Introducing the De Los 101

Like all of my professional work, this newsletter is fueled by coffee. “Latino-owned businesses are a big part of what makes L.A. special, and one of the best ways of taking in culture is through food and art,” actor Xochitl Gomez told De Los as part of our recurring “Mi Los Angeles” series, which asks prominent Latino Angelenos about their favorite Latino-owned spots. It’s in that spirit that De Los set about compiling a list of 101 Latino-owned and/or -led businesses and organizations that have created third spaces for Latinos in Southern California. “These stories have to happen somewhere, so why not compile a list of places where Latino life and culture is taking place?” In case you’re wondering why we decided to go with 101 places, that number is sort of a thing here at the L.A. Times, whether it be restaurants, tacos or West Coast experiences.
