Next week’s dinner date night is about to get a lot cheaper, plus it comes with a chance to support the vital Latino restaurant scene in the city.

Starting Monday, Sept. 18, through Friday, Sept. 22, dozens of restaurants across the region — from North to South Broad Street and Chadds Ford to Camden — will offer deals for diners during Dine Latino Restaurant Week. Diners will get a free appetizer or dessert when they buy two entrees.

The five-day event is hosted by the Greater Philadelphia Hispanic Chamber of Commerce (GPHCC) alongside partner organizations Aramark, AAA, and local restaurant delivery consultant, DeliveryGuys, whose contributions allow restaurants to run the promotion at no cost. According to the GPHCC, events like Latino Restaurant Week and monthly Dine Latino Chef Tastings are meant to treat existing customers of these fine establishments while bringing in newcomers to explore their offerings and celebrate the city’s Latino culture and cuisine.

“This year’s event is a testament to the unwavering dedication of our Latino-owned and operated restaurants that have become essential contributors to our city’s rich gastronomic tapestry,” said Jennifer Rodríguez, president & CEO of the GPHCC.
