50 Best Latin American Restaurants near Leonia

“I love this restaurant the food is awesome good service classic Colombian food I love the rice with coconut that is the best rice that I ever had and the soup ajiaco that is the best soup they have. You have to order 20 minutes before you get there it takes a little while but it's worth waiting or call ahead if you're really hungry“

“Amazing experience! We found this speakeasy and is a hidden gem! The ambiance is enchanting, the food is very delicious and the drink are fantastic! Specially the martinis. Our waiter was Maria, she was outstanding , super friendly and accommodating. A must visit for a memorable night out! Ask for Maria if you have a chance!“

“Muy bueno y elegante lugar.“

“Great date night restaurant! Cozy and romantic 💕“

“Gorgeous ambiance! They have lovely decor and you can tell that they had a great interior designer. Service was great. Our waitress Manuela was really nice and very knowledgeable about the menu and was kind enough to provide several suggestions. All staff were very professional and helpful. Drinks were very tasty, especially the “electríco!”. I loved the presentation. The chicharron tapas were the best chicharron I ever had—perfectly crispy, juicy and tender without being dry or too fatty. The garlic shrimp saffron tapa with the tostones were amazing—I’d come back just for that. As for the mains—the chicken was good, a little overpriced in my opinion, as it was regular chicken with no special marinade and was a little dry. I asked for my steak to be medium well but it was definitely under, and was red, chewy and a little tough with no seasoning. The saving grace was the delicious chimichurri sauce it came with and the yummy shisito peppers. Overall, I still recommend and plan to come back. Next time I plan on trying more tapas and possibly the whole fried fish entree! Check this place out.“

“I went to Tozton today to celebrate my birthday after seeing an ad on Tiktok and it was definitely a great decision.

The food was delicious, the sautéed loin, the green noodles, the pavilion, the ground beef cakes and the shredded meat cakes. Natural juices, drinks like margaritas and mojitos; on point, ten out of ten.

The attention of all the waitresses was excellent, they even decorated my table with balloons. Thank you Emily and Natalia for your impeccable service.

It was also easy to find parking near the restaurant. It is very spacious and tables can be organized for large birthday celebrations.

Totally recommended in Astoria.“

“Excelente sazón y CONSISTENCIA en la misma quizás uno de los mejores restaurantes de comida ecuatoriana en los últimos 3 años en la ciudad de New York . Lugar muy limpio, espacioso , baños impecables, amplio estacionamiento y el sabor de la comida es realmente auténtico , lo único q podría mejorar es la atención un poco caótica y desorganizada pero en general todos los meseros son amables, vayan por ahí no se arrepentirán!“

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

“Recomendado 100%, deliciosa comida“

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

“I’ve been to Mojo multiple times and have never been disappointed by the food, vibes, and service. Tonight we went there for my sister’s birthday and our server, Melissa was phenomenal. She was extremely kind, attentive, and charismatic. When I didn’t realize I left my jacket on the floor, she picked it up and put it on my chair and my sister left her headphones as we were leaving and she went outside to give them to her. She is the best! Next time I come I’ll be sure to ask for her!“

“Delicious food, the tostitos were amazing! Friendly service and beautiful decor. Feels like you're in Miami Beach.

Vegetarian options: Only about 3 vegie dishes, but I'm sure if you ask they can make accomodations“

“We had chiccharones and goat stew. My Dominican friend said it was the best chicchones she ever ate. Another friend said the goat stew was excellent. I really recommend this place for flavorful food. The owner is so nice and made sure everything was good for us.“

“Wahouuu! One of if not the best dining experience in NYC so far! Excellent cuisine, excellent service and the atmosphere of the restaurant is great. I am from France (but live in NY) and it reminds me the trendiest places in Paris! Thank you and go on!!!“

“I had lunch there a couple of weeks ago. The food is really very tasty and has a typically Paraguayan flavor. I don't know how they do it but they do it. I returned the next day to bring some typical and gluten-free products, as well as empanadas. 10 out of 10. It is easily accessible, as it is halfway between Manhattan and Flushing on subway line 7, at the 46th Street-Bliss stop, and from there no more than 300 meters along Greenpoint Av.
The place is cozy and well decorated, and the service is excellent. The icing on the cake is that they now offer very good craft beer from their own brand.

Dietary restrictions: Has gluten free options“

“Excelente lugar deliciosa comida.“

“Oh the best oysters and sociedad latina parties!!“

“A Must-Visit Latin Fusion Experience!

From the moment you walk into Arriba Latin Fusion, you’re greeted with a warm, homely atmosphere that sets the tone for an incredible dining experience. The service is top-notch—kind, attentive, and genuinely welcoming, making you feel like a valued guest.

Now, let’s talk about the food—simply amazing! Each dish bursts with authentic flavors and creative twists. The Truffle Yuca Fries are crispy perfection, with the earthy aroma of truffle taking them to the next level. The Chicharron Picado is a flavor explosion, rich and perfectly seasoned. And those Ropa Vieja Sliders? Absolutely divine, combining tender, savory beef with the perfect soft bun.

The entrées are just as impressive. The Ropa Vieja is tender and packed with flavor, a true homage to this classic dish. The Arroz con Pollo is comforting and full of rich spices, and the Salmon a la Brasa is grilled to perfection—moist, flavorful, and melt-in-your-mouth good.

To top it off, the desserts are a sweet finale. The Flan is silky smooth with a delightful caramel glaze, while the Tres Leches cake is moist, decadent, and absolutely irresistible.

And don’t even get me started on the drinks—they are on point! Perfectly crafted to complement the food, they elevate the entire dining experience.

Arriba Latin Fusion is more than just a meal; it’s a culinary journey. I can't recommend it enough!“

“Nice place my daughter finally convinced me to dine at will return didn’t disappoint“

“We went there for the first time yesterday. Pros: The food was amazing. Loved every bite. I think the Colombian soup was my favorite but honestly everything was delicious. I am a picky eater and I ate everything. The drinks were simply divine. Hats off to the bartender. Just Wow! The server (Borjas) was equally exceptional. He only had 4 days on the job but executed like a pro. He was also funny and just kind. Just one con: The suited host that took a bit to greet us at the door was off. He also sat us at the very front of the restaurant. Mind you it was practically empty and never really filled up. I think that this was due to the holiday weekend. Anyway, he did not give us an option like another host did for a later couple. I also noted in my reservation that this was my fiancé's birthday and requested if anything special could be done. There was no choice of table and no candle in the cake. Usually how many other restaurants would have handled. Anyways, I will definitely go back due to the food, drinks and server but will hope for a better host.“

“Excellent service & very tasty fare!“

“Endroit magnifique, décoré avec beaucoup de goût ! Les plats sont aussi beaux que bons, une cuisine travaillée et raffinée.. Le personnel accueillant et très professionnel ! Nous recommandons largement ! Allez-y les yeux fermés et les papilles ouvertes! 🌺“

“Great authentic cuisine that brings a little bit of Bolivia to the United States. The saltenas are absolutely amazing. The shell was cooked to perfection while the inside was a treat of flavors that was heavenly. The Silpancho had such great flavor. So authentic with the Carne lightly breaded and seasoned with the flavorful Zarza and a beet, carrot and vegetable salsa that complimented the egg and potato. Highly recommend to anyone that wants to experience a little part of Bolivia here in Queens, New York.“

“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“

“A Delightful Evening at María Mulata
My wife and I recently had the pleasure of dining at María Mulata, and it was an experience to remember. From the moment we walked in, we were warmly greeted by Ashley, whose exceptional service made us feel right at home. Her attentiveness and friendly demeanor truly set the tone for the evening.
We started with a bottle of wine, pleasantly surprised to find it cost less than what was listed on the menu—a delightful bonus! The highlight of our meal was undoubtedly the rice, which was out of this world. Each bite was a burst of flavor, perfectly complementing our main dishes.
The ambiance of María Mulata is charming, with a cozy yet vibrant atmosphere that captures the essence of Colombia. The combination of delicious food, excellent service, and a welcoming environment made our dinner truly special. We can’t wait to return and relive this fantastic experience!“

“If you’re looking for an amazing Puerto Rican meal, this is the place to go! The alcapurrias were out of this world! And if you know what good alcapurrias taste like then this is the place to go! The lobster and shrimp mofongo was PHENOMENAL and the spicy crab tostones, Asian fusion, CHEFS KISS! The chipotle mac and cheese was such a delicious start to my meal! Overall, everything was a hit! BEST PUERTO RICAN FOOD I’ve had since I visited Puerto Rico ❤️“

“Excellente comida buenas atenciones me gusto mucho“

“great food, great service.“

“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!“

“The overall experience was just okay. The food was good but the service could have been better. The lady was very disengaged and got our order wrong. The atmosphere was nice and I’m not going to knock the fact that it was a small space. They made good use of the space but I wish they had slightly larger tables for the size of plates that they bring out. The music was at a good volume since I could still carry conversations, which was nice.

I didn’t mind the wait for the food and again it was fine for the price point.

I would recommend and probably go again but for different reasons.“

“Everything on the menu is a must . It’s definitely a Go to spot when you’re in the city nyc !!!“

“Excellent service and food“

“The food is great here! Really home cooked taste. Very reasonable also.“

“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!“

“Second time eating here Food was excellent plenty of flavor super authentic. I had pernil with yuca fries and maduros . Chicken and pork tacos with arroz con gandules and fries.Also had some chicken tacos they were good , husband wasn't feeling the sauce that was on top . But overall taste, portion and price was really great . Its not as fast as the other spots but was worth the little extra time. Will definitely stop by again.“
