Latin Bites is in a small but well-populated strip center. This made the parking lot pretty crowded, so it was somewhat hard to find a parking spot. The restaurant was full of business men and women having lunch. The restaurant had a fun, modern look to it, which created an enjoyable atmosphere. Our server was very friendly and multiple managers happily talked with us throughout the meal. I ordered the Pollo Saltado, and it was delicious. The delightful chicken was mixed with different vegetables and soy sauce giving it an asian style of flavor. The fried potatoes and rice complimented the chicken nicely. The only downside to the whole meal was the small portions that left me hungry. The prices seemed overpriced compared to the small portions in the meal. But other than the overpriced prices, I really enjoyed this wonderful meal.
