50 Best Latin American Restaurants in Houston

“LumbarJust celebrated a birthday and had a fabulous meal and outstanding service--will be back soon--a great Ion location.“

“Husband and i came in on a random Friday for brunch. They have very creative coffee options with the traditional staples as well.

I ordered the Cafe Miel with oat milk. It was fantastic, creamy flavor. For food I got the quiche. It was great, not to egg-y, large potato chunks, and sausage/bacon.

Husband got the chilaquiles with the banana latte iced. Banana flavor wasn't overwhelming with a nice sweetness. The chilaquiles could have used a little more salsa but overall pretty good.

Service is a little more European style but I appreciate being left to enjoy the meal without a whole lot of interruption or feeling like I'm being rushed out.

The owner came by to say hello. They have only been open for 7 months but I hope they stay for a while. They had some baked options we didn't get to sample this time but if we are in the neighborhood we would definitely stop by again.“

“Empanadas were delicious 😋“

“They catered our cy-fair band in Conroe. They came with all the food and it was great! Thanks for supporting our kids! Highly recommend this restaurant.“

“Great place to visit. Owner Edison did a great job at the place. Good food and good ambience“

“Food is fantastic , service and staff are wonderful!!“

“The food does not have Cuban flavor. I had the vaca frita and it had a condiment like curry which was overpowering. The congri was salty and greasy and it didn’t taste good. The croquetas were round and made of pork and cheese, they were not croquetas. The tamal cubano was good and the yuca con mojo. The cafe cortadito was awful made with evaporated milk. Very disappointed. Overall.“

“Great food and service!! 100% recomenddd“

“Great customer service wonderful place to dine great food and drinks“

“I woke up craving Seco’s legendary spinach enchiladas. We are in the middle of a pandemic and I am tired of my cooking so I called in to place an order to go for lunch. Chef Seco answered the phone and said he is sorry but they aren’t open for lunch right now. I said oh darn I’m craving your spinach enchiladas but I’ll call back another time. He said he was there accepting a delivery and would make them for me! I will never forget this and my belly is so happy right now. These enchiladas are to die for. As well as the soups, brunch and everything else. Thank you Chef Seco! On a side note-my family started frequenting Jalapeños regularly when I was about 7 or 8 (I’m 40) and I’ve been ordering the spinach enchiladas since then. I also used to work there in high school as a waitress.“

“Tried El Sol. The food was honestly really good, and the atmosphere itself had potential. My biggest issue was the music choice — I completely respect people’s faith and beliefs, but personally I’d rather enjoy my meal without nonstop church music playing the entire time. It felt a little too forced for a dining experience.

Service was hit or miss depending on who helped you, and they definitely charge for every little extra… even down to the limes. 😅

Overall:
🌮 Food: Great
🎶 Atmosphere: Mixed feelings
💵 Pricing/Add-ons: Be prepared“

“Literally a one stop shop! Everything you need from fresh tortilla to cheese and sauce and much more.
Female business owner and multiple location throughout Houston area.

“Recuerda mi tierra mi bella Guatemala“

“Churrascos offers a delightful dining experience with a blend of delicious food and a welcoming atmosphere. The star of the show was our waiter, Pedro, who provided exceptional service, enhancing our meal with his attentive and friendly demeanor. The menu was filled with tantalizing options, each dish expertly prepared and bursting with flavor. From start to finish, our experience at Churrascos was nothing short of fantastic, and we can't wait to return for another memorable meal.“

“We’ve been wanting to visit Tex-Chick for quite some time. The location is quaint yet huge in culture and flavor. Upon walking in we were greeted with the warmest smile from owners, Marilu & Grace. In a matter of a second I felt that I had transported myself back to my childhood days growing up in Puerto Rico ❤️. Everything we ordered on the daily special brought me so many memories aside from being so fresh, flavorful & delicious. They work so hard so make sure all is cooked fresh and take pride to make sure you’re happy. Please go support our local businesses. We need more Titi Marilus & Grace in Houston. Weeeeepa 🇵🇷“

You can watch a classic movie while dining or just chill at the bar. The drinks are also made with love. This was such a great kick back experience is in the heart of downtown. Loved it!“

“This was the first time I tried this place recommended by my sister. I had the Gordita and it was huge and it was really good. I don’t eat avocados but this was the first I ate it cause it was cut small in the Gordita. I highly recommend trying it. This place is good. 😊“

“Food was amazing , waiter attentive . Great atmosphere . Loved the fried fish dish. The mofongo with chicharron de cerdo was delicious also.“

“Great food, great coffee, great customer service! I will be back if I'm ever in Houston again!“

“This place is a true hidden gem that deserves all the love! From the moment you arrive, you’re greeted with the sweetest smile from the owner—such a kind, humble lady who pours her heart into every homemade recipe. You can taste the love in every sip and bite.

The smoothies, raspas, and aguas frescas are packed with bold, refreshing flavor and served ice-cold in generous portions—perfect for cooling off on a hot day. Their fruit is always fresh and everything is made with care.

There are so many favorites on the menu that it’s honestly hard to choose just one! I’ve been coming here for years, and I still leave wishing they offered more classic refresquería snacks—especially during the summer months.

Also worth mentioning: the place is clean, sometimes a little difficult to find parking during lunch time, but it is handicap accessible. Whether you're stopping by for a quick treat or bringing family along, you’ll feel right at home.

Highly recommend—this spot is a must-try if you're craving something refreshing and made with love!“

“I CANNOT say enough about this place. The food is BEYOND exceptional. Homemade everything. The tamales (although made locally and not in house) they fall apart in the most perfect ways. The best I have ever had (better than Delia’s IYKYK). The churros…OMG they are perfection. The melted high cocoa chocolate was on point! And THANK YOU for making them soft! So tired of overly fried. Empanadas are a must and the edamame was splendid (I had to order 2 because my son ate my entire plate of them). Lovely energy, sweet and attentive staff. Priced right! It is a MUST stop! Can’t wait to return next time in Houston <3“

“Todo , excelente atención y muy rica comida.“

“Delicioso pollo campero Mm“

“This is hands down the best authentic Honduran food around! The pollo frito con tajadas is absolutely delicious, along with every other dish they serve. You won’t be disappointed — everything is packed with flavor and made with care. I highly recommend this food truck — 10 out of 10!“

“(Translated by Google) I loved it, the new administration has managed to build the place, excellent service and delicious food ?, everything Cuban without words, success guys(Original)Me encantó, la nueva administración ha sabido levantar el local , excelente servicio y deliciosa comida ?, todo a lo cubano sin palabras ,éxitos chicos“

“I would also say this is the best pupusas I ever had. Tried so many places and no place can beat their taste. I don't mind driving an hour to get get them when I get the cravens. Because food is fresh and cooked when you order, it does take long. There are only two ladies cooking so I normally call in my order. Ready to go when I get there.“

“Muy buena su comida la persona que atiende súper amable exelente 👍🏻😊“

“great taste and delicious food! highly recommended!“
