Los Latinos

Mexican$$

In semi-industrial Maidstone, Los Latinos is a Latin gem. Here the Funes de Murga family offer home-style dishes from their native El Salvador and beyond. Swoon over Colombian arepas, sunny yellow corn pockets stuffed with melty cheese, or tuck into El Salvadorian pupusas, maize flour pancakes enclosing fillings such as earthy black beans. Soft corn tortillas are made daily, perfect for enfolding smoky beef fajitas. Specials feature everything from Brazilian feijoada (black bean and pork stew) to a full Costa Rican breakfast. Service can be slow at peak times but the enthusiastic, genuine welcome more than makes up for it.
