Immigration in the U.S.

From mangú and mofongo to rondón and quimbombo, our taste buds celebrate African roots year round 🤤 But if you’re looking to support Afro Latino-owned restaurants this Black History Month, here are three you can visit across the U.S.

What once started as a food truck in 2005 is now L.A’s first Afro Mexican restaurant, Tamales Elena y Antojitos, a family-owned business. Migrating to the U.S in 1996 from Guerrero, Maria makes family recipes like spicy beef tongue with plantains and mole verde 🤤

Over on the East coast you’ll find Beastro, considered the Bronx’s first hip hop restaurant. Co-owner Alfredo Anguiera says “Hip-hop was created by Black and Latino kids” and wanted to celebrate that with traditional Afro Puerto Rican staples like arroz con pollo and gandules.
