50 Best Latin American Restaurants near South Orange

“We love everything about Miti Miti!“

“I had an amazing experience at this authentic Costa Rican restaurant! The service was excellent, and the main dishes were delicious, especially the famous "Gallo Pinto" (I'm addicted). I highly recommend trying their Tacos Ticos or their Casado. They also have great drink options, including traditional coffee and natural juices.“

“I went here two weeks ago, very good food, I enjoyed my steak a lot, but there are couple things that I will point out, the music definitely must be more loud, you could barely hear anything it created the weird atmosphere since I could hear all what others around me are talking about, second thing they should inform you that the food will take a while go get ready, it definitely was worth it but just the server should be aware to inform us that it will be an hour wait for the food, also you can bring your own bottle of wine which is great!“

“As I sit here at the restaurant I am thinking to myself: How on earth did I demolish this Pollo a la Brasa sandwich?? When it arrived it intimidated me. It looked delicious, but there was no way I'd finish THAT. I was WRONG. The flavors were out of this world. So unique, juicy, and flavorful ASF! This has joined my top 3 Chicken sandwiches easily! Kudos to this Peruvian Sandwicheria...10 out of 10! If you haven't tried it, I suggest you do so! Lovely spot. Reminds me of the places I frequent in The Lower East Side NYC. Good tunes in the background.“

“Excelente comida, fui un día por que andaba cerca pero ahora aunque esté largo busco hacer ruta por ahí. Muy buena comida y excelente servicio.“

“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.“

“Great food, great service!“

“La comida es muy deliciosa,fresca,“

“I went for dinner and decided to try the Wednesday special menu, and it was a total hit! Everything was fresh, perfectly cooked, and had that classic touch everyone loves. Very worth it for the price. We were taken care of by Tony, who provided us with truly special service from the very beginning“

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

“I've eaten at this restaurant once in person and a few times via DoorDash. This is some of the best Latino food outside of your abuela's kitchen. The first time I visited, I was in Bloomfield and this restaurant had a great rating so my GF and I stopped by. It was empty mid-afternoon on a Friday. The service was great! I believe the server was the owner and chef of the restaurant. He explained everything on the menu that we had questions about.

GF and I
We've had the oxtails, churrasco, black rice, white rice and beans, maduros, tostones and empanadas. Our go to order is the churrasco. The food is amazing. Everything is cooked and seasoned nicely. The ingredients are fresh. I truly don't have a complaint.
You can tell that someone who has studied Latino cuisine is the chef.

The last few times I've gone to pick up my order at the restaurant, it's been empty. I'm sure they get tons of delivery orders but it would be great for more in person activity!

Please support local businesses! I don't want this restaurant to close for solely selfish reasons. The last Latin restaurant that we loved closed in Bayonne years ago and it's been hard to find a replacement.

The bill is $75-77 when we order because we love churrasco. However, there are cheaper options on this menu.“

“Aroma de Cafe is a wonderful spot whether you're stopping in for breakfast or coffee with friends. I ordered the Colombian breakfast with scrambled eggs, arepa, and fresh cheese, plus a cappuccino that was perfectly made. Everything tasted fresh and homemade. The bakery case was full of tempting pastries, the staff was welcoming, and the cozy atmosphere made it easy to relax.“

“Such a great place with a beautiful atmosphere and great food. The owner Alberto makes you feel at home. We will definitely be back.“

“great service,just grest in venetal.👍“

“I was in Newark for out of town work and was searching for a new lace to get lunch around me. After reading many dismal reviews for other places, I found Oscar’s. I got the breaded chicken plate with yellow rice. The chicken was excellent and the breading was nice and crispy & seasoned well. It was on top of the rice, beans, macaroni salad and lettuce/tomato/onions. All was very good and filling. I would eat here again.“

“Authentic Dominican food, you get a lot of food for the value, and the staff is lovely and very helpful. There is a big selection of food options. We liked everything we had, I especially liked the avocado salad.

They have all the available food on display, cafeteria style, but they serve at the tables and the food is hot when it arrives. They have plenty of tables and free parking in front.“

“The food was extremely flavorful and delicious. If I am back in NJ I will come back for sure.
As a vegetarian I got served a meal that had meat in it. It was a large order so I don't fully fault them. I'm sure if I had ordered on my own they would have said something.

Vegetarian options: Not much for vegetarians and my rice ended up having meat in it. It was a large order so I don't fully blame them“
