Latin American Restaurants near Palisades Park

“This is genuinely good Guatemalan food. We had the beef soup and ordered steak also but the portions of meat in the soup was so generous we didn’t even get too the steaks so we took them home. Service was very friendly and accommodating and the atmosphere was very informal. Some guys were watching soccer on the big screen tv and others were sitting alone, no one bothered anyone. I’m definitely going back for that soup as the winter sets in harder.

Parking: It’s general street parking with meters I believe are only active on weekdays“

“What a great little Latin restaurant in town. Stopped in for lunch with a buddy and we were greeted by a girl with a beautiful smile who didn't speak a word of English. Using the magic of social media and yelp we communicated very well and ordered steak tacos and pupusas. The food was delicious and we had a fantastic meal.The restaurant has about 10 tables and a great menu to choose from.Thank you to our waitress for taking a great care of us.“

“Recently went and although the food and waiter staff were great, we were expecting what we seen on here. There was no performances. An empty space. Apparently there's a 2 hr gap between brunch and dinner. The booking site allowed for a 4pm reservation. When we arrived we were accommodated but looked at funny. We found out that brunch had ended at 3pm. I was really hoping for the full experience I seen here and paid alot and didn't get it.“

“Un ambiente super divertido y familiar 🗽🍾🇺🇸🎆“

“Absolutely beautiful small cozy restaurant with amazing food and great service. Special thank you to the bartender, I ordered 3 different coctails and asked for no syrup or sugar and they were made perfect to my taste. Roasted beet salad is to die for, octopus amazing and the skirt stake is something to come back for.“

“Muy bueno y elegante lugar.“

“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!“

“Everything was delicious! The shredded beef patacón, chaulafan, and salchipapas were all excellent. Gabriela provided amazing service and made sure every detail was perfect. The $6 prosecco and $15 cocktails were a great bonus. Highly recommend!“

“Good food excellent service .Great job Juan Carlos“

“The food was delicious. The menu was a little confusing because, during dinner service, some dishes did not come with a side. Usually, most orders include rice or vegetables, so that was unexpected and the drinks could have been better for the price“

“Great food and drinks Great atmosphere. Professional staff.“

“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“

“This place is everything a restaurant needs…
I tried to walk in, and was packed, but that made me want to come back two days later with my friend Brian, who actually recommended it to me.

Again packed thank god we had a reservation, tight space but is exactly what makes it special, we had a table but we decided to sit a the bar because it had a more fun vibe, Josue the bartender greeted us very warm and friendly.
This was our order
The michelada 10/10
The canelazo 10/10
Tiki martini 9/10
Ceviche 8/10
Chanchito 10/10

I asked Josue what else should I order and he mentioned the yapingacho,
And this i would never think it was going to be as good as it was because of the ingredients but believe me it works

Yapingacho 11/10

We ended singing and claping, the music selection was amazing, everyone around was having a great experience!!

If you are around or are thinking on coming by, do your self a favor and stop by.“

“Delicious food and great service“

“Great atmosphere and service!!“

“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!“

“Cute spot in the East Village to get a small bite or a coffee. I dropped in on a cold Winter day to get a warm empanada , which was a good idea . I ordered the Papa Con Queso (potatoes and cheese ) which they have to fry up fresh for you (other empanada are not fried.) There are cosy places to sit and several different sauces on the table (i liked the green herb one.) Staff are nice and the empanada was like $3.50. It was crispy and tasty - a nice snack if you're in the area .“

“This is a great location. Nora took very good care of me and my husband and then I found one of my friends from another location. His name is Ricardo. He works at the bar. The food was delicious. We had Bandeja paisa and we had a Mofongo with Camaron is the best combination between Colombia and Puerto Rico please, and take a look at this place. The ambience is gorgeous. It’s in Williamsburg. You must come and try it.“

“We always enjoy the food and drinks here. Luisa was a great waitress and we had a nice time there. The chicken champignon (mushroom sauce) was delicious and loaded with mushrooms. Great classic margaritas for under $10 with lunch. ❤️“

“So I came here for my birthday dinner and at first I did not want to eat there since I thought it will be a party vibe, but the lounge area wasn’t open. Which I get it since it was a Wednesday. But the Chef did not want us to leave disappointed, he did it all (Champagne, birthday sign, food, shots) all at a discounted price. & let me tell u the food did not disappoint. It was delicious! I was overwhelmed with his generosity. He really made my night special. And something I will always remember. Keep Being the kind person u are Wilmer. Good things will definitely come to u. I will be back. THANKS AGAIN!“

“excelent colombian food thanks“

“The vibe is electric. Great drinks, food & staff. Fun place to watch the game. I'll be back.“

“I came here thinking I was going to have a modest, run of the mill quick lunch and instead I found a delicious feast in this small, pristine, uplifting atmosphere with the friendliest service and fine festive food that immediately gave a lift to my long work day! The young counter girl from Medellin that doubled as a server was as cheery and as helpful as can be. I ordered the Bandeja Paisa to get a nice melange of all that Colombia has to offer and I haven't had Colombian food this good since I was in Colombia! It was presented so delicately detailed that it was a feast for the eyes as well as the senses. I could barely finish it when the lovely hostess offered me a selection of fruity empanadas for dessert which I had to have boxed up and had my mango empanada for a delicious breakfast the next morning. See photos. Coming back here for sure!“

“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 was walking in the door in the rain with a dress code violation. The host wanted us to correct the issue but Jay the manager explained why the dress code was necessary and let us in anyway. From the moment we sat until the sparklers came out congratulating our anniversary at around 10pm it was an unparalleled experience of delicious food and next-level service. Thank you Don Coqui for a truly wonderful experience, its nice to know there are still restaurants that take serve and quality seriously.“

“The food was great, I had a torta that I didn’t know I needed in my life. My
Mini me had carnitas, she said “papa, these are the best carnitas I’ve ever had.” And the folks behind the counter are awesome!“

“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.“

“Three different excellent entrees preceded by the freshest guacamole 🥑. Outstanding dinner and very professional service.“

“is an absolute privilege for any business to get a review from me, but @krunchycueritos 🐷 left me no choice! I had to adventure all the way to Uptown Manhattan🗽on a rumor, fully prepared to be disappointed. Plot twist: the chicharrón is spectacular. 🤩 Meaty, crisp, and so good I ate it straight up with lime 🍋‍🟩 and hot sauce🌶️. Great service, spectacular flavor! Who else loves chicharrón? Have you guys been here? 👇“

“Very comfy atmosphere and friendly hosting.“

“First time eating Bolivian food and it was out of this world! Saltenas were rich, juicy, and hearty (start at one end) and the Sopa de Mani is not at all what I expected peanut soup to taste like. think of Rich complex New England clam chowder without the clams. really no peanutty taste at all. the owner was wonderful as well“

“I love it here! Good food, great drinks. Great staff!🥳“

“I came here for my birthday! I had such a great time! The drinks were really good! The food was very very delicious. The cake on top of the icing was the customer service, Luis was our waiter and I cannot emphasize enough on how amazing he was! I will absolutely be back again, great staff, great music, great food. Overall just a nice place to go grab a bite, drinks, birthday or relax. You won’t regret coming here!“

“Great restaurant, food drink, service. They have the best Canelazos in cold weather.“

“Huge portions of some of the most flavorful food I ever had. It was sooo good!!!! That rice with every meat in it plus avocado & plantain maduro 🤤 I can’t wait to have it again😋 definitely recommend!!!“
