If the question is "Latin" which it is I'd have to go with Miami. If the question were Mexican Latin I'd have to go with LA, Houston, San Diego, San Antonio, Phoenix, El Paso, Tucson. I am suprised that El Paso, and San Antonio are not on the list. Maybe not as large, or overall numbers like Houston, Chicago, LA, etc..., but percentage wise more. Also those cities aren't the smallest on that list either.

There are too many different types of Latin-American culture to blanket it all in one location. Miami is very important for Caribbean Latin-American influence and NYC is for Puerto Ricans, and both IMO are for Dominicans. But LA, San Jose, San Diego and basically any large city in TX are far more influential on Mexican-American culture, and Guatemalan, Nicaraguense, Salvadoran, Honduran and just about any other Central or South American Latino ethnic group IMO are influenced more culturally by CA, particularly LA, than anywhere else. Chicago seems to have a lot of influence on Mexican and Puerto Rican-American culture as well.

Having watched Telemundo and other Spanish language TV networks, I would have to agree. They talk about Miami more than they do NYC.

I think Telemundo is based out of Miami.

LA for obvious reasons but there is a REASON why Miami is often called "The Capital of Latin America"!
