Which are the best dishes in Latin America?

In every corner of Latin America, food is more than just a necessity, it is a cultural expression rooted in the history and heart of its people. Every bite tells a unique story.

With fresh ingredients and ancestral techniques, these dishes transmit the legacy of generations and the passion for cooking. Let’s explore the best flavors they have to offer.

Empanadas : Argentina

Argentine empanadas are a Latin food delicacy recognized worldwide. These small stuffed dough pockets are a classic of Argentinean cuisine.

Fillings vary widely, from classic juicy meat with onions and spices, to vegetarian options such as spinach and cheese. Likewise, each Argentine province has its own version of empanadas, with characteristic flavors and styles.

That is why, in order to distinguish them, Argentines have developed an infallible technique: the way the empanada is closed can reveal what is inside. For example, a straight crimp closure indicates beef, while a braid closure usually indicates ham and cheese.

Empanadas are much more than a simple appetizer; they are a symbol of family and friendly gatherings.

Tacos and nachos : Mexico

Tacos are small corn or flour tortillas filled. There is a wide variety of ingredients such as carne asada, carnitas, chicken, fish or even vegetarian options.

Nachos are delicious, crunchy corn tortillas topped with crunchy corn tortillas. They are eaten with different types of toppings, such as melted cheese, beans, guacamole, jalapeños and sour cream. You can even enjoy them with ceviche, a truly unique specialty of the Ojos Locos Sport Cantina of Hotel Jefe.

Both dishes embody the essence of Mexican cuisine, with its authenticity, warmth and the perfect combination of ingredients that delight the senses. Whether on the street, in a restaurant or in the comfort of home, these iconic Latin dishes bring people together around a shared passion for good food and tradition.

Cebiche : Peru

Peruvian cebiche consists of raw fish marinated in lime juice, mixed with chili, red onion, cilantro and salt. The citrusy cebiche delicately “cooks” the fish, giving it a soft and juicy texture. The result is an explosion of flavor that combines the sweetness of the seafood with the spiciness of the chili bell pepper.

Peruvian cebiche can be prepared with a wide range of garnishes. In Lima, Chimbote and Trujillo it is served with corn, cancha serrana, boiled sweet potato, yuyo and lettuce leaves. In Tumbes, Piura and Chiclayo it is accompanied with zarandajas, chifles and boiled yucca , while in Sullana it is served with water crackers.

Here at the Sport Cantina de Ojos Locos you can try it with some delicious tacos, or accompanied by some crunchy nachos. Two unique varieties of the best Latin American dishes of our specialty. Discover the charm of Latin food in the heart of the desert.

Arepas : Venezuela and Colombia

Arepas are a gastronomic treasure shared by Venezuela and Colombia. These delicacies made from pre-cooked corn dough are versatile and tasty.

Crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. They can be filled with a variety of ingredients such as cheese, shredded beef, black beans, or pork leg. And accompanied by various garnishes, such as hogao (a delicious tomato and onion sauce), chorizo or avocado.

These small delicacies of Latin food transcend borders and are a clear sign of the cultural union of the region. No matter how they are served, arepas always manage to steal the hearts of those who try them.
