The Greater Philadelphia Hispanic Chamber of Commerce will present the fall edition of Dine Latino Restaurant Week from Oct. 12 to 18, coinciding with Hispanic Heritage Month. The event invites guests to taste, explore, and support the diverse mix of Latino-owned restaurants and food trucks across the region. Each participating business will offer one complimentary appetizer or dessert with the purchase of two dinner entrées or a special limited-time menu. 

“Dine Latino Restaurant Week is more than just a dining event, it’s a celebration of culture, entrepreneurship, and community,” said Jennifer Rodriguez, President & CEO of the Greater Philadelphia Hispanic Chamber of Commerce. “Our Latino-owned restaurants and food trucks are vital to the region’s culinary fabric. By supporting them, we uplift the diversity, creativity, and innovation that make Philadelphia such an extraordinary place to dine.”

After restaurant week, the GPHCC will host a Dine Latino Chef’s Tasting on Oct. 30, featuring Sofía De Leon, the chef behind El Merkury and Tenango Rum. This elevated dinner extends Hispanic Heritage Month celebrations and leads into Día de los Muertos, giving guests a chance to meet the chef and savor dishes inspired by her cultural roots. Details and tickets are available online at philahispanicchamber.org/chefs-tasting.

With Dine Latino Restaurant Week, the GPHCC continues its mission to support independent Latino-owned restaurants and food trucks by fostering visibility, expanding opportunities, and driving patronage across the region.
