The extensive menu has numerous options from Portuguese, Spanish and Italian dishes; of which I chose Chistorra as my appetizer and Seafood Nostra as my main. The Chistorra was served in a little iron pan with shrimp, sausage and mushrooms in a spicy brown sauce which was delicious. The Seafood Nostra was a nice blend of traditional seafood and linguine with a tasty tomato sauce. To top it off, Tiramisu which was a smaller slice, but was quite good too. Unfortunately the service was a bit cold and a little slow, but the food made up for it.

The food is consistently incredible, packed with flavor, and you can tell how much care goes into everything they serve. If their chorizo clam chowder is available as a soup special, DO NOT MISS IT. It is genuinely one of the best soups we've ever had. Their chicken empanadas are the best around, and definitely ask for some chimichurri on the side! Some of our other favorites are the churrasco chimichurri steak, fajitas, and the BBQ ribs. The sauce on the ribs is delicious! We've brought so many friends and family members here, and every single person leaves raving about the food, the flavors, and how kind and welcoming everyone is. Carlos, the owner, is truly a gem, and his entire staff is amazing. Don't forget to end dinner with dessert! We always have a hard time choosing between the fried ice cream and the churros. We absolutely love LFG and look forward to seeing their specials every week. If you're in the area, Latino Flavor Grille should be an absolute MUST on your list. You will not be disappointed!

One of Manahawkin's best kept secrets, Latino Flavor Grille!!…read moreWe stopped in last night for dinner, ordered fajitas. My friend ordered seafood fajitas, and I ordered steak fajitas. We were greeted by a delightful server, Astrid! I'm not big on rice or vegetables so I made a few changes to the menu. Chef stopped at my table to be certain he had my order correct. We began with guacamole and chips. Probably the best guacamole I have ever had in my life and that includes guacamole I had in Mexico. I can't remember when I have had better fajitas. The steak was cooked to absolute perfection. My friend who ordered seafood fajitas... The shrimp looked amazing and she was thrilled. You're able to order half bottle or a full bottle of wine and this is a new feature! As a local, I realize many of the other locals have found this little gem of a Latino restaurant, fantastic!! This is now on my restaurant rotation as, sad to say, there are very few restaurants in Manahawkin that are worth a revisit. This is definitely one that should be visited, often!!

First time at a Colombian restaurant with a couple friends who like to explore a different foods…read more We tried empanadas, chorizo, and then got a large meat platter, which had steak, chicken, pork and chorizo along with french fries and baked ground potatoes, it was four people, and the three of us could not finish it, and would feed5. Overall, the food was OK, the presentation of the fish at another table looked very nice, but the style of food is not really seasoned and so it's a relatively non-gastronomic meal but you leave feeling full. Maybe I expected more because I like Mexican and Thai food, but went into it with an open mind. It was clear that a lot of local Latinas went there, and that is a good sign that it fits the cultural expectation. So if you are Latina and know what to expect it is a good restaurant to try

I'm always on a hunt for delicious food. So, after researching food options in the area, I was led…read moreto Pepes. I took a ride over to check the place out. It's a small white building that is nestled into a neighborhood that is easy to pass by if you aren't paying attention. Upon walking in, I was met by a woman who told me she would take my order in a min. I was happy with that response bc I needed time to check out the empanadas and Chicharrhon I spotted immediately. After a short wait, I went with what I recognized immediately. I asked for a chicken and cheese empanada, plus Chicharron platter with yellow rice and beans. You do have the option to have your beans on the side or included in your container. I opted to have mine on the side. After a short wait, I was handed a bag with my items. I immediately ran to the car and opened the platter. I had to try the chicharron. I absolutely LOVED the flavor and crispy pork skin. The meat was tender underneath the skin and had a light salty taste that reminded me of my last trip to D.R. I drove home and couldn't wait to eat everything else. The rice was fluffy and cooked perfectly. Now, the beans.....THE BEANS MADE ME HAVE A SEAT!!! I don't know what the chef/cook uses to make the beans, but all I can say is the beans were by far some of the best I have had in a very long time. The flavor, temperature, etc. was so spot on. If you couldn't tell already, I plan to return to Pepes in the immediate future to see what other deliciousness awaits me.

Kind of felt the need to put that out there, it's not really a suburban location. That said, echoing some of the others I'm reading snippets of, WOW to everything - the service, the food, the ambiance. It's got charm when you walk in, looks old but not dated. The waitstaff is super friendly, has some jokes, multi-talented (they brought out the guitar a few times to wish some other folks happy birthday), and knowledgeable. The food is really good - everything I tried was just delicious. For the table, we ordered some calamari and empanadas, and both were good. Drinks were also tasty - that sangria was really good, and the mojito (love that they had it available, first of all!) was also a hit. I would double-click on that sangria, though. For my entree, I ordered their whole fish, which was not only delicious but HUGE. I ate about half of it and was full. Then my friend and I split an order of limoncello cake (I think that's what it was), which was on point, and ended w/ espresso, also good. Overall, everything about that place was great, and when I mentioned a Spanish place in Trenton the next morning to some guys I was with, one of them asked, was it Malaga? That was just another great review, for a local guy to know what I was talking about just by description. Bravo, I think some of us may be back sometime!

That lobster was fresh, tender, and actually cooked right, not rubbery like you get in a lot of places. Service was dialed in without being overbearing.

Walked out full and already thinking about coming back. Definitely a spot I'd bring people to when I want to impress without overthinking it.

This was our third visit to El Familiar. Today was Father's Day 2026…read more First, my daughter had made reservations for 15. They didn't hesitate. We showed up at 12:30 pm. We were seated almost immediately. The restaurant had just a few tables occupied. The restaurant was clean, quiet and our seating was spacious. We were promptly attended to. Second, we were given a Father's Day menu which was a very abbreviated version of their usual menu. Our server was quick to point out that if there was anything we wanted that was on the normal menu that we remembered, all we had to do was ask. We were delighted. We placed our drink orders. We were given plenty of time to review the menu and discuss what else we might want from the regular menu. We placed our orders. The wait for our meals was commensurate with the number of people. The food arrived piping hot. Everyone was served within minutes. The food was absolutely delicious and the portions enormous. I ordered 2 appetizers thinking they were going to be reasonable. I fed most of the table while still having enough for myself. Needless to say, to-go containers were necessary. Last, I want to say again that this was my and my wife's third visit. Each time we were served and attended to by Danna (?). I can't say enough positive things about her. She was attentive, friendly, warm, patient and very happy and helpful. She was very accepting even though I was doing my best with my high school Spanish. For my wife and me, I will ask for Danna to be our server and will be as much of a regular patron as possible. I would highly recommend El Familiar. You can't beat the ambiance, food quality and service.
