Hispanic Heritage Month, which runs from Sept. 15 to Oct. 15, marks a celebration in honor of the anniversaries of independence for a number of Latin American countries, including Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, Mexico, and Chile.
The month-long celebration encompasses the rich tapestry of Spanish-speaking cultures, embracing Mexican, Cuban, Dominican, Puerto Rican, South, and Central American traditions. In metro Detroit, a multitude of Latin restaurants offer diverse culinary experiences with cuisine from these countries, beyond Southwest Detroit’s Mexican staples.
Here are 30 of our favorite Latin restaurants in the Detroit and Ann Arbor areas that you should try during Hispanic Heritage Month — and continue to support year-round.
