50 Best Latin American Restaurants near Elmont

“La esquisita comida 🥘 mmm“

“Pollos a la Brasa is truly one of our favorite places, and it feels like home every time we go. We’ve known the family that owns it for years, and they are some of the kindest, most genuine people you’ll ever meet. Clarabel is so sweet, and her brother is amazing— they always make you feel welcomed and appreciated.

The food is absolutely fantastic and never disappoints. Our go-to orders are the pulled pork, lemon chicken, yellow rice and beans, and the sopa de mariscos (seafood soup), which is always full of flavor and so comforting. Everything is fresh, well-seasoned, and made with love.

It’s more than just a restaurant—it’s a place run by wonderful people who truly care about their customers. We will always continue to support and recommend Pollos a la Brasa to everyone. Highly recommend!“

“Great food. I had the lunch. It was done, so no waiting. I was happy to hear they will gladly replace the rice for more salad. I asked for chicharrón and they fried it on the spot. I had the soup, which today was sancocho de carne. The beef was like ropa vieja. Great sazón.“

“Stick to breakfast food and you will be fine. Do not order salads and other items in the menu. They make good bagels, waffles, pancakes, eggs, bacon and fries. The pastries and desserts are also really good. Make sure to only order those things.“

“The chicken beans and rice was so delicious! Chicken was tender flavorful & perfectly cooked. Everyone who works here was so kind and attentive. Dominican food as good or better as any i’ve had in the city. Definitely come here before after or during your beach day.“

“Jan 9, 2026 (Friday) : My neighbors invited me to go to this restaurant and try their food since I am a foodie and critic. To my surprised, I was very surprised with their hospitality and their food. My neighbors also surprised me by celebrating my birthday, which took me off hand lol, but I was very happy. The host, owner went around to see how is everything going. What is outstanding they gave us an order not what we requested and did acknowledge right away and replaced and let us have the order at no charge.This is how a business is run , so my hat goes off , I as a business owner. The food was delicious and their drinks were outstanding.Had the following: 1: DomiRiqueno Pastelon, 2: Pork Mofngo 3: Bangkok Calamari 4: Home made Churros. There were other dishes we had as well. The food was blended well and seasoned. I as well as my neighbors enjoyed their excellent cuisine. I like to thank the staff, especially ISAMAL, our waitress for her kindness, and professionalism in making sure we were satisfied with their service and food and special thanks goes out to the Owner Sandra for making sure her staff took care of us and we were satisfied. I definitely will come back again. I normally don’t go to restaurants in The Bronx because their food and service are not up to my standards. I travel a lot and enjoy giving reviews on restaurants. I will definitely ask for the waitress ISAMAL , you will not be disappointed with her kindness and professionalism and a beautiful smile that makes anyone’s day a better day.“

“buen servicio y atención amable“

“Hi I would like to tell you something this is the best food ( Honduras ) ven a este Lugar y no te vas arrepentir“

“Great service thank you to Casandra for taking care of our table. And thank you for security for their great job in letting my son in.“

“I stopped in for lunch yesterday. The staff is friendly & curteous. I had the Carne Asada Burrito with a side of Maduros and glass of Horchata. Everything was super delicious! I'll be back for the Quesa Birria Tacos next! I highly recommend this restaurant. Hey Pedro, great service! I'll give it 6 out of 5 stars!“

“It was my first time trying Empanada Queen, a food truck in Baldwin, and overall, it was a decent experience. They had a deal for 10 empanadas for $28, so I decided to try a variety. I went with shrimp, beef, chicken, and mac and cheese empanadas. The flavors were all pretty tasty, with the shrimp, beef, and chicken being the standouts. However, I wasn’t a fan of the mac and cheese one—it just didn’t have the right texture or flavor I was expecting.

The wait time was short, which was a nice surprise, especially since it was freezing outside! I was glad to have the car to wait in while the food was being prepared.

One thing to note is that the outer shell of the empanadas was quite hard, which made them a bit tough to bite into. On the positive side, the fillings themselves were flavorful. The only other downside was that they only offer one sauce, which had a bit of spice to it. While I didn’t mind it, I wish there were a few more sauce options to choose from.

I'd still recommend it if you're in the area and craving empanadas.“

“Stumbled upon Inka Fé because of their amazing reviews and the food did not disappoint. Not only was the food amazing but the staff was so friendly, patient, and accommodating. My mom and I got the a bunch of food to try because everything sounded and looked so good and everything we ate we would get again. We also ordered desserts that weren’t pictured but were so yummy (passion fruit mousse and chocoflan). Pictured is homemade sangria, shrimp ceviche in tostones cups, bistec al lo Pablo, lomo saltado, chicken wings with ceviche sauce on the side.“

“Delicious tamales. The moment I tried them transported me to Guatemala. It feels like they are made with love!Thank you and may God bless the hands of Mrs. Roxana. ??Tamales at this place are delicious. The moment I tasted them I was immediately imported to Guatemala. God bless the cook ?‍? Roxana ??“

“Es un lugar mágico por que te hace recordar los sabores de tu país ya que sirven comidas típicas tanto ecuatorianas como centro americanas recomendando ven y disfruta con tu familia están ubicados en la 73 Main Street Port Washington NY 11050“

“The food and atmosphere was very good , and there is parking right in front of the restaurant. The woman working there is very helpful, hardworking , and pleasant. The meat portion was very small however, and so lunch felt like it mostly consisted of rice and beans.“

“Chill local spot with a Latina/Hispanic vibe. Local DJ with high energy tunes on a Saturday night.. although not crowded be prepared for "Loud" music. Bartenders attentive and friendly with drinks reasonably priced. $5 regular Coronas.. although they have "Mini Coronas" too. $5 Chicken Empanadas was huge.. and tasty too.. Definitely a local crowd..“

“We had delicious ceviche here! I’m sure it’s the best I’ve ever had. I highly recommend this restaurant.“

“Buen lugar para busca todos los que necesita la comida es bien buena el personaje son bueno estucado @TAXI_ESCOBITA CORP 24/7 sevicio en HEMPSTEAD y UNIONDALE Llámanos 516-476-2095“

“Well where can I start, stopped by to get something to eat after taking an exam near the location. First off the atmosphere is nice with traditional tables and chairs expected, nice Spanish music playing in the background while one enjoys their meal, a wide variety of Juices and a good selection of foods to try personally the ribs were amazing and the fried chicken even though a bit cold was delicious. The place is chill, came to to eat with my father and the pricing wasn't that bad for two huge plates of food, around $50+.

Rating: B+“

“Las pupusas son riquísimas. Solo un detalle! La espera es algo tardadita.“

“muy bueno el pollo frito y el pollo asado“

“This place was awesome! The atmosphere was definitely one for the books. The Margarita flight was sooooo good along with the food. The customer service was definitely top notch. Everyone was smiling and had a positive attitude. Constantly checking in to make sure you're doing okay. 10 Stars, will be returning“

“Honestly I’m confused at the bad reviews. Ordered from here last night. El pastor was great and the pupusas were pretty good (the el pastor was the show stealer though). My friend really liked his chicken quesadilla. The sauce could have a little more going on but not bad. Overall very“

“Cabana in Forest Hills has that lively, island vibe — upbeat music, friendly service, and food that feels like a mini getaway. I ordered the chuleta de cerdo (pork chops) with rice, black beans, and tostones. The sides were delicious — and lucky me, the tostones came with a garlic dip, which I happily used to give my pork chops the extra kick they needed 😉. I was hoping for a bit more Dominican-style flavor from the pork, but overall, a solid spot for good vibes and Latin comfort food done right.“

“📍 Libertad Restaurant — 96-19 Liberty Ave, Ozone Park, NY

Pulled up to this all-day Latin gem serving up Dominican staples, and it did not disappoint. I went for the Stew Beef with Moro de Habichuelas, with one perfectly caramelized Maduro on the side — talk about a combo that hits every note. 🇩🇴✨

To wash it all down? Nothing better than a classic Country Club Frambuesa, that bright Dominican raspberry soda. Sweet, bubbly, and just right.

Couldn’t resist grabbing some Dominican Chicharron with Tostones too, because let’s be honest — Dominican-style chicharron is undefeated. Crispy, juicy, perfection.

This spot is small, with limited seating, but the staff is super welcoming and the menu is loaded with options. Whether you’re grabbing a quick bite or taking your time, Libertad is a solid stop for some real-deal Dominican flavor.
