49 Best Latin American Restaurants near Staten Island

“I'm from out of town so I was really excited to try some of the local food spots in this area and this place did not disappoint. There was a bit of a language barrier but the staff was very helpful and offered me a menu in English. I ordered the salmon and I also had the spare ribs to go. Listen..... the food was amazing the drinks are very good. The bartender very beautiful and helpful. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for good food. Good music . Overall a great experience. 5 star for sure“

“This place is beyond amazing I found it while waiting for the bus and I became a regular customer. It's one of the best bakery places I've ever been to. I tried so many places but quality wasn't good. They have a big selection at a very reasonable price. Bought 4 cinnamon churro, donut, and a croissant filled with cream with chocolate topping for only $11.98. I can't emphasize how much the quality and cleanliness of the food. I have sensitive stomach but had no issues with this place. They cover everything with plastic.
It's my go to bakery place from now on. Recommend it for any party/ gathering.“

“Amazing food great service! Always so sweet and clean fresh food ! Staff are wonderful“

“I love this place. I stopped here because it piqued my interest. I got the vegetable chaufa with added chicken and a choco bread pudding to go.

Absolutely fresh and delicious. I loved the pink sauce added into the chaufa, it was so sweet and added a nice touch of a different flavor. One employee and asked me how it was and explained how the pink sauce was made.

The place is so warm and cozy and the people that work there are so friendly. One of the workers had given a postal worker a drink for free while they were dropping off the mail. It was such a nice act of kindness that warmed my heart.

I can't wait to go back!“

“Excelente comida, fui un día por que andaba cerca pero ahora aunque esté largo busco hacer ruta por ahí. Muy buena comida y excelente servicio.“

“10/10“

“This place is an absolute hidden gem. The front door is literally located between 2 service bay doors at Sansone Toyota. Don't let the hard to find and unusual location sway you, the journey of discovery is just part of the fun. Once through the door, you take the stairs up to a beautifully maintained cafe oasis. We were going for breakfast and left sad that we had no room left to stay all day and enjoy the lunch buffet. They have a beautiful open kitchen concept where you can see all the fresh food being prepared. The breakfast was excellent with wonderful fresh ingredients and satisfying portion sizes. Don't miss the pupusas, a house specialty. The owner, Rosa, is as sweet as can be and runs the restaurant with various family members. We were staying at the nearby Fairfield Inn due to a flight cancellation at Newark Airport and made the walk over. Not the easiest walk due to a lack of sidewalks in the area, but there is a crosswalk to get across the busy highway. We were able to successfully use our airline food vouchers (come as virtual visa cash cards), so we were pleased with that as well. Rosa's should not be missed if you are in the area!“

“We enjoyed everything about our visit to Latitude Zero. The dishes were beautifully presented, the atmosphere was lively yet relaxing, and the service was top-notch. A complete experience!

cocktails were delicious and we will definitely be back for more.“

“Loved the food, however, the service was not great. Long wait time. This was because they had ppl there who were just hanging out and were constantly talking to the staff! The place is very small and tight. Tables should be reserved for paying customers.“

“Las Esperanza’s Restaurant serves delicious and well prepared Dominican food. I like to order the baked chicken with rice and beans. Sometimes I order a side of yuca (cassava) as an additional side. This makes for a good hearty lunch under 10 dollars.
The service is quick, I generally order to go to be able to eat at Liberty park or at my desk at work.“

“Anyone that says this place isn’t amazing is nuts trust in me go eat be happy and go again I’ve been slowing working through the menu pernil - fire - beef stew - fire - oven chicken - you guessed it fire- rice and beans stay slapping I love when they add the pumpkin if you know you know. Chimi slaps hard and I’m a big fan of the fried sweet plantain they stay sweet and delish. I saw a review about service and have been here now 7 times? I’ve waited twice when busy nothing crazy because food is worth the wait. Anyone steering you away is salty country on your own !“

““Delicious food and great service, compliments to the chef!” 👨‍🍳 🙌🏽👊🔥“

“The ceviche was the star of the show: fresh shrimp in a tangy, citrusy broth, perfectly balanced with onions, tomatoes, and cilantro. It was light, refreshing, and packed with flavor-exactly how Ecuadorian ceviche should be. I loved the traditional sides, especially the plantain chips, which added a great crunch.

The steak was equally impressive. Tender, juicy, and marinated just rightThe classic sides-rice,

What made the night even better was sharing it with someone special. I had an awesome time with my future girlfriend (she just doesn’t know it yet!). Great food, great company, and a truly authentic atmosphere-what more could you ask for?“

“this food was awesome! We will def be back again! Very Fresh food!!“

“I could eat from here every day! Elizabeth was missing an actual GOOD Ecuadorean restaurant.(I’ve tried them all) The prices are great and the food is delicious! They also have daily lunch specials which include soup, entree and drink. Also, staff is so friendly! Love them!“

“OMG THE MEATLOAF WITH MASHED POTATO'S AND GRAVY WITH BREAD AND BUTTER TO DIP IN THE GRAVY. 😋. AND THE FISH CRISPY FRIED FISH WITH MACARONI AND CHEESE. 😋 😋 😋“

“Exceptional customer service and the entrees were superb. Our servers were both excellent, Andres and Vivian and their hunky manager, whose name we did not catch. The drinks were very well made, with nice presentation. My wife, Patricia, had a Coconut Mojito and I had two Lemon Martinis (well blended) refreshing and tasty. Order the Calamari as an appetizer. Our entrees were the salmon and the cheese steak. Everything was prepared with a Columbian flare! Ole! You and a culinary delight.“

“Excelente ambiente, la comida me llevó a recordar mis años vividos en Chile, Las empanadas excelentes Nos hicieron sentir maravillosos“

“The empanadas and the sauces are amazing!!!!“

“Lately, I’ve been having a bad streak with Spanish food.. my last 2 were mediocre and kinds made me lose faith.. a close friend and I saw this spot and he recommended it.. boy was he right! Hands down, best Spanish food I had in a minute. I’d definitely go back! And prices were great.“

“HIGHLY RECOMMEND. Wow what great fresh food . My wife and I were lucky enough to have meet the owner of this amazing place when she was dropping off her food for a large event . After sampling her food we were truly impressed on the quality and flavor of her food . Since then we usually order food weekly. The portions are generous and always full of delicious meals.
