Best Latin American Restaurants in Orinda

Dined at Bovanova for the first time on a rainy evening. It wasn’t too busy, and Nicole (our server) was wonderful. We shared the pork chops and lamb chops, and both were excellent, having started with fried cauliflower which was served with mayonnaise and very good. Their Brussels sprouts on the plated dish were excellent, so next time we’ll start with those an as appetizer! The holiday ambiance was tastefully done, and we really enjoyed our meal. No dessert that night, as were doing low carbs. 😃

Completely delightful experience. Great food filled with pleasant surprises. Beautiful reuse of space. A complete gem.

Service was really great. Very attentive and dirty dishes were removed quickly. Pork salad was divine, Caesar was superb and dinks were perfect.

Every Dish was DELICIOUS! It felt like I was in Santo Domingo! I can't wait to return for more of those Oxtails, the Plantains, and the shrimp criolla!

Great—as always! The food is consistently good, the ambiance was lively and warm and the server was incredibly attentive.
