Hispanic Heritage Month is Year-Round at these Syracuse Restaurants
Conchas. Empanadas. Burritos. Flautas.
These traditional Hispanic foods are in the spotlight from Sept. 15-Oct. 15, when the country celebrates Hispanic Heritage Month. A time to enjoy the beauty of Hispanic cuisine, culture, and tradition, but for many Hispanic restaurants in Central New York, the celebration continues year-round.
Taste of Hispanic culture year-round:
So much of Hispanic cuisine is about storytelling through ingredients and sharing stories of culture and traditions. More than anything, it is about community – celebrating and being present with the people around you.
Only one month to celebrate these dishes is not nearly enough time.
In Syracuse, there are various restaurants that honor hispanic dishes and traditions year-round. VisitSyracuse compiled some restaurants to visit during this month, but I think they should be visited outside of the 30 days, too.

Restaurants to try:
Peruvian fusion cuisine in Downtown Syracuse, serving classic foods like ceviche and chicharrones, but also smoked salmon and maki rolls.
Taste flavors of the Caribbean in drinks and dishes in Downtown Syracuse, with vibrant music and tropical flavors.
A casual Caribbean and Puerto Rican restaurant on Westcott Street serving empanadas, rice and stewed meats
A traditional Mexican food restaurant on Erie Boulevard with steak and chicken tacos, burritos and flautas available to dine-in or to-go.
The celebration continues:
These are just a few of the many restaurants in Syracuse that have Hispanic foods and drinks year-round.
Even after Oct. 15, continue to support Hispanic restaurants that are sharing their culture and traditions with Central New York – whether that’s by trying a new dish, sharing recommendations with friends or learning the story behind a family-owned business.
