One day while stuck in traffic on Evesham I looked over and saw Latina’s. Not knowing what it was, I forgot about it. Then I read a story about it and how it was a new Latin fusion restaurant. Tonight we went in for dinner and it was simply amazing. The environment is super cheerful. Our server whose name I forget was extremely attentive, friendly and made recommendations.
We started with the Latina’s sampler. It had stuffed jalepeno peppers, cheese quesadilla, toquitos and empanadas. Everything is homemade and packed with flavor. Definitely not boxed.
For the main course because we are gluttonous slobs, we ordered a chorizo burrito with chicken, chicken quesadilla, fries, shrimp taco, birria taco, and a beer taco. The flavors were mind blowing. I wasn’t a fan of the beef but I think it’s just me since I never like ground beef unless it’s a burger.
The restaurant is super cheerful, clean and they play great music. They are a byob. You supply the tequila and they will sell you the margarita mix. I’m thinking the margarita mix is probably going to be unlike anything I have ever had before. Oh we also got dessert to bring home. Have t eaten that yet because I’m about to fall into a food coma but it is pretty.
This place is close to my house which sucks becomes I’m going never going to lose weight. Totally worth it though, I love Latin food and to find a place that is so authentic, fresh and happy is truly a treat! I highly recommend. Oh and taco Tuesday, buy three tacos...
Read moreWe walked in to an empty restaurant, so service was extremely attentive. We were given chips + house made salsa, and brought our drinks and appetizer. Four parties arrived shortly after, and service came to a screeching halt. We then waited more than 20 minutes for our entrees, and never even had a chance to ask for refills for our drinks. I understand they were busy, so I'm not judging, but it did affect my experience, which is the point of a review, and when paying $90 for a meal for two, I'd really like to have a drink to wash it down with. The jalapeno poppers + elote were decent, the shrimp chaufa was very good (lots of shrimp!), and the beef enchiladas in red sauce were not good at all. The meat seemed like they had just fried up some ground beef - very plain, no cheese, no seasoning - and stuffed it into the shell. The cheese on top was a few barely melted strands. They had a great selection of bottled Mexican sodas, along with house made Jamaica and Horchata. And though we didn't try any, their dessert menu had some very nice options. The dining room was open and airy, with beautiful wood tables and lots of plants. We sat in front of the window, which was actually quite chilly due to the air vent being directly overhead. We ordered 6 empanadas to take home - 3 chicken+ 3 beef. Heated them up tonight in the air fryer and they were just okay. Very very bland. The dough was pretty thick corn meal, probably a bit too thick. Definitely wouldn't get them again. Most likely will not be...
Read moreWent here yesterday, my lady found an amazing $20.00 off coupon. The place is located in a strip mall, and if it’s a busy day, I can see parking can be an issue. The place looks small from the outside but it has a decent intimate dining room. The decor is decent, the wooden tables stand out the most, divided by a piece of glass, nice touch.
We ordered the elote, which was by far the best elote (Mexican street corn) I ever had. It was full with so much flavor. It made me upset that we ordered only one.
I ordered Al pastor tacos and my lady ordered shrimp tacos. They didn’t have the traditional green and red sauce, they had this mixed dipping sauce. Caution it’s so spicy that you might yell for the waiter to bring you water (light weight I know). My tacos were decent, however when I saw other people’s orders I kind of regretted my order. Lastly, my lady doesn’t eat meat, and her shrimp had pieces of meat on it. Definitely some contamination going on back there. We just wanted to bring that to your attention.
The waitress, she was amazing, coming to our table and making sure we were ok. She was very sweet.
Oh yea, the food came out super fast. The wait...
