38 Best Latin American Restaurants in Tampa

“Great service and food. Large selection of entrees.“

“Danny's Coffee & Friends is a delightful Latin cafe tucked away in a commercial park. The place is small and charming, the menu is hugeeee, and you can tell the owner puts all her love into the food and her customers. The prices are fabulous as Cuban breakfasts usually are, and food/coffee comes out super quickly (coffee almost immediately, food within 10 minutes). Their cafe con leche is legit and everything tastes homemade. The Cuban bread was a bit soggy but I dip it in my coffee anyway so I don't mind too much. Overall, a really homey and solid spot.“

“We were looking for somewhere to stop for brunch with our 2 year old before we hit the airport—and this is an amazing choice we’re going to be building into every trip to Tampa from here out! The food was amazing (get the sausage), café con leche was lovely, and our daughter was treated like a princess—even sent away with a free cookie. Fast service, great atmosphere, loved everything about it.“

“Ramses the great chef makes the best ropa vieja in the world! Everything is quality and the new decor has a great vibe. What a gem of a restaurant.“

“Love everything, the empanadas are too divine!! The amount of dough, the flavor of the stew were perfect, they really are like eating them in Venezuela, and the attention was 1000 percent. I recommend all the empanadas, we are visiting from “

“Savoring the delectable cuisine here is a delight, complemented by the warmth and friendliness of the staff. However, the exclusively Spanish menus and limited English proficiency among the team can pose challenges for non-Spanish speaking patrons, making communication somewhat tricky.“

“I brought my husband and father here for lunch, and we all were amazed by how great the food and service were! We started off with a coconut drink with a sugar cane in it (so delicious) & I had a martini that had Kalua in it (also really delicious) oysters, tuna tostadas for appetizers, my father had a burger, my fiance had the snapper, an I had the salmon salad but replaced it for the ahi tuna. It wasn't just any salad. It had corn, bean, and all kinds of stuff that made the salad extra tasty! What made this place even better was our server named Jessa!!! She was absolutely amazing!!! She's the one who helped us order and recommend our drinks and food! If you go there, definitely ask for Jessa, trust me!! She will guide you through!!! We will definitely be coming back!!“

“Incredible!! I added a photo but I didn’t take the photo until AFTER I was done eating. This is what was left of my meal thats how wonderful the portion sizes are! I’m saving the rest for lunch. Haha. But I ordered the ‘Palomilla with 2 eggs a Cabello’ and a ‘Carne Empanada’ Omg best empanada I’ve had in years!I have a list I've curated over the years of my favorite restaurants for breakfast, and this has beat out all of them! The food is delicious, and so full of flavor, and large portion size. No wonder people recommend this place! The staff is so warm and kind and the food is so good that I'll probably get it multiple times a month and I don't even eat out like that. Lol. I just know I will crave it it's so good.“

“muy buena comida y atención muchas gracias Pablo y yanelis“

“I found this spot on my way to work and I’m so glad I did. The food was so good! ? I never had pupusas but the lady at the cash register suggested it! So yummy. They had positive quotes on the decor and inspirational music playing. This place is a whole vibe. Definitely set my day in the right direction. I had to go back and try the breakfast sandwich and cafe con Leche. So good. ?“

“muy buenas las empanadas“

“High recommend Leños if you're wanting to try Venezuelan food. The food is always fresh and the location is great for a chill night out. We always get either a pepito, picada, or cachapa and all are top notch. Expect to wait a little bit but that's because it's prepared on the spot.“

“Excelente la comida y la atencion“

“Didn't even see this place when I first passed .had to do a quick search of the area for some good food near me literally a 2 minute walk for a quick bite to eat. Tried the lunch burrito and was not disappointed! The right size for a great price and a diet coke on the side. Will be back for more authentic flavors.“

“If you are looking for authentic Spanish food— go here. The best Cuban toast breakfast sandwich you will ever have. Mangu is incredible. Not greasy and not dry. Incredible. We ordered our same meal to go as well. I have never done that before.“

“If you are looking for authentic, delicious, Cuban food at low prices, this is your cafe! I ordered the chicken quarter,black beans and rice, and yucca. Everything was warm, tasty and delicious! The chicken was very moist. My order was take out and my take out box is now empty, except for the bones. I can't wait to go back!“

“I'm guessing it's a different owner because this isn't the name of the restaurant. It's Puntacana and food was good. The ribs were delicious and I regret not getting more. We sat on the deck to eat and watched the cats play.“

“They have catering! We've been to this location to sit and eat a few times, food was great! Decided to try their catering services for an engagement party and it was very good! ✨️Citrus honey grilled chicken breast (yummy), white rice, (I made my own beans) sweet plantains, salad and bread. Anderson and the LC LA Chateau at Latin Grill team really came through with no mistakes, and on time (we picked up our order, but they do have delivery available). I would use them again! Great job!!!“

“I have no hesitation in expressing that you can find the best Cuban Pizza at Farandulero Pizza, I sell from Lakeland FL to eat here in Tampa, super recommended, it should be noted that apart from the food, it is the pleasant attention that is worth a lot in a place. Thank you guys.“

“Los mejores garbanzos de Tampa“

“Service was amazing. Food was also terrific, very impressed. Steak was over cooked, but they were very gracious and corrected. Menu is really interesting, not sane as other places and offers a nice choice option with some really lovely twists that make the dishes special. Highly recommend“

“Great friendly service, delicious food, music and tables made me feel like my Beautiful Island of Enchantment! Vaya Boricua!!“

“Authentic Salvadoran dishes! The place is a hole in the wall and servers don’t know much English but it is worth it. Definitely has someone’s abuela cooking back there. Food was delicious. The stew was the best and of course I love a place with generous portions. Pupusas! Fireeee definitely will return.“

“We specifically choose this restaurant because of the online menu we reviewed. When we arrived we were told they only had a truncated version and did not offer the selections we came for. In today's easy updatable tech world, please update your menus to reflect your current offerings.“

“The food is great! Only problem with this establishment is the overall environment. The furniture is dirty and it appears ad if zero attention is paid to decor. I was there on a couple of occasions and the air conditioning appeared to be not working properly. There is no excuse for worn down/dirty furniture. Once that issue is handled this establishment will be known it's way to being a really good place to eat out at.“

“Their food used to be great and you used to actually taste the flare in their food. But it seems like they had a kitchen staff change. As you can taste the big difference (.i.e. - sancocho, empanadas, bandeja paisa etc.). The lack of flavor, the food doesn't seem as fresh and appealing...it's not how it used to be and I've been coming here for years.“

“I highly recommend this restaurant. This is my go to spot to get Central American food and I've always been happy with the food orders. Simply delicious!“

“The best decision I made for my wedding was hosting the ceremony and lunch reception at El Puerto! The owner and staff went above and beyond expectations to deliver for our wedding! Every single guest made sure to tell us how much they loved the Parrillada Argentina meats and Aji de Gallina (chicken stew)! Everyone local plans to return again because of how good the food was! Thank you for making our wedding day such a memorable one!!!!“

“aquí encuentras productos de nuestros países de Centroamérica“
