WOW, I freaking love this place!
Head here with a group as they had a Summerlicious menu ($25 dinner).
WARNING = DO NOT get the Summerlicious menu. It's shit. Just stick to the regular menu, in particular the tapas. Incredible! My friend and I stuffed ourselves silly for $35. The other diners in our party had the Summerlicious menu for $25 each and their food looked very disappointing (super small portions).
Anyway, this place is quite tiny and seats maybe 30 people plus another 10 on the front patio. The atmosphere at Latinada was great, it was just like being in some kind of hole-in-the-wall restaurant you would discover backpacking through Central America. Latin serving staff and most of the patrons seemed to be Hispanic.
We tried:
Pico de Gallo ($4) - absolute bargain, came with a big basket of fresh tortillas.
Fish Ceviche ($17) - quite different than most ceviches I've tried but really amazing. Large pieces of fish (rather than the usual small cubes) mixed with red onions. It had kick.
Grilled Calamari ($9) - Another good dish
Beef Empanada ($5) - Large and served with salad, this was another winner. Not greasy whatsoever and the meat was nicely cooked.
They had some really reasonably priced cocktails too (margaritas, mojitos, etc).
Live Cuban Jazz band came on at 9pm. Amazing how they fit a 5 piece band into this tiny place.
Come here for the atmosphere, it's truly unique. Just skip the Summerlicious menu.
