Really happy to find Latina, the food was really unique and delicious, truly a great find! Service was on point too, and the live band on a Thursday night? Cocktails were simple twists on classics but perfectly balanced. Everyone in my family was happy! Give them some love, they deserve it (and so do you!) ?
Great food, however overpriced for what it is. 5 tequenos for 14 dollars seem excessive, so does 2 empanadas for 17.00, when you can get the same empanada elsewere for 2,3 dollars each. We felt the service and atmosphere were good but everyone left unhappy with the pricing of the dishes, plus they dont have a lot of options, very limited!

My first time visiting Latina Kitchen and Bar and it was a really pleasant experience all around! The Salmon dish I ordered was well balanced and full of flavor. The seating was comfortable, the vibe was relaxed yet polished, and our server was super cooI ?. I am looking forward to visiting again soon!

The shrimp and lobster ceviche was dressed and seasoned perfectly! Absolutely delicious! Cadillac margarita, plantain chips and yucca fries were spot on. Highly recommend, will definitely be back!

Drinks were good. Appetizers and main course were good. There was significant confusion because the paper menus provided were in several instances out of date. Lots of unnecessary digging out cell phones and hassling with QR codes. I wouldn't think it would be that challenging to have up to date physical menus.

My colleagues and I had a wonderful meal at this restaurant.The service was great, the food was wonderful.And then at 2 hours mark we were rushed to leave because they overbooked and needed our table to accommodate for another party of 4.So we paid our $500 bill and got up to finish our wine while standing and watching the table being cleaned up in the rush. When I mentioned this to the manager, his response was "I'm sorry".I get that business is good after Covid is over but it's not a good practice rushing out of your customers because you overbooked. That leaves a pretty bad taste in the mouth.Luckily there are quite a few other options in the area to visit.Best of luck to the owners! If you want to look up the transactions, it's Check#18, Table 21.Update: after a careful and thoughtful response from the ownership of this wonderful establishment, we will make sure to take our business elsewhere next time we go out dining with our company.All the best to your new and thriving business!We will make sure to share feedback on this with everyone who asks for dining options in the Needham area.The Farmhouse, The James and Cappella Restaurants while taking reservations through the same web service, do seem to appreciate the importance of customer service. Thank you again for your response.

I had a terrible experience with this restaurant during my recent visit. I called to place an order for pickup as I was traveling from Connecticut to visit friends in Boston. Specifically, I inquired about their "Tequeños" and was told they were available. When placing the order, I requested 10 tequeños, to which the person on the phone informed me they only had 9. I agreed to that and also ordered 6 empanadas and a quesillo.However, upon picking up the order, I was in a hurry and didn't thoroughly check it, assuming they had prepared it correctly. After driving another 45 minutes to my friends house, and opening my order, It turned out they had miscommunicated the quantities to me. "One tequeño" meant an order of 5, and "one empanada" meant an order of 2. Unfortunately, this was not clarified during the phone conversation, nor did they communicate the price to me at all. They charged my card without telling me how much it would cost.Later, when reviewing my charges, I noticed two transactions totaling $121.98. Although I found it to be an unusually high amount for tequeños and empanadas, I thought "I guess they charged us for more than we ordered", I brushed it off. But days later, I discovered another charge of $147.66 in my bank account. Believing it to be a mistake, I called the restaurant to address the issue.The person I spoke to, Antonio, was incredibly rude and unhelpful. Instead of taking responsibility for the miscommunication, he defensively blamed me for not reading the menu. I explained that as a customer, it was their duty to provide all necessary information during the phone call. Shockingly, Antonio D. had the audacity to claim he was too busy to assist me and abruptly hung up while I was still speaking.To summarize, I caution anyone ordering from this restaurant to be extremely vigilant when placing an order over the phone. It is crucial to ask for clarification on every single item to avoid misunderstandings and being taken advantage of.

One of my favorite restaurants in the Needham area (mostly for the empanadas, yucca fries, and drinks)Last visit we had Maria as our server and she was incredibly attentive and sweet-- Definitely worth a visit.
If you're searching for a dining experience that tantalizes your taste buds and leaves you craving for more, look no further than Latina. This hidden gem surpassed all my expectations and left an unforgettable impression. With a menu boasting an array of mouthwatering dishes, the ribeye steak and mussels truly stole the show. The attentive and knowledgeable staff were eager to recommend dishes and accommodate any dietary preferences. The ambiance of the restaurant created a warm and inviting atmosphere, perfect for intimate dinners or celebratory occasions. Visit Latina and prepare for an unforgettable gastronomic journey that will leave you planning your return visit before you've even finished your meal.

Very nice restaurant, we got a sampling of several appetizers so that we could try them everyone loved their food. The garbanzo/black bean meal was good and the Plantain crusted salmon also.
Vegetarian options: Vegetarian options are clearly labeled. Really liked the veggie empanadas and the white dip it came with. They are gluten free too!
Dietary restrictions: Gluten free options are clearly labeled and there are plenty of options

We bought a sampling of appetizers and meals. We got yucca fries, veggie and chicken empanads (I prefer the veggie but my son love the chicken), sweet plantsins, the roasted veggies were delicious, the cole-slaw medly was too. My daughters enjoyed the shrimp meal and plantsin crusted salmon. The whole family liked the foods. I have some gluten free family members and they were easily able to find food. Highly recommend.
Vegetarian options: Loved the veggie empanadas with the dips. Delicious roasted veggies and slaw medley.

We enjoyed every bite : their mussels with a spicy sauce are delicious and fresh - you will want more ; parrilla was a nice surprise : well done meat and sausages and we also ordered side of shrimps. Nice cozy atmosphere; light music ; very friendly stuff; clean; definitely a place to come back. Big parking lot is two minutes walk and it’s free .
