Teresa's Latin American Restaurant — Restaurant in Kaohsiung

As someone who has lived in Latin América for more than 30 years I can tell you that this is the most authentic food you can get in Kaohsiung.

The lady is from Bolivia while the husband is Taiwanese. If you're still not convinced just take a look at all the latin American people whom have left their mark in the ceiling of this restaurant.

While the pictures you see such as the tacos doesn't look like much I can assure you the taste is authentic. After all, you came for the taste of the meat no? The tacos have a very good filling of minced meat and the taste is authentic.

The quesadilla is what it is supposed to be as well as the consistency of its tortilla.

The sauce just by its smell is exactly what it smells like in latin américa.

Be sure to ask for the spicy sauce if you're looking for a stronger flavor. Sauce is from Indonesia but guess what? Indonesians are akin to strong flavors.

For dessert the restaurant is famous for its flan and they definitely did not disapoint.

This place is authentically latin American and definitely reminds me of home. Come here...

Listen closely. Personally I wouldn't visit a second time and I wouldn't suggest the place to anyone either. The people seem sweet but the food is a TRAVESTY! Especially for the price. The food is not even garnished. The plating is below basic. Everything is just dumped on the plate. I wish I had read the reviews before entering. I only saw the rating and thought, "Oh well, the food must be good". Boy was I wrong. Whilst eating I began reading the reviews and realised how accurate the 1 star reviews were.You have been warned. They either need a new cook (cause the person in the kitchen clearly isn't a chef) or have the recipes revamped. The setting needs a freshening up as well. Lo siento Teresa pero la...

I am thoroughly flummoxed by the positive reviews.

The food? Nothing tasted exceptional. I'd say cafeteria quality at best. The quesadilla seemed strait from Costco!

The service? We didn't order a cheese quesadilla. A cheese quesadilla arrived and the owner insisted we ordered it. Not worth arguing about but worth noting.

And let's be honest on the final point, the restaurant is a dump that hasn't been updated in any way in at least twenty years. It's not old cool, it's just old and dirty. From the old menus with stickers to update prices to tables of uneven height.... it's a depressing atmosphere even if the food and service were better.

There are so many...
