My family and I are regulars here, and we can’t say enough about how delicious the food is. Everything is always fresh and flavorful. The staff is incredibly kind and professional, which makes the experience even better. We will definitely continue to be regulars!

not a lot of space but man do i hope they expand! we had GREAT food here and I would take a trip down all the way from ny (we’re like 30-40 min away haha) for this- especially catering!!! my friends and i all got different tacos and main dishes (one even got the lunch special without realizing all the accompaniments wow). Food came out hot and delicious after a small wait and it was worth it. Price was great for the portion size; no one could finish their food lol! The appetizer-y options were great to snack on, I brought yuca home bc I couldn’t leave without it (EXCELLENT decision) and if i hadn’t been embarrassed i probably would’ve indulged in the half or whole roasted chickens too! I miss those from when I was in south america! stellar establishment- as soon as im down there again, ill

The food is delicious at Eli’s Latin Kitchen. My family always loves their chicken, black beans and empanadas! We are so happy Eli opened his restaurant!

Lovely owner & super flavorful food! Portions are large and very filling even for take out, the pernil or pork is amazing so savory and juicy! Let’s talk about prices, they’re beyond affordable! I truly love this place the owner really puts care & love into his food. You’ll want more if you try this spot out!

5 stars all around! Great food, amazing service, and it’s all authentic. Eli and his crew do an outstanding job, I highly recommend trying their empanadas.
