16 Best Latin American Restaurants near Hawaiian Gardens

“After a long day of movies and shopping at the towne center, This is my favorite place to go. The Chaufa de pollo is AMAZING. I always get extra green sauce to mix in with the Chaufa and it's just delightful. The service is always great, even when there a long line the workers are always kind. And inside the seating area is plentiful if you decide to eat in. Definitely recommend stopping here if you have the chance and if you have even more time try out the restaurant!“

“Love this place so much!!! My fiancé and I went here on our first ever date and so it already holds a special place for us, but deservingly so. This place is delicious. I've tried multiple things on their menu and nothing ever misses. They also give you a complimentary chip appetizer which i couldn't get enough of and had to physically stop myself because I knew the rest of the delicious food was coming. Service is always great and the establishment is very clean. There is lots of seating and a small parking lot in the back. If that lot is full then you can find street parking. The Anticuchos, lomo saltado, jalea mixto, ceviche, Seco, and stir fried noodles are all so tasty. The flavors are never lacking, plus there are so many other things on the menu to try. I love this place and will always come back.“

“Sivar Treats has an amazing staff and delicious food. There are many tasty treats: pupusas, plátano, el caldo de gallina, los postres. My family hired them for a baby shower and they were professional , kind , and the food was perfect . They have another location opening in Silverlake too!“

“Second time visiting this restaurant and once again it did not dissapoint. Ropa vieja with maduros and congri was delicious. Tried their flan for first time. Was delicious! Im not a fan of flan. The texture is either rubbery, mushy or too sweet buy the flan here was the Best flan I've ever tasted. Firm, but smooth texture with delicious topping. Definitely making this restaurant one of my favorites.“

“They have Amorcito in Long Beach at LBX Hanger on Lakewood BLVD and Carson Street and Amor Y Tacos in Cerritos but have some shared and some unique menu items at each location. Until you have had 20+ ingredient Mole' Tots you have not lived folks. Just flat out amazing.“

Three 75" tvs on the wall for sports watching, big bathrooms. The food is of the hook here everything is the bomb. Lots of choices, lots of food for the money. And everybody is family here and everybody knows your name kinda place. Always a satisfying experience here.“

Plenty of time to eat.Kid-friendliness: They got kids menu“

“Today is my 4th time coming here, close to my house near South Gate park. I've had breakfast 3 times & today I came for a Sopa de Gallina. I must say their food is delicious, the presentation is very appealing & their service has been consistent & pleasant. I would highly recommend you come in & try it for yourself. Thank you for the great food & service. Jose D. ?“

“Almost always good service... but I had a bad experience... there is a tall white girl, she works at the cashier and when she brought us the groceries she threw the straws and she turned around and left and when she brought the food she did the same thing I just threw it away and it left..“

“In honor of the truth, coming here in particular for me has been a nice experience, very good seasoning, there is potential, I hope they continue forward and that passion fruit oatmeal transports me not only to Ecuador but to my childhood, it makes me happy. Thank you, I congratulate you for your work. I ate everything very delicious.“

“One of the best local pupusa places in Lynwood/South Gate area. Their pupusas are huge and full of cheese that pulls out when you break the pupusas. Their curtido is very flavorful. They also serve a delicious Carne Guizada with rice, beans, salad, and had made delicious fat tortillas. One more item that my wife and I like to order and now our son loves too is their sopa de pollo that comes with a lot of vegetables, two pieces of chicken and most impotently, they serve it with little coditos pasta inside. it brings the sopa to another level especially when you are sick or it's just a sopa kind of weather. The staff is very friendly and very attentive. Will definitely keep coming back here as long they keep making delicious food.“

“Tried the Buenos Box Loaded Quesadilla, the Buenos Box Grilled Cheese box, the Churros with Ube sauce, and the Ube Chata.Let me start with the good:The birria quesadilla and birria grilled cheese were amazing! I'm not much of a birria fan, so hopefully that's saying something. The meat was suave and easy to eat, almost like you could just drink it lol. The tortilla for the quesadilla had a subtle soft crunch and was flavorful. The grilled cheese tasted like a Philly cheesesteak sandwich. And the bread was really flavorful. It was unexpected! You can't go wrong with either of these choices.Churros with Ube sauce. I wanted the option with ice cream, but they didn't have any. You can't really go wrong with churros. The Ube sauce is lightly sweetened. It was a nice dessert.The ambience is great. The store is very colorful and they play a nice variety of music. The tables and chairs aren't really user friendly though.The not so good: The street corn side was not so good. They need to put more of the toppings and mix it well. I just had corn with juices at the bottom. Didn't even finish it after it got cold.The nachos were alright. The cheese sauce or whatever they put on it needs more flavor, and the chips seem really light on salt. The birria and other toppings were good though.The verde or green sauce needs more flavor. Usually it has more a citrus kick and slightly spicier. It was alright. I did end up mixing it with the leftover nacho cheese sauce and using it for the quesadillas. Huge horchata fan here. Ube Chata tasted like Froot Loops. Didn't like it too much. Maybe add more horchata?I went on two different days for these orders. The service was fast, but the cashier didn't seem like he wanted to be there.“

“We got a revuelta and chicharrón with cheese, it was packed with filling and was so cheesy and gooey (in the best way possible) we also got "Fresco de Maracuyá" aka passion fruit water. It was so refreshing and not overly sweet! This is not fast food, they are a small business making your food fresh, please keep this in mind. I recommend ordering ahead of time on the phone, our order was ready in about 10 minutes!“

“Best $2.00 I spent all year. Where can you eat, drink, listen to music and buy pretty much anything all in one spot? Let me tell you, it's the Santa Fe Springs Swap Meet.Parking sucks unless you park way in the back in the off site lot and enter thru the back entrance. Most of the vendors are permanently stationed in their own space here. Plenty of fresh fruit, bakery items, candy, clothes, shoes, hats. They sell animals and an abundance of random things. I purchased some Croc charms at a $1.00 each, bulk candy bags at 3 for $10.00. I found a new hat and some things I didn't need.There is live music on weekends. The Doors cover band was what caught my attention. Pretty cool place to relax, get exercise and enjoy the sun.Food and drinks can be expensive.“
