Order here all the time. Today I received my Fried Chicken Chunks Dinner and the meat tasted burned or as if it was made in old grease . Kindly called and asked for a fresh meal and when I was told that it seemed find but I could come by. When I arrived I received the worse customer service. Lady was argumentative and rude. I’m a regular , definitely lost a customer .

The food was really good, we enjoyed it a lot and it was not Mexican food. I love Mexican food but as Colombian, I like to try other Latin flavours which not always are easy to find. The place is always busy people lining up to get food and is really not meant to eat there. It is more for takeout, when going there take your time as you will be in line. The people who work there take their time to measure the quality of food and they are not rushing which is great. Even if you go there to eat you have to line up, get your food and use the tables that are available. I enjoy a lot the pulled pork and the crispy skin, my favourite the sweet banana plantains

I’m away from home and I wanted something decent to eat, so I ordered the white rice beans and a piece of Chicharron because it looked delicious. The rice and beans was OK but the Chicharron was horrible. It looks like it was fried two or three times.

Friday 7/12/24 I went to get food after working. I got a stewed chicken & baked chicken with yellow rice I paid $18 & $1 for tip. Quick service no big deal. I literally got home immediately right after I left there. I started eating the baked chicken & what appeared to be tiny grains of rice bunched up was indeed MAGGOTS!! I was so scared & shaking because I cannot understand what is going on. I went to the restaurant to get a refund because I didn’t want to blow them up but I explained to the owner nicely the situation & I just want a refund I won’t tell anyone. But you know what that lady did ? sat there in my face laughing & telling me to leave the facility because it was chicken. I just want money back she said I’m a druggy trying to get their money back!!! Excuse meeeee I felt super disrespected in which I brought my husband back with me because Their son started yelling in my face cursing at me and calling me a liar when I infact had their faces turned sour because they realized it was MAGGOTS. When my husband got there The nasty lady said to me what you want your little $10 back? I said no I want $19 it was $18 I gave a $1 tip. Do you know after they rushed us out they gave us $10.i did not know this as I was agitated and they gave the money to my husband. Wanted to mention how the owner Said we left our food outside & that’s how we got maggots. Anyways we are outside & The male owner came outside with a magnifier glass in broad daylight he realized it was maggots & the wife pushed him back & in Spanish said we gave them their money let’s go. We stopped them & said so is that maggots( in English)?! He turned his nose & didn’t say anything why the wife called the cops?!!!! The son got mad tried to fight my husband as they called the cops to get us arrested. I cannot believe how I was treated because they had flies devour the meat. Their facility needs to be shut down because This is unacceptable. Worst customer service ever. I am disgusted my kids ate some of the food with me & we are terrified we are going to be sick. I read what maggots can do if you eat them.

OMG! I really can’t say enough.. In all my travels and Many many Spanish restaurants.. This place is THE BEST! Since I travel and have little time to sit and eat, what matters to me is price and over all food quality. I found it.. Where to start??! I had a small pork shoulder and yellow rice with beans on top meal.. WONDERFUL.. tastes like old school grandparents cooking! Meat was flavorful, well cooked and moist. rice was soft and delicious and beans also!
More than a staff just two; the food is well kept fresh and made to look beautiful! Everything looked high quality as you can tell the staff was conscious and concerned with appearance.
I also had their piña colada drink which was TO DIE FOR!! That is the best I can describe it!
AND for dessert.. tres leches cake… What to say about it?.. Ummmm please mail this cake to me once a day ❤️❤️❤️
Over all: the establishment is small but nice, their staff was busy, but not rude, their prices was reasonable to great and given the quality and flavor of their food.. Totally worth every penny from purchasing to even travel.. 6 stars.. Best Spanish restaurant yet.. A MUST GO!

A Must-Visit for Amazing Spanish Food and Friendly Service!
I recently had the absolute pleasure of ordering from El Latino Restaurant, and it’s quickly become a new favorite! This spot truly shines, offering fantastic Spanish cuisine whether you’re looking to dine in, grab takeout, or even cater a special event.
On my lunch break, I picked up some takeout, and everything was fantastic. The highlight for me, without a doubt, was the oxtails. They were absolutely incredible—perfectly tender, rich with flavor, and just melted in my mouth. They came served with a side of their delicious rice and beans, which were the ideal accompaniment, completing a truly satisfying and authentic Spanish meal.
Beyond the delicious food, the experience was made even better by the friendly staff. Everyone was so welcoming and attentive, making the ordering process smooth and pleasant.
I was so impressed that I also placed a catering order for an upcoming event. Knowing the quality of their food and the friendliness of their service, I’m confident it will be a hit!
I highly recommend El Latino Restaurant if you’re craving authentic Spanish flavors and a wonderfully welcoming environment. You won’t be disappointed!

A family owned restaurant right next to the airport in Rochester. This restaurant will become a regular stop for me. I visited a 2nd time for lunch. The food is authentic. It’s very good. You will feel full after eating. The rice and meat will settle in and your ready for a nap.
