Latin Rhythm Lounge

Went here last night to hang out & have a few drinks. It’s a nice little spot, the music was good, food looked delicious although I didn’t eat. The two things I really didn’t like was that there isn’t a lot of parking and the drinks were very weak & if you ask to make it a little stronger they charge you, but other than that it was decent I’d go back.

Went here based on reviews from Unilocal and I’m glad that I did. The bartender was very friendly and welcoming being it was my first time here. Food was great and you get a lot for the cost… not typical bar food either. Was expecting it to be more lively because it was a weekend, but I guess it was just a slow night so there weren’t many people, but the music was good anyway and the place had a nice cozy feel

Pros: The food is very flavorful! The rice is delicious and so are the Chuletas, Jibaritos and the appetizer platter among other things my party ordered. The DJ also had a very good selection of music and the owners are very nice! Service was nice and kind.
Cons: If only they had a good mixologist this place would be a total gem. Some of their drinks are too artificial for my liking. The place is small and can use some upgrades, but it has only been opened a few months. I’m sure there is room for improvement in that area.
Would I go back? Yes! The food and service were great!

Such a cute little hidden gem. Great mojitos and sangria. New spot to check out!
Great prices and music. Definitely recommended stopping in to chill eat dance and have a great drink.

NOTE: The following review is based only on cocktails, service and ambience. As promised to the owner, I have just scheduled a dinner date and will follow up with a second review.
I stumbled upon this place two weeks ago with a friend visiting from Galewood. She had been wanting to visit the fantastic Maple Tree forever, located across the street. As we drove up, I noticed this new spot. «Latin» caught my attention as did the sophisticated signage.
Once checked in, I suggested we go across the street for a cocktail. Glad we did. We were greeted by a seductive fusion of dimmed lighting and Caribbean music. Aaahhh, I knew this would be the spot. We sat at the bar and were immediately greeted by a lovely bartender who agreed with us that watermelon-​infused beverages were waning too soon. The winter… She served us two delicious martinis.
As we quenched our thirst while surveying and enjoying the vibe, another lovely woman began chatting us up. We asked questions about the spot and learned she was the owner. I requested a menu. I was hoping to see chicken fricasee but not yet! I promised I would be back. In half-​jest, she pointed to a fellow seated at a table eagerly enjoying his fare and noted he comes 2 to 3 times a week.
As an extra, the mayor happened to be at the bar and pleasantly introduced himself. Yet another «vote of confidence» in my eyes!
Our buzzer went off sooner than expected so we slammed our cocktails and ran out promising to return. I’ll be back on 10.22 and look forward to a dining experience that will be a fine option to Division Street and the belabored kitchens of good friends!

Great food! Tried the Tostones Rellenos, Pastelillos, alcapurrias and had the steak with Aroz con gandules. Everything was delicious! Definitely recommend! Can’t forget the Cocotini.

It’s the Hidden Gem of Blue Island. Amazing staff, great food, endless delicious drinks. Haven’t found a drink yet I didn’t like. The food is on target every single time. People must find this place!!!
