4 Best Latin American Restaurants near Rockland

“I’ve been dying to get my Cuban food fix! Finally got to go for lunch, and I have got to say: The smell of fresh baked bread when you walk in is intoxicating. All of your Puerto Rican and Cuban favourites are here. I got a roast pork sandwich, but the plates going by with chuletas, mofongo, pernil, guisados, yuca, salads, were all freshly prepared. I wanted to try everything each plate looked better than the next. At the counter, pastels and empanadas and desserts were on display to further tempt you. I got a soursop shake, which was an icy drink made with soursop and condensed milk. It was deliciously frosty and sweet (and soursop is good for you too!) I ordered the lechon sandwich which was packed with perfectly roasted juicy pork and I got a side of fries (which could feed 3 people!) my friend got the burger and a mango drink with yuca fries. The burger was fresh ground and hand packed, the yuca fries were crunchy and light. We both got Cuban coffees which were delicious too. Suddenly we weren’t sitting in a cold rainy restaurant, we were basking in the sun in Calle Ocho.☺️ Oh- The service was super friendly and attentive, you can tell they take pride in the food they make, and making their guests feel like family. This is going to be my new go to. Give it a try!“

Nobody rushes you out, so you get to sit and eat in peace and actually enjoy your meal. We didn't feel rushed at all. The servings are incredibly generous. There were four of us, and only one person was able to finish her entire meal. Kudos to her-- I think she should have gotten a prize for that. pollo guisado' on the menu -- a staple in Dominican households. There was plenty of chicken,.“
