WHAT IS DINE LATINO?
Dine Latino Restaurant Week is a promotional campaign, now in its 9th installment, that seeks to boost the revenue of Latino-Owned restaurants by promoting the availability of dining options at Latino-Owned restaurants of any cuisine. The spotlight is reserved for independent and local eateries owned by Latinos. We also seek to showcase the diversity of flavors available beyond Latin cuisine.

WHAT ARE CHEF'S TASTINGS?
Intimate Culinary Experiences
A Tasting is more than dinner—it’s a shared journey of flavor and culture. Limited to under 40 guests, the Chef’s Tasting offers a communal table setting that fosters connection and conversation. Set in a demonstration kitchen, the evening unfolds with a live culinary showcase, giving you a front-row seat to the chef’s craft and a rare opportunity to engage directly as each dish comes to life.
From the moment you arrive, the aroma of spices and the warmth of hospitality welcome you. Enjoy light bites as you settle in, then watch as the chef prepares vibrant plates inspired by personal stories and rich cultural traditions. Past featured chefs have included James Beard recognized chefs such as Yun Fuentes of Bolo, and Cristina Martinez of Casa Mexico.
As food is served and drinks are shared, the atmosphere invites lively dialogue, bold flavors, and meaningful connections. It’s a relaxed, immersive evening designed to celebrate Hispanic cuisine—and the people who bring it to the table.
