REPEAT – Sysco To Go and Latin Restaurant Weeks Celebrate Houston’s Culinary Roots with Hispanic Heritage Night
Event highlights Houston’s Latin culinary traditions while supporting local restaurants and food entrepreneurs
HOUSTON, Sept. 29, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- On Monday, September 29, Sysco To Go and Latin Restaurant Weeks will host Hispanic Heritage Night, celebrating the flavors, traditions, and people behind Houston’s vibrant Latin food scene. Houston is one of America’s most diverse food cities, and its Latin culinary heritage is central to that identity. Harris County boasts the second-highest number of Mexican restaurants in the U.S., and many food historians trace the birthplace of the fajita—a now-beloved national dish—to Houston.
This event will feature tastings from Latin American food vendors—including samples from Goya—live music, and conversations with local restaurateurs about the challenges and opportunities they face in today’s dynamic foodservice landscape.
Additionally, customers will be able to tour the Sysco To Go store and sign up for a free membership to access great prices on a wide assortment of high-quality products.
