In celebration of National Hispanic Heritage Month, which takes place Sept. 15-Oct. 15, take a trip that will bring you and your family one step closer to your cultura.
Explore your Latino heritage like our pros
Los Angeles
“When you live in Los Angeles, you’re surrounded by so many cultures, so food is the first thing that comes to mind. I’m half Salvadorian so pupusas are absolutely a must try!”—Jay Mendoza @jaymendoza
LA’s beaches, mountains, and leggy palm trees pale in comparison to the greatness of its people. This includes the city’s proud Salvadorean population (the largest in the U.S.). Their presence can be felt all over the city, but especially in local eateries. Make room for pupusas!
New York City
"My family instilled in us how important it was to celebrate our culture. But since hopping on a plane to Puerto Rico isn't always possible, I’m thankful to be close to New York, where numerous neighborhoods keep our culture alive. One of my favorite ways to celebrate my heritage is getting together with my family at a local Puerto Rican restaurant. Lots of laughs, good music, and delicious food are guaranteed!"—Shareen Medina @pearlsandparis
The Big Apple offers a thrilling metropolis of more than 8 million people. That’s thanks largely to its status as a global village where numerous cultures add to the city’s allure. Puerto Ricans live here in such large numbers that they even have their own name–Nuyoricans.
Houston
"Both my parents were born in Mexico, so I was raised in a bilingual family where we honored tradition through language, music, and of course, Mexican food. Especially during Hispanic Heritage Month, we teach our children about where we come from by exploring our city of Houston. Options for Mexican food here are endless, with local must-try spots like chef Hugo Ortega’s restaurant Xochi, located right in the Marriot Marquis.”—Erika Ortega @erika_cullen
The largest city in Texas is nothing if not proud, and that includes its vibrant Mexican heritage. Points of interest include the East End District featuring lively Návigation Boulevard esplanade. Throw in some Tex-Mex and a raspados (Mexican snow cone) and you may never leave.
Chicago
"We are Mexican parents raising bicultural kids in Chicago, a city with more than 800,000 Latinos! I love to teach my kids to feel proud of having a Mexican origin, and grateful and responsible to their country, the United States. This month, we’re taking them to see and taste some of the best of Mexico in Chicago! As we say in Mexico, 'Nadie ama lo que no conoce' (nobody loves what they haven’t met)."—Laura Muller @lasrecetasdelaura
If you’re looking for a Midwest melting pot, look no further. Framed by 27 miles of gorgeous lakefront and boasting a skyline that’s the envy of most cities, Chicago is home to the country’s second largest Mexican population. You’ll see as many taquerias as you will deep dish pizzerias.
Miami
"As a chef, I love exploring new cultures through cuisine, which is why I visit different nationality restaurants in Miami with my family every time I can. While I’m Venezuelan, one of our favorite things to do on Sundays is going to el Palacio de los Jugos, a casual Cuban market/restaurant where we can get fresh juice, lechón, croquetas, and the best chicharron on the planet, in the most authentic Cuban setting."—Jacquie Marquez @jacquiemarquez
No other city in America moves to the beat of Latin rhythms quite like Miami. Thanks to the influence of its thriving Cuban community, those rhythms can be felt all over town. From conga lines and croquetas to colorful murals and cafecitos, Miami sizzles well beyond its tropical heat.

Mexico City
In Mexico’s pulsating capital, discover a megalopolis that is both forward thinking and steeped in history. Explore ancient ruins, board a boat within city limits, and grab a churro from a local café—all in a single day. For a true thrill, plan to visit during the Dia de lo Muertos Festival.
Puerto Rico
Reasons to love Puerto Rico are numerous. From strolling the pastel-brushed homes of Old Town to hanging loose in Rincon to kayaking at night surrounded by sparkly blue algae, this Caribbean island has it all, including friendly locals who will greet you with a warm buenos dias!
Dominican Republic
Famous for its pristine beaches and lush green mountains, the DR also offers a vibrant cultural component starting with a tour of “La Capital” Santo Domingo and its historic core. But it’s also perfectly okay to chill on a beach and watch the palm trees sway to the rhythms of merengue.
