Authentic Puerto Rican Cooking

My Story

Husband and wife, Misael and Sonda met in the bustling environment of an Outback Steakhouse back in 1997 Sonda, with her charismatic charm, managed the front of the house while Misael, with his culinary expertise, ruled the back of the house. Their shared passion for hospitality sparked a connection that transcended beyond their roles at the restaurant.

Fast forward to 2014, the couple decided to channel their collective expertise into a venture of their own – Latinos Restaurant, a place where the food makes people feel at home. This establishment is a testament to their shared vision of creating a unique dining experience that draws from their rich Latino heritage. Their journey from coworkers to life partners and now, business partners, is as inspiring as the flavors they serve at Latinos Restaurant.

Raised in the vibrant culture of Puerto Rico, Misael was blessed to grow up surrounded by the enticing aromas and flavors of his mother’s and grandmother’s authentic Puerto Rican cooking. Their recipes, passed down through generations, are the heart and soul of this family-owned, woman-owned, and Latino-owned restaurant.
