Best Latin American Restaurants in St Matthews

We were excited to try this restaurant for date night with new owners and a new concept and it was WONDERFUL. Staff was very attentive and friendly, atmosphere is casual and fun, but feels intimate at the table. Food + drinks were the highlight- we loaded up on shareable (appetizers) and had the queso fundito, empanada, taco ceviche, and fried eggplant. There was nothing left on our plates :) Standout was the taco ceviche with tuna and queso fundito with chips. The empanada sauce was out of this world, too. Husband got the half chicken and said it was the best mole sauce he's ever had and I got the fried tempura branzino. A nice option is to pair the dinner plates with corn or flour tortillas to make tacos (do it!!) Dessert was delicious as well. I'd consider going back just to sit at the bar and have apps along with this amazing espresso vodka drink they made!! Definitely check out the reimagined Naive. We will be back!!

Our 1st experience at Seviche did not disappoint. Ben was our server and he gave us great recommendations. Everything we ordered was outstanding and Ben was very attentive without being overbearing. The tuna ceviche, bison empanadas, snapper and skirt steak were all perfectly prepared and full of flavor. Tres Leches cake with browned butter macadamia nut ice cream was the perfect dessert/birthday treat. (Thank you Ben ! ). We look forward to a return visit.

An amazing ambiance celebrating the Cuban culture! Started off with bread wrapped in newspaper depicting a print from the 1950’s. Guava butter and cilantro lime butter were offered. Both were delicious! Tried the shrimp ceviche that has a tomato base with thinly sliced red onion, and cilantro. It was very refreshing just as the waitress described. My husband ordered the Ropa Vieja en Lata and didn’t know it means “beef in a can”. It was served table side by a waiter that described the canning process and the titles meaning. He proceeded to open and serve the perfectly cooked beef along with white rice and fried plantains. I had the salmon Varadero served with yellow rice and fried plantains. I could not resist adding a side of black beans. Everything exceeded our expectations! The service was impeccable and we will be back!

Food and service was great!! There was live music too!
