From tacos to arepas: the food culture around US Latino matchdays

Walk_around_the_parking_lot_of_any_stadium_with_a_big_Latino_fanbase_and_you'll_smell_it_before_you_see_it: tacos,_arepas,_choripanes_and_more.

For_many_families,_cooking_traditional_dishes_is_as_important_as_the_match_itself. Uncles_argue_about_lineups_while_flipping_carne_on_the_grill. Kids_run_around_with_team_jerseys_and_plates_full_of_food.

These_traditions_bring_together_fans_from_different_countries_under_one_big_fútbol_umbrella.

Food_trucks_and_local_businesses_are_starting_to_understand_this,_offering_regional_dishes_on_matchdays.

In_the_end,_the_combination_of_good_food_and_good_fútbol_is_what_makes_matchdays_unforgettable.
