it, I don't steal it, and if I had to buy it I would buy it, that is not my regret. Gentlemen, the client has and should have the option to decide if he wants to pay the damned bag or not, not that they say that the system charges it automatically, it is a scam and a theft from the client. Because I know that .15 cents is nothing, but we have to be honest with customers and ask if they want the bag or not and that there is an additional cost even if it is an additional cent. A lady got angry and took out .15 to give me them and I didn't want them, I grabbed the bag and told her I'll take it because they charged for it anyway. That's not how you struggle. If they are going to charge for something, they should tell the client and let the person decide if they want it or not. Not just charge them and that's it. I come back and repeat, they cook very delicious, I recommend it but in that hidden charge that they don't say it is where I see the difference, without offending. And they will say, if you want to buy here, you should buy and if not go somewhere else, but we are talking about honesty above all. Something that they are failing a little.

Ahhh and about the service, one of them must learn to be a little more friendly and have good manners, because you as a representative within the establishment should be more friendly and attentive. In general, I recommend the food and its flavors are very delicious.“

“Today I was having a pretty off morning and I’ve been super exhausted, I walked into this restaurant today and I am there pretty often and the owner had told me I seemed pretty tired today which is true, she told me that she hopes I have a better day. I ordered my food and sat down and she comes out with something for me to try, now she didn’t have to do this but I truly appreciate it and she may not know it but that made my day better. Every time I go in there they show great hospitality and always treat their customers with respect and create a comfortable environment and also amazing food. I will always recommend this spot to all my friends & clients !!“

“Everything. They are the perfect place to relax , have fun, and enjoy great Spanish music and great Spanish food. I love this place. 💜 Norvia is the Best!!!!“

“Ladies and gentlemen! Not recommended here at all, specifically if you are not Spanish. I experienced the worst moments that night here in Las Vegas at sherly Ave, revere. I'm trying to explain in a simple way - The bartender whose name is Natalya as i heard, she threated me so bad that i have had never experienced in my whole life. It was around 12:00 am, Thursday sep 29 I entered the bar, the bartender that i mentioned her name above, she pointed her finger to me infornt of every one and asked me to leave the bar immediately. Folks! Let me be honest with you, I don’t take that stupid thing from nobody if I’m not wrong. I asked the reason but she had nothing to say to match any restaurant and bar policy. even she asked from other servers do not serve me any food or drinks. i noticed, she doesn’t know nothing about the customer service either, zero. Unfortunately, there was nobody responsible to solve this issue. they said we do not have a supervisor or manger here. the way she treated me, that is so rude, unprofessional and unacceptable. I’m not lying, i did nothing wrong and i have a prove as well, they got cameras on every corners in the bar. Worst experienced. poor customer service. Totally the whole thing was terrible that night.“

“I placed a large order for pick up for a familial event that included a large Tray of pernil, large tray of chicken, large tray or moro and potato salad 2 days before the event and they came through. The food was great and everyone was satisfied.“
