50 Best Latin American Restaurants near Long Island City

“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!“

“Their empanadas are HUGE! The chicken empanada was the tastiest I have ever had and inexpensive. Its 1.50 for a massive empanada- see how large it is relative to my thumb!
The service was really nice too and the shop is warm and cozy with delicious smells.
Im already craving more…..“

“Kudos to employee "PEDRO".... He is my go to person when I am ordering my food. He is friendly and always greet you with a smile. And he always make sure my order is correct and to my liking. The food is very good and is reasonably priced. Keep up the good work Pedro.
From your most admirable customer. Ms Betty“

“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.“

“Muy bueno y elegante lugar.“

“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!“

“Great date night restaurant! Cozy and romantic 💕“

“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.“

“The food was very flavorful and delicious!“

“Recomendado 100%, deliciosa comida“

“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.“

“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.“

“AMAZING delicious latin food drinks are fantastic and service is spectacular!!! If you never try ropa vieja thats my favorite dish there but everything in that menu is sooo flavorful and delicious 🤤 also it’s a very nice ambiance and good music 🎶“

“The food was delicious. The menu was a little confusing because, during dinner service, some dishes did not come with a side. Usually, most orders include rice or vegetables, so that was unexpected and the drinks could have been better for the price“

“Endroit magnifique, décoré avec beaucoup de goût ! Les plats sont aussi beaux que bons, une cuisine travaillée et raffinée.. Le personnel accueillant et très professionnel ! Nous recommandons largement ! Allez-y les yeux fermés et les papilles ouvertes! 🌺“

“This place is everything a restaurant needs…
I tried to walk in, and was packed, but that made me want to come back two days later with my friend Brian, who actually recommended it to me.

Again packed thank god we had a reservation, tight space but is exactly what makes it special, we had a table but we decided to sit a the bar because it had a more fun vibe, Josue the bartender greeted us very warm and friendly.
This was our order
The michelada 10/10
The canelazo 10/10
Tiki martini 9/10
Ceviche 8/10
Chanchito 10/10

I asked Josue what else should I order and he mentioned the yapingacho,
And this i would never think it was going to be as good as it was because of the ingredients but believe me it works

Yapingacho 11/10

We ended singing and claping, the music selection was amazing, everyone around was having a great experience!!

If you are around or are thinking on coming by, do your self a favor and stop by.“

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

“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“

“Delicious food and great service“

“Everything on the menu is a must . It’s definitely a Go to spot when you’re in the city nyc !!!“

“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 .“

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

“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. ❤️“

“Nice place my daughter finally convinced me to dine at will return didn’t disappoint“

“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.“

“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!
