18 Best Latin American Restaurants near Garner

“we always get 1/2 with double beans and rice. so delicious“

“Visiting from out of town, my husband and I were ready for lunch. I searched “food near me”, and this restaurant was only .2 miles away. We had no experience with Peruvian food, and looked forward to a new adventure. We have no regrets. This place is amazing! We both ordered the Lomo Saltado Salvaje, beef, served with a perfectly cooked egg and delicious plantains. The stir fried tomatoes and onions tasted fresh, and the beef was sublime. The portions were huge, and we could have easily shared a plate. We washed everything down with passion fruit juice, and took a delicious dessert to go. We will make this restaurant a destination, and will drive two hours to eat here. DELICIOUS!!!“

“She was an exceptional waitress. The whole experience is a vibe!“

“A real winner! We stumbled upon this place after looking for somewhere new to eat since Prime BBQ had closed early. I didn't realize it was a food truck with an open patio and Latin music playing at the back of Prime BBQ. Their Latin cuisine is more Puerto Rican/Cuban style. Meaning the tacos are kind of standalone meals (1 is enough for some, 2 should fill up most people).

I had the Lechon taco which was perfectly juicy tender third of a pound of meat with tangy sauce on a tasty tortilla. I initially also split the queso with chorizo with my husband. He had a respectable Cuban sandwich with phenomenal tostones on the side. Everything was well seasoned and delectable.

After a few minutes to digest we went back for our second round of food. I ordered myself another lechon taco to go (to enjoy the next day, and can confirm it reheats wonderfully), in some of the most delicious crispy on the outside fluffy on the inside churros with chocolate drizzle and sweet perfectly balanced dipping sauce. I normally don't like tostones and prefer sweet plantains exclusively, but a taste of my husband's salty, crispy tostones paired with a perfect dipping sauce made me get my own order for the first time of my life!

I'm very picky about my Latin food as a native New Yorker whose best friend is Mexican, but Primo Latin Cuisine is a definite winner!

“Delicious chicken and drinks“

“Everything we ate tonight was fresh and delish!! Friendly staff and excellent food!! The salsa was amazing!!“

“Amazing food and service. 10/10 recommend this place. The plating is beautiful. Great combination of flavors. The tart berries and balsamic glaze with the salty prosciutto and tangy goat cheese make for the best avocado toast I’ve ever had.“

“Very good food would recommend to anyone.“

“The gentleman was so friendly and patient. He gives great recommendations if you are indecisive and honestly you can’t go wrong! Had ham and cheese, bacon and cheese, pork chimichurri and chicken empanadas and they were all delicious. Both the hot sauce and chimichurri sauces are must have. Best part is that they are prepared when you order them, not just sitting on display. Worth the wait!“

“Absolutely fantastic all the way around! Food is delicious! Owners are amazing! The guava/cheese dessert empanadas are amazing! Definitely a family favorite!“

“The food was tasty and the customer service was exceptional. Cristopher Mena was very friendly and always made sure everything was perfect at our table. The decoration and atmosphere are also very nice, without a doubt, I would repeat the visit...?“

“This hidden gem exceeded all my expectations. From the moment we walked in, the vibrant atmosphere was intoxicating, filled with colorful décor, and the warmest smiles from the staff. The mezcal selection was top-notch, with options that you don’t typically find, and the cocktails were masterfully crafted. The food was amazing and perfectly cooked. We had empanadas and tacos. It was so good we ordered seconds of both.“

“This review is WAY overdue! My goodness I 🥰 this place. The food is good and I love the Steak Sataldo. However, what I'm here to brag about is the customer service.

There are a lot of young people who work here. I don't even know if anyone is even 25 other than the cooks. The young people are so well mannered with great attitudes. I can tell they get along well with one another. They are ALWAYS nice to customers and every last one of them seems to be diligent workers. I've never even ONCE seen anyone just standing around. All hands on deck is what I see.

I once saw a few of them watching a football game (soccer) on a slow day. They all were so quiet even as they silently cheered. Soon after they were back to work. It's rare to find restaurants where the food is consistently good and even the youth is nice. Also, the place is always clean.“

“We decided to celebrate my son‘s 22nd birthday here tonight, I had reserved a table for 14 about a month ago and was surprised when we got there and they had a table for 10 of us and then a separate table for four of us. I wasn't thrilled about my party, not all sitting together so they quickly accommodated us and moved us to a table.That would see all 14. There were no food runners so our waitress had a lot on her plate, but she was very nice and I would definitely go back here and celebrate again. The food was amazing. We had appetizers and dessert and everything was great and came out quickly and taste amazing.“

“Very good food would recommend to anyone.“

“How did I not try this place sooner?!
Me and my son walked in and it was busy..good sign.
