Latorre's award winning menu consists of a unique combination of the freshest Latin and local ingredients prepared using nontraditional cooking techniques and spectacular presentations.
Our menu includes a variety of seafood, steak and vegetarian dishes. Try our signature dish: amber-seared jumbo sea scallops over light coconut rice with sweet plantains and a mango-mojo, or try our grilled filet mignon, or lobster and shrimp paella with any of our extensive selection of South American and California wines.
For dessert taste our irresistible Ponque: a chocolate cake topped with toasted coconut ice cream and banana Myers rum salsa or Tres Leches: a Cuban coffee-laced vanilla cake with three creams, topped with Kahlua whipped cream and chocolate Amaretto sauce, with Latorre's specially blended coffee of Colombian, Brazilian and Cost Rican coffee beans.
After dinner, dance to the hottest Latin music or observe Charlotte's best Salsa dancers.
Latorre's also offers delicious tropical Martini's and cocktails.
Stefan Latorre, a successful trial attorney, created Latorre's. Mr. Latorre was born in Colombia, South America and grew up in Miami. He traveled extensively throughout Europe, Central and South America, where he developed a passion for inventive and creative food. Throughout his travels, Mr. Latorre tried exotic dishes from many South American countries, and consequently, decided to bring these exotic flavors to Charlotte. After conducting an international search for the ideal executive chef, Mr. Latorre hired Jason Pound as executive chef, and the two combined to create the award winning menu of Latorre's Nuevo Latino Cuisine.
Latorre's opened in November, 1999, in a three story historic building in the heart of downtown Charlotte, to exceptional reviews from all of Charlotte's food critiques and numerous awards.
We are open for lunch and dinner Monday through Saturday. After dinner, on Fridays and Saturdays, Latorre's transforms into the hottest Latin dance club in Charlotte, where the best Salsa dancers come to enjoy DJ's and live music until 3:00 am. Latorre's is available for catering and private parties. Each floor has its own bar and bathrooms making us an ideal place for private parties and special events.
