The week-long event will highlight the different Latin American restaurants throughout Southern California.
Arepas are a Latin American dish from Venezuela and Colombia made with several ingredients like chicken, meat, black beans, and fried plantain. The food item is among the many dishes showcased at Southern California eateries as part of Latino Restaurant Week May 14-19.
During a phone interview, Lilly Rocha, CEO of the Latino Restaurant Association, said that the idea of promoting Latino restaurant owners this way came during the coronavirus pandemic, which heavily impacted the hospitality industry. The restaurants featured in Latino Restaurant Week are not hand-picked or charged to participate. Instead, the group reaches out to its community members, inviting them to participate. The group’s mission as a nonprofit is to promote Latin eateries and get customers in their establishments by creating promotional graphics, special menus, and social media campaigns to prepare them for this week. Rocha said the promotions are also meant to get foodies out of their cultural comfort zones.
Here are five restaurants participating in this year’s Latino Restaurant Week that showcase the different flavors of the Latin diaspora.
