39 Best Latin American Restaurants in Dallas

“I was here yesterday 8/16/24. It was my first time I wanted something light for lunch and this came up. I was happy to see a Latino restaurant in downtown Dallas. I ordered the two empanadas special for lunch. I ordered a beef steak I believe and another type of meat kale salad, but I had to return it because it had brown kale leaves going bad. Be careful so I replaced it with cilantro rice it was delicious a bit hot but yummy, when I tasted the empanadas I couldn’t really tell the difference the flavors from each one. I was expecting them both to be different because of the meat and the spices they use. I enjoy the spicy salsa versus chimichurri. Chimichurri was a bit sick for me. I was expecting it to be a little bit oily. I had the hibiscus water, but it was a bit too sweet for my taste, but I would definitely come back hibiscus water, but it was a bit too sweet for my taste, but I would definitely come back and get one empanada for a light snack if I’m in the area. I do have to say please fix your AC because it was too hot yesterday and I feel for the workers in the back. I hope they did have an AC. Blessings“

“I visited Casa Pollastro yesterday and loved it. The service and food were all wonderful. I recommend everyone to visit.“

“Me gusta mucho venir conmi familia todo es muy bueno“

“Love it!! Great service and quiet place“

“La Duni is a Dallas treasure. We had another incredible lunch today and had great conversation with the owners Taco and Dunia. We all had Limonadas con menta to drink. They are the most refreshing, balanced, and tastiest lemonades I’ve ever had. We had the rice salad w/ chicken and a torta cubano with yucca fries. They have the best chimichurri sauce for the fries which they make in-house. You can taste the love and excellence in La Duni’s drinks and food. I highly encourage everyone to have the La Duni experience and support a family who has shared their gifts with the Dallas community for many years.“

“Great food at the new location at Cypress Waters. Terrific hospitality- we enjoyed meeting Miriam herself as she came to greet us. Food is mild but flavorful. My favorite is the pork belly taco I got on the sampler plate. My husband enjoyed the short rib tacos as well. Ample portions as well.“

“Very good lunch. Good friends and new acquaintances“

“Great spot for street tacos!“

“Amazing my favorite place to eat“

“The spot is on the smaller side but the food is amazing top quality especially for the price aswell and the workers are fast and have your food ready to go I recommend you call in first to place your order 10 min ahead of going in since they do make everything fresh and get busy.“

“I had an outstanding experience at Ocho Latin Cuisine. From the moment we arrived, the staff was warm, attentive, and made us feel right at home. The service was exceptional—prompt, professional, and friendly throughout our visit. The food was equally impressive. Every dish was full of authentic flavor, beautifully presented, and clearly made with fresh, high-quality ingredients. The menu offers a fantastic variety that truly showcases the richness of Latin cuisine. Whether you're coming for a casual lunch or a special dinner, Ocho Latin Cuisine delivers a top-notch experience in both food and service. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a memorable and delicious dining experience!“

“Ok. New place to us. Tienda y Restaurante Latino. Josie had tortilla soup and I had Arroz Mixto, kind of a latin take on fried rice with chicken, beef, shrimp and a fish fillet. I thought I tasted soy sauce but the owner said there wasn't. But it had have an oriental taste. The veggies are carrots, corn and onion with the addition of bell peppers and zucchini.The tortilla soup had more of a red broth like pazole or menudo than the usual chicken broth. It also had more actual chicken than Josie was expecting. Portions were such that we will both have another meal from it, though I COULD have eaten all of mine if I stuffed myself. Overall, much better than I thought when we first looked over the menu. Will definitely put this on our list of places to return to.“

“mi amiga es la dueña y es una excelente cocinera!! cocina riquísimo!!!“

“We had a great experience at el Colibrí! From the moment we sat down, the chips and salsa were fresh and flavorful, a perfect start to our meal.

My son ordered the gorditas with rice and beans and absolutely loved them. My husband and I shared the molcajete with carne asada—it came loaded with fajita, grilled chicken breast, sausage, nopales, grilled onions and bell peppers smothered in great tasting salsa. Every bite was delicious.

The rice had amazing fresh flavor, the meats were cooked perfectly with a nice crisp, and the handmade corn tortillas were the best we’ve had in a while.

Overall everything tasted authentic and full of flavor. Definitely a spot we’ll be coming back to.“

“It was our first time there; we chose this place to celebrate our 24th anniversary based on other people's reviews. Our experience was excellent—no wait for a table. Our waiter was super friendly and explained everything (sorry, we didn't catch his name), and one of the managers was super friendly and lovely! We will definitely be back with our friends!“

“Incredible Dining atmosphere, food seasoned to perfection and staff hospitality was unmatched. Definitely a must visit while in Dallas! My girls and I had different dishes to sample one another’s plate! They did not disappoint!!!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“This is one of the best places to go if you like to have a few delicious bites and follow it up with some music, drinks, nightlife dancing with beautiful view of the Dallas downtown skyline, with a latin twists as far as the food and music, it is a unique place in that way, stands out vs other regular restaurant bars. Try the steak fajitas medium term, not your ordinary fajitas, great flavor and quality.“

“🤟🏽🤍 Espumoso caffe 😌☕️ 🌹⭐️ 🥮“

“Service and food are always on point and such a great tasting meal highly recommend“

“I have eaten pupusas and roast beef here and everything is very good. The scrambled chicharrón and cheese pupusas are very delicious. The roast meat is very soft. They have flavored waters to drink and I tried the chia one, very delicious too, the flavor is very similar to hibiscus.

It is highly recommended to go to eat here.“

“Que lugar con tan buen servicio y la comida ni se diga!! Súper recomendable 😉“

“It's def quieter during the later portion of the week than it prob should, but it's def not in part of the food. $1 Tacos if you dine in, and they come with guacamole, salsa, and other toppings complimentary. They have bottle service and a nice setup to keep the party going, with a patio overlooking one of the busy streets on the block!“

“Food never disappoints. Customer service is always perfect (especially if Max is around). I highly recommend this place even if you’re not familiar with Latin cuisine as they have multiple options and bilingual servers. Place is always clean and friendly.“

“Ordered the fajita torta at 830 in the morning. Because I'm not much of a traditional egg breakfast type of guy. And let me tell you the torta was amazing. I paired it with some fries. Everything was so fresh and made to order. I would give this place 10 stars if I could. Thanks.“

“buena comida para mi buen servicio cada q boy solo una recomendación creo q es mejor q sigan usando cubiertos de metal los de plástico no son muy buena obcion“

“I have eaten at this place for the past 25 yrs every once in a while. Today I went again and food was still great. Beans are delicious. Rice is delicious. Chicken was juicy and with good skin.
My childhood staple for pollo asado in Dallas.“

“They have the best dollar tacos in the city for taco Tuesday !!! The atmosphere is amazing and food is very tasty 😋!! Marina our server was very attentive and friendly!! Will come back again !!

Update 5/5 /2026
Service was super duper slow .. tacos took over an hour to arrive to the table. My friends and I were regulars and today on a busy day when you should be staffed fully , it was not. The food was not that great one taco had bones. 🦴 hard pass for me!! My friends left without getting his food.“

“The food was fresh and enjoyable“

“The food is good and everything but the same cannot be said about the Tamales to start with they put a little piece of banana leaf the size of a finger and from there everything is wrapped in aluminum foil I know it's for business and you should save but please yes They add a little piece of banana leaf, it's better not to add anything and regarding the bean tamales, sometimes they are delicious and other times they even smell like lime. Oh, I don't know what they use to make them. I hope you improve that please and for the meals it is good“
