My wife and I tried Latin Flavorz at their new location at 870 E. Suber Road, Greer, SC.
That's the front side of the Lowe's Food shopping center shared with Lieu's Chinese Bistro, Voila French Cafe, and Nixtamal Mexican Kitchen. Basically, across the street from Riverside High School.
Latin Flavorz is billed as "fast casual." It was!
We got there at 11 am for lunch (see that menu below). We'll have to come back to try the breakfast menu. It appears to feature a lot of egg dishes with fiesta potatoes and chorizo.
My wife was encouraged to try it by some work colleagues who promised "the best burger in Greenville" and we had to try the pandebono (which we didn't try this time).
My wife tried the Beef Burger which was a very thick and tasty patty on a sesame seed bun. Served with lettuce, tomato, caramelized onions, crispy bacon, two melted cheeses, potato stix, and the Latin Flavorz in-house condiments. It was served very hot and juicy. It was big enough for us to split. It's $14.99. She made it a combo (fountain drink and fries) for another $5.99.
I tried the skewers: one beef and one chicken. The steak was perfectly cooked, a decent portion, had a good flavor. The chicken was also prepared well, served hot, and had a good seasoning. Mine was served with a couple of small, roasted potatoes and spicy guacamole. $13.99. I added the House Rice for $2.99 and a fountain drink (I think about $3.)
I gave my date a chunk of the steak and a chunk of the chicken in exchange for a third of the burger.
"Flavorz" for sure. Nothing was bland. Lots of Colombian and Venezuelan influences here. The smells from the kitchen were making my mouth water as soon as we walked up to the counter to get our menus. After ordering, you're given one of those electronic pucks to know when your food is ready. When buzzed, you return to the counter to fetch your food. Since it was a counter-service set-up, we only had dealings with the gentleman at the register. He was friendly.
The atmosphere features a hand-painted mural on one wall and painted concrete floor. All nicely done. They spent some money on the menus which are well-designed with colorful, enticing photos. Several of the dishes look to be a work of art. Being a brand-new venue (opened the week of Christmas 2025), it was immaculate and spacious. By the time we left, the lunch crowd was hopping! Outside the restaurant is a good number of parking spaces, except when the fitness spot next door is busy. But across the lane are a few hundred spots as part of the whole shopping center.
With tax and tip, it was almost $50. So, more of a special occasion place for a lunch.

Their taco offerings: birria, tacorritos (beef, chicken, mixed), and street tacos (beef, chicken, and mixed).
