Dine Latino Restaurant Week To Feature Numerous Restaurants

PHILADELPHIA — Nearly two dozen restaurants are on board to participate in Dine Latino Restaurant Week soon.

The Greater Philadelphia Hispanic Chamber of Commerce recently announced its fifth iteration of Dine Latino Restaurant Week, which will be from Sept. 19 through Sept. 23.

This year’s restaurant week extends dining offerings to additional locations throughout the Philadelphia area and includes a number of new cuisines within the Latino-owned and operated culinary community.

The five-day culinary event will offer patrons one complimentary appetizer or dessert with the purchase of two dinner entrées.

"As we look forward to our fifth Dine Latino Restaurant Week, the goal remains that of elevating the profile of Latino-owned restaurants in the region," said Jennifer Rodriquez, President of the Greater Philadelphia Hispanic Chamber of Commerce. "We want to introduce the public to the excellence and variety of food experiences available locally and invite area residents to join us in a celebration of exciting cuisine, culture, and warm hospitality."

In addition to an expanded list of cuisines and locations, the Greater Philadelphia Hispanic Chamber of Commerce have added a chef's tasting with James-Beard award winning chef, Cristina Martinez of Casa Mexico.

The tasting will take place downtown at La Cucina at the Market for a limited number of guests.

Dine Latino Restaurant Week was designed to support the growth and development of Latino-owned businesses through economic challenges, by providing access to resources, expert advice, networks, and educational opportunities.
