In the overall culture, demographics, and architecture of the city?

LA is too big and diverse. while there is an apparent hispanic influence, there's also very apparent Anglo and Asian and persian influences as well...... San antonio not so much

San Antonio and especially El Paso are very heavily Hispanic and the two cities have a more Hispanic influence. Of course LA has large Hispanic presence but like others have mentioned LA is just too diverse and it's a global world city so it has a broader influence even though the Hispanic culture does influence the area but not as much as the other two cities mentioned.

San Antonio.

LA is far too diverse to have one group with so much influence.

San Antonio without question.

Houston vs LA is a more interesting comparison IMHO.

LA vs SA is more interesting. Houston's name isn't Spanish. It fell beneath LA before the fight ever started.

SA and LA are a wash. It starts at their origins and it never disappeared once.

I respect your opinion but don't agree with your logic 100%. Miami is not a spanish name but has just as much if not more spanish influence as LA. So no you can't rule Houston out just because the city didn't adopt a Spanish name.

There is a history of colonization by Spanish in LA hence the name Los Angeles. Miami and Houston don't have the history although they have caught up only in population. You won't agree that a city founded by the Spanish has more significance than cities settled by southern explorers?

Do Houston and Miami have info centers to their Spanish origins like the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels in DTLA?
