I like coming here, but it’s not pleasant having the waitresses try to flirt with your husband all the time; we’re Puerto Rican and I know they like our accent, but I think a polite comment is enough.

I genuinely have never had an issue with this place since I’ve been going here since I was a kid. But today my mother brought me food home from the restaurant. She ordered around 9-9:30pm on Wednesday April 22. This is fully burnt. Both pieces were and it’s not eatable. First I thought it was only the sauce that was the issue because 2 out the 4 came empty how the top one in the picture shows. I was like okay no big deal. But now I go to the meat portion of the meal and it’s really dark. I’m like oh maybe it’s not that burnt. It was completely burnt tasting. It was like eating charcoal. Mind you I tried to eat a whole piece before having to write this, so yes it was horrible to eat the whole meal.For the price of $32 dollars it’s very upsetting. Mostly that my mother brought me this with great intentions for the cook to cook something so horrible and disgusting. Again I’ve eaten here countless times. Truly thought after years of not going it would be better. But definitely never eating out from here again. Take this as a caution when ordering to go from here. Might get ur food burnt and skimmed out on sauces.

Hi Kam! Thank you for being such a loyal customer. It truly means the world to us. I am deeply sorry that we let you and your mother down last night. Serving a meal that was burnt and missing sauces is completely unacceptable and does not reflect our standards.<br>We would like to make this right immediately. I am issuing a full refund for your order, and I would also love to invite you both back for a complimentary dinner on us so we can provide the high-quality experience you’ve known for years.<br>Please reach out to us at info@saborlatinony.com so we can coordinate the refund and personally arrange your next visit. We value your support and hope to have the chance to earn your trust back.<br>Best regards,<br>-Juan I.<br>
It has been many years since I've been to labor Latino, however I will never forget how delicious the food was my sister and I where there frequently. That was back in very early 2000's. I have moved out of state since and need to visit again very soon. I am so glad to see them still open after all these years. They always treated us so good and the food is unforgettable.

Response from the owner
Nathalie, thank you so much for praising Laura and Mariana's incredible service!
I went with my family for Christmas Eve dinner. It was fine. They seemed to be busy getting the place ready for a party that was starting later in the night so they seemed a little distracted. They forgot some of the things we ordered but eventually brought them. The food was good, but while I enjoyed the fish some of my family members were left underwhelmed with the portions and the taste. The place was clean and not too loud. I might go back on a day that isn't too busy to give it another try.

Kimberly, thank you so much for the rating and for appreciating our waiter and great service! We hope to see you here again soon!
I was here in this location for a salsa event. I would just say next time to be more realistic of advertising the start of the event. My partner and our friends waited about 4-5 hours for the event to start. I know things happen but if you’re going to state that something is going to begin at xyz time, be honest about it. The advertised times were very misleading.
Response from the owner
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re truly sorry for the delay and understand how frustrating it can be to wait that long. Sometimes event schedules are affected by technical or artist-related factors, but we agree that we should communicate any changes more clearly. Your comment is very valuable, and we’ll make sure to improve the accuracy of our event information moving forward. We hope you’ll give us another chance to offer you a better experience next time.
First time attending an event. The location had two events which made it confusing as to which line was the right one. After clearing that up we went inside. We arrived a little after 11pm and were able to secure a table. At this point I had asked the server if there was a requirement to buy a bottle in order to stay seated. For other events, yes; it is typically a standard but not for the current event. After ordering 2 sets of beers which included 6 cans each. We were charged 2 different prices along with a list of different fees. There was a card fee, a mandatory 15% gratuity, tax, and there was something else. At the end we had to pay $109 for 2 sets (i paid with card, its a little less for cash). As the night progressed the price for the sets of beer increased again! This time time instead of the paying under $52 it was now close to $70. Its a pretty shady thing to do if you ask me. Been to plenty of bars and that isn't a thing, the later you order the more the price increases....this isn't the damn stock market 😒. The performances started at 2am and ended at 4am. I was expecting to be done by 2am. Which might have been something they didnt have control of. But I will say the sound quality did get worst at the end. I am sure other people could care less since many were drunk but nonetheless it wasn't good. The highlight of the night was the staff! They were actually very attentive, was very surprised. Staff hands down were great! Overall i did have a good time. Drinks kept coming for my group and i kept dancing, so the night was successful. For the future be mindful that arriving after 11pm is a gamble for securing a table and carrying cash is probably ideal, keeps you from paying that additional card fee.

I came here for a birthday celebration. It's not really the kind of Restaurant I go to, that being said, it's a nice place. I like the decor of the place. The space is big with a space to dance and a stage. It has murals that are good to take photos at. The food is mainly Ecuadorian. The prices on the food are good. They have a full bar. I didn't drink so I don't know how the prices on drinks are. After we sat down, we waited quite a long time before our order was taken. However once we ordered, it didn't take long to get our food. The place gives off a party atmosphere, which is fine but I wouldn't choose it for a casual lunch or to just go have a few drinks but that's just me. Both those things can be done here. If I were invited to another celebration or get together, I would attend.

Nice place, great food, nice people, variety of food, quality, temperature and speed, make this a good place to go dinner, lunch, even breakfast. I would eat there every day. I've visiting different locations from the chain and they are all 100% from what you eat, to the way you are treated. They also have DJ and live performances, bringing international artists at this location. No doubt I will go back.
