The Antojo Industry Trade Expo, a new trade event for the Latino foodservice, retail and street vendor industry, ignited the industry with a turnout of over 1,000 buyers and 120+ exhibitors from across the United States and Latin America.

“This was a fantastic event,” said Paola Leal, marketing manager for Lunchitas, a cheese company based in Miami, Florida. “We were able to connect with so many potential customers and partners, and we’re already seeing a lot of positive results from our participation.”
The event, which was held on May 9-10 at the Pasadena Convention Center in Los Angeles, filled two exhibit areas in the convention center and featured exhibitors showing the latest products and services available to the Latino foodservice industry.
“We’re thrilled with the success of the Antojo Industry Trade Expo,” said event organizer Eric Jurado. “We’re already planning for the 2024 expo, and we’re confident that it will be even bigger and better.”
The event was endorsed and supported by the Latino Restaurant Association and Latino Food Industry Association, and was home to the Latino Food Symposium.
