What People Are Saying About Prado's Restaurant

In Short – An exceptional mix of charm and service elevates this quaint Larchmont Village space to a level above other neighborhood eateries. The darling dining room features a cherub-frescoed ceiling, artsy mismatched chairs and flickering tea lights. A patio beckons diners to watch the bustling activity outside on warm summer nights. The mostly Latin-inspired menu features crab cakes, sweet corn Jamaican tamales and mesquite-grilled New York steak topped with tomatoes and onions. –

what a find!

by maybell

We went exploring Larchmont Blvd. this weekend and Prado was a great find! This restaurant is a hidden treasure. I am sure people aren't reviewing it because they don't want to give the secret away. Sorry but I have to. This place is fantastic! The service, food, and ambiance are all top notch! I would go back in a heartbeat. My husband and I went with another couple and all four of us loved our food. Thank you Prado!

Excellent Carribean cuisine

by serney28

This place is to die for.... Each time I go I sit outside because it is prime for people watching. I highly recommend the empanadas as an appetizer, so good you'll wonder how they disappeared off your plate so quickly. Also the Salmon is a great entree as well as the Grilled Lim Chicken. The prices are reasonable for the area which is right on Larchmont Blvd and don't forget to get a drink or two..... you will not be disappointed!!!!!!

  • Pros: awesome apps, great mojitos and margaritas
  • Cons: none

Pleasant atmosphere, good food, great portions

by gregls

Took friends from San Francisco there early on a Saturday night. Not too crowded, no issue for not having reservations. Very, very personable Maitre d' and wait staff. Lots of local regulars in place (as one should always expect on Larchmont). We had Jamaican tamales, crabcakes, and the empanada appetizer. All was wonderful. The beans and rice as the side dish were excellent. The Korean spirit used in most of their cocktails was different, but worked well in the mojito I had. Decent beer and wine selection.

  • Pros: Quality of food, ambience, wait staff
  • Cons: Parking on Larchmont
