Ordered takeout ribs that were amazingly delicious and well priced. Would definitely try eating at the the restaurant at the next opportunity and try their other meat options!!
I was across the street at Pio Pio ordering some ceviche when the hankering for some ribs came on. I’ve been meaning to try Latino Bites SMTM after being a fan of their truck for a number of years, so I figured I would get a quick to-go order for some St. Louis ribs. The staff kindly informed me it would take 25 minutes, so I switched to the beef ribs instead.
I was expecting English style ribs, but they were flanken cut. The only interesting surprise was that the cashier pressed me for a tip, so I felt compelled to tip a few dollars. Not a big deal, but I would recommend implementing a service charge for take-out orders in lieu of an implicit mandatory optional tip.
The ribs itself were deliciously scrumptious!!Extremely well seasoned that was further complemented by the charred character expected from a flame grill. I used scissors to cut between each bone and would have rib in one hand; while shoveling the rice/salad with my other hand. 💪🤤 The ribs were so delicious that I must have blacked out momentarily because the next thing I remember was staring down at an empty container with fully content stomach.
I absolutely devoured these things and would look forward to enjoying them...
Read moreAfter seeing this place in Instagram my husband my toddler and 8 decided to take a ride from queens village area last night to try them. And it was absolutely worth the drive! Parking is not easy on a Saturday early evening that's for sure! But once we got to the restaurant the parking fiasco was long forgotten after eating their amazing food. First we ate the nachos with steak, they had the perfect amount of cheese, beans, salsa and meat. and the meat was so tender and seasoned perfectly! I liked that there wasn't an overwhelming amount of other condiments thrown on top like some places do. My husband and I then got a shrimp quesalupa to split as well as a Colombian burger. I've eaten Colombian perros and burgers before but these are phenomenal! The bun is so good but the flavors from the salsa de ajo and salsa rosada with the pineapple just all come together perfectly! The shrimp quesalupa was soooo good. They do not skimp on the shrimp and the cheeses are soooo gooey and yummy..my son had a salchopapa con pollo and it comes with Pico de Gallo, chicken, salsa and if you want also the hot dog, on top of french fries with Colombian cheese. We definitely DEFINITELY will be returning! Just an FYI-gratuity IS added to the bill. But that didn't stop us from giving a tip as well for the amazing service from the beautiful young ladies...
Read moreA recent glow-up spot from the quickly famous food truck. Latino Bites continued their menu and boy does it hit the spot.
The location isn't the biggest and with 25% indoor seating it might come with a wait during peak hours but the cook times don't keep tables occupied too long. Attentive staff and an exposed kitchen give it an inclusive vibe that makes you feel your order is literally around the corner.
On our latest visit we ordered: -Arepa Skirt Steak Burger -Regular Skirt Steak Burger -Chicken Burger -Hawaiian Hot dog -Hawaiian de la Casa personal pizza pie -Chicken Salchipapas
All the ingredients were flavorful and fresh tasting. The skirt steaks, although not consulted for a cooking temperature were cooked perfectly to the point of melting upon biting. The chicken wasn't dry and all the topping were just right. The mouthful of flavor in every meal was satisfying but what took the cake was the pizza. Pineapple, mozz cheese, ham, bacon and guava stuffed crust raised the bar in Colombian street cuisine. I would go back for just this. For those who say fruit and pizza don't mix. Try again because you're wrong....
