As La Villa Hispana continues to crystallize as a cultural hub for Cleveland's largest Hispanic/Latino population, the neighborhood is amplifying the sounds, sights, and smells that make it so special—and events like La Placita and new spots like Las Tienditas are enticing all of Greater Cleveland to experience them. 

As part of our On the Ground reporting series in La Villa Hispana, we partnered with Cleveland.com to create a "A Taste of La Villa Hispana" video that spotlights local food entrepreneurs and their stories. Shot by Cleveland.com videographer John Pana and produced by FreshWater editor Jen Jones Donatelli, the video offers a true taste of this emerging neighborhood.
