Best Latin American Restaurants in Capitol Hill / First Hill

we dined at Koko’s last night for the first time. We were very pleased with the happening vibe (felt a little “Miami”), friendly servers and delicious, flavorful food.  we loved ceviche, battered prawns, Poké bowl, chicken mole enchiladas were amazing. The margarita seemed a little light on tequila, but still very good. We will be back.

Had an incredible meal at Lenox. Me and 3 friends do a supper club once a month and this month’s restaurant choice was my pick. I chose Lenox. We all decided mid meal that this was the best place our group had been so far in 9 months of doing our supper club. By far. Everything we ate was fantastic. We got every single appetizer, and salad, as well as the Chicharron, pescado, and Bistec entrees to share. Also got the tostones and Habichuelas & Garlic Rice sides. The true standouts were the hush puppies, mofongo, the Caesar and asparagus à la parilla, and honestly all three entree were standouts as well. The vibe was super welcoming and the service was wonderful. At one point I spilled a tiny spot of food on my shirt, they saw, walked over and slipped me a tide to go pen to get out my spot. Elite move. Can’t speak highly enough about this place. Will definitely be back.

My wife, son and I went to the Twisted Cuban for Mother's day and received fantastic service, drinks and food at a reasonable price. We were introduced to some outstanding aged rum to share and were wowed by the casual vibe again. (We have been there in the past). In addition the great food my wife chose the restaurant due to its proximity to wine tasting in Woodinville. When I found out she chose the Twisted Cuban I was candidly excited due our positive experiences in the past. I can highly recommend the Lechon Asado (roast pork) and my wife loves the Filete de Pescado (pan seared fish). OK my mouth is watering thinking of the aside. ;-)
