Best Latin American Restaurants in Columbus Circle

If you love Cuban food, great drinks and live music every night you will love this place.

I knew the place would be intimate and was happy about that… I knew the food would likely be good and it was…. I knew the service would be good and Gabby lived up to what I expected and more! The night was cold but they should have made their clients comfortable … they kept the door closed but heat was needed. They should have heated the place up much more. They should have checked on us as we did not want to wear coats as others were doing at the bar. I wanted to recommend this place and still feel the food was worthy, but climate control and worrying about your customers should be primary.

Very friendly and efficient wait staff. Enjoyed the staff’s attitude and conversation. Excellent food — smoky rice and great special sauce made just for the restaurant. Fun dining experience!

Quiet spot very close to Highline and the Vessel. Food was very good. Reasonable prices. Service was excellent. Very friendly and attentive staff.

This is a very rare vegan recommendation for a Brazilian restaurant, but the Brazil-loving carnivorous friend I met for dinner at Rice x Beans was equally pleased. It was such a treat to enjoy a delicious, well balanced, and attractive meal without feeling like it was slapped together as a second tier consideration. The rice and beans are, in fact, delicious as were all the vegetables that came with them. Service was attentive and fast. A delightful evening altogether!
