Description

Today, we're taking you to East Boston to check out some of the great Latino-owned restaurants in the neighborhood.

East Boston is a neighborhood of immigrants, through and through. Latinos make up more than 50% of the neighborhood, and just shy of 65% of Eastie residents over the age of five speak a language other than English at home, according to 2020 census data.

Our local guide is Luz Gladys Oliveros. Gladys is the Latinx Advisor for Equity and Inclusion for the Mayor of Boston and has lived in Eastie for almost 30 years. This episode is part of WBUR's Field Guide to Boston, a station-wide effort to help you connect with the city's communities.
