Hispanic and Latinos eat different type of foods. As you know, in Mexico and Guatemala people eat 'tortillas' with meet, fish, beans and other ingredients. Countries in the Caribbean (e.g. Puerto Rico, Cuba, the coast of Central America and most countries in South America), the main meal is rice, beans, meat or fish and plantains (not 'tortillas'). Also, there are some national dishes from Spain like 'paella' (rice or noodles and meat or seafood) and 'tortilla' (Spanish omelette).

Latin American countries speak different languages, but their culture, traditions, food and music have a lot in common.
High-quality coffee ('café) is produce in many countries in Latin America.
