Our Story

Welcome to La Latina

Bringing authentic Latin flavor and culture to the heart of Portage, Wisconsin

More Than Just a Restaurant and Grocery Store

La Latina was born from a simple dream: to share the rich flavors and warm traditions of Latin cuisine with the Portage community. What started as a passion for authentic cooking has grown into a beloved destination where restaurant and grocery store come together under one roof.

Every day, we honor our cultural heritage by preparing traditional dishes using time-tested recipes passed down through generations. From our handmade tortillas to our slow-cooked carnitas, each item on our menu tells a story of authentic Latin tradition.

But we're more than just great food. Our grocery section ensures that anyone can bring these authentic flavors home. Whether you're an experienced cook looking for hard-to-find ingredients or someone discovering Latin cuisine for the first time, we're here to help you every step of the way.
