11 Best Latin American Restaurants near Knightdale

“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!

Kid-friendliness: Cute mini park play gym attached to Prime and accessible even after closing.

“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.“

“Clean location with fresh food!! That's the main difference with the other Alpaca locations I've been to. Other locations were a little run down and the food did not seem fresh. This one seems the best Alpaca location!!👍👍 Keep it up!!“

“The food was amazing!!! However, the air conditioner was broke and their thermostat was set for 67 degrees, but it was 88 degrees in there. The workers were sweating profusely! Literally sweat pouring off their faces. I felt so bad for them. Nobody should ever have to work in those conditions. Please fix your air condition.“

“Very good food would recommend to anyone.“

“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.“
