PHILADELPHIA - Food lovers across the Greater Philadelphia region have an appetizing reason to celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month this fall. The Greater Philadelphia Hispanic Chamber of Commerce (GPHCC) has officially announced the return of Dine Latino Restaurant Week, running from October 4 through October 10, 2026.
Now in its sixth consecutive year, the weeklong culinary initiative invites diners across the region to discover, support, and savor the rich culinary heritage of Latino-owned and operated eateries with exclusive dinner specials, discounts, and dining experiences.
Celebrating Culture, Flavor, and Community
Dine Latino Restaurant Week coincides with Hispanic Heritage Month (celebrated annually from September 15 to October 15) and honors the traditions, culture, and profound impact of Latino communities across the nation. In Philadelphia, Latino restaurateurs, bakers, and chefs play a cornerstone role in defining the local food scene, offering flavors that span Central and South America and the Caribbean.
"Dine Latino Restaurant Week provides an important opportunity to celebrate and highlight the incredible Latino-owned culinary destinations that are such an integral part of our region's vibrant food scene," said Jennifer Rodriguez, President & CEO of GPHCC. "For six consecutive years, GPHCC has been proud to bring diners and Latino-owned restaurants together through this promotion. This year, we are especially proud to offer patrons even more ways to engage, including the opportunity to win exciting prizes while discovering new restaurants and supporting local businesses."
