7 Best Latin American Restaurants near Knightdale

“** Long Post Warning** OOHHHHH MYYYYYY GOOOOOODDDDDDD! Outside of Texas I have never had such delicious barbecue. The brisket will have you crying like a baby and the I house made pimento cheese sausage is crazy! The bbq rice is perfect and the pork bbq is ridiculous and flavor packed to the last bite. The whole staff is pretty much Military Veterans and you can see and hear them working together to make sure service is quick and seamless. The best barbecue place in NC hands down. Each year he honors active duty and military veterans with free food for the whole family. Most places that do military meals only give it to the military person and it's usually a lunch size portion of 3-4 options on a limited menu. Not at Prime. You get the same options and portions for free as you would if you paid. I have a family of 6 so imagine what kind of bill we usually have. To have that paid for and get the quality of food we get is mind blowing. Prime has a special table that can be reserved by veterans or active duty that seats 8-10 people and it's awesome. The owner Christopher Prieto is the most genuine and humble man on earth. My wife sat down to eat one day and he seen my Navy Veteran shirt. He asked me if he could sit down and thanked me for my service and just started talking to me and my wife like we knew each other all our lives. I knew I seen his face before and then I realized he was on Food Networks Chopped in the barbecue championship representing NC. My family is a family of faith and so is he. He talked to us about how God gave him his vision and his purpose for the restaurant and how he uses proceeds to help veterans and families in need have meals and basic necessities as his way of showing the love of the Lord. I cannot say enough about this place. My wife and I go every chance we get.“

“Wait staff is attentive. While I've only tried 1 entree so far, it was flavorful. All day brunch (daily) with a promising menu and an assortment of craft beers and liquor. Decent sized dining room and very convenient location. Latin inspired home cooking. Give them a try.“

“The manager Jesus Pena was very attentive and had a really good customer service he recommended us the fried rice it was delicious and the cilantro dressing was delicious also we will come back for more of this delicious food I can’t wait to try the pollo saltado that Jesus was talking “

“South and central American food. Good place to visit for meat and seafood lovers.This place is always clean. Staff is super friendly and come around to see how your doing. Most plates are between $15-25. The portions are good size. And waiting time is short. The food itself is delicious and well seasoned. I recommend the Lomo saltado for $15.99 And the Cucumber juice with Chia for $3.99. very good. Overall from 1-10 , I give this experience an 9.“

“Absolutely outstanding food. The ribs fell off the bone and were incredibly flavorful even without the sauce. but the pernil and black beans... I could probably eat those everyday for the next year and not get tired of those. Everything was incredibly flavorful, and incredibly well cooked. Cannot recommend highly enough!“

“I love the food the customer service depends on who’s working and the music is so loud to me you can’t hear to tell the workers your order and I would like to know has any one else has a problem with the workers taking your receipts back from you ?“

“The atmosphere was very calm and relaxing. The floor plan is very open and spacious with different table seating choices. The staff was very professional and nice. I wish the online ordering was working but other than that I'm sold. Will be coming back cause I love arepas! I got the salmon and it was absolutely delicious and filling.“
