Los Andes Restaurant

I was hesitating coming here, but I was craving some Latin food. I used to frequent a Peruvian restaurant in Norwalk, and nothing of the same quality and price point comes to mind in Danbury. So, I took a chance and am so happy that I did... the server working spoke a little English, so that helped. I ordered the bistec encebollado, and it was fantastic! And they give you complimentary chips and salsa to start. It was a nice, quiet late lunch around 2 p.m. and for a $17 meal, it was worth it. On my second visit, I tried the caldo de gallina (chicken soup) omg, it was soo good, I came back the next day to get it again. I had a cold and it was perfect comfort food! And on another visit, I tried the caldo de pata. OMG. It was a fantastic dish! I'm hooked.

The tamales and pupusas are delicious! We also especially enjoyed the lomito saltado - a flavorful stir fry of onions, peppers, and beef, served with french fries and rice. We also ordered the chicken with vegetable soup - vegetables in a chicken broth served with half a roasted chicken. We were pleasantly surprised by the size of the tamales, and will enjoy one each for lunch tomorrow. We sat in a booth, which was helpful, as we were with our baby. It was a delight to show him food we only thought we could find in travel abroad! Muchas gracias!

Good and authentic food. Great local spot !

Don’t be fooled by the lack of ambiance in the dining room (plus the dinner crowd tends to show up on the later side) the food here is TOP NOTCH! Not only are all of the dishes interesting and well executed but the price is ridiculously low. If you’re looking for a high end restaurant “experience” this isn’t it. If you’re looking for a high end restaurant MENU this place delivers.

Great service and food was amazing! Very reasonably priced. Staff was very welcoming anf friendly. I will be back for sure!
