14 Best Latin American Restaurants near Santa Clara

“This restaurant definitely stands in its surroundings. It feels very grand. Service was friendly, fast and attentive. Loved the personal coat racks, decor and fire performer. The music was lively. The bathroom (specifically the women's bathroom) was a bit unexpectedly messy especially since the atmosphere felt more on the ostentatious side. My meal was fun/creative & had potential but the quality was ok. I believe it was a bit overcooked (wagyu sushi). Overall, it gave off a nightclub vibe. I'd go again. If I could make one recommendation, it would be to employ tighter quality control.“

“We went there and the ambience was just perfect for a date. We have been waiting to this for quite sometime now and finally got a chance to visit today. Unfortunately, the food had less seasoning and we ended up eating less. The server and the manager observed and they just inquired about the same and reciprocated on the same. Thank you for your generosity & hospitality! We will visit again as maybe it was not our day today!“

“shing and a little tart! I also got the crispy plantain taco which was amazing! As someone who just came back from Panama this was on par with the plantains out there! The crispness and saltiness from the taco paired with the sweetness of the cranberries and plantain was just perfect! The only problem was that it was a little bit dry so if there was a sauce to go with it?! The elote were really cool with an amazing shape almost curled up like ribs! They were tasty and had crema and tajin on them! However for their price I would have wanted a little more! I also got the churrasco steak! The steak itself was well cooked and flavorful with a little bit of tomato sauce! The charred vegetables were also amazing! Overall it was really an authentic dish with even the rice being unique with a completely different taste than normal! However I also wished they had some kind of sauce to go with the dish which would have made it just supreme! We ended off with a churro which was warm and gooey with a vanilla center which I loved! Overall the food here is authentic and unique, but it is on the pricier end. However for the amazing service and ambiance paired with the good food I would definitely give this place a try!“

“La Cueva is one of my favorite spots to go to in the South Bay. My usual orders include any of the following: shrimp or fish burrito, fish tacos, and seafood chile relleno. Can't go wrong with the quesadillas either! The green sauce (comes with the chips) is a MUST try, so fresh and so good.“

“Latin-Asian-Fusion is a great restaurant/catering business. We needed to figure out all the details for a baby shower with about 100 people. My daughter wanted it to be elegant and lovely for all. Roddy, the business owner answered a general search that I made on the internet. He suggested a great event space and every step of the way kept us informed of our plans and food selections for an absolutely fun and beautiful event. The food was spectacular, delicious and served in a first class, gorgeous display. All staff were very professional and kept the party well served.“

“There are so many options to pick from. Forgot to take a picture of our traditional Salvadoran breakfast, but let me tell you, it was so yummy. We've tried their popusas a few weeks ago, and they were great. If my Salvadoran husband likes it, then we definitely recommend this place.“

“The arepas here are excellent, and we love the cachapa as well. We've had arepas all over the country, and this place has one of the better ones. The only thing I wish they'd do differently, is allow customizing the Reina pepiada, because as I understand, it's currently pre-mixed, so no customizations are possible with that one. I've had the same arepa at other places and those have allowed to make a custom arepa with just the avocado and chicken, wish that was possible here. Apart from that, excellent service and food, we'll keep going back!“

“I liked the fried chicken, very good flavor. Only you have to add more slices to fried chicken. Since they put more cabbage than slices. Nice place, clean, tidy, and very good service from the staff. They need to put chips and salsa on what you expect the food to be.“

“I went there for lunch. It was my first time there. The place is so beautiful and the food was so delicious. I had the enchiladas with cheese and rice. The employees were so very nice. The place was so clean. I will be going back soon. I would give you 10 stars ✨ if I could. Thank you for such a delicious meal. My name is MARY Omnes.“

“Food was good and service was great. Location was sketchy, and parking lot definitely needs improvements. Michelada was okay, molcajete was very good, and bistec a la mexicana was okay as well. Beef taster kind of old to be honest.Overall great service.“

“We visited a Peruvian restaurant for the first time and received a warm welcome. They could tell we were new, so they took extra care of us. Since most of the staff spoke Spanish, we had someone who spoke English help us with our orders. They recommended the Peruvian drink Chicha Morada, which we loved and ordered. For starters, we tried Tamales and Choros a la chalaca (Mussels). The tamales were cooked perfectly, and even though it was our first time trying mussels, we enjoyed them, they get all the taste from toppings of onion, tomato, and lemon. Not easy for first timers to savor the raw taste and look of mussels. After seeing good reviews, we decided to try the Ceviche De Pescado. It turned out to be marinated seafood, not cooked, but surprisingly, we enjoyed its unique citrusy flavor. It was well-prepared, and we were glad we tried something new that didn't disappoint. Overall, we had a great experience and highly recommend trying Peruvian specialties.“

“What an amazing little place for the drinks and a small bite . Beautiful done , loved the rustic decor and its vibes ….. it’s a beautiful place to just catch up with friends or to enjoy Row’s hustle bustle . Loved their spicy margaritas, loaded nachos and caramel churros .“

“I love that Pollo Campero is San Jose we now don't have to drive to SF. The only downside is that there is never any parking. The handicap parking is taken by the Doordash or Uber drivers that mind you don't have a handicap plac. The Digital Kitchen should a designated area on the side for them to park and shoot the breeze. Most of us want to park and get our food lots of time we end up parking pretty far.“
