Latina Kitchen - Needham

I found out about this place because it was listed on Dine Out Boston. However, we did not end up going with the Dine Out menu and ordered from their regular menu because of variety. It was very delicious. The restaurant was pretty empty when we arrived at around 6:30pm on a Wednesday, so service was attentive, friendly, and quick.

Latina Kitchen Bar has been on my 'to visit ' list for months, and I finally made it happen. When I walked in, the place was fairly empty, and I was greeted by a guy who was kind and gave me seating options; I chose the bar. Upon walking up to the bar, the bartender/server stared me down and when I said, hello! he didn 't respond. Not my preferred interaction given he would be the person that takes my order, but okay. Benefit of the doubt was given. I sat down and he approached me with no words and looked at me as if he wanted me to immediately tell him what I wanted without looking at the menu. Hmm. I let him know that I needed time to decide and once I did, I place an order for a drink pineapple something (wasn 't good and lacked flavor except the Bacardi), cheese board (appreciated the cheese options and tasty jam), rotisserie chicken with mashed sweet potatoes (didn 't consume it all due to preparation of the meat and watery substance meshing with items on the plate). Of my entire experience, the server checked in once. By that point, I was nearly finished. The restaurant overall seemed homey, which I like and gets a lot of natural light, depending on where you sit. As for returning. . . I am on the fence.

The shrimp and lobster ceviche was dressed and seasoned perfectly! Absolutely delicious! Cadillac margarita, plantain chips and yucca fries were spot on. Highly recommend, will definitely be back!
