Organizacion Civica Y Cultural Hispana Americana’s fifth International Latino Food Festival had a little bit of everything - food and desserts and dancing and music - to satisfy the palates and ears of anyone with an interest in Hispanic/Latino cultures, including those from Puerto Rico, Mexico, Peru, Argentina, Spain, the Dominican Republican and Cuba.

The one-day Food Festival ran from noon to 8 p.m. Saturday at OCCHA’s facility on Shirley Road .

People started lining up at 11:30 a.m., said Mary Lou Reyes, OCCHA executive, who said the primary purpose of the food festival is to enable the community at-large to experience and taste Hispanic/Latino cuisine, handmade by local residents, and music and dancing provided by local entertainers.
