The 7 Best Spots in LA to Celebrate the National Hispanic Heritage Month
This past September 15th was Mexico’s independence day (sorry to disappoint you, but its not on Cinco de Mayo), and with it came the beginning of the National Hispanic Heritage Month. Vamos Foods put together some of our team’s favorite local restaurants in the Los Angeles area.
