NEW VIDEO ALERT

When it comes to Latin restaurants throughout the Valley, Mexican is by far the most commonly located offering. Step out of your home, turn left, and you’ll stumble upon a Mexican joint, restaurant, cart, or bar in a short, brisk walk. But what about other Latino offerings? There are a few scattered throughout the region, but they are not as prominent. Thankfully, that is slowly changing, as more immigrants from various parts of Central America, South America, and the Caribbean, are beginning to call metro Phoenix home. And now, a new Dominican restaurant has officially opened and is ready to serve the public.
