10 STARS!! We had the most authentic and delicious meal at The Latin Effect on Franklin Street. I had arepos and my husband had chalupas - both so tasty and so different from standard tacos and nachos (also on their menu!). Generous portions and delicious sauces plus fresh hot chips and homemade salsa, and pickled coleslaw with a real bite to it rounded out the meal for a great value. Our server was so helpful in guiding our choices - plus made a fantastic caipereña! We will return!

Ordered pickup and it was super fast (<15 minutes) and incredibly tasty. The chicken arepas were awesome. Had been wanting to go here since it opened and will be coming back often!!

My family (myself, my husband, our 3 year old and 4 month old) tried this restaurant for the first time yesterday and we absolutely loved it! The atmosphere was great, loved the music and the food was AMAZING. I would also say that it's family friendly. We will definitely be back and would recommend this place to everyone.

I visited this place for the first time last weekend. It’s clean, cozy, and the service is great. We tried the arepas and pupusas. The chicken and carne asada arepas were delicious! Everything was fresh and well prepared. Highly recommend it! I’ll definitely be back.

Absolutely phenomenal experience at The Latin Effect! The taquitos are to die for! perfectly crisp, flavorful, and clearly made with love. The ambience is just as impressive: warm, vibrant, and full of energy, making it the perfect spot! The staff are friendly, attentive, and make you feel right at home. Plus, the location is super convenient. I can’t recommend this place enough, definitely worth the drive from Raleigh!
Amazing food and service! Loved my dinner here, will 100% return. Definetly try the Pollo con tajadas

The food is delicious. There are plenty of vegan options that are clearly marked on the menu. The service is warm and kind. The atmosphere is a bit of a combo of a sports bar and a Latin restaurant, so might not fit everyone.
