24 Best Latin American Restaurants near Harahan

“I went at lunch and got the 4/ $10 carne asada tacos and a coffee. The staff is very sweet, and didn't charge me for my coffee since there was some confusion about flavors on the menu. This is the only place I can think of with real street style tacos that are NOT dripping with grease. Very fresh and light.“

“This is my new favourite restaurant in New Orleans. Me and my girlfriends grabbed to go and had picnic by the bayou and we were amazed by the food. You must get the pupusa sandwich with plantains. It was incredible!! Highly reccommend this “

“Latin American food at its best! Interesting menu and big portions with home cooked flavors. Don't miss the wonderful hand crafted cocktails made with care by the owner himself. So yummy! The wait staff were friendly and attentive. We enjoyed a leisurely dinner.“

“I don’t know where to start but maybe with the meticulous approach to everything from prep to plating. Every dish was immaculate. The vibe was blessedly chill. Our server Catherine (who I sensed handles greater responsibilities) was cordial and informative, including her wine selections. We went with classics tonight: ceviche, mofongo, arepas, ropa vieja, and everything was perfect. I love this place so much.“

“Cute and clean place with great atmosphere!We ordered pupusas, plato paisa, dessert and drinks. We left only empty plates there. Everything was delicious. Pupusas with the warm sauce-amazing! Grilled meats and shrimp-perfect, thick and tasty flan, refreshing rice water! Thank you for all.P.S. This place has All day menu and pictures of the food in the menu - this is very helpful.“

“Had the Carne Asada and Cuban Sándwiches today! ?The Sándwiches were perfectly made, just the right amount of ingredients, carne Asada super tender, which is not the case in many places. Both Sándwiches were juicy, and the bread they used was just the right crunch!Can't wait to try the Tripleta Sándwich!!The guys in the store were super welcoming and friendly, not something you always get in hispanic stores, and they seemed very genuine.The Carniceria has fresh meats and well priced, AND they will cook your buys at NO EXTRA CHARGE!!! ?Love the concept they have going on!!!I wish them the BEST!!!!“

“I really wanted to hate this place. Another hipster gentrifying the neighborhood with their pseudo-ethnic cuisine. This rich boy, Banksy buying, carpet bagger…. I so very much wanted to hate it. But I couldn’t. It was just too good. The food was delicious. The prices were just right. The authentic tile work and gas station bathroom were absolutely delightful. The servers were raw and righteous. The way the owner spoke…. The little frogs…. The whole vibe just felt right. I couldn’t hate it. I loved it.“

“The food here is unmatched, truly a gem. Service is always great as well. I normally get the Central American breakfast, which is great if you don't know what you want. Bring cash and it's worth the special trip. I've been eating here for 10+ years and it is always great.“

“Every so often in life, you run across people who are doing exactly what they're supposed to be doing. These people were meant to make the best food possible, with excellent sourcing of ingredients, and the most kind and welcoming service. If you are by the airport in New Orleans, why suffer anything less? It's a 12 hr drive from my house, and I am considering the trip.“

“Amazing restaurant the asados and parrilladas were the most savory I’ve tasted in the New Orleans area. The staff is friendly and very accommodating.they will go out there way with even the smallest detail.the best part is the owner will personally come greet you and check up on you and see how everything is super friendly guy. Will definitely be telling all my friends and family about this place. It need to be well known!“

“This place is absolutely amazing!! We got several empanadas to try. Such a cool find. The staff was friendly and it had a cool New Orleans vibe but different. You can sit and enjoy the views of magazine street and the spinach and artichoke empanadas will make you lick the plate. Hands down awesome“

“From my perspective, I believe the restaurant is family owned. When I walked in I felt warm and I was greeted immediately. I had chips and guac and baleadas. The gauc was definitely fresh just wish it was more cold and more salt. I feel like the chips were old but it was still edible. The size of the baleadas was large, which I’m not usually used to, which is a great thing. It was pretty good just needed more flavor.Kid-friendliness: For the family“

“This is a vary small place with great food. The employees are vary friendly. The food is made fresh every day. The Taco Nicaraguans corn tortilla with beef an vary spicy is great.. 3 for $7.80'. Try the Yucca , Spanish pastries stuffed with ground beef is wonderful only $9.00 . And the Flan is great. YouMust go there it has the best food an not pricey.“

“I've had a bad experience trying Honduran food before, but this certainly changed my mind. The environment is super friendly, super clean, and the staff are very kind. The Mexican tacos are a must and quite frankly, the only tacos that I've liked in the Metairie and Kenner area.I definitely recommend! I'm definitely coming back to try more.“

“What a gem! Great authentic Honduran food. Very good service and fair prices. We tried a cross section of the menu and everything was excellent. I personally like some spice but with flavor, not just heat. This was exactly what I was looking for. Excellent.“

“Amazing salad!! I grabbed a Brussels sprouts salad for lunch pickup after lots of delicious but very heavy meals in NOLA. It was packed full of veggies, with loads of sprouts, plus avocado, almonds, and cheese. Great dressing too! I got the pork as an additional protein, which was really good, but I wished I had ordered the chicken after seeing it in a neighbor's taco while I waited for my meal. Also, what a cool looking restaurant! And the service was wonderful, even for takeout. They set me up at the bar some water while I waited.“

“The owners and the girls who serve you there always have a smile on their faces, they understand very well the concept of friendliness and good service...with the food so that, everything I've eaten there I love: fajitas de chicken, flour cakes, shot with everything, chicken with slices, without forgetting to mention that my husband says that all the soups are very good... congratulations Sabores de Mi H ....10/10 ?“

“We had ropa vieja and con gris - excellent the platanitos were perfect. The place looks like a hole in the wall but the food is amazing. Don't be deceived this restaurant is very good and well priced. The people working in the restaurant make you feel like you are in your Nicaraguan grandmother's. I'm not Nicaraguan but if I were this would be my grandparents house. Loved the experience.“

“This is such a great place. Everyone should check it out!! The food is absolutely amazing. You can't go wrong with anything you order! We all had the crepes for breakfast. I really loved the banana crepes the most. My son had the egg & havarti crepe, which was phenomenal & also came with a small salad with the most amazing dressing.The only thing I didn't love was the coffee. The server seemed unsure about it, and it was lukewarm & overly bitter. I also asked for some oat milk, of which she brought less than a teaspoon in a little cup, which wasn't quite enough even for my small cup of coffee. I didn't notice the coffee station in the room until later, or I would have walked over to see what the options there were. Even so, one bad cup of coffee wasn't enough to overshadow how wonderful the rest of our meal was!I would definitely go here again!Vegetarian options: Lots of vegetarian items!Dietary restrictions: Lots of GF, including crepes & cheese bread!“

“WOW! Is what I have to say after dining here for dinner this past weekend. It has been a long time since I've dined at a steakhouse locally and actually enjoyed every part of the dinner! For starters the ambiance was perfect for my partner and I's birthday/dinner date. Our waiter (can't remember his name) was very attentive and helped us pick great menu options. The bread service was good and just what we were looking for. Our steaks were both perfect along with the crispy potatoes as a side which were definitively REAL crispy potatoes, fried to perfection! On the house they gave us a birthday dessert - Tres Leches which was yummy! I would definitely be back to explore more of the menu.“

“Spicy chicken sandwich was very delicious. First commercial chicken sandwich I've had that seemed natural, not processed. Very flavorful! 10 minutes to cook tells me ots the real deal. Mac and Cheese looked ordinary, but was really delicious. The mango juice drink was so refreshing! I'll definitely be back again!“

“My Little Honduras is a gem of a place with exceptional cleanliness that makes you feel immediately comfortable. The service is warm and attentive, ensuring a delightful dining experience. Each dish is an explosion of authentic flavors, truly capturing the essence of Honduran cuisine. It's not just a meal; It is a culinary journey that leaves you wanting to return.“

“Incredible food, but the prices are high, and also higher than posted on their menu, about double. It cost as much to go to Addis across the street, so be ready for full service dining prices. The food is incredible though, if I could get a plate and a juice for around 20$ I'd eat there every day, but you're looking at 30-40$ for lunch.“
