Latin Restaurant

Good service and food. The real fall of the bone ribs are here! You won't regret trying the ribs or a fresh dolphin. This place improves so much since last time I was here, I'm not sure if the management changed but I'm definitely coming back soon. 5 stars!

Update (2 Stars, 7/20/2022): I had to come update my original review (see below). Sadly, the quality of the food is no longer very consistent in the mornings or afternoons. Even when giving clear instructions of how you'd like eggs cooked (for example), the cooking staff ignores your requests and you have to send the eggs back once (or twice) to get them cooked to your original specification. Fries/tater tots will often go just barely cooked (still a little soggy or undercooked) rather than crispy and well made. When order things like vaca frita, they'll just barely crisp the meat rather than let them crisp fully and thoroughly (as you should). Originally in my 2019 review, I noted amazing service provided by the old guard including Martica, Yanely (no longer employed), and Yuleisy (all 3 are/were morning staff). A lot of their new hires are NOT as welcoming, loving, and special as their old hires; they don't provide the standard of service I had come to expect from Latin Restaurant. Frankly, I think the COVID pandemic hit Latin very hard and ultimately has caused their quality both in food and service to diminish horribly. I barely go around anymore even though I'd love to go back. I can no longer in good conscience recommend Latin Restaurant when there are better places in the same price bracket such as Casavana (both for their food and service). I hope things change for the better soon. Original (5 Stars, 2019, Attending Since 2014): I work across the street at FIU's Engineering Center so I frequent here A LOT. The 10% county employee discount applies to students which is always appreciated. One of the things that keeps me coming back here is the ambiance and the service. It is top notch and the staff comes to know you if you frequent enough. Breakfast is always good, so is lunch/dinner. For the price, you get WAY MORE than you paid for. Popular routine is visiting for lunch then keeping the left overs for dinner because they serve a lot and you will NOT be minding a double serving for the day. If you're in Miami and want to try some authentic Latin cuisine that's no-fuss and down-to-Earth, then check this place out. You might even see me there.

HORRIBLE SERVICE. This place could be fine if it wasn't for the service they provide. EVERYTIME I make an order on Uber eats from this place, they forget half my order every time, it’s like a joke. When I go to pick up my food in person. The waitress’s act like I’m not there and ignore me. I have to call out to them multiple times and it’s still as if I’m being ignored. It’s ridiculous that I pay full price for my food & don’t even get all of it. Then on top of that have to deal with attitude & disrespectful behavior from the people running the establishment. They should really focus on getting there staff in line with proper customer service cause its outrageous.
