Best Latin American Restaurants in Encino

I love this place! I’ve been here on a Tuesday and on a Friday and I’m just as impressed! Drinks are just right!!

An amazing experience from start to finish! The hostess greeted us warmly and set the tone for a great afternoon. Our server, Ryan (I believe that was his name), was fantastic—super friendly and attentive. He gave us excellent suggestions, which made our experience even better. The food was incredible! The nachos were out of this world—definitely some of the best I’ve ever had. Our drinks were equally impressive. I had a cocktail that was perfectly crafted, and my friend opted for a mocktail, which was just as delicious. On top of all that, the views were absolutely stunning, making the ambiance truly unforgettable. Overall, it was a great experience, and I can’t wait to return! Highly recommend.

We had an amazing dining experience at El Compadre! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm and inviting. Our waiter was outstanding—friendly, attentive, and quick to recommend some of their best dishes and drinks. Speaking of drinks, they were so much fun! Don’t miss the flaming margarita! Everything was perfectly crafted and added to the festive vibe of the evening. The food? Absolutely delicious. Every bite was packed with flavor, from the fresh guacamole to the perfectly seasoned tacos and enchiladas. You can tell they use high-quality ingredients and put a lot of care into their dishes. To top it all off, the prices were incredibly reasonable for the quality and portions. It’s rare to find a place where you get this level of service, taste, and value all in one. I can’t wait to go back when we visit LA again! Highly recommend El Compadre for a fantastic Mexican dining experience.

Food was fine. Nothing wrong, just a bit bland. Makes sense for this location - touristy. Service was outstanding. Busboy made extra efforts to keep us warm by repositioning the heat lamps and refilling them with propane. Nice touch.

Joe was amazing🙏🙏 . The food was super good. Erica was our server. She’s a sweetheart, but Joe OMG amazing.🎄🎄
