50 Best Latin American Restaurants near Closter

“By far one of the best Central American fusion restaurants in Bergen County. Everything was phenomenal but highlights were the Guatemalan breakfast, chicken flautas, pupusas, and fried plantains. The food has a very home cooked feel with fresh, high quality ingredients. And try the tres leches made in house for dessert! The service is also excellent and the owners make you feel like part of the family. On top of all that, the prices are incredible. We’ll be coming back often!“

“great people and music. if you want a quiet place , stay home 🏡“

“This is my favorite place in the entire neighborhood! The service is wonderful, it’s small and intimate, feels like a real gem. It’s got a relaxed non-pretentious atmosphere. I come here on a whim OFTEN. Their signature drink Canelazo is the BEST cocktail i think i’ve ever tasted from anywhere, I crave it frequently, there’s just nothing like it. It’s unique and sexy, ugh, this place is a HIT HIT HIT.“

“The service was absolutely amazing. I felt like I was vip. The food was incredible. We destroyed every menu item. Every dish we ordered was delicious but if I were to rate each dish it would go: 1.pork belly sandwich, 2.the mofongo, 3.empandas and 4.tacos. Amazing atmosphere here, such a cute place. Would most definitely come back when I have the munchies.“

“Carlos the waiter was cordial and very welcoming. Food was like Mom’s home cooking in Puerto Rico. David the owner has created a very welcoming environment that gives a feeling of being back in the island of Puerto RIco right here in Yonkers, NY. If you are looking for a good Puerto Rician dish then this is the place to go. Excellent.“

“Just left this restaurant, rushed traffic to get here before closing. Owner allowed us to dine in, we are repeating customer to this restaurant. Service is phenomenal, very family oriented, always warm and friendly greeting. The food is 100 of 10, would recommend everyone to try it out. Will be back with the family! Blessings“

“Absolutely stellar experience at Mirabella's Latina Cocina! The carne asada was perfection—tender, juicy, and bursting with flavor. Their handcrafted margaritas were a delightful treat, perfectly balanced and refreshing. Arturo, the proprietor, brought a special touch to the evening with his charming Latin hospitality, making us feel truly welcomed and appreciated. To top it all off, the tres leches dessert was the best I've ever had, a sweet ending to a fantastic meal. Get there soon before this hidden gem in West Chester becomes too popular—it's the best-kept secret around!“

“Great food and cool ambiance!“

“muy buena atención y rica comida“

“A true authentic Dominican experience. This is the closest flavors to the food I grew up with, compared to what I've had at home and from visiting family in Dominican Republic. No gate-keeping! I want to make sure they get all the love and recognition they deserve. What incredible food, the options rotate daily, they don't have a menu. Not even sure if they have a phone, so just pop in and get your fix! The lady working the counter is incredibly sweet and you can tell cares for her patrons and the community.

Sin duda una de la mejores comida Dominicana en el alto Manhattan, y son bien amable.“

“Great Ecuadorian traditional food. Staff is great. Love going here and will continue. Highly recommend z“

“Very authentic Dominican food at a great price. The people here are super friendly.
I had the sancocho with rice and a mofongo de pernil, both cooked the traditional way and full of flavor. Portions were generous, everything tasted homemade and was affordable (extra charge for credit card). Simple, honest Dominican food with no frills. Would come back.“

“I found this place by a simple google search! Well it’s a gem! Everything was delicious! We had for an appetizer the empanada sampler and wow!!!! My husband had the skirt steak tacos which were delicious and seasoned to perfection! I had the city island basket and it may have been the best fried fish I’ve ever had! Definitely come visit this place!“

“This place has been a staple for me for more than a decade. The food is authentic Ecuadorian cuisine that brings me right back home, and the service is always kind and attentive. It’s simple, cozy, and welcoming. proof that you don’t need fancy to feel good and eat well. I’m grateful to have this restaurant in the community.“

“Excelente comida me encanta“

“Literally one the tastiest places I’ve been in NYC and I’ve been plenty of times and have had a lot of food. The potion size was amazing and the flavors were on point. I still think of the rice to this day! Most certainly a must try.“

“Stick to breakfast food and you will be fine. Do not order salads and other items in the menu. They make good bagels, waffles, pancakes, eggs, bacon and fries. The pastries and desserts are also really good. Make sure to only order those things.“

“My husband and I live right down the street and always pass this place when driving home. We decided this morning to pop in. I love that's it's most likely family owned as we own a family owned business also. We love to give our business to small local businesses. We ordered the chicken and rice and beans and it was well seasoned and cooked. Very tasty. We will definitely be back to try another item off the menu.“

“I stopped by this little restaurant and was pleasantly surprised by how good everything was. I ordered a mangú con tres golpes and it was absolutely on point, well prepared, flavorful, and just the comfort food I was craving. The jugo de Chinola was not overly sweet and it was just right and refreshing, as it should be.

The service was just as great. Yadira took care of us with a big smile, quick service, and genuine kindness that made the experience even better. For such a small spot, it really delivers in both taste and hospitality.

Recommended 100%“

“No matter how many times I come to Brasier, the service is always extraordinary and amazing. The food is delicious, the ladies’ welcoming attitude and attention are unmatched, and every cocktail is perfect. Ahhh… and the Happy Hour? Truly second to none in New York City. Great music, great food, and a great time — only at Brasier.“

“best food, great atmosphere“

“Yesterday I placed an order for white rice, beans and baked chicken ❤️❤️it was not good it was great❤️❤️❤️I highly recommend it. Today I ordered the Mangu, salami and fried cheese. It is called the Spanish breakfast!! Can't wait to try it. The bad thing is that they have soooo many different gummies to eat that it is hard to choose lmao.“

“This is a diamond in the rough. The items we ordered were very delicious and the quantities are very large. I always get an encebollado here and it is one of the best ones in New York. This time I tried the fritada and it was very good. You can't go wrong with a bolon, basically everything I have had here was delicious.“

“We shared a GUACAMOLE with plantain chips. It was fresh and flavorful. I had the FAROE ISLAND SALMON. The salmon was flavorful and well done on the outside and moist on the inside. My husband enjoyed his medium CHURRASCO 14OZ. The drinks were strong 💪. I recommend this place. I enjoyed the old school salsa music.“

“Amazing food and super friendly service.“

“The food was delicious. We had 2 churrascos. The calamari was nice! The drinks, great. This place really needs to promote better. We came at 4 when it opened and we were the only customers until like 5ish. It took a while before we saw our server but once he did, the service was good.

Encourage large groups during your less busy hours. You have an amazing space. I used to go here during the Jimmy's heydays.“

“👍 perfect........................“

“Great meals, desserts and service. My favorite dessert is the Tres Leches!“

“Great place staff is good ppl nice“

“Best chicharrón you'd ever taste. I can't leave without getting some. I have 4 food spots I drive over an hour to on purpose, out of my way, to get their food; this is one of them. The staff is quick and efficient, they are always on top of everything and you be crazy not to take a step in and be hypnotized by the smells of some of the most mouth-watering flavors you'll ever try in your life.“

“Excellent food service in an unassuming area - highly recommend !“

“Good atmosphere, good music, excellent service and great food. We were 4 people and we ordered 8 beers, 4 crowns, 4 models and different dishes, seafood paella, salmon fillet, toxic mofongo and churrasco, we also ordered a combo to take away and we didn't spend more than 250, definitely the place I'm going to eat when I return to the Bronx,❤️“

“I really like this restaurant, i used to go there all the time when I was 18, the only thing I dont like is that now they have a restriction: if you are under 21 you must sit by the door you are not allowed in the dance area, pretty much sucks for the minors!“

“the best I've had in years“

“My husband and I like to try new restaurants for Friday date nights. This one is close to home and didn't disappoint at all. I am actually still sitting at the restaurant while writing this review!! Lol I ordered the passion fruit marg and stuffed chicken. The chicken was tender and flavorful. The marg was yummy 😋! I would've loved to hear some bad bunny, but overall great vibe. My only eh was that our server seemed like he was having a bad day, otherwise awesome!! I will be back! Thanks for having us.“

“This little gem of a restaurant serves some of the best Dominican food I have eaten in my entire life.

Marinated grilled steak, roast chicken, fried plantains, Mofongo, fried Yucca… Everything is delicious, the restaurant is a beautiful little gem box, and the owner is elegant and wonderful.

The prices are modest we loved everything.“

“Although very chaotic when ordering The food here is spot on most of the meals I get from here make me take a nap at lunch which is a good thing I do recommend this place's food just make sure to go when it's not so crowded it feels like the stock exchange“
