This place was an oddly shaped older building just outside the downtown area. It wasn't air-conditioned, though there was indoor and outdoor seating and a decent amount of shade by the time in the evening that I made it there. There was only one person working on the Monday I stopped by, but it was a busy place, and thus not the speediest service. Substantively, I found that my horchata was a strong, nutty beverage. They were out of a tamale that I wanted to order so I just got a bunch of pupusas, including typical options like bean and cheese but also the more distinctive collard greens. They came with an interesting curtido, a lightly pickled cabbage slaw that had a variety of ingredients. Overall, not a 100% smooth experience, but a good way to bring a distinctive flavor to the region. read more

Collard Green Pupusas. My mind is blown. Who knew that this combination would work. I thought it was gimmicky and then I tried it and was immediately hooked. This is not only an item that I will order again but one that I will talk about every chance I get. The other Pupusas we had were good, with the chicken being the other standout. The chorizo and carnitas were good, don't get me wrong. They just didn't stand out like the collard greens and chicken ones. Outdoor patio is the place to be. The people watching and breeze were just delightful. So why not 5 stars? The service was a bit slow for my liking. Every table outside had to go in to ask for something as the servers didn't make it outside enough. read more

I had a great experience at Latin Soul Restaurant. I ordered a large hibiscus juice, which was refreshing and perfectly balanced--not too sweet. For my meal, I had the street tacos with both chicken and steak, served with rice and refried beans, along with pickled onions and radish slices. Everything was incredibly flavorful, and the portions were generous for the price. I also tried a collard green and cheese pupusa, which was something new for me since I've only had more traditional ones before. It was absolutely delicious and a unique twist that really paid off. They offer a wide variety of pupusas, so there are plenty of options to choose from if you're a fan or looking to try something different. I chose to sit on the patio, which had a really nice, relaxed ambience. Inside, they also have a bar area with Latin music playing that adds to the overall vibe. Between the delicious food, great atmosphere, and reasonable prices, this spot is definitely worth a visit if you're craving Latin American cuisine. read more

Cute little place that feels like a someone's home. Very friendly waitstaff, bustling kitchen creating authentic dishes that feel homemade. The refried beans are authentic El Salvador with that nice reddish hint and delicious flavor. I had the Sopa de Gallina, which was huge chunks of chicken and vegetables in a savory broth. Topped, with onions, fresh jalapeños, and cilantro. Nice guacamole. Really interesting selection of fillings for the pupusas, which are also lovely. They do have alcohol for sale as well read more

Delicious food! The papusa was so perfect! Plantains delicious too. Everything was prepared to perfection.

Arrive to meet a dear friend for brunch recently.... Ambience great food great service slow very nice people but they must be shortstaffed. I would definitely go back again. Food is eclectic but they still have things on the menu for people who would be frightening to have eclectic food. Amazing ethnic food. I totally enjoyed it. read more

A slight jaunt off the beaten path in Staunton lies this Latin American / Soul food fusion restaurant. Architecture is a bit funky, but they make good food and everyone in our group enjoyed their dishes. The beef stew and chicken soup were both rocking good and extremely flavorful (both were soups of the day). Folks dug the plantains. My Mexican street tacos were good (not so much the chorizo, but the chicken and Al pastor were great). The only knock on Latin Soul was the lack of a bartender on our visit, so most of the drinks menu was unavailable. I'd still happily eat there again! read more

The food was actually good, the serving size was small, very small. How do you only give a quarter cup of rice as a side and an even lesser amount of refried beans? My steak tacos, again, were pretty good but very little meat. The pickled onions were tasty and their guacamole taco sauce was excellent. This restaurant desperately needs Robert Irvine to reorganize their kitchen and train the wait staff. Truly, the waitresses were among the worst I have ever seen. The kitchen sent out incomplete meals to both tables beside us and our meal took 45 minutes to be served. The restaurant was less than half full. Unfortunately for Latin Soul, we will not be back. read more

This place is always closed. If they are in business, they do not go off their hours posted

So good! The food here was so good. I got the Mexican street tacos (chicken, steak and chorizo) they came with a spicy habanero sauce that was actually really spicy! The rice and beans were also good. My husband got the chicken taquito dish and it was so good and the taquitos were so crunchy. We also got chips and guacamole which was pretty good but did have big chunks of tomato. Our server was very friendly and attentive. I will be back! read more

I'd read so many rave reviews about Latin Soul and seen so many mouthwatering pictures that it felt like a long time coming before finally trying it for myself. It came as no surprise that Latin Soul lived up to its strong reputation. Everything down to the plantain chips was delectable and seasoned to perfection. The green sauce was amazing and delicious on everything. The portions were slightly on the smaller side and more rice would've been good but overall, it felt like a healthy amount of food. Service was quick (though we did come in at an off-time) and very friendly! Can't wait to try more from here! read more

Very nice restaurant, interesting layout, brilliant food from multiple Latin American cuisines. Ample parking. Strongly recommended.

Food was mediocre at best. The meat on the street tacos was heavily salted and overcooked, with any other flavors just salted away. The appetizer of chili cheese fries was just grease soggy and gross. The service was poor, with the waitress barely interacting with us. For the first time ever, I actually wished there had been a kiosk to order from, as it would have been more personable. Not much of an atmosphere, other than being hot. In the middle of July, ceiling fans aren't cutting it, especially when considering the menu prices. This was a 2 for 1 experience, the first and last. read more

Latin Soul - Ceviche! Cool, refreshing. Excellent summer lunch. More than enough for one person. Would recommend that you share. - Latin American Near Me - Staunton, Virginia

Good breakfast and nice staff. Will be back for more meals soon. I like the layout of the bar area and outdoor seating is nice too.

Delicious food with a huge variety on menu! Breakfast all day is a plus! Biscuits pretty small. Servers are so nice and its a busy place! Would recommend and will go again! read more

The vegetarian Mexican street tacos were AMAZING and the patio is dog friendly. You get a decent amount of food for the price, too.

Excellent service, menu, staff, food was delicious! Great atmosphere! Plenty of parking!

I would pass if asked again. Arrived for breakfast, The server was polite. There were 21 people in the restaurant including my party. 3 servers all seemed nice enough. The problem was the wait time. 35 minutes from order to delivery. Nothing ordered was outlandish. A breakfast burrito, chorizo omelet, and eggs Benedict. I had the eggs Benedict just bland, hollandaise possibly was from a can, and English muffin was thin. The hash browns were baked. Just not a good meal.....for $44 read more

Although the food is good, the service was pretty horrendous. We immediately got seated by the bartender. After about 8 minutes, a server asked if we were ready to order when we hadn't even had drinks or menus on the table. Another server came over with waters and we ordered Yuca Fries. It took another 25 minutes for the server to come back to our table with only two other tables seated in the whole restaurant!!!! When she came back, she checked is the Yuca was ready only to be told they were out of Yuca. I've been a server before, their POS system is toast, and you can 86 items on the handheld (why was this not done??). Overall, good food but only come back if you're prepared to wait until over an hour to even eat. read more

Absolutely no idea how this place has the rating it does... all I can say is that Taco Bell also has four stars on this app. :-/ Service was horrible and the food was even worse. Had a pupusa that was decent, but didn't begin to make up for other items like the gravy (which is crazy easy to make from scratch) on the biscuits or the hollandaise sauce on the eggs Benedict that were both clearly packaged products. When we asked to speak to the manager, we were simply told they were too busy. Would not be back under any circumstance to this restaurant and would not recommend. read more

Sopa de res tasted just like how my mom makes it SOLIDDDDDDD super hyped that it's pretty close to me.

We stopped for an early dinner. I had the Cajun shrimp and grits. It was delicious. I added some of the green sauce from my companion's Carne Asada. It was a great addition. I suggest you add it as a side! As a no red meat eater, there were loads of things I could have chosen. If I was local I would definitely come back. I wish I'd had room for dessert. read more

My food was cold and server was only over here twice: Take order and serve food. Would not recommend.

My first time eating in Latin soul Restaurant ,and I have to say i am satisfied with the atmosphere, the food is rich in flavor , I would say it's affordable for authentic Latin cuisine , I got me a carne asada tacos for $14.99 and corona , and lime for $5.00 I only spent $24, and not including the tip ! The employees are nice , the owner Betsy is brilliant person , she very friendly,and she has two other restaurants one haven't open yet , and the other I can't think the name of right now anyways I am looking forward going other Staunton restaurant and reviewing them as a food critic on the side ,and chef as full read more

This place rocks. The food was awesome and the service was great. It's definitely worth a visit

DO NOT miss this place!! One of Staunton's best if not the best. I've lived all over the country and this is in my top 5 restaurants, including the SF Bay area! Fresh and flavorful. Spoke with Bessy, one of the owners. She is passionate about good, clean food. These are educated folks, one is a US Veteran! Bring the crew. There's something for everyone. Staff is a delight! A huge plus? They speak very highly of the owners and how they treat the staff. So happy they are here! read more

Tucked away behind the glass blowing building, this little gem feels like a big find! The atmosphere is cute and peaceful, the staff are friendly and attentive, and the food is absolutely delicious. I had the fried plantain with refried beans and my partner had the chorizo burrito. We both got the fresh fruit bowl. It was the perfect amount of food and my partner said this is his new favorite spot. read more

Oh my goodness! What a hidden gem in Staunton. The restaurant is housed in the former Table 44 location. Three of us dined in for an early dinner. The Cobb salad is gigantic and gorgeous. The best that I've had in Staunton. My son had the Mexican tacos that were better than Chicano Boys. The service was pleasant and fast and everything exceeded expectations. You will find decent prices too! We will be visiting for breakfast options soon! read more

Well I have limited experience but after two meals of the same thing my opinion is that the Mexican torta is great and I need to branch out. Everyone else's food has been great too. read more

Went with three others and everyone loved it. I was very happy with the ceviche and companions were happy with their entrees. Looking forward to when they get their liquor license as the food would be improved with a margarita or beer. We have frequented this restaurant in the past when it had other owners. The patio in warmer months is probably going to get busy -i really, really, hope the new proprietors can make this work without burn out or the quality going down. Staunton really needs more dining options. read more

We have been meaning to stop in for breakfast for a while, and this morning we finally did. We will definitely be back. We had the breakfast specials: the El Salvadorean, and huevos con chorizo. The food was delicious, the portions were quite large (food coma already), the coffee was good and hot, and service was attentive. We ate outside, despite that it was a chilly fall morning, because we had our toy poodle with us. Highly recommended, 10/10. read more

Great brunch on Sunday. The food was excellent and the service was great. It is a little off the beaten path in Staunton, but the short walk from the heart of downtown is well worth it. read more

Great location, around the corner from Sunspots glass and next to Crucible Coffee. There is a peaceful outdoor patio and charming restaurant in an interesting building. The wait staff are friendly and attentive. The food is delicious, super fresh ingredients, and big portions.

I have fallen in love with this restaurant. I am having breakfast today...Chorizo grits and Classic breakfast. Together under 20$. The food is well prepared like homemade and the service is very dedicated to your dining experience. Nothing is left out. Even the coffee and butter on the toast is delicious. Thanks for making such great cuisine. Will definitely be back for more! read more

Apparently, an older white gentleman sitting by himself at the bar isn't worthy of your staff's attention or service. Other customers come in, are greeted, and get immediate service (young women). I met staff's eyes several times, and at least three of them ignored me. I won't be back. Why do so many Staunton restaurants have lousy customer service??? I was looking forward to making this a regular place, and I have been here before. The food isn't good enough to tolerate the disrespect. Even another patron noticed the lack of service before I got up and left. If you need to seat customers, then take down the Take a Seat sign. SO Disappointed! read more

Unsweetened tea was watered down, before the ice, no taste at all. The street tacos were delicious, very tasty and well seasoned, but disappointed by the tiny 1/4 cup size of rice served as a side, even smaller size serving of refried beans. Service was ok, but not very friendly, seemed annoyed we were asking so many questions about the menu. The leche cake was delicious. Just ok. read more
