In Chelsea, Antojitos Latinos sits in a city where Latin American food is part of everyday neighborhood life. The restaurant, located at 14 Congress Ave., lists its Chelsea location, phone number, online ordering option, and business hours of Monday through Sunday, 10 a.m. to 8 p.m., on its official website.

 

The menu brings several traditions together under one roof. Antojitos Latinos describes itself as serving Latin American cuisine and highlights dishes such as pupusas, burritos, gorditas, desserts, and horchata. Local reporting from the Chelsea Record also described the restaurant’s kitchen as preparing Salvadoran, Guatemalan, Honduran, Mexican, and Spanish food.

 

At the center of the story is owner Jeidi Berganza, who is originally from El Salvador. The Chelsea Record profiled Berganza and Antojitos Latinos in July 2025, describing the business as a new restaurant at the corner of Congress Avenue and Division Street and reporting that Chelsea residents were making it a popular gathering place for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

 

Berganza’s story also reaches beyond Chelsea. The Chelsea Record reported that she had owned a restaurant on Ferry Street in Everett for 15 years. The Boston Globe separately identified Berganza as an immigrant from El Salvador and reported in February 2025 that she operated two Antojitos Latinos locations, in Chelsea and Everett, with her daughter.

 

That background gives the Chelsea restaurant a sense of continuity. Antojitos Latinos is not just a new stop for pupusas, grilled plates, breakfast, horchata, and takeout; it is part of a longer small-business journey shaped by migration, family, and years of restaurant experience in Greater Boston.

 

The restaurant’s multi-country menu also fits the community around it. U.S. Census Bureau QuickFacts lists Chelsea as 67.3 percent Hispanic or Latino and reports that 46.1 percent of residents were foreign-born from 2020 to 2024. In that context, Antojitos Latinos feels especially local: a place where Salvadoran roots meet a broader mix of Latin American flavors in the heart of Chelsea.

 

For readers looking to visit, Antojitos Latinos is located at 14 Congress Ave. in Chelsea and can be reached at (617) 466-0261. Readers can also review the restaurant’s official website, online ordering page, and the Chelsea Record’s local profile for more background before stopping in.
