Latin American Restaurants near Ridgewood

“Love this local Ecuadorian restaurant! Friendly service and GREAT food. 🇪🇨
I always get a bunch of empanadas: Beef, cheese, chicken, they’re all scrumptious and you must indulge with their green sauce that’s got a good kick to it.
Pastries? 🥐 I love their guava cheese danish or whatever it’s called. Give them a try if you’re in the area! 👍“

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

“Hangs down. This is one of the best Spanish food restaurants in the neighborhood. The place looks like a hole in the wall, but don't sleep on the rotisserie chicken with the tostones with the garlic source. It will have u thinking next time I'll get the whole chicken. The rice and beans complimented. Let's get back to the hole-in-the-wall part, this place has been here for more than twenty years. Don't let that fool you or stop you. Four places have popped up around this place. And they all suck. Sorry. Great atmosphere, but shitty food. This place fire.“

“Food was delicious and service was very good too. I usually only go out to eat at the Colombian restaurants I am accustom to go to but today I wanted to try this Ecuadorian restaurant and I’m happy to say that I was happily impressed that the food was exactly what I was expecting. Very good!“

“Ok so The Newsroom is an amazing place. The atmosphere was everything. Perfect lighting. Dim lights and the art work make the place standout. I highly recommend this place. The food was very very tasteful. From the presentation to how quickly it arrived amazed me. The staff were so professional and pleasant. The drinks for happy hour were affordable and well prepared. I can’t say anything bad about this place.“

“Great date night restaurant! Cozy and romantic 💕“

“Gorgeous ambiance! They have lovely decor and you can tell that they had a great interior designer. Service was great. Our waitress Manuela was really nice and very knowledgeable about the menu and was kind enough to provide several suggestions. All staff were very professional and helpful. Drinks were very tasty, especially the “electríco!”. I loved the presentation. The chicharron tapas were the best chicharron I ever had—perfectly crispy, juicy and tender without being dry or too fatty. The garlic shrimp saffron tapa with the tostones were amazing—I’d come back just for that. As for the mains—the chicken was good, a little overpriced in my opinion, as it was regular chicken with no special marinade and was a little dry. I asked for my steak to be medium well but it was definitely under, and was red, chewy and a little tough with no seasoning. The saving grace was the delicious chimichurri sauce it came with and the yummy shisito peppers. Overall, I still recommend and plan to come back. Next time I plan on trying more tapas and possibly the whole fried fish entree! Check this place out.“
