50 Best Latin American Restaurants near Secaucus

“It was a pleasant surprise to find this place. The atmosphere was very nice and well-decorated, with a bar option (that's a plus). The food was good quality and had big portions. The service was friendly and very helpful. The only negative aspect is that the prices on the menu are not updated, even though it is in electronic format (tablet), and there is no notice advising about price changes. This, in my opinion, would be nice and give a better impression of honesty and transparency. In other words, keep in mind that the final bill will be higher than your calculations.“

“great people and music. if you want a quiet place , stay home 🏡“

“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.“

“I ride hard for this restaurant because not only is the food delicious and well priced, but it is one of increasingly few restaurants in the area (or even the city...) where you can sit down at 10:30 or 11:00pm and have a full meal without being rushed. This has become a vestige of old New York because people have started eating so early since covid. Drives me crazy. Thank god for Tabare. It's also super cozy and dark, great for small groups or a date.“

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

“It’s because of Brahim, the incredible food, drinks, and ambiance that I’m happy to give five stars. Even though my friend and I waited 15 minutes before we finally flagged a server to come to our table, it was so quickly made up by Brahim’s service, charm, and attention. Clearly there must have been a miscommunication regarding who was servicing our table because once Brahim took over, we had our food in drinks in a matter of a few MINUTES! Not to mention, kindness, charm, and attentiveness. It’s such a vibe with the tropical decor, and the food was so delicious. I will be coming back!“

“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!“

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

“Best experience ever, the food was prepared from a chef that loves cooking and knows how Peruvian food has to taste.

The waitress was attentive, polite, friendly and managed our order very well.

The place was clean and welcoming.

We came by recommendation also from their social media page that posted about this place.

We drove around an hour and a half to this wonderful place and we will definitely coming back.“

“I’ve been following Titi’s for a while now and finally made my way to the store let me tell you it was so worth driving through traffic.

I ordered the oxtail ( so good make sure you use the juice )

I also ordered the chicken and cheese ( use the hot sauce) so good 10/10

I also ordered the cuben sandwich so good I wanted another one

Last thing I got was the cheesecake and guava I wish I would had ordered two.

This is a great place to visit the staff is friendly and welcoming I’ll be back for more.“

“The food was very flavorful and delicious!“

“Highly recommend Molkajete Restaurant and Bar. Nicely decorated, this Latin American cuisine restaurant has a very inviting, family friendly atmosphere. The food is delicious, and the service is exceptional. I've dined here two times and am very happy with my choice on both occasions. They offer catering as well.“

“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“

“One of my favorite places now to eat Latino food now in NYC!!!! Visited mast week and had the Frito Mixto and ate every single yuca they had!!! Everything tasted fresh and hand made. Also got the rice and beans with the black pepper beef and chicharrón. My favorite was the black pepper beef. Was so soft and tender. The chicharrón was good but had a lot of fat (chicharrón always has fat lol) for me. The parts of meat were actually really good. For drinks we got the Pandan and it was delicious. Definitely one of the best drinks I’ve had in a while. Will surely pass and eat at this place if around!!! Btw they had Karaoke too if interested!“

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

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

“This is my favorite place in the entire neighborhood! The service is wonderful, it’s small and intimate, feels like a real gem. It’s got a relaxed non-pretentious atmosphere. I come here on a whim OFTEN. Their signature drink Canelazo is the BEST cocktail i think i’ve ever tasted from anywhere, I crave it frequently, there’s just nothing like it. It’s unique and sexy, ugh, this place is a HIT HIT HIT.“

“Hoy primera ves conocimos el restaurante y sali muy contenta de allí, sintiéndome como en mi país, y más con la atención de la chica,muy amable e amorosa 100% recomendable..“

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

“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 .“

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

“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!“

“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 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. ❤️“

“This was the perfect venue for our friend's retirement celebration. The staff handled our group with ease, and the food exceeded everyone's expectations. Pablo, our server, was the highlight of the night—his dedication and attention to detail made the occasion feel even more special. I will certainly be recommending this spot to others looking for great food and friendly service. The owner was also very kind and personable I believe his name was Robert.“

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

“I would've given it 5 Stars because we had a great time with the fabulous DJ spins. Fun! I had arroz con pollo which was very good and had the coconut flan which did not taste the coconut and want as good as I would think. We had an issue with the waitresses way of attending the table. Not friendly at all and tried to charge us $16 for a drink that stayed $14 on the menu. I thought it was an error until she said that drink has 4 liquors,. I explained that it didn't matter if there were 10 liquors in the drink, when your menu states differently that's what you charge. Hope the manager or owner has a talk with her to be friendlier. Also no coffee which is weird being that it's Latin.“

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

“My wife and I stumbled upon Sofrito Latino for dinner after a place we were looking to go to was closed for the evening.

We had an amazing dinner where my wife had the red snapper, and I had their signature pork dish with some sides. It was delicious and satisfying, and the service was great too!“

“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.“

“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 am a regular customer and I must say the food is always consistent the love and dedication that chef put each day is remarkable. The price is reasonable and the server is amazing and professional . Thank you chef for all the amazing meal you make for me and my son .“

“Excellent service and food“

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

“Great atmosphere and service!!“

“This place caught my eye while I was searching on Google looking for lunch while passing through Brooklyn. I’m really glad I decided to stop here. The food was delicious and, most importantly, healthy. I was especially impressed by the 1/4 chicken with rice and cauliflower meal — affordable, fresh, tasty, and healthy above all. I’ll definitely be stopping by whenever I’m in the area to try the steak option.“

“Gracias a Los hermanos coffe exelente servicio y comida deliciosa 100% recomendado“

“My favorite restaurant in the city . The service is top tier drinks are strong and cheap. Atmosphere is great . Food can be a little slow but for the price during happy hour it can not be beat anywhere else. I recommend this place to everyone“

“The service was absolutely amazing. I felt like I was vip. The food was incredible. We destroyed every menu item. Every dish we ordered was delicious but if I were to rate each dish it would go: 1.pork belly sandwich, 2.the mofongo, 3.empandas and 4.tacos. Amazing atmosphere here, such a cute place. Would most definitely come back when I have the munchies.“

“The whole red snapper and coconut“

“Great service good food 👍🥝“

“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“
