Cafe Aroma Latino
Halifax, Canada
The read// why locals go
Part café, part Latin American food shop, Café Aroma Latino brings Guatemalan, Mexican and Colombian home cooking to Halifax's North Street. Owner Claudia Pinto calls it a labour of love generations in the making, and the menu reads that way: Guatemalan tacos and dobladas, Argentinian and Colombian empanadas, weekend breakfasts such as caldo de huevos with poblano, epazote and tortilla strips. The shelves do the rest of the work, stocked with Latin American juices, spices, coffees, flours and snacks to take home. Mains land around 16 CAD, which keeps it an everyday North End stop rather than an occasion. A local food blog has singled it out as a neighbourhood favourite.
