This has the worst Latino food in town. All the fried foods in display were burnt and overpriced. Definately not the prices they have quoted online. I went to try it out and had the worst experience. The server an older Gentleman and the entire staff were rude and outright unacceptable. I had ordered, gave my card to pay and the Gentleman overcharged me. When i asked what was the price in reference to he didnt not respond and went back to the credit card machine. When I saw him swipe my card Multiple time and hold multiple receipts and kept going, I asked him why was he doing that. He looked and me, didnt respond and continued to do what he was doing. At this point i checked my online banking and seen he had processed that transaction 4 times. I called him over and showed him my statement and said i didnt want the food and it has been over 20 minutes and I had to go back to work. So he began to say this isnt a Walmart and refused to give me my card. Once i demanded my card at least 10 times he gave it back. I had to call my bank and explain what happened so they could cancel all of those transactions which they never reversed by the way.. WORST EXPERIENCE EVER!! Below is a picture of a Burned Relleno de Papa they are selling

Went today for lunch with 2 friends who were from Puerto Rico. Both of them swear by this place and regularly take their families there. I must say the portions are GIGANTIC!!! I had yellow rice with beef stew and shredded pork. A medium plate is enough food for 2 normal people. The gluttonous pig that I am I devoured my medium plate all by myself. Seriously for $25 you can feed an entire family of 4 people. The meat just melts in your mouth. The food is NOT Americanized as it is at a lot of ethnic restaurants. Authentic taste verified by 2 of my friends from Puerto Rico.

A hidden treasure in Rochester, El Latino provides Spanish home cooking like no place else Ive been. For ten bucks, you get a mountain of food that has been prepared by someone that cares about what they are doing. I recommend that people get adventurous and try some of the dishes they dont recognize because those tend to taste the best. I prefer to get take out because Im not that comfortable eating in the limited dining area. Do yourself a favour and stop here on your way home to pick up dinner.

OMG - since moving to the US from the UK, trying find awesome roast pork, with the perfect crackling (skin) had seen fruitless - but wow the roast pork shoulder at El Latino is just sublime... Make sure you ask for some "skin". And its the only place Ive found offering true braised Ox tail... Their portion sizes are crazy. I went for the Large with two meats - enough food for me and the wife and the kid!!! Will be back. Shame I live in Houston. Try it!

Fantastic! Theres nothing fancy about this place, but that only adds to the charm. Its a small place with cafeteria-style service. A large is a lot of food, but will give you big servings of 2 meats, a huge pile of rice and beans, and salad for $10. I ordered the ox-tail and the pork shoulder. Both were cooked excellently. If you order the pork shoulder, be sure to ask for some skin. The crispy, salty skin was great!

Love this place! Home-cooked & plentiful food, w friendly seating at long tables. So cool to find a bit of Latin & the Caribbean in Rochester- colorful paint, small, homey, & very clean! Supporting our local businesses is a lot more fun & satisfying than chain restaurants. Thank you to our immigrants for bringing so much great stuff to our culture!

Totally Authentic Latin Staples made in a scratch kitchen. I had the Brased Ox Tail, it was Awesome! They have a ready made counter if you are in a hurry or a full menu to order from. The quanty and quality of food for the price can not be beat. If you are in the area, do yourself a favor and dont pass this place up.

El Latino is by far, the very best authentic Latin American cuisine offered in the Rochester area. My Auntie and I love to go there when we feel like a special treat, like crispy pork belly skin. The best part is, we feel like family when we are there. Blessings to that wonderful family that runs El Latino. Nice work!

Delicious braised ox tail, yellow rice is awesome though not very spicy, cabbage is a must, and the ribs were good too. Grabbed some food here on a whim, and was SO glad I did. Friendly staff, and super flavorful foods. The pork shoulder looked amazing, when Im back in town, I will definitely be back.

Absolutely delicious. Huge portions!! Everything is ready made and behind glass. For 9.75 you get rice, beans, 2 meat entrees and a salad.....this is enough food for 2 people easily. Empanadas are GREAT and only $1.35. Quick, easy, cheap, and delicious!

The best pork roast in town, however customer service ruins it all. Apparently they dont realize how much money a family of four can increment their overall profits in a year. Please take a couple of business courses so you can improve you business!

I had Roasted Pork shoulder which had the crispiest skin on earth. This place is an ultra hidden gem. Dont be fooled by the "fast food" like atmosphere and the decor inside. These folks are serious about the comfort food from their country.

Amazing...plane and simple. The staff is friendly and more than willing to go the extra mile to make you happy and satisfied. I will not eat at another Spanish cuisine as long as this place is still in business.
