    We went to Aro Latin before the UCLA game at the Rose Bowl. The tacos were so delicious, we had to order another round. Margaritas were amazing. Staff was incredibly friendly. Will definitely go back!

    Aro Latin deserves all five stars! The vibrant atmosphere, exceptional service, and delicious dishes make every visit memorable. Their birria tacos are a flavor explosion—tender, juicy, and perfectly seasoned, served with a rich, savory consommé for dipping. The hibiscus cocktails are equally impressive, with a perfect balance of tartness and sweetness, making them refreshingly delightful. Their innovative take on traditional Latin flavors is truly outstanding. The outstanding service and lively music further enhance the overall dining experience. Highly recommend for a fantastic dining experience!

    Aro was really disappointing. Appetizers were OK, however the chips they brought for the guacamole were underwhelming. How can you get chips wrong people? Mashed potatoes were made from powder and tasted terrible. Achiote fish was undercooked. and the so called seafood paella had the consistency of a risotto, the flavors were good and the portion generous. All of the vegetables were cooked unevenly and I can't really tell if they had been previously frozen or not. I have been having tres leches cake for 40 something years and this one was, without doubt, the worst one I've ever had. Completely dry. It had probably been sitting for days. I guess that for the prices they charge, you can't have higher expectations. I would be happy to pay more if they'd step up their game and bother to boil some potatoes and mash them up.

    The food and selections on the Social Hour menu are excellent, although some items can be very spicy. I enjoy spice, but my dining partner can’t handle it. The server should advise patrons about particularly spicy foods. We originally were going to sit indoors. There was only a smattering of people with one woman seated at the bar talking loudly on her cell phone. The acoustics are horrible to top it off. We opted for the outdoor seating. Food and drink are definitely a 5+. We will return, but we will sit outside.

    We stopped in for a quick bite and shared the chicken mole dish. It was sooooo good! Our server was very attentive, and was always easily findable when we needed him even though the restaurant was full.
