When I think of Latin American foods I think of tacos and nachos.
Chifa is a mix of Chinese and Latin food. Chifa was created in the late 19th century. It began when Chinese immigrants arrived in Peru. The immigrants brought with them their knowledge and the cooking traditions of China. When they added their ingredients and culinary customs of Peru, Chifa was born.
Puerto Rican cuisine was also influenced by other cultures. The African influence came to Puerto Rico in the form of enslaved Africans who were sent to work on sugar plantations in the New World. Coconuts, coffee, gandules (pigeon peas), and plátanos (plantains) are among the new ingredients introduced to Puerto Rico from Africa. Some scholars also believe that the practice of deep frying was introduced by enslaved Africans.
I would pefer the Puerto Rican food because of its African influence.
