12 Best Latin American Restaurants near Albany

“Excellent food! It was so hard to choose something on the menu because it all sounded good.“

“Food was absolutely AMAZING. Got the chicken tacos, beef steak empanada, and they gave me a tres leches on the house (def add the strawberry). Super friendly staff and the prices are more than fair“

“Just in case you love Ecuadorian🇪🇨 food, and particularly encebollado, and don't know about the best spot to get this perfect bowl of seafood & onion soup, Encebollados "El Idolo" on Madison Ave across from Washington Park is an absolute must. Bar none one of the best bowls of encebollado I've ever had here or in Ecuador proper, and this is the only restaurant my Ecuadorian family expresses any interest in eating at/ordering from for any occasions where we get the chance to eat outside food. I'm sure the other food is also excellent, but as the name indicates, encebollado is their expertise, and they make an incredible bowl, with quick service. They have all the Ecuadorian sodas as well, and ají at every table, with all the fixings for a traditional bowl, and it always hits the spot. It is a generous portion that I am never able to finish, and incredibly fresh.

Ecuadorian food deserves to get its shine around here with the vast and wonderful growing community of Ecuadorian folks living in the Capital Region, and Encebollado El Idolo is a shining beacon of exemplary traditional eats. If you have room for dessert, make sure you take a little walk across the street and get yourself a slice of tres leches or some pan dulce from Daisies!!

I am personally overjoyed to see the culinary cultural renaissance taking place in our area; no longer do we have to drive down to the city to experience cuisines from so many places globally, now we can taste the world within a 10-20 minute drive, or even walking distance.“

“Amazing food! My favorite place! I always get the chicken empanadas and the roasted pork with rice and beans!❤️❤️“

“Do not skip this place. Parking is easy if you drive around the block. It’s small inside, and take only but this place is the epitome of authentic flavorful Spanish food. The menu is written on a chalk board in English, though You will have to order In Spanish (unless the daughter is there - she speaks English and is really helpful) or you can pull out the google translate app, type in your order, translate it to Spanish and show the employee. It’s so worth it, the food is out of this world. Also check out their other establishment right next door mi casa market! Great addition to the Troy community“
