50 Best Latin American Restaurants near Prospect Park

“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 love that's it's most likely family owned as we own a family owned business also. We love to give our business to small local businesses. We ordered the chicken and rice and beans and it was well seasoned and cooked. Very tasty. We will definitely be back to try another item off the menu.“

“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.“

“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!!“

“LOVE it here! my favorite place to eat in all of Fairlawn, possibly my favorite cafe period. phenomenal service & excellent dishes, the desayuno mexicano is my ideal plate here, queso fresco of my dreams! ❤️“

“Definitely recommend checking out this place! Booked a reservation for Tuesday night just in case it was packed. Arrived, and was glad that I made the reservation. This place was PACKED, which is a good sign if it's a packed house on a random, rainy, Tuesday night.“

“Amazing food and super friendly service.“

“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.“

“The food at this restaurant is definitely always a delight! It is a journey to many memories of what it is to eat homemade food made with love. For people who miss our countries this is the place where you can feel at home. Excellent service.“

“Excellent birria tacos; the best I’ve had, and I’ve tried a lot. Beef was extremely flavorful and juicy. Consume also very well flavored. I also tried Al pastor, carnitas, and chorizo tacos. They were all extremely juicy and flavorful, with crispy corn tortillas. The green sauce and spicy orange sauce were excellent. Beans and rice - fantastic. I will definitely be back. The flavors on display here beat out anything similar I’ve had in recent memory. I’m a food snob and I wholeheartedly approve 😅“

“Home-cooked meal and just like at home service! Have been stopping here occasionally on my drive home to satisfy my dominican cravings or when i’m too tired to cook. The food is great and the selection allows for something for each of my picky family members ! Not only is the food delicious and the service oh so friendly, but it is definitely priced right ! Sure to please, Master Kitchen is worth your while.“

“Buen atención Muy bien todo“

“When we lived nearby, my family and I would frequently visit this eatery. We now make an effort to visit this restaurant at least once when we are all in New Jersey. The cuisine is classic Dominican goodness. I love the stew chicken, roast chicken, ribs, chicken and pigeon peas and red beans. All are delicious. My Mom loves the octopus salad.“

“Tienen rica comida y batidos a cualquier hora pero la picada no está buena. Tiene muchas papas francesas no tiene chicharrón. No tiene rellena. Y esta muy cara por unos pocos pedazos de pollo y carne!! They have good food and drinks at any time. However la picada is over price for some pieces of meat and chicken and lots of French fries. It’s missing pork (chicharrón) and Colombian sushi (rellena).“

“Best authentic Spanish food in town! The chicharon is soooooooo good and crispy. The empanadas are deadass the biggest and best I ever had. I order from here all the time but try to get it early because there always super busy. Never had a bad experience here and the staff is always on point. Friendly and always looking to go the extra mile when it comes to preparing your order. ❤️Keep up the amazing work guys ??“

“Google Maps steered us here because we were looking for pierogis--but this is actually a Colombian restaurant. Food smelled pretty good and it seemed cozy but we just came for the bag of frozen potato and cheese pierogis they sell, possibly through some arrangement with a Polish landlord? We cooked these at home and they were definitely hand made, tasted homemade and delicious and substantial and quite inexpensive. A somewhat absurd experience. Only in America.“

“lo mejor de lo mejor cocinan buenísimo“

“Great selection and great quality.“

“I love just about every empanada I've tried.
I live in Pennsylvania and my family lives a few blocks from the restaurant.
Every time I'm in town I bring a dozen home with me.
I even pick up some for my friends at home.
The Cuban seems like their favorite. Mine also.
Keep up the great work.“

“It is a very nice restaurant, clean, not so big, with plenty of parking. The music is varied, on Thursday they had Karaoke in English and Spanish. They have Hooka service, the staff in general is very friendly. The prices at Happy Hour are high.“
