10 Best Latin American Restaurants near Cincinnati

“Delicious arepas that hit the spot! I thoroughly enjoyed the vegetarian stuffed arepa—it was top-notch and full of flavor. My boyfriend had 'the great arepa' and was equally pleased with his choice. Just a heads-up: hold on to your dressings, as they come with an extra charge of a couple of bucks. All in all, a fantastic place to satisfy your arepa cravings!“

“Excellent food ! The Sope s I had were fantastic. My husband’s burrito was exceptional and sauces we’re great too.“

“Food and presentation was top notch! Everything was so fresh and perfectly seasoned. Walked away full but not feeling weighed down. Service was fantastic as was the atmosphere. 5🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 for me!!“

“We wandered in here late on a Sunday night from the hotel across the street and heard this place was good (ironically from the Ramen place that had run out of noodles). They had run out of ingredients for the Cuban sandwich my hubby had wanted and the guy was super apologetic. We decided to share the Who Dey bowl--delicious!--and even gave us a free beef empanada to make up for the Cubano. Super kind and really great service. Highly recommend!“

“Everything was fresh and delicious, but the birria ramen was the star of the show! So good!!“

“Rays the best he made our night“

“Highly recommended, family owned Guatemalan restaurant! I have been here a few times for carry out but dined in the other day and the service was excellent. They have tamales available. We got the chicken tamales to go. Try the atole de elote (warm corn drink with cinnamon and spices); it will warm and nourish you on a cold day. The carne asada was well cooked and comes with rice, pasta salad and refried beans. You can choose either tamalitos or tortillas de maseca, as an accompaniment to your dish. Pepian de gallina was very tasty and the chicken was perfectly cooked. Make sure to add some of the salsa to your food. It adds an extra level of flavor. The friendly, attentive service and delicious food makes this a place to return.“

“Delicious empanadas and sweet plantains. I miss them from back home and it is better than I remember each time I try it! Would highly recommend!“

“Best Empanadas we’ve ever had! We even ordered some shipped home before we left! Must try you won’t be disappointed!“

“I had the pleasure of trying the Jerk Chicken Quesadilla from Shango’s Urban Taqueria at The Gatherall at Factory 52, and wow – this was one of the most delicious things I’ve ever eaten! The smoked jerk chicken combined with pico, fire-roasted corn, and melty chihuahua cheese, all topped with their amazing DRIP Sauce, made for an unforgettable flavor experience.

On top of the incredible food, the service was fast, friendly, and truly accommodating. Shango’s is a gem that I can’t recommend enough, both for the food and the wonderful service. If you’re in the area, don’t miss it!“
