La Latina - Chatswood

La Latina is a Hidden gem. On the side streets opposite Chatswood chase, we walked past this joint for years wondering whether the food would be good. One day we decided to give it a go and it was a decision we did not regret. We had the ricotta and pecorino empanada which was super crunchy, light and almost addictive with the vinegarette! We would go back just for this ???? The chicken and potato empanada was crunchy and more substantial. We prefer the cheese variant. We also had the monster arepas, this lives by its name. A crispy corn pocket filled with pulled pork, pulled beef, chorizo, sour cream and cheese. The portion was so big I only ended up finishing half of it. It also got a bit too sweet half way through so would be a nice share dish if it could be halved. We finished off our meal with a refreshing feijoa juice and it bought back fond childhood memories of the feijoa tree my siblings and I used to fight over ???? We'd definitely be back for some more cheese empanadas! ☺️

Had heard a lot about this place. Did not get time when I visited Sydney last time in June. I was dying to eat here this time. The restaurant surpassed all the air around it. Had the Make Your Own Arepas - Chicken & Avacado, Smoked Shredded Pork, Plantain n Fried Egg. Nothing gets better than this. Probably the Plantain was bit sweet, but I think I shouldnt have chosen knowing it is sweet.

This cafe has delicious and authentic Colombian food. The arepas are very filling and great value for money. You can get one off the menu or make your own. The cafe is small and does not have air conditioning so can get really hot on a warm summer day.

Very refreshing to try some new flavours. Friendly service. Had tamales and cheesy corn bread which were delicious. The fried plantains were satisfyingly crispy and chewy at the same time, and paired well with the fresh avocado. Have yet to try the arepas. Will be back.
