50 Best Latin American Restaurants near East Rutherford

“Food is super fresh and the owner is so nice and you can tell he takes pride in his food. Never had baliada before Mi Sabor and definitely a fan!“

“I always get the shredded roast pork with french fries (for both sides) and extra gravy. The pork is tasty and the fries are always crispy. I eat the pork with the fries and gravy altogether (fries still stay crispy) and it's so delicious.“

“I ride hard for this restaurant because not only is the food delicious and well priced, but it is one of increasingly few restaurants in the area (or even the city...) where you can sit down at 10:30 or 11:00pm and have a full meal without being rushed. This has become a vestige of old New York because people have started eating so early since covid. Drives me crazy. Thank god for Tabare. It's also super cozy and dark, great for small groups or a date.“

“love it !!! food was great and the service too“

“I’ve been following Titi’s for a while now and finally made my way to the store let me tell you it was so worth driving through traffic.

I ordered the oxtail ( so good make sure you use the juice )

I also ordered the chicken and cheese ( use the hot sauce) so good 10/10

I also ordered the cuben sandwich so good I wanted another one

Last thing I got was the cheesecake and guava I wish I would had ordered two.

This is a great place to visit the staff is friendly and welcoming I’ll be back for more.“

“I enjoy tasting empanadas from all types of places. Empanada Mama is by far the best of any place I’ve ever tasted!! The portions were stunning, the food was full of flavor, the menu is large, and the dessert empanadas are just as amazing as the savory ones! Definitely some comfort food right here ❤️ Amazing delivery as well“

“One of my favorite places now to eat Latino food now in NYC!!!! Visited mast week and had the Frito Mixto and ate every single yuca they had!!! Everything tasted fresh and hand made. Also got the rice and beans with the black pepper beef and chicharrón. My favorite was the black pepper beef. Was so soft and tender. The chicharrón was good but had a lot of fat (chicharrón always has fat lol) for me. The parts of meat were actually really good. For drinks we got the Pandan and it was delicious. Definitely one of the best drinks I’ve had in a while. Will surely pass and eat at this place if around!!! Btw they had Karaoke too if interested!“

“Great food, great service!“

“fantastic food, but horrible service. AND they force an 18% gratuity on all parties“

“Great restaurant and vibe. Couple areas of improvement. They brought out a single entree first, after asking about five minutes later, they brought our salad and later another entree. Also, spent $27 on a gin martini and I prefer a traditional chilled martini glass rather than a wine glass for that price.“

“An amazing place yo share with your loves one and have a good talk and share a delicious bottle of wine, food it’s amaze ! Really tasty and flavorful l, 10/10“

“Good food excellent service .Great job Juan Carlos“

“the rotisserie chicken is grestrice a peas nice my favorite spot 😋“

“Our meal was DELICIOUS! Scallop appetizer followed by entrees of halibut, bronzino and orata. Wonderful service made for a beautiful evening“

“Always a pleasure ordering from here. Food is deliciously well seasoned and cooked. From tender meats to variety of foods for the picky ones; all fresh! The portions are extremely generous and fairly priced. The lunch size foods can feed up to three people. Excellent choice for those that don’t wanna cook, feed the fam and have some food to take for next day. I always recommend this place 🔥“

“la recomiendo 100% es un ambiente muy entrenado.“

“will comeback, 100% recommended“

“Today was our 4th time visiting Samba. The food is consistently great! the service is top-notch. They have a very friendly staff. The atmosphere is old-school Brazilian and very comfortable. I highly recommend Samba, especially if you like gluten-free cuisine.“

“Great place, great environment and good vibes.😀“

“EXCELENTE“

“I would've given it 5 Stars because we had a great time with the fabulous DJ spins. Fun! I had arroz con pollo which was very good and had the coconut flan which did not taste the coconut and want as good as I would think. We had an issue with the waitresses way of attending the table. Not friendly at all and tried to charge us $16 for a drink that stayed $14 on the menu. I thought it was an error until she said that drink has 4 liquors,. I explained that it didn't matter if there were 10 liquors in the drink, when your menu states differently that's what you charge. Hope the manager or owner has a talk with her to be friendlier. Also no coffee which is weird being that it's Latin.“

“Great spot for lunch to dinner. Kind of a all-day, everyday spot. Serving from noon till late night. Great comfort Latin American cuisine. Full service restaurant and bar.“

“Such a great place with a beautiful atmosphere and great food. The owner Alberto makes you feel at home. We will definitely be back.“

“I am a regular customer and I must say the food is always consistent the love and dedication that chef put each day is remarkable. The price is reasonable and the server is amazing and professional . Thank you chef for all the amazing meal you make for me and my son .“

“Crazy good empanadas - my partner and I shared the empanada flight as a takeout order, and I'll be thinking about these for a while. Nice variety of fillings, crusts, and sauces - definitely recommend ordering the flight to get acquainted with everything Titi's has to offer. In particular the puff pastry crusts were so flaky and buttery, but the corn and platano shells are great too. So glad to have this place in the neighborhood and can't wait to return.“

“Great service good food 👍🥝“

“my favorite is the prosecutor ! but everything is great ! very cool guys there !“

“great service,just grest in venetal.👍“

“The flavors are bold and balanced, and the service is excellent!
Do not expect fast casual slop bowl - this is real food made with love and time.
It really felt like eating a comforting meal at a friend’s house.
The ceviche, zucchini pupusas, and fried shrimp are standouts.“

“The decor at this morsel of Costa Rican culture is aesthetically pleasing and if you’re in the area, this is one of the better Tico spots. We watched Costa Rica beat Paraguay in a Copa America game while eating pupusas, un Casado and Tacos Ticos and totally hit the spot. Especially since they served some salsa Lizano on the side.“

“great pupusas delicious shakes“

“Restaurant is just beautiful. Right on the water with stunning views of NYC. Menu is diverse but not overwhelming. Guacamole, roast pork, vegan empanadas and avocado salad were all delicious. They have fun cocktails on the menu. Highly recommend.“

“Recommended NEW latín restaurant in Paterson.... keep going guys !!!“

“Celebrated our company Christmas outing today and everything was awesome from the time we entered til the time we left. Carlos is awesome, the service we received was excellent and the food is excellent. Thank you Carlos for the Awesome service, greatly appreciated.“

“Best spot in the food court. Deserves its own spot tbh.

I love the Cuban sandwich here and the owner makes the mustard himself too apparently! Great w Yuca fries (comes w white sauce) and Plantains.

The Pernil Combo was great as well. Tender pull-apart pork, paired with Hot sauce (self-serve)

The only thing is that the menu looks slightly overwhelming without many pictures but don't let that discourage you“

“buena atención y menú bariado“

“Everything on the menu is delicious! The service is fast and staff is amazing. My children love their empanadas! It’s cozy, welcoming and relaxing ambiance…“

“Best food in the neighborhood. Been coming here for 4 years and have yet to be disappointed. You literally cannot go wrong, but my favorites are the oxtail, the pernil, and the stewed chicken. Don’t forgot to add either yellow rice or rice with black beans and some extra pinto beans to top it off.“

“Tienen que visitar este gran y majestuoso restaurante lo bien que se come!!“

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

“I was looking for a specific type of soup, called a lot of the Spanish restaurants no one made it. Found this restaurant and from the first phone call they are truly amazing. They were very attentive to what I wanted. Quick and efficient. Another time I went to the place to place my order, even better the young lady was super sweet and the man there was so attentive to my order. Will definitely keep on ordering. Even the empanadas were made fresh. Small restaurant but excellent customer service! I ordered asopao de camarones!“

“I called this morning at 6am to inquire how long it would take them to make 3 dozen empanadas, for a work event, they said ten mi utes! They saved my day. The empanadas were a hit at work! They were delicious! I bought chicken, beef and cheese! They’re affordable too! Gracias! 🙏🏽 I’ll be buying from here again.“

“Amazing! First time here, first time eating Ecuadorian food and everything got an A+. From the rice to the soup to the breading on seafood… was not expecting it to be that good. Service was also great, our server was thorough and patient when explaining every dish. Will definitely come back!“
