17 Best Latin American Restaurants near Pasadena

“Wow!!!! This place is spectacular. There is everything. They have any Salvadoran snack here. The owner, Mrs. Rosa, is a sweetheart!!! He's so kind. He has a charisma that not all people usually have. The customer service she provides is quality. It makes you feel welcome every time. How he treats his employees in front of customers, I loved it. I had gone at that time before because they had told me that they sold Millefeuille. Millefeuille is my weakness. She took the time to take my phone number and let me know when the millefeuille would arrive. Today he called me and told me that they had arrived!!! I am super happy with the service and her. I recommend this store 100%!!!
Countrymen visit this store!!!!“

“The food is very delicious, a young lady who has worked there for many years is very friendly. I don't know if she still works there. I have a hard time not going, the bad thing is the long wait... if they took orders by phone it would be a lot of good for the business and for the client.“

“Went to drive thru very Friendly“

“It is my first time at Taqueria La Mexican. We ordered to go so I can't rate the atmosphere. The Quesabirria tacos were great, and reasonably priced. I'll have to go back and try their other food. The only bad thing is the food is so good, they will run out of Birria.“

“Pocho Frito con Tajadas. Muy Rico. Pidan que su salsa la pogan separada y no en el pollo o tajadas. If you want to eat something different. Its near Mason Park and Ingrando Park.“

“La barbacoa de cabeza está riquísima, todo lo q he comprado ahí es de excelente calidad y las chicas bien amables. Súper recomendada ♥️♥️“

“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!“

“My husband and I came for dinner and really enjoyed the atmosphere. The food was fresh and delicious, and the best thing was that the bartender Jaqueline Gutierrez served us in such a helpful way and made us have a pleasant time. We were delighted and of course we consider returning again♥️✨“

“My father and I had gone to this restaurant after one of my orchestra concerts and I really enjoyed it. I got the bistek ranchero (steak ranchero) and it was really delicious. The sauce was just right, not too salty nor was it bland. My dad got the Jalisco plate and he enjoyed it as well. Me and my father tried each other's plates, they were both flavorful and enjoyable. The drinks are also really nice, they offer a variety of “aguas.” I personally love their lemonade and their agua de piña. The service is incredibly good, the people are very nice and they check up on you every 10-15 minutes which I find to be good service. They are people too and they also have a little laugh with you here and there which I really enjoy. The atmosphere is okay, there is TV’s where you can watch soccer, baseball, etc. Not many things to look at but overall the restaurant looks nice and clean. I will definitely be coming back to this restaurant, the food and everything else about it is enjoyable and nice.“

“Les recomiendo al 💯 TAKERIA AY JALISCO 💯💯💯💯“

“Just tried their Quesobirria tacos, and I love them 😋
The plate comes with 4 tacos for $10.99!! I had to get it and was not disappointed 😆
I wish I could have taken a picture of how it looked, but I ate it all 🤭
I will definitely come back for more 💯“

“Great place to eat awesome shrimp tortas!!!“

“La comida es muy buena y sabrosa, me recuerda los sabores de mi pueblo, las tortillas ni se diga, tienen el autentico sabor de las nuestras y los precios muy comodos. El asado de puerco, el chicharron en salsa verde y todo esta muy sabroso. Le doy un 10 de calificacion.“

“They catered my grandsons wedding and the food was the best Mexican food I've ever had. I would highly recommend them for any occasion.“

“Buena barbacoa 100% recomendada“
