About Tentaciones Latin Restaurant

This compact Surry Hills spot channels pure Colombian sazón casero with massive, shared portions. Latin expats head here for heaping trays of bandeja paisa loaded with pork, plantain, and richly seasoned beans—or vast bowls of sancocho de gallina that easily feed a crowd. Table space runs tight when weekend crowds pack in, but the kitchen balances the rush with scratch-made empanadas and a fiery house sauce blended from seven varieties of chillies.

  • Oversized Traditional Staples: Feast on massive platters of bandeja paisa and soup bowls like sancocho de gallina portioned generously enough to share or take home.
  • Scratch-Made Chilli Blends: House-special chili sauces made from scratch feature blends of seven distinct chilli varieties to accompany empanadas and mains.
  • Live Weekend Latin Energy: Weekend nights bring live mariachi music and late-night dancing after 9pm to the energetic dining room.
