Best Modern Latin American Restaurants in Aruba

Fabulous dining experience! Waited about 10 minutes past our reservation time to be seated. But once we were, it was fantastic! Nicholas was our server & he was great…attentive, informative about the menu, but gave us space to relax & enjoy our meal. Drinks were fantastic, appetizer (roasted feta) was a lovely prelude, entrees were on point (short rib and rotisserie chicken), desserts were delicious (crème brûlée & pineapple sago) and the after-dinner salted caramel espresso martini was the icing on the cake! Plus Thursday at 9:30 starts 2-for-1 happy hour! We loved it so much were dining there again w/i 24 hours as we must bid Aruba adieu for now.

Incredible! So happy with this find after doing some research for places to eat in the Oranjestad/PalmBeach area. Service was phenomenal with the manager personally going to every table to say hi and thank everyone for being there. Honestly could not choose what to have for my meal and want to go back just to try more options. The market ceviche, mahi mahi and tuna steak were all a 10/10 with plentiful sides for a perfect meal. Would highly recommend to anyone coming to Aruba!!

CAYA was absolutely amazing. The chef’s creations are incredibly unique and delightful. We started off with the virgin mule and forbidden tea mocktails - which were both FANTASTIC. Then we were given 2 rolls with a creamy dip as a complementary item to start. These were honestly my favorite and tasted AMAZING. This set us up for huge expectations for the rest of the meal and they were definitely met. HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND. Appetizers: Shrimp cocktail tacos AMAZING Tuna Tartar AMAZING Chicken Empanaditas AMAZING! Entree: Duck Breast WOWWWW these came with homemade raviolis in a better sauce and were browned to perfection. Braised Lamb Shank VERY TASTY. came with polenta, roasted veggies. A very rich dish but simply wonderful.
