Welcome

I’m Maria Vazquez

Food blogger

Welcome to True Latin Eats. This website was started with two things in mind: cooking and Latin culture. Growing up watching my mom cooking up a storm in the kitchen everyday was more than just a meal – it was a family connection to our culture.

Our family has Puerto Rican, Mexican and Dominican roots, and those cultures are a part of our everyday lives. Here at True Latin Eats we will give you a behind the scenes look at the incredible variety of Latin foods. We’ll be sharing our family favorites, traditional dishes, everyday meals and recipes from other parts of Latin America.

I believe food is more than something we eat. It’s a way to share our culture, our traditions and our memories with people we love.
