So much flavor to the food. We had a crudo, the snapper, and the ribs. George was our excellent server and we loved the lively, intimate, atmosphere.

Excellent place for breakfast and drinks and art and space. Loved the murals and the AC.
Bartender was excellent and played good music.

I've been here 3 times already and each time we've had delicious food and great service. I recommend the salmon or lamb dishes. The drinks are great, and the atmosphere is always calm and friendly.

I will travel the world for a good paella (literally).
I found this well rated restaurant on goggle.
So here I am...
Service is efficient & nice
Drinks: Corona & a Margarita, cold & good
Paella: It has to be a frozen paella, it was delivered in less than 6 minutes.
(Tastes like Rice a Roni or some microwave rice)
Now while I love my food being served prompt I do know no good paella is done that fast.
I appreciate the effort but this isn't it.
I feel cheated ????

Amazing service. Before we eveb had a table O was greeting by the servers who were happy to have us. Such friendly staff. Limited menu today, no problem still a good variety. Ordered Chicken Tacos, Ceviche and the street corn. Absolutely amazing. Preshrunk handmade flour tortillas, tender fish and the corn had a beautiful fire cooked flavour. Well done. Find this place and enjoy!

I love the extraordinary outstanding fish platters the most, here overseen in the kitchen by owner Karan Raina of the Punjabi Indian region. Branzino a la parilla, marinatate ($26), whole grilled fresh branzino is tops on my list of ten to try. Other mainstays the public will not let leave the menu are: Costillitas (baby back ribs) in a Latin setting of coconut milk, Cuban roast peppers, fresh rosemary, mango relish and cayenne pepper.Desserts created by his El Salvadoran wife, co-owner and pastry chef, Candy Garcia Raina, are not to be missed. These dishes helped earn the “destination” label to Aro Latin located on a historic, quaint street of shops in South Pasadena. Akar Studios in Santa Monica transformed the distinctive 1907 building space, a one-time bakery, into its stylish, contemporary, organic and inviting interior. I could go on about this for pages, and one is worth the trip. Especially true on a business street created by businessmen in the 1920's to house their mistresses on the second floors of the shops.

I was looking for Jones Coffee which I totally found after. Obviously not familiar with the area. But maps said I arrived at Jones Coffee and I was standing in front of Aro Latin looking around confused, so I just sat down and ate since I was hungry anyway. It was great, a nice atmosphere in a really artistic and colorful area. I am vegan so I was able to put a meal together without eggs, cheese or meat. Had the gauc and the sauces with chips. Very, very good and reasonable on pricing. I was able to use the restroom to wash my hands and my waiter was great and accommodating. Once I sat down I looked across the street and saw Jones Coffee way over there. Maps have been off for while now.

A must visit!!! Nice ambiance. Delicious food. We ordered the carne asada with vegetables and mash potatoes. Courteous staff and customer service. It is located in a safe location, adjacent to main streets and freeways . My hubby got the Mescal and he loved it!! I will come back to try the rest of the dishes soon!
