Solid Latin spot with great energy! Food was outstanding—fresh ceviche (shrimp and fish perfectly marinated), flavorful lomo saltado (tender beef with that wok kick), and the seafood paella was packed with goodies and rich broth. Portions generous, everything tasted authentic and well-seasoned. Service was friendly and attentive—staff made good recs and kept drinks flowing. Atmosphere is cozy with plants and nice decor, but it can feel a bit standard/casual when crowded. Perfect for late-night bites or group hangs near Prudential Center!

We were a little confused by the name but eventually figured out LA stood for Latin America and what a treat this place was. We got two different kinds of tacos, ceviche mix to, fajitas, and a quesadilla along with guacamole and maduros. It was all absolutely amazing. Highly recommend for a delicious dinner at a great price.

This restaurant might not have a lot of reviews but it’s a hidden secret. The food is amazing!!!!Clean, bar, restaurant for all ages. My husband had the beef quesadillas. My daughter has a meat combo with white rice, beans, egg, avocado. I enjoyed the green spaghetti’s with grill steak. Yum!!! Large portions at a very affordable price! Terrific service! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this restaurant.

We have been here a few times already and the food hasn’t disappointed any time. There’s lots to chose from in the menu, from Ecuadorian, Peruvian and Mexican dishes. The staff is very welcoming and the service was great! Will be coming back to this restaurant for more

★★★★★ 5.0 Heather Peterson · Jun 2025

This spot hasn't been open very long, but it is AWESOME! Very safe neighborhood right by the courthouse and with security late in the evening. Open until 3am!! We had a bucket of beers which is easily the best value around and had the Ceviche Mixtos...shrimp and white fish with inca corn, sweet yam, cilantro, chili sauce, fried corn....it was a dream and the perfect fresh food for a warm Summer day!
