    Had a privilege to come visit and try a plate of delicious meal today! Since I am vegetarian, I asked the vegetarian plate and the lady staff gave me three different type of beans (black beans, red beans and lentils), plantains and rice! Oh man, those beans were really delicious and I enjoyed everything, especially lentils were hitting the spot big time! :) I like the vibe of this place and many visitors there seemed to enjoy their dishes! :) I would love to come back for my second plate soon Keep up the great work and thank you for the opportunity for us to try them! :) Cheers 🥂

    A small and clean restaurant with cozy vibe. They sell family-style food which was heart-warming. I had the lunch menu - beef stew, sweet plantains, tostones, and black beans. The portion was just right for one person. The beef stew was delicious. The meat portion was generous, and the meat was tender. The sweet plantains and tostones were fried fresh and served hot. Tostones were salted which made a good contrast on my plate. Black beans were soft and yummy. I would hope to have less black bean sauce on my plate because it caused my tostones to turn soft. I also had the mofongo as appetizer. The fried plantain was dense thus it filled up the stomach fast. It would be good to share this appetizer. There were small pieces of deep fried crispy pork in the mofongo, and the sauce went well with the dish. I would come back here again if I am in the area.

    Jonathan (owner and executive chef) and his other chefs make AMAZING food!!! This is a family owned local business & his wife Leah is from Moldova 🇲🇩. Even their young daughter is a little helper! Leah & Jonathan are sooo sweet and caring for their customers and they checked in on our meal many times. The food is so fresh and tasty. It doesn’t get better than this. The all day lunch special for $12 is such an excellent deal because you get a lot of food in the box! When we remarked something small to Jonathan about our patacones, he immediately made us fresh ones!! 🥹 The only suggestion I have is to use more eco friendly to go boxes & cutlery, because it’s a lot of plastic. 10/10 recommend this restaurant to anyone who wants fast, fresh & friendly Latin food.

    really great place for fast service (e.g. chipotle, cava, freebirds) so many of the sides were top notch but the pork ribs + empanadas were DIVINE do give this new mom and pop business a try if you're looking for a quick and amazing bite!!

    Latin Express provides an exceptional dining experience, offering delectable Latin cuisine conveniently suited for those on the go. The food itself is nothing short of excellent, delighting taste buds with its authentic flavors and culinary mastery. Whether you choose to savor your meal in the cozy ambiance of their seating area or opt for a quick grab-and-go, the overall atmosphere is simply delightful. Moreover, their fresh squeeze juices deserve a special mention - they are truly heavenly and worth every sip. We extend our deepest appreciation for the remarkable experience and the evident passion poured into the preparation of each dish. Without a doubt, Latin Express has earned a loyal customer in me, as I eagerly anticipate my next visit to indulge in their exceptional offerings once again.

    Some of the best service I’ve ever had in my life! Jonathan is super friendly and very sweet. We got a couple things (carne asado, pork, plátano maduro y frito, and yuca frita) and everything tasted delicious. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who is craving Latin food!

    Delicious Ecuadorian food. I ordered the lunch special. It's served with traditional chicken soup. Great price and authentic flavor. Staff is friendly and made me feel like I was back in Ecuador. This place is definitely getting added to my rotation of restaurants to visit frequently.

    My husband is Ecuadorian and we have been looking for an Ecuadorian restaurant here in Houston. We found this place online and the food was great! We ordered the encebollado, camarones al ajillo & a Bandera. Great service, great atmosphere, great cooks. I wish people would be more open to this food.

    I visited my girlfriend’s family in Ecuador last year and I can confirm that the shrimp ceviche is as authentic as it gets. We also tried the big platter that had multiple meats and plantains on them and I recommend anything with the Ecuadorian chorizo they have here. Really friendly and attentive service, incredibly fresh food. A local place you’ll definitely want to try and support. 100% will be going back!

😐 Visited on a Sunday night for the first time and was not a very good experience. I’ve gone on weekdays and those times were good. It must be that Sunday was pretty busy but the service was not good. The teens at the front desk were very rude and caught one flirting with a customer and giving out the...
