Stockholm's best Latin American restaurants

Stockholm's best Latin American restaurants

South American and Latin American food is the hot new addition to Stockholm's restaurant scene. Forget bland Nineties-style tacos; these days you'll find fresh taquerias and other Mexican restaurants along with Peruvian cevicherias and influences from the Caribbean and other parts of South America. Latin American cuisine stretches from the American South and Central America, where corn-based dishes, salsas and hot chilli spices are common, all the way down to Patagonia in the south of South America. South American cuisine has its origins at the border between Panama and Colombia and offers a wide variety of dishes. Be prepared for a flavour explosion - you'll find the very best Latin American, South American and Mexican restaurants in Stockholm in our guide.

Fun culinary trio

With party organiser Damon Rasti at the helm, Yuc on Odenplan quickly became a Mexican favourite in Stockholm. The concept revolves around tacos, ceviche and cocktails. After their success in Vasastan, they opened up Yuc LatAsian, a fusion restaurant with flavours from Latin America, and a summer restaurant in Tantolunden park.

Peppar

Southern vibes in Vasastan

Peppar has become a real favourite with its kitsch setting in which rock music, beer and food from the southern states come together.

Island Hoppers

Caribbean flavours

Trinidad and Tobago in Caribbean provides the culinary inspiration for Island Hoppers and though it's not strictly speaking part of the Latin American region, it's only a stone's throw away.
