50 Best Latin American Restaurants near Lyndhurst

“I like going here to sit in the front of the building with my son. It’s nice to sit on a busy road and people watch sometimes, while being able to get my son out of the house at the same time. I’ve only ordered a drink and empanada here and they were decent. I’m mostly writing the review because of the owner. He’s such a nice guy was very friendly and kind to me and my son. The sons owner also works here and he’s a nice person as well.“

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

“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.“

“The food here is so delicious I wanted to shout and tell everyone from the top of a mountain. So here I am on Google. You must try the empanadas that comes with the best green sauce. I have very high standards for sweets and I loved everything I tried here. My favorite being the Alfajores. My husband and I had a lovely date night here. The entrees were a perfect combination of fine dining with a whole lot of soul. I want all the success for Libelula.“

“My best friend and I originally went to one place but did not enjoy the vibes there so she found this place. Food was really good (a little too salty but still good). The drinks though..... Good and strong. The bartender was also our waitress and really sweet. Nice chill vibe before 10-10:30pm where it turns into a mini club.“

“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.“

“Hello, its me again, so I need to correct what I wrote before. This time the owner call me and ask me to please give it a 2nd try. They made a mistake and to please considered an new opportunity. That means a lot to me, I'm a business owner and I can see his interests to makeup what was wrong. I give you my respect sir. Because you care about the clients opinions and want to do better.
Thank you for reaching out to us and ask us to reconsider the mistake. I'll visit you with my company crew. Keep the good work sir. We can always make a difference.“

“Good food excellent service .Great job Juan Carlos“

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

“This was my second visit and the place is tastefully decorated and my server was great. Overall, the food was prepared well but it would have tasted better with the addition of salt. Even though tonight's dinner didn't meet my full expectations, the restaurant is worth a visit.“

“My weekend go to! The food and service is great. Not to mention Ritzy Bitz is the best hostess. She’s funny, beautiful, and talented.“

“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.“

“Came here with friends. There was a very refreshing seafood appetizer, the sauce was perfect. We used that for the lamb sliders. Shrimp with spicy sauce also excellent

The steak and fries were cooked well (medium rare) but pretty standard. Had another fish dish with avocado sauce that was excellent. Lasagna was a bit hardier.

Coconut cake and churros were both great“

“This is one of my favorite places to eat in HK and also hang. Great late night vibe. Open 24 hours.“

“Like all Guayacans, we like to eat delicious food and plenty of it. This time I ordered delivery and I ordered to try the flag and it was a delight. I loved it. I recommend it. It comes quite a bit and it was all warm. It came out for 2 people and quite a bit as you can see in the image. Unfortunately it cost me about $30 with shipping but it's worth it ?congratulations ?“

“Highly Recommended!! Especially for large parties! Went with a group of 20. We had the back room all to ourselves!! Which included our own bathroom and backyard space! It felt like a private party as we were able to get up and mingle with one another without bothering other diners. The food was excellent and the service was even better !!! Thank you for everything ISHMEL !!!“

“We went on a Friday night. It was quiet. Seemed like mostly family dining. Definitely feels like a nice family owned, neighborhood restaurant. The food was absolutely delicious. We had the garlic shrimp appetizer and for our entrees we had the churrasco and fried pork chop. The chimichurri sauce that came with the steak was so good I could probably drink it! I thought the prices were reasonable for the portion sizes. Will definitely be back!“

“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.“

“Stopped in today - I am not sure if it is on the menu but they were very nice and made me a breakfast burrito - it was excellent (so hard to find a good one or any breakfast burrito in the area) and the hot sauce that came with it was also amazing - I will be coming back to try more items.“

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

“great pupusas delicious shakes“

“Nice place and luxury, see you soon again“

“Ricky is an angel. I destroyed this shrimp curry. The food is pure comfort. Amazing. Much love from Bay Street Greenery!!! PS—bring us business cards/flyers/etc., we would love to support you!

Dietary restrictions: I appreciate Ricky accommodating my Celiac Disease and making me gluten free shrimp curry! (As always though, anyone with celiac or any food allergy should use their own discretion when ordering out.)“

“Melhor lanche brasileiro da região“

“I’m from South Carolina Greenville to be exact and omg this place is the best you want a Columbian Hispanic type vibe this is it they are so friendly the women that work here are so nice omg they can’t really speak a little bit of English but all you need is a translator on your phone you’ll be good! Listen to me you want some good fresh food this is the spot! Ima African American woman born and raised in the south I love traveling tasting new food I love it. My first time in New Jersey I fell in love! My first appetizer was octopus it was a little bit spicy listen if you’re not into spicy food don’t get it .. I loved it!!!!! Omg the drink I forgot what it’s called but it’s like 3 shots in it! Get it !!!! I got shrimp tacos as well 10/10 !!!!“

“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…“

“buena atención y menú bariado“

“The $12 daily lunch special is a fantastic deal! According to my waiter they are under new management as of last week. I was in town, visiting from Morris County to see the nearby Labor Museum. I loved the rice, chicken, and plantain most, they were delicious. Please be cautious however because there is a 15% tip automatically applied, and they do offer a lot of extras like drinks and stuff to see if you're interested. Nevertheless I really enjoyed the place. I think would make a good first date type restaurant, or out with the family, and I felt comforrable eating alone at the bar. Although it was empty when I came on a Saturday afternoon.

Kid-friendliness: If I recall correctly, there was a kids' part of the menu.“

“very good food and reasonable prices“

“AMAZING FOOD!! Never had any complaints about the food it’s genuinely one of the best restaurants I’ve ever had !!! So yummy, perfectly seasoned and cooked . However I will say that their service could improve, the ladies sometimes look mean and it’s very fast paced but overall excellent place to eat“

“Good barbecue chicken. I really liked the green sauce they serve on the side made with jalapeño peppers.The french fries were reheated I think but sweet plantains were good . Simple salad with only one dressing on the side . We ordered to pick up because delivery fee was $10.00 .“

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

“This place is deceptively bigger than expected. Decorated nicely with a good amount of simplicity. For eight of us, we got the Peruvian combo and full Jalea platter. It definitely fed all of us with some left over. Unfortunately, the chicken was a bit dry and under seasoned and there wasn't any fish with the Jalea platter. Our server was a bit pushy on getting more pitchers of sangria and tried several times to clear the table while we were still eating (a friend may have snapped a little bit to the server that we're not done after the fourth attempt of clearing the table).“

“Las Casa it’s a small little restaurant that seat about 16 people inside. It did have a few outside seating. It was cozy not over noisy so we were able to have a conversation. We had the Tuesday Lunch special - oxtail and two sides yellow rice and sweet plantains. My friend had the oxtail with white rice and Yuca fries. The food was very good. Portion was decent. I would consider coming back again. Price was also decent. Thank you for a good meal.“

“Very good, would recommend eating there.“

“We recently ordered through Uber Eats and were so impressed, we can’t wait to visit in person!

My husband was craving mofongo and fried fish. We tried the mofongo de chicharrón, which was absolutely amazing, and the mofongo de camarones, which we felt was a bit less flavorful.

My husband mentioned that the shrimp wasn’t mashed into the mofongo, which was a bit different from what he’s used to.

Personally, I love my mofongo with mashed pork and the protein on top, and I thought the mofongo tasted fantastic. The fried fish was also a highlight—well-cleaned, perfectly seasoned, and delicious. We were pleasantly surprised by how good everything was, especially since it had traveled 30 minutes to get to us. Can’t wait to try it fresh in the restaurant! Highly recommend!“

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

“Amazing, u could never go wrong with any mamas empanadas, I been a customer for a while, never fail 2 disappoint, try the whole wheat ones u won't regret it. Me encanta todas las sucursales de mamas empanadas, El Colombian no relaja con su comida. k viva Colombia pues.“

“The food is nothing short of exceptional, with ingredients that are remarkably fresh and flavors that truly stand out. Dining here is always a brilliant choice. The staff exudes positivity and warmth, consistently going above and beyond to ensure a memorable experience. Anna, in particular, is a standout—welcoming, attentive and helpful with explaining the menu and getting the right order. Highly highly recommend !!!“

“good food drinks great prices“

“I should’ve asked prior to ordering the chicken chunks if it were made with chicken breast or dark meat. Unfortunately I thought it was the usual white meat but I was wrong. Other than that the quantity was well served and the food was good. There are certain items that require a few minutes to make out of the menu. The service was well and the location was clean. They have a few outdoor tables.“

“I finished an absolutely amazing day with a meal at this wonderful restaurant. The food was delicious, the service was fast and the portion sizes were unbelievable. I can’t wait to return to enjoy the other menu items. Lomo saltado and won ton soup were the perfect combo last night! ?? Thank you so much ☺️“

“chicken empanadas to start were out of this world! lobster soup and steak were so tasty steak cooked to perfection! staff amazing, so friendly and welcoming especially when they found out we are from Scotland! chatted with lady behind bar, sorry cant remember your name who has visited Scotland many times! fab!“
