I think you took my reply the wrong way. I am saying that since we are referring to food, I do not think it matters to call it Latino, Latina, or Spanish food. Every Latino or Latina that I know calls it Spanish food and I’ve never heard them say Latino food and have never cared for how you say it, but that is from my experience and my fiancées experience. I guess you could say food from Latin American countries if you want to use the correct terminology, but I really don’t think it matters.

I am not calling a Latino or Latina Spanish. I am simply referring to food. It seems that you are from Peru and maybe in Peru they say “I am in the mood for Latino food”, but from my experience it’s always been called Spanish food and that is why I said Spanish food.

(FYI my fiancée and her family are from DR, half of my family is from Argentina which is South America). I lived in Miami, FL for many years around a diverse Hispanic population).

Edit: you just edited your reply (your original reply before you edited was that I was calling Latino’s/Latina’s Spanish, in which that was never even mentioned, but I’ll reiterate that I am not referring to your heritage or nationality or region. I am referring to FOOD. You seem to be the only one taking offense for absolutely no reason.

No problem. We use to live in Miami and it’s hard to find Spanish food in Vermont. I believe they are from Honduras and speak fluent Spanish. The vibe brought us back a bit to Miami. Highly recommend the empanadas, taquitos, and birria tacos. The plantains were not bad either. We didn’t finish our food at cafe mamajuana is wasn’t really edible and very upsetting as we were happy to find a Dominican restaurant, but we could have went on a bad day.

Not Cuban, but I do like Garcia’s Bistro in Enosburg Falls. My fiancée is Dominican and that is the only good Spanish food we have found in VT. We did not enjoy Cafe Mamajuana.
