Latin Food

William Moises Business Development Manager – Hispanic

Gastronomy in Latin America is one of the best in the world, and each country has typical platillos that have conquered the palates in the USA. There is also an endless number of delicious dishes, which we will surely need to name. The taco is the queen of Latin cuisine in the U.S. In Mexican culture, tacos are the kings in this equation, thin, succulent, and full of flavor due to their variety of fillings such as al pastor, chicken, and asada. What is a delicious taco without guacamole? Adding to the Mexican dishes are the huaraches, one of the typical primordial cravings made with corn accompanied with some meat, sauce, beans, and queso is undoubtedly perfection for our palate.

On the other hand, there are the Ceviche slices of raw fish or seafood seasoned with salt, onion, and chilies, and then marinated in lemon juice. Another outstanding dish is the Churrasco, influenced by Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay, and Venezuela. This barbecue method is where juicy pieces, slices, fillets, veal chops, lamb, pork, and chicken are placed on large skewers and roasted over a wood fire.

When we talk about Latin food, we also refer to the delicious arepas from Venezuela or Colombia, capable of containing almost any filling; the tasty creation of corn arrived in North America to delight the Anglo-Saxon palate with its subtle and characteristic flavor. To finish, and no less important, are the Empanadas. While they originate in Galicia, Spain, the empanadas have their versions with Columbiana, Argentina, Venezolanos, Boliviano, Chileans, Mexicans, and Panamanians. Each country has given this delicious dish its unique touch, and it is just some of the foods that have conquered the United States.
