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“

“Amazing food. One of the best burritos I've ever had. I got the birria one. And the salsa that came with the chips was really good. I wish they had fountain drinks though. Really good food. The prices are really good too. I got the burrito, a bottle of soda and a large horchatta for $20.“

“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♥️✨“

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

“The service is very fast and efficient. The food is very good. The menudo is traditional from Jalisco. The only problem is the bathrooms. I been a customer for 2 years and the bathrooms are always dirty and without toilet paper. They should also install dividers between the urinals. It is not very pleasant to wash your hands. I also don't think it would be difficult to erase or paint over an obscene sign that is 2 years old or more. But everything else is very good.“

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

“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.“

“Whether you dash your food or dine in, the food is absolutely delicious ?!!! My favorite are the pupusas (all of them, fajita, revuelta, been and cheese). The platano frito and frijoles with crema is also super tasty!! The ambience at Rio Lempa is like sitting at a little restaurant in El Salvador with all of the Salvadorean brands and items. The drinks are also little taste of El Salvador with traditional aguas. Love this place! Everyone that I've ordered pupusas for, loves them too, and get turned onto their food. Definitely try it out! You will be amazed.“

“Great tacos for only $2.50 each! They come with 2 tortillas, pico de gallo and salsas come in the small containers. They didn’t have limes, so I was bummed, but the tacos had great flavor. The fajita one was my favorite and had a little bit of a charred taste. The barbacoa one was more like shredded beef - good flavor but a little dry. They both tasted great regardless. Went at 11am and there was a 10 minute wait once I ordered. The service could’ve been a bit better, I was asking questions but they seemed impatient for me to order and kept their responses short. There wasn’t a lot of parking space and just keep in mind it’s next to a bar and neighborhood houses.“

“Had a positive experience here. The food is amazing and they are open 24hrs! It's really convenient. The cashier did a great job dealing with a rude yt entitled customer as well. It was great to see. Our friend who just came to visit from out of state said it was the best burger they ever had, and i loved my barbacoa taco. The tortilla de maiz was pretty bomb. The quesadilla my sis had was also good.“

“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.“

“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.“

“I went on a weekend for dinner. Shocked at the menu prices ($18-$24) but then when the service was excellent - drink was always filled before running out, chips and salsa refilled too w/o asking for more, the meal was high quality made and presented (not microwaved) and HUGE proportions = leftovers to take home. You get what you pay for and more! I was very pleased and impressed.
Another time I went during their weekly lunch specials and the service was just as great and the smaller portions are perfect for the lower price lunch specials.
If you crave non-texmex-taste freshly made food, I highly recommend Papagayos behind BK on Scarsdale for budget friendly lunch specials with high end quality or splurge a little more for dinner and be wowed like I was. Amazing staff from front to back.“
