Casa Latina is a superb South American restaurant to use if you wish to sample new tastes and flavours in KL. We started with three delicious corn flour arepas (pulled beef, cheese and finally chicken mayo with avacado). Accompanied by a wonderfully tasty fish soupcooked in a bubbling coconut and tomato broth. The steak we ordered next was a touch too salty and was the only real disappointed of the evening. However, the lovely hand-made chocolates prepared in the in-house Cocoa Lab composed because of this. Definately worth a trip!

The restaurant is really a very cosy venue near Ampang Point. Had St. Valentine’s dinner with my partner and it was this experience in so many levels. The pre-selected menu was filled with surprises. Each and every dish was superb with regards to presentation and taste.It contains 9 courses of fusion latin-south east asian goodness. The eye from the waitresses was orders of magnitude much better than your typical top quality restaurant in KL. The complete experience was complemented with a good “bolero” band plus some other amenities. Definitely worth a trip if you wish to try different things from the normal KL canon...

Came for an early on lunch...I believe we were their first customers. First up - Haute Cuisine this isn't, also to be fair, I don't believe they claim that it really is. It is a family style restaurant with simple dishes. We tried their mini arepa tastingplatter, that is 2 all of cheese, chicken/avocado, and pulled beef. Pulled beef was the winner - very tasty. The chicken/avocado was a little bland, and the cheese was quite unremarkable - maybe best for kids? Main course was shared salad and a coconut fish dish. Salad was nice. Coconut fish no so excellent, fish was a little smelly and the dish lacked any character. Their other mains aren't particularly compelling either. It's quite basic fare (some might say comfort food?). I believe they need to go through the variety of mains available see how they might give it more of a definite South American feel. Dessert was a chocolate mousse straight from the fridge and incredibly hard. Service was fine, friendly and efficient, but again, we were the only real people there. Conclusion - I would go back simply for the Arepas, but really nothing else had a lot of a pull factor.

My children came here in Sunday as my partner is definitely Venezuelan and was craving some house cooked comfort foods and we weren't disappointed. We began with a platter of empanadas and Taqueños that have been light and sharp with tasty fillings. We then got theAsado Negro and the Lamb; both had been melt in the mouth area and the seasoning exactly like my wife’s family members make, absolutely tasty! We shared a chocolate cake that was among the best I’ve actually had. We've already booked another and we can’t wait around.
