Top 10 most delicious Latino-Owned restaurants to experience the vast diversity of Hispanic heritage flavors north of Dallas.

Hispanic Heritage Month is a time to honor the culture, history, and contributions of the Hispanic community. Celebrate by exploring hidden gems and supporting Latino-owned businesses in Richardson, TX (just north of Dallas) this month and beyond. Here are some of my favorite spots you’ll want to check out for authentic food, vibrant culture, and unforgettable experiences.

  1. Anaya’s Seafood: Anaya’s offers an amazing extensive menu with great service and the perfect ambiance to enjoy Spanish music while you dine. The playlist is unbeatable, and their food and drinks are equally exceptional! Plus, they have a cozy outdoor patio where little ones can stretch their legs.
  2. Dominican Restaurant: With its insta-worthy aesthetic, this restaurant offers the perfect trifecta: Bueno, Bonito y Barato—good flavor, presentation, and price. If you visit on a Friday or Saturday, get ready to enjoy some bachata and more! Arrive early to grab a table and make the most of the experience.
  3. Venezuelan Restaurant: This relatively new addition to the area has quickly become a family favorite of ours. If you’re craving cachapas, arepas, or even a hearty caldo de res, this is your spot. Their parrillas (grilled meats) are a must-try, and the addition of fresh salads makes the meal feel a little more balanced. Don’t forget to try their delicious passionfruit juice and desserts too!
  4. Mena’s Tex-Mex Grill: Mena’s offers a fantastic ambiance, perfect for a family dinner or date night. The semi-dim lighting, live music, and large portions of delicious Tex-Mex dishes make it well worth the visit. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a special night out! Pro Tip: It’s worth the wait to dine in.
  5. Lima Taverna: While technically located in Plano, Lima Taverna is just a short 5-minute drive from Richardson and offers an authentic Peruvian culinary experience. From papas a la huancaína to ceviche and tallarines verdes, this spot is a must for anyone seeking flavorful comfort food. Live music adds to the lively atmosphere.
  6. La Cacerola Colombian Cuisine: If you’re craving the best empanadas in the DFW metroplex, La Cacerola is your go-to. Their authentic Colombian dishes will transport you, and they offer delivery.
  7. La Casita Bakeshop: La Casita is known for its delicious, fresh-baked goods that offer a taste of home. Whether you’re craving pan dulce or gourmet croissants, this bakery is a hidden gem for satisfying your sweet tooth.
  1. Salvadorian Cuisine – Papusas: If you’re in the mood for delicious, papusas, this Salvadorian restaurant is the place to be. Their authentic Salvadorian dishes bring the rich flavors of Central America to the heart of Richardson.
