Operating Hours: Various
It?s not quite Latin American fever that's hitting Singapore, but certainly the number of Latin American restaurants has been gradually on the increase over the past year or so. And we say ? hurrah to that!
From Brazilian, Mexican, to Argentinian, the older players have been joined by fresh young upstarts, infusing our dining scene with those sunny, laid back flavours.
So here we bring you our round up of our favourite Latin Amercian restaurants which we think you should say ?Ola!? to.
Brazil Churrasco
Dubbed the finest Brazilian steakhouse in Singapore, this place keeps true to the typical set up in a Brazilian steakhouse i.e. pay a set price (a very reasonable $45++ here) and the meat keeps coming until you can?t eat anymore. Expect incredibly delicious and succulent meat and a fantastic variety. Tempted? Check out our review here.
Brazil Churrasco is at 14 Sixth Avenue, 276476. Open daily 6pm ? 10.30pm. To make a reservation call 6463 1923.
J's (Purvis Street)
Just opened up on Purvis Street, 'J's' serves up a variety of alternative and traditional Latin cuisine such as Quesadillas, Adobo Chicken, Jalape?o poppers and the like. The dishes are surprisingly healthy- feeling, and most being served with fabulously fresh guacamole, salsa and sour cream. Excellent food, warm, welcoming staff, all at super reasonable prices. Full review coming soon...
J's is at 7 Purvis Street, 01-01, 188586. Open Monday - Friday 11.30am - 3pm and 6.30pm - 10pm, and Saturday 6.30pm - 11pm. Tel: 6887 4787.
Lucha Loco
Forget Americanized tacos with vast amounts of condiments ? it?s authentic Mexican street food which rules the roost at this Duxton joint that holds the spirit of a Mexican Taqueria. Think dishes packed out with fillings bursting with flavour and everything from octopus ceviche to toastaditas plus cracking drinks?their Mojitos are a must! Want to find out why else it had us going loco? See here.
Lucha Loco is at 15 Duxton Hill, 089598. Open Tuesday ? Thursday 4pm ? 11pm, Friday 4pm ? 1am and Saturday 6pm ? 1am.
SALTA Parilla
Going much beyond steak, which is a refreshing change when it comes to Argentinian restaurants, SALTA is also a great place to sample empanadas, Argentine salads, soups and much more - ?though of course the meat bursting with flavour is the main feature here. Want to find out more? Read our feature here.
SALTA Parilla is at Icon Village, 12 Gopeng Street #01-56, 078877. To make a reservation call: 6225 8443. Open Monday ? Saturday 11.30am ? 2.30pm and 6.30pm ? 10.30pm.
Senor Taco
With not one but four outlets now open here, this Mexican venture likes to show there?s life beyond just tacos and burritos with a varied and authentic menu. We were big fans of their Mexican brunch up at their Star Vista outlet but night owls be sure to check out their?Chjimes restaurant for a great dinner menu and an awesome tequila selection. Tempted by a Mexican brunch? Read our review here.
Senor Taco Chjimes is at 30 Victoria Street, 01-19/20. Open Sunday ? Thursday 6pm ? midnight and Friday ? Saturday 6pm ? 2am. Senor Taco Star Vista is at 1 Vista Exchange Green, 02-22, The Star Vista, 138617. Open Sunday ? Tuesday & Thursday 12pm ? 11pm, Wednesday 12pm ? 2am, and Friday 12pm ? midnight.
Viva Mexico
An older kid on the block, though we have to admit we are not huge fans of Cuppage Terrace, it has to be said that it?s worth heading there for a visit to Viva Mexico. Another place which comes up on our radar for tasty, pretty authentic Mexican fare ? with a true blue Mexican chef at the helm, this one had us pleasantly surprised and is a decent option if you?re craving some Mexican colour.
Viva Mexico is at 23 Cuppage Road, Cuppage Terrace. Open daily 12pm ? 2.30pm and 6pm ? 11.30pm. To make a reservation call 6681 6670.
Sur Nuevo Latin Kitchen
The newest kid on the block, Sur features flavours from around South America whipped up by two South American chefs no less, served up in an imtimate setting. Expect an interesting menu which includes everything from?crispy pork belly, a variety of ceviche, and some rather delicious desserts!
Sur Nuevo Latin Kitchen is at 13 North Canal Road, 01-01, 048826. Open Monday ? Friday 11.30am ? 3pm and 5.30pm ? 10.30pm and Saturday 5.30pm ? 10.30pm. To make a reservation call 6222 2897.
Well Nomads, this list is by no means exhaustive ? just our favourite picks. There are also other players on the scene worth checking out, including Baja Fresh Mexican Grill,?Piedra Negra and Caf? Iguana. But for now, we say, hasta luego!
