Best Latin American Restaurants in Huntington Beach

Made reservations and sat outside. It was a little disappointing as it wasn't a lively atmosphere as inside. There wasn't any holiday sparkle anywhere. We enjoyed ourselves and would recommend, but there was something missing as my friends were there for the first time. Food was very good.

We had an absolutely fantastic experience at Habana! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere great and inviting, with a perfect balance of fun energy and sophistication. The food was exceptional—every dish was bursting with flavor and beautifully presented. What truly made our visit unforgettable, though, was our server, Beto. They were incredibly attentive without being overbearing and made us feel so welcomed. His friendly demeanor and attention to detail made my husband's birthday celebration seamless and enjoyable. I can’t recommend Habana enough, and I’ll definitely be back. Thank you to the entire team for such a wonderful experience!

Wow, what an incredible lunch experience at RAYA! First off, I have to rave about the service - everyone from the host to our servers made our first day at the Ritz Laguna so special. The staff was incredibly attentive and friendly, taking time to walk us through the menu and make great recommendations. You can tell they really care about making sure you have the best experience possible. The food was absolutely outstanding! We started with their guacamole with spicy crab which is a must-try - trust me, it's not your regular guac! The skirt steak was cooked perfectly and so flavorful, and those truffle fries on the side were addictively good. I went for the seafood enchiladas which were incredible, packed with fresh seafood. Even the kids' menu impressed us - my daughter loved her mac and cheese (and she's pretty picky!). The passion fruit mojitos were fantastic too - super refreshing and not too sweet. Perfect for a lunch with that amazing ocean view! The menu has tons of variety, and based on everything we tried, you really can't go wrong with whatever you choose. The staff's knowledge of every dish really helped us make great choices. We loved our lunch experience so much that we already booked dinner reservations for later this week! If you're staying at the Ritz or just in the area, definitely make RAYA a priority. The combination of incredible food, amazing service, and beautiful setting made it a highlight of our first day here. Worth every penny for such a special dining experience!

A last minute booking for an early Thanksgiving dinner for two revealed a culinary revelation. Within a smartly designed space tucked inside of the Kimpton Shorebreak Huntington Beach Resort this restaurant belongs among some of the very best in Southern California, if not the entire country. A prix fix Thanksgiving dinner complete with the usual suspects, Turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, etc., is just not supposed to satisfy a discerning foodie on this level. The beautiful presentation (think Norman Rockwell) was exceeded by, to put it simply, perfect food, ably served by the charming staff. Congratulations and thanks for a great meal. We’ll be back.
