Best Latin American Restaurants in Franklin Park

My experience was great music was good food was great loved it

We live in the neighborhood but we dined here after 2-4 years, came in with friends. The vibe & service were great. We opted for Piononos (which we all loved), Empanadas, Mole Y Leon, Pulpo, Shrimp Chicharron + Lomo Boliviano. I preferred Oaxaca Old Fashioned > After Me. Re: desserts, we concurred Pastel De Elote was better than Chocolate Tres Leches.

The food was absolutely amazing, the carne asada was literal perfection and so were the ropa vieja plantains, the cochinita pibil and the ceviche. They were able to accommodate our large party of 10 on short notice and the service was wonderful- thank you Chris!!!

Great food and great drinks. I got the cantina sunset mule. It was delicious. Also got the tuna. Did not expect that big of a piece for the price. 10/10 will be back.

Beautiful brunch experience! From the engaging details of PUBLICO that were thoughtfully designed on the 1st floor space to the cozy “red glass room” which created a fun ambiance. The Latin American brunch menu which my church friend, Jan ordered a delicious double crab cake benedict with perfectly cooked poached eggs and a drizzle of hollandaise sauce complimented with roasted potatoes. I thoroughly enjoyed my order of the El Americano — eggs made to order (chose perfectly scrambled eggs), with 3 meats of sliced ham, maple bacon and chorizo sausage link along with those great roasted potatoes. Yum!!! Will definitely be back to try the dinner menu. Also service was very attentive by manager, Sandra, because we arrived for a late brunch at 1:30pm-2pm so there was just a few other tables. I think it was so new only 3 months open that this place — AltaVida! is a best kept secret because they haven’t done any advertising or promotion that they’re open for weekend brunch yet.
