" Tinker surprised me with their excellent service and delicious food! The Tinker special arepas were to die for, and the staff was incredibly friendly and attentive. The atmosphere was even better than I expected. I can't wait to come back and try their desserts next time. Highly recommend this restaurant for anyone seeking great Latin flavors! " (*Curated Review*)

" The experience at Tinker was unforgettable. The decorations create a charming atmosphere reminiscent of vibrant Latin culture. The service was attentive, but the food truly stole the show! I had an amazing pabellón, rich in flavor, accompanied by a refreshing guava mojito. The desserts, particularly the key lime pie, were delightful. This restaurant deserves a five-star rating. Can't recommend it highly enough! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a great time at Tinker Latin Restaurant! The ambiance is warm and inviting, truly capturing the essence of Latin culture. Our server was friendly, but we did experience a bit of a wait for our food despite the restaurant not being overly busy. All that aside, the food was amazing, particularly the fried yuca. Can’t wait to go back again to explore more dishes! " (*Curated Review*)

The atmosphere was festive, and I cannot wait to return to try more items from the menu. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a delightful dining experience! I visited Tinker during a busy Friday night but was impressed with how smoothly the service ran. The ceviche was bursting with flavor, and the ambiance was lively yet comfortable. I also loved the Chimichurri on my yuca fries—such a great pairing! I’ll definitely be back for more.

" The food at Tinker Latin Restaurant is tasty, but I was left wanting more for the price. The portions felt a bit small for some items. The atmosphere is relaxing, and the service has been great on my last two visits, though. I guess it just depends what you order. " (*Curated Review*)
