it food wasn’t bad but needed something else, some salsa, or hot sauce or anything to cut through the savouriness, I found it very one dimensional. The portions were small especially for the price. The place is lacking in atmosphere especially the bright lights. The coke was flat and our vegan diner was served feta on her arepa… They fixed it right straightaway though which was good, but….
Lovely atmosphere however the rest was extremely disappointing cinnamon in the red cabbage which does not go. The carrots were hard and flavoured the gravy was watery.. The green cabbage was heavy loaded with garlic overall the vegetables were not nice The roast potatoes were very nice and the beef was perfectly cooked over the vegetables were a complete letdown so overall give the Roast a 2 out of 10 just because of the meat and potatoes and gluten-free Yorkshire pudding
Absolutely amazing food and atmosphere! You can really taste the passion of Chef José, the jefe de cocina. The flavours are bold, authentic, and full of heart. Friendly staff, generous portions, and a true Latin American vibe. One of Bristol’s hidden gems — gracias, Chef José you are the Star! 🇻🇪🔥
We came here for gluten free arepas based on the find me gluten free app. The arepas were sublime, they were crispy on the outside, soft in the middle, with really tender meat and bursting with different flavours. We also had the plantain which was gorgeous with delicious dips. I will definitely eat here again for coeliac safe food.
Regarding the service and atmosphere, we weren’t expecting a blokey pub atmosphere which didn’t seem to go with the amazing food. There wasn’t anything inherently wrong with it but it wouldn’t be a place I would think to eat in as a woman, as it was full of men exclusively.
Came to the Dark Horse for a pint with a couple of friends on Sunday and decided to try the Sunday Roast from Casa Latina and it was excellent. Generous portion of beef with really tasty sides of veg, mash, Yorkshire pudding and gravy. We also ordered a cauliflower cheese to share which was great also. Can’t wait to come back and try the Arepas!
