Who we are &
How we Roll

The Latino Restaurant Association (LRA) supports and promotes restaurateurs, small businesses and the entire Latino restaurant community to ensure the equitable economic growth of the sector.  The Latino restaurant community is strong in Los Angeles and coming together for critical issues in our business community allows everyone to thrive. LRA community members come together to network with industry pros, market their brand and learn new ways of making their business more efficient. We are committed to going above and beyond for our members and community.

We strive to create a global “all - inclusive” Latino Restaurant platform for the world.
