50 Best Latin American Restaurants near Mt Vernon

“Great food, good people. Unlike a previous reviewer stated, they did not close because the food was unsafe, the building is not safe due to a fire (not sure how that person didn't notice). Hopefully they come back soon and the building doesn't end up like most fire damaged places in Mount Vernon.“

“A Delightful Evening at María Mulata
My wife and I recently had the pleasure of dining at María Mulata, and it was an experience to remember. From the moment we walked in, we were warmly greeted by Ashley, whose exceptional service made us feel right at home. Her attentiveness and friendly demeanor truly set the tone for the evening.
We started with a bottle of wine, pleasantly surprised to find it cost less than what was listed on the menu—a delightful bonus! The highlight of our meal was undoubtedly the rice, which was out of this world. Each bite was a burst of flavor, perfectly complementing our main dishes.
The ambiance of María Mulata is charming, with a cozy yet vibrant atmosphere that captures the essence of Colombia. The combination of delicious food, excellent service, and a welcoming environment made our dinner truly special. We can’t wait to return and relive this fantastic experience!“

“If you’re looking for an amazing Puerto Rican meal, this is the place to go! The alcapurrias were out of this world! And if you know what good alcapurrias taste like then this is the place to go! The lobster and shrimp mofongo was PHENOMENAL and the spicy crab tostones, Asian fusion, CHEFS KISS! The chipotle mac and cheese was such a delicious start to my meal! Overall, everything was a hit! BEST PUERTO RICAN FOOD I’ve had since I visited Puerto Rico ❤️“

“Excellente comida buenas atenciones me gusto mucho“

“Absolutely stellar experience at Mirabella's Latina Cocina! The carne asada was perfection—tender, juicy, and bursting with flavor. Their handcrafted margaritas were a delightful treat, perfectly balanced and refreshing. Arturo, the proprietor, brought a special touch to the evening with his charming Latin hospitality, making us feel truly welcomed and appreciated. To top it all off, the tres leches dessert was the best I've ever had, a sweet ending to a fantastic meal. Get there soon before this hidden gem in West Chester becomes too popular—it's the best-kept secret around!“

“The overall experience was just okay. The food was good but the service could have been better. The lady was very disengaged and got our order wrong. The atmosphere was nice and I’m not going to knock the fact that it was a small space. They made good use of the space but I wish they had slightly larger tables for the size of plates that they bring out. The music was at a good volume since I could still carry conversations, which was nice.

I didn’t mind the wait for the food and again it was fine for the price point.

I would recommend and probably go again but for different reasons.“

“To the Team of LA Roja de todos restaurantv& Bakery The staff and Pablo were awesome from the first call to the moment I walked in to eat. I also had you prepare a variety of Empanadas of course 😉 they were delicious 😋 my daughters event was a hit !!! Pablo... thank you! thank you to you all.... much love ..... Grace Asencio“

“I loved this place, I was there with some friends and we decided to sit at the bar, it was the best decision since the bartender Ronie gave us extraordinary attention, he was very helpful, and super pleasant, we had a great time, we plan to return soon, the atmosphere is also great, highly recommended“

“Love this place. Is on the $“

“The food is great here! Really home cooked taste. Very reasonable also.“

“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.“

“Been waiting for a local Peruvian spot for a while and this place just absolutely delivered!! Been here a few times with my family and each time there’s laughs and smiles from wall to wall. The ambiance brings me back home to Peru and for a brief moment in time i feel as though im back home!!! Everything from the Ceviche to Andean nights cocktail is a treat! The entrees are to die for and the quality is impeccable. Would highly recommend if you love good food and good energy ????“

“We ordered menu
Day and we tried 3 options! Stewed liver, stewed chicken and grilled chicken and we really liked it a lot! The divine beans, the ripe ones and the chicken soup, not to mention! Very affordable price and good service!! We also ordered bonus bread and the cheese ball, both DIVINE 10/10.. we ordered some meat, chicken and cheese empanadas, but I'll stick with the bonus bread 🤭!! The spicy sauce (be careful) is very spicy, but tasty!! The divine juices, it's special soursop and blackberry!!
I went with my service dog and there were no problems and I liked it because where I am well received with him I am happy and if the place is that tasty even more so! Thank you we will return ☺️☺️“

“The food is nothing short of exceptional, with ingredients that are remarkably fresh and flavors that truly stand out. Dining here is always a brilliant choice. The staff exudes positivity and warmth, consistently going above and beyond to ensure a memorable experience. Anna, in particular, is a standout—welcoming, attentive and helpful with explaining the menu and getting the right order. Highly highly recommend !!!“

“Amazing place I’ve been eating there for 11 years!! Their staff is ever so kind to everyone. Food is affordable and delicious. The restaurant is in a good location near tons of apartments so it’s good to order food and good to go down there and dine!! 110% recommend food is fresh and cultural.kid friendly towards being treated and also with the food portions

Kid-friendliness: I’ve went there when I was really little not once have I ever gotten food I haven’t loved I used to go in there confident in what I wanted to get and the portions were just small enough for me to eat with barley and left overs“

“Cute, quaint place to go! Music was good. Went for dinner and drinks with my sister. I had the monfongo with steak and she had the red snapper. Both tasty and both a good choice! Dessert was pretty tasty as well. We chose the lava cake. Drinks were ok,but dinner was better .“

“Excelente comida me encanta“

“Best tres leches in the world so soft & well made that you can really enjoy the flavors! The cake itself is Delicious I been a big fan of this tres leches for many years now & wouldn't change it for no other.“

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

“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.“

“Literally one the tastiest places I’ve been in NYC and I’ve been plenty of times and have had a lot of food. The potion size was amazing and the flavors were on point. I still think of the rice to this day! Most certainly a must try.“

“muy buena atención y rica comida“

“Ive been on a journey to dine in family owned restaurants and avoid big chains. I’m so glad we found this spot today! Its homey and cozy - service is great and the food was delicious! We ordered: Lomo, chicken, chaufa, ceviche and flan. Prices were fair and I can’t wait to come back here. I hope this neighborhood appreciates the flavors because I don’t have this near my apartment.“

“This is it—Sazon Stizzy is the spot you’ve been looking for! If you’re driving past 238th St in the Bronx, do yourself a favor and stop here. Trust me, you’ll regret it if you don’t.

From the moment you sit down, the magic begins. The inviting aroma of the food immediately hits you, and any worries you had seem to melt away as your cravings take over. But it’s when you actually get to taste the food that the real experience starts. Boom—a flavor explosion like nothing you’ve ever had before!

The flavors here are incredible and intense, a true testament to the care and passion that goes into every dish. Whether you’re trying something new or sticking with a favorite, every bite is packed with seasoning and spices that dance on your palate. Be careful, though—this food is so good, it might just send you into flavor shock!

Sazon Stizzy isn’t just a place to eat; it’s a place to savor, to enjoy, and to experience something truly special. If you’re in the area, don’t miss out on this gem. Your taste buds will thank you!“

“A true authentic Dominican experience. This is the closest flavors to the food I grew up with, compared to what I've had at home and from visiting family in Dominican Republic. No gate-keeping! I want to make sure they get all the love and recognition they deserve. What incredible food, the options rotate daily, they don't have a menu. Not even sure if they have a phone, so just pop in and get your fix! The lady working the counter is incredibly sweet and you can tell cares for her patrons and the community.

Sin duda una de la mejores comida Dominicana en el alto Manhattan, y son bien amable.“

“By chance we went there last night and had an excellent meal, and an enjoyable time. My wife had a large plate of carne assada with fried plantains that were to die for. I had the popular shrimp tacos, very tasty and filling. It is a small place but very pleasant, and Daniela was most helpful and charming.
We will definitely go there again! Thank you.“

“Lady Black Flower And Popcorn 🤘🏾The Service Was Amazing 🤩“

“Beans and rice, what more could you need? Lunch special $10 / update: meats are too salty, overpowers the taste of the food

“best food, great atmosphere“

“Delicious Peruvian and Chinese food. The service is very attentive.“

“Stopped here while running errands and I had the best lentejas ever! I do realize it was later in the day on a Monday so I’m not holding them to a high standard, but the food was good the service was good and the atmosphere was ok. Some random ppl kept walking in and out but other than that ? solid food if you want Dominican home cooked type of meal.“

“👍 perfect........................“

“The food was very good. Our table ordered a sampling platter and everything on it was delicious. I also ordered a pollo monfango which was very filling and satisfying. However, despite the good food we were really the only people in the restaurant and our wait for our food was over an hour. We were a party of 5 which may have contributed to it, though.“

“I was not allowed to make my reservation. The security guard prevented me from going in. I was there for over 3 hours with my sister, who drove from PA just to enjoy a night out with me. I called Sammy because the online number goes straight to voicemail. Now, he does not answer. I was promised better accommodations for the next event. I book tickets for the comedy show on Tuesday. There are no available tables. If I don't get one, I plan to cancel.“

“I liked that restaurant because we went to celebrate our daughter's birthday and we asked if they could sing the birthday and they said yes and they surprised us with a cake without thinking, that's why I say that the service was very good.“

“Good atmosphere, good music, excellent service and great food. We were 4 people and we ordered 8 beers, 4 crowns, 4 models and different dishes, seafood paella, salmon fillet, toxic mofongo and churrasco, we also ordered a combo to take away and we didn't spend more than 250, definitely the place I'm going to eat when I return to the Bronx,❤️“

“La buena comida y la excelente ubicación“
