39 Best Latin American Restaurants in Philadelphia

“I chose to celebrate my birthday with brunch at Mamajuana based off of the social media posts I noticed on IG. Needless to say, it did not disappoint. My birthday brunch experience was amazing. The ambiance and energy were perfect. This is the exact vibe I was going for to celebrate my birthday. The service was great and I tried something different in terms of food which was also tasty. I highly recommend based off of my experience and would definitely return again. Shout out to Judy my hostess/server who was very attentive!“

“It was our first night in Philadelphia and we didn’t want to walk far. Mixto was just a couple blocks from our spot and these place blew us away. We had the Churrasco Colombian and it was amazing, especially the garlic shrimp. Our server, David, also recommended the passion fruit mojito and the Mixto Margarita. David was so attentive and kind. He made the experience even more special. We can’t wait to come back!“

“Creative and fun. If you're seeking a dining experience that has character and different than the norm, Bolo is a good choice. Not so traditional but rooted in fresh Latin ingredients. Good drinks. Care for guests and the food. Philly style - where the food quality comes first. No foams or fancy stuff for no reason. Will be back!“

“I remember porky's point when the original owners had it. My uncle George was one of them. The food at that time was very very good and today the food continues to be excelent.“

“The atmosphere here was nice, the food was good also. The empanadas were really good, the taquitos were okay. Drinks were good too. Overall the menu had a lot of good options to choose from. Seemed like all the staff only spoke Spanish but the service was still very thorough and attentive“

“Ne and my son love their Birrira tacos we tried the place in South Philly and didn't like them so we tried this place fell in love everything was good so we stayed with this place. So I got tacos for my Birthday yesterday and when we started to eat and dip in the consume it tasted funny it was oil it wasn't broth, I was gonna let it go but I was really disappointed I called and told them my issue and they were simply the best the offered to give me a new order but I was already home without a ride so I declined the offer, when I say they called me back 10min later and took my name for a future replacement I was shocked. I think it was really a professional and respectful way to make it right I love this place. If in the area try them out.“

“Let me say: as a local investor in my preferred zip code. I love a quick snack and drink. They have several choices of empanada ranging from crab, shrimp, lamb, beef, steak, chicken with cheese and chicken kabobs. Fresh squeezed juice. I love my yuca and fries.
My daughter loves their empanadas so much. Come support our locals in the heart of Kensington.“

“Everything was wonderful for my Birthday. Service was really on point.“

“My family loved the food. We ordered four pupusas with beans and cheese, four more of those with cheese and loroco, guacamole, and maduros. The generous portions made it enough for two adults and two little kids, and we had leftovers too! My only complaint is that they only have their stuffed plantains available in the morning.“

Waiting time: considerable

The food is definitely very enjoyable. The waters are too sweet for my taste but the food is totally recommended ?? oh I forgot to mention that they charge extra for lemons“

“Excelente manera de aprender a preparar platos!“

“Food is always good, reasonably priced. Portion size on point and place consistently clean. Only had 1 time where I was thrown back that for salmon, it increased that platter cost to $18. Other than that, I will continue to order from this place. Street parking could be a hit or miss.“

“Excelente atendimento do funcionário Noel 🤩🤩“

“Food was fantastic and the order was on time for the requested pick up, I even got a call back to confirm my order was ready. I didn't get platters this time, I ordered everything a la carte, by the pound. We got Pernil, chicharron, tostones, arroz con gandules, stewed beef, guineo, beans, and white rice with extra gravy. Online ordering was also a breeze, the layout was straight forward and very intuitive. It gave you options and even a small section for special requests. Definitely one of my new favorite spots to drop in to for a hearty meal. I'll be back again to try the rest of the menu and looking forward to grabbing some pastelillos.“
