Latin American Restaurants near Paramus

“This is my go to place when I have a large group to entertain. Our server was great and very professional but very personable as well. I ordered a coconut mojito and it was literally a glass of ice with a drop of coconut and a sugar stick that had seen better days. I told our server it was terrible and I got another one it was still awful and I couldn't drink it. It was very disappointing since I've had them before and they were good. Our food was great and we celebrated my friend's birthday with a special dessert . They need a new bartender those drinks were terrible! I shouldn't had to pay for those drinks but I was charged anyway. I'll have to think twice about going back“

“Precio muy Comodo rasonable el Sabor muy Rico Lo recomiendo 100%“

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

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

“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.“

“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.“

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

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

“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.“

“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 ?“

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

“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!“

“Great service good food 👍🥝“

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

“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!“

“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…“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“I absolutely love this place I work in the same building as the daughter of this restaurant and she is a bright and shining star of a person the mother and the cook of the restaurant is beautiful wonderful personality and makes great food I recommend this restaurant to anybody who's looking for a home feeling fresh food fulfilling and tasteful restaurant Gourmet Express is one of my favorite restaurants you guys are the best“

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

“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.“

“The food was great it really reminds me of my moms cooking! The restaurant is decorated beautifully and really reminds me of DR. The service was also amazing all of the restaurant staff were so kind looking forward to trying more food here :)“

“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.“

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

“It was a slight language barrier cuz I don't really speak much Spanish but the food was amazing. I had the Dominican breakfast and everything was fresh and clean. The cashiers at the front were really sweet and nice and made great suggestions. My plate was $10 and had mongo, fried egg, fried cheese and salami. I ate twice from the same plate. Breakfast and they're back for lunch again. The food was absolutely a generous portions and tasty“

“Yummy yummy.Great for when you forget to take the meal your wife cook for you to work.They have pineapples watermelons and other fruits on the go perfect for when you're just done with the gym.They also do catering which is on point plenty to choose from and they'll make whatever you want.I definitely recommend this place it's great for people like me that don't have time to make a meal so instead of eating boring McDonald's and all that other garbage around that area stop by check them out and if you like home cook meals then this is the spot. You're in and out within 10 minutes tops. You tried the rest now try the best. Always love to support small businesses especially that put time and energy into their meals and don't do small portions like most places you will get a lot of meat for your buck. I'd like to let you people know that I honestly enjoyed the food you guys cooked and always recommend them to my friends I am usually in Lodi so I take a drive down to Hackensack just so I can get the delicious meals that they prepare. I know I may be boring but my favorite one is chicken franchise "chicken with lemon" ?It is on point and I feel like I could eat that 100 times a day LOL. All right enough of me rambling just wanted to let you guys know that this is Justin certified“

“very good food and reasonable prices“

“Delicious Peruvian and Chinese food. The service is very attentive.“

“I have been coming here for a awhile. Definitely will keep going back.“

“Our family loves coming here! the food is always delicious and the staff are incredibly friendly!!“

“The food was very good. Our table ordered a sampling platter and everything on it was delicious. I also ordered a pollo monfango which was very filling and satisfying. However, despite the good food we were really the only people in the restaurant and our wait for our food was over an hour. We were a party of 5 which may have contributed to it, though.“

“We ordered carnita tacos and the presentation was very good, although the meat was a little too salty, you could eat it, the atmosphere is like a bar where you can go to talk with friends but it is also familiar. In conclusion it is nothing wow but it is not the worst either so you can pass on the customer service is good.“

“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!“

“ARUBA LOUNGE 🤘🏻 5 ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 🍺🍾“

“It actually met my food expectations and when I entered it made me feel at home, especially because of my Chapina people at heart. The only thing I didn't like and this goes to the owner, we ordered some chuchitos and with a plastic fork, the soft drinks in plastic and with a plastic straw, please compatriots, let's cut down on plastic, we are not comfortable and even less lazy, let's help the planet and Reduce plastic, it helps the restaurant look a little taller and more sustainable.“

“Amazing place I’ve been eating there for 11 years!! Their staff is ever so kind to everyone. Food is affordable and delicious. The restaurant is in a good location near tons of apartments so it’s good to order food and good to go down there and dine!! 110% recommend food is fresh and cultural.kid friendly towards being treated and also with the food portions

Kid-friendliness: I’ve went there when I was really little not once have I ever gotten food I haven’t loved I used to go in there confident in what I wanted to get and the portions were just small enough for me to eat with barley and left overs“

“love love , Nothing but Family .....“

“Just noticed this place a few weeks ago in passing, and I must say, it's worth the stop. As soon as I walked in, I recognized that it was a family orientated business, which I thought was great!!! The food was and still continues to be phenomenal ? I am certainly going back, and I recommend everyone stop in for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Chow??“

“I come to Galapagos specifically to eat their Bolón de Verde Mixto y Pinto. Mixto means it has chicharrón and cheese, Pinto means they use a sweeter plantain. It's not traditional, but I love eating it here. With the Bolón, I like to order the encurtido salad with an egg on the side and black coffee. I usually pay about $15 all together.

Service was great, they were very fast. They also remodeled and it feels very homey and clean. You'll usually just find other Ecuadorian locals here.“

“Ordered a "Casado with Churrasco"The steak was cooked to perfection. Had this with a Russian salad. Nice portion and perfectly seasoned. Thought maybe it was a fluke so went back a second time. Everything was the same...perfect...again. It is an unassuming hole in the wall but wow. Can't wait to try more of the menu though I will be getting that again.“

“On 7/8/24 went to El Conde Restaurant for breakfast, ordered Mangu with 3 Golpes: Eggs, Fried cheese and Longaniza (Dominican sausage) with onions. It was delicious. The mangu was moist and had the perfect consistency. I also ordered a lemonade to go with it. Perfect combo for a hot summer morning. Everything was authentic and fresh.“

“Delicious food. I am notnfrom central America, so, we ask the waitress about some of the dishes. All shebdid was like say the name of the dishes. I can read that, so we asked what are they? She rolled her eyes and walked away passing us off to another waitress to take our order. I ended up having to Google some of the dishes. Wait staff weren't too nice. I guess you must be Guatemalan for them to be nice and all over you, or male for the first waitress to want to help as she was all over other male patrons. That was my only dislike, again the food was very good.“

“I don't go anywhere else for spanish food, the food here is delicious. I take the 25mins drive to be there for this food. The employees are beyond happy and helpful in everyway possible. I tell everyone about this place because it's a small place but the food is big!!“

“Everything is great here!“
