Reviews For Normita's Latin Amer Restaurant

This place (if you are from Latin America ) is a little peace of home in Columbus . I can’t explain how nice was my visit to that place , the workers super extremely kind cuz I brought a non lain friend with me and the worker explained to her all the dishes and everything we really appreciate it. It gets crowded on lunch time so be aware, it opens Monday - Friday 11:30pm-5pm it’s around 8,75 to eat there and if you want to take out add 2 more . May only subjection will be make the dessert more traditional beside that everything is awesome.

This hole in the wall is great! Just come on in and get a quick bite or hang out and eat all you can for under 10! I came in around 1130 for lunch and had the lunch buffet. Awesome stuff! Very affordable! Great people!

Don't let the outside nor the modest furniture fool you. This place serves high quality, delicious food, the staff is super friendly and make you feel like family. The yucca fries and tostones are to die for. Although they serve delicacies like mofongo, yellow rice, & chicken stew, my favorite has always been Beef Steak with onions, white rice & beans! This would be your grandma's home cooking, if she were Latin! 8/30/19 Usually the food & service quality declines with time. Not here. The food is as exciting and delicious as it was when I first tasted Mrs. Normita's cooking in 2005. In fact, the beef steak and onions seemed even more flavorful and tender today. I usually don't like visiting buffets because I over eat to get my money's worth. Here I over eat because the food is just so darn good!

Im still new to Columbus. However, I stumbled upon this gem of a restaurant! I could smell the aroma outside before I went inside. The food I ordered was so good! Made me feel like I was back in Puerto Rico, Mexico and Miami! Ever since I ate it once! I been back weekly! This my lil spot and I'll continue to support them! They hooked me up with a free empanada.. If I knew how good they were, I would have gotten 5! Thank y'all! Oh yeah, that green sauce & garlic sauce is a must! Everything was so delicious! Lunch special is only 10.99 and well worth it!

Excellent Latin cuisine. Nice comfortable atmosphere inside. It has a buffet offering a variety of South American dishes and delicious Puerto Rican food. One of my favorite lunch spots in town. Enjoy.
