Weird list. Most of these cities only cater to Mexican people.
NYC, and New Jersey and maybe even Boston should be top 4 along with Miami since all three locations have arguably the most “diverse” Hispanic populations in the country.
I’d make a case that NJ, NYC, and Boston have more diverse Hispanic populations than even Miami.
Eh. Hard for me to put Boston in the top 5. While it is very diverse, the population is around 570k. Good for 20th largest in the nation. I'd put Houston, Chicago, Dallas, and the Bay Area easily over Boston in this.

Yeah, Boston belongs no where near the top 5 on this list.
This thread should be renamed to “Mexico” America because a city that caters to only one group cannot be a capitol for an entire demographic of people.
The average Hispanic is not in tune with the west coast like that.
Also Louisiana is a sleeper in this convo. Very diverse Hispanic community down there
Lol no. It’s only sort of diverse because it’s historically small. There was a Puerto Rican wave around 2017-19 throughout the gulf that Louisiana was a part of. And a more recent Cuban wave
I always found it weird that the state line between Texas and Louisiana had such an immediate difference on size of the Hispanic population. Louisiana is starting to get huspanic immigrants but this is recent. Not big enough to be a capital

Considering most people are naming Miami as the Hispanic Capital of America, its painfully obvious that your first sentence is false.
And no Louisiana isnt a sleeper nor does it belong in this conversation. Its Hispanic community is tiny and still overwhelmingly Mexican with the exception of New Orleans which is more Honduran.
Lets look at Hispanic Growth between 2010-2020. All that had more than 20,000 of one group in growth are listed. Otherwise the top 5 are listed:
Looking at growth patterns, Miami is the very clear winner of the title of Hispanic Mecca. It is the one that stands out both in growth and diversity of nationalities.
Agreed. Those are the top 4 hands down. Miami is the clear number one. I would place LA at number two just because its culture is much more Hispanic than NYC on the whole. NYC is just too diverse. Houston is definitely number 4.

I agree that the Hispanic (specifically Mexican American) population in LA represents a bigger makeup than NYC. That said LA isn’t Miami where it’s head shoulders, torsoe and legs above the rest. LA is a destination for Asians obviously. It’s a black culture hub (although it’s unfortunately losing blacks). And has a strong white SoCal culture as well.
NYC has less heavy Hispanic areas than LA. But it has enough to where I let NYC’s Hispanic diversity give them the edge over LA
1. Miami
2. New York
3. Los Angeles
4. San Juan
5. Houston
Los Angeles has a ton of Latinos (aka ethnic Mexicans) but it doesn’t really have much influence on Latin America. It mostly has its own Chicano culture than being a cultural juggernaut in Latam. The real cultural diffuser would be collectively the Miami/New York/San Juan triangle. Houston is a rising influence.
Los Angeles never managed to channel its Mexican-ness in broader Latin American influence. Largely because Mexican culture doesn’t have the regional appeal of even a Puerto Rico (where salsa and reggaeton are still listened to across the region).

If Mexican food counts as part of Mexican culture, it has a pretty large cross cultural influence.

After this, it's mostly just wherever there's fast growing general Hispanic populations or where there's a more prominently established group.
