I always tend to think New York City (specifically The Bronx and parts of Brooklyn) or various urban centers in New Jersey (like Newark, Paterson, Camden, Trenton and Union City). I'm Puerto Rican, originally from Jersey, and our blend of New York and Puerto Rican cultures seem to immediatel ring "Hispanic" in my mind. One interesting thing to note is that I have fam in Chicago, two cousin who are or were married to Mexicans. When I visited their hoods (McKinley Park and Cicero) the overall flavor becomes much different than what it is east. I don't think many non-Hispanic Americans (or even some Hispanics) realize the difference between certain Hispanic cultures, like Mexicans and Puerto Ricans.
My parents immigrated here from Brazil and I never considered myself Hispanic or Latino, we speak Portuguese anyways, but my parents always taught us to be American first and be around Americans, although I am aware I am probably not considered White, I am still a country boy and damn proud of it!
I ended up growing up in a small country-redneck town and I love the country lifestyle. It is sad that so many "Hispanics" refuse to assimilate American culture and just segregate themselves to ethnic ghettos.

Yeah cicero is mostly mexican (with some central americans i belive). Humboldt park and logan square are the only authentic puerto rican places in Chicago. Actually they might be the only ones outside of the East coast.

Isn't Logan Square mixed up(Mexicans, Puerto Ricans and Cubans)?
Puerto Ricans are the largest Hispanic group in Cleveland proper and the metro. Florida has more Puerto Ricans than us surprisingly .
San Antonio is clearly Hispanic, but it's too Mexican.
Miami is really the most diverse city about hispanics Cubans dominate, but it's the favorite city for colombians, venezuelans, peruvians...
I used to think of cities with a high number of Caribbeans (NYC, Miami) but in New Mexico, the term Hispanic is often used to distinguish the local population of Spanish descent (culturally, if not entirely genetically) from Mexicans.
Therefore, in New Mexico, I tend to think of some areas as being more Hispanic and some areas as more Mexican.
Location: Waukegan,il. Approx 40 miles north of Chicago.

The first place for me would be LA. Although they are everywhere. At the same time people shouldnt look down on them like a lot of people do. Im a white male. I bought my house 5 yrs ago north of Chicago. The hole area was pretty much Hispanic. I found that they are no different than I. They are trying to take care of their family. They seem to do it well. They always treated me good. I just happen to be legal and most of them are not. They are goood people. You have bad in all. Now with all the forclosures. My neighborhood is mostly White. Now I prefer it that way. Its a known fact if most are white, the value on homes are up. Im not knocking Hispanics when I say that. It s just a known fact.
Well the name is Spanish and it is majority Hispanic. It seems to be about the largest city in the US with a Hispanic majority. Its current mayor, Julian Castro, is Hispanic. Mexican-American Henry Cisneros was their mayor in the 1980s. Although it might not fit as well as some cities.
I would have to say in bold very well justifies the Hispanic presence in that city.
I was actually being sarcastic to the person who said they thought San Antonio "for some reason", but it's all good.
