50 Best Latin American Restaurants in Brooklyn

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

“Came here on a date night with the wife who is Uruguayan. The provolone was a fantastic starter, reminded me of the one I had during my last visit to Uruguay. In my wife’s 2+ decades in the states I’ve never heard her rant and rave over a chivito the way she did theirs. She said and I quote “this is the best chivito she’s had since being in the USA,” so that should tell you something. I had the Uruguayan Ribeye and I left just the cutting board it came on, nothing was safe. I was hesitant about the Duck fat potatoes because it’s not something I haven’t tried, but they were perfect. The ribeye was to die for, I wanted more. Dessert was just as good too. My wife loved the flan, and I’ll take her word because all flan is bad to me. The Alfajor was so damn good. It was different than the traditional one I’m used to eating, but fantastic nonetheless. We will definitely be returning, and telling everyone we know to travel to Brooklyn to give this place a try.“

“The coconut-ginger rice is amazing! Aside from the good food, the service is impeccable. Everyone has great energy and is so attentive, especially Atillah (I hope I spelled her name correctly). She always goes out of her way to acknowledge and ask me about my day, and that really goes a long way. Pleasee go check them out!“

“Great little spot! Visited when there was a block party happening. It was great to sit and enjoy some great empanadas and morir sonando and music in the background.

I had the vegan empanada with lentil and another with onions and mushrooms. Highly recommend!“

“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.“

“The food was very flavorful and delicious!“

“Had the most amazing time here! Enjoyed a dinner with friends, and tried a bit of everything. Food & drinks were superb, the people working there are super lovely & their backyard is wonderful, especially on a warm summer night. Highly recommend this place! Thanks Ade, we’ll be back very soon! ᵕ̈“

“I came to this restaurant for the first time and randomly ordered two dishes. To my surprise, the taste was excellent—really delicious—and I liked it a lot. The prices were reasonable, and the owner was very friendly. I highly recommend everyone try this place.“

“The staff, particularly Wendy, couldn’t be more lovely. Wendy tends to my 2 year old grandson which such sweetness! Above and beyond great service. ❤️“

“Excelente ambiente, comida, happy hour 12-7 pm cheap drinks and appetizers“

“My wife and I came here for dinner tonight, and we had an amazing experience from start to finish. The food was absolutely delicious, the drinks were just as impressive, and the atmosphere had such a great vibe.

I had the Caipirinha, and my wife ordered the Passion Fruit Lychee Martini—both were fantastic and made perfectly.

The highlight of our visit was our bartender, Ricardo. He was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and made us feel welcome from the moment we sat down. He took the time to explain the menu, gave great recommendations, and his service really elevated the entire experience.

It’s not often you find a place where the food, drinks, service, and atmosphere all come together this well. We’ll definitely be back, and we’ll be recommending Guarapo Latin Fusion to our friends and family. Thank you, Ricardo, for making our night such a great one!“

“The food gets 5 out of 5. It was simply delicious, and we have nothing but good things to say about it. I had the T-bone steak, while my girlfriend had the filet mignon, and both were truly, truly delicious.

The ambiance gets 2 out of 5. It simply wasn't our cup of tea. The restaurant was dimly lit with neon lights, which, in our opinion, didn't pair particularly well with the atmosphere we would expect from a a place where the food should be the main attraction. Also, the music was very loud and we had to ask for it to be lowered.

As for the service, our waitress gets 1.5 out of 5. She was friendly, but we felt that she was quite unprofessional, both in the way she was dressed and in her overall behavior and level of service. She brought us our food but never checked on us afterward, and we actually had to get our own steak knife. There was also what appeared to be a friend of hers, or possibly another staff member, sitting two tables away from us. They spent much of the time chatting, and honestly, it gave us the impression that they were doing us a favor by serving us rather than making us feel welcome as customers.

The bar was also an issue. The phone kept ringing with an extremely loud ringtone, which was quite disruptive. Later, when we wanted dessert, we decided to have coffee instead. We ordered two cappuccinos, and our waitress simply smiled and said no, without giving us any explanation as to why. This was particularly confusing because there was a large coffee machine right inside the restaurant.

Overall, the food was superb, and it's really the main reason we would consider coming back. Unfortunately, the service was lacking, and that's what is making us hesitate about returning. It's a shame, because the quality of the food was excellent, but the overall experience left us somewhat disappointed.“

“Good food and coffee and friendly staff👍👍👍👍👍“

“Went to this restaurant for first time in July for a birthday celebration. Nice large restaurant, great artwork displays. The food was good; the tostones appetizers could use more seasoning, tasted bland. great portions, had to take rest of meal home. The staff displayed good customer service. Overall, a very nice find for Latin cuisine in downtown Brooklyn.“

“Pablo Santo just catered our daughter's wedding. This food is THE BEST, Most flavorful and perfectly prepared food! The ceviche was tasty without being too tart. The Wild Boar was tender, with a perfectly balanced gravy. All raged over the plantain stew! Personally the rabbit mole was to die for! Perfectly prepared meals, with quick attentive service! Most HIGHLY recommend! Thanks Chef and staff!! You were all superb!“

“After researching where to find great pancakes, Colina Cuervo kept coming up, and they absolutely did not disappoint. The pancakes were fluffy, delicious, and honestly some of the best I've had. Every bite was wonderful. They came with an amazing dulce de leche sauce and syrup that made them even more irresistible.
Alex, who took my order, was incredibly kind and greeted me with a beautiful smile. The entire atmosphere felt warm and welcoming, and I truly believe the warmth of a place says a lot about the food being served. Everything felt made with care.
If you're looking for perfect pancakes and a cozy, inviting environment, I highly recommend Colina Cuervo.“

OMG. Best mojito I’ve ever made. IT WAS SO GOOD. I’m still thinking about it as I write this. Only came in for 1x drink because I had an activity with a friend in the area. I definitely want to come back and will be in my rotation moving forward. Wish it wasn’t so far from other places in Williamsburg, but highly recommend!“

“The whole red snapper and coconut“

“I got there food right before the closing time and lemme tell you, it was SO SO GOOD!The flavors are amazing and the food's always piping hot and the portion was generous!I only discovered it through TooGoodToGo but now that I realized that this place is such a gem, I'd be coming back for more :) and help support local businesses.“

“I've been coming to Immanuel Restaurant for a long time, and it never disappoints! The food is always fresh, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. Every meal is prepared with care, and the quality is consistently excellent. The staff is welcoming, and the service makes you feel right at home. If you're looking for amazing food and a place you can keep coming back to, I highly recommend Emmanuel Restaurant. Five stars every time!“

“Best tamales ever! Great service! My family love everything !“

“A quaint cozy place. Good food and drinks and great service. My friend has been there before and recommended it. I’ll definitely recommend it myself and return.“

“1st gen kid here, grew up eating my moms my whole life until I moved away and this takes me back. Caldo De Res is the truth.

Has such an authentic and home cooked taste to it, could not recommend enough especially with the weather.

The Caldo—which was generously portioned—and one drink from the fridge ran me $17, for today’s world, not bad! Will be back for sure to try other Guatemalan staples.“

“I haven’t had pupusas since I went to El Salvador a few months ago, so I was extremely happy when I stumbled upon this place. The pupusas were crispy but still soft and the filling was so delicious! I will definitely be coming back!“

“El mejor restaurante Hondureño en Brooklyn, con una atmósfera agradable para toda la familia. Los platillos son súper deliciosos y de porción grandes. Las sopas de marisco y de caracol no tienen comparación. Se los recomiendo!“

“It is an excellent place, good food, good prices, the staff is friendly and serves quickly, the place is clean, safe to eat and hang out. I recommend it. It seems like a good place. I have eaten there for years and it has always been a restaurant that I like to return to.

Vegetarian options: It is not a restaurant focused on vegetarian food but they sell salads, juices and a person who does not eat meat can still enjoy a good meal.

Kid-friendliness: It is a clean, quiet place, the staff is friendly and polite and the restaurant in my opinion does not represent any risk for a minor.

Wheelchair accessibility: They have a ramp so that a person in a wheelchair or other device that supports walking has the accessibility of being able to enter the premises without major difficulties.“

“Great food! Fun hip atmosphere! drinks were amazing!“

“I walked into Buck-It for a couple drinks of water and walked out questioning my career choices. I was shaking my BUTT all night, Oggie had the whole place feeling like one big party, and now I’m considering applying for a job because apparently I live here now. 10/10 would Buck-It again.“

“Food was delicious, we had ordered takeout and stepped outside to wait. They actually brought the food out to us when it was ready early. I think it was 5 minutes flat for 2 entrees and an appetizer. A+ service A+ delicious food. Will have to visit again“

“Williamsburg has recently gained a remarkable addition, offering an extensive array of dining options under one roof.
