Latin Flavors is a manufacturer specializing in Hispanic frozen foods, with its headquarters located in an unincorporated area of Miami-Dade County, Florida. The company caters to customers throughout the United States, Latin America, and the Caribbean. Its core offerings consist of pastries and breads influenced by culinary traditions from Cuba, Puerto Rico, the Caribbean region, and South America.

The business was originally established in Cuba in 1921 by Valentin Garcia alongside his brothers, beginning as a bakery that experienced gradual growth. By 1956, they inaugurated a new facility called La Gran Via in Havana, which gained considerable acclaim until political upheavals in 1960 compelled the family to cease operations there.

Additionally, the company provides custom production services and currently produces private-label products for multiple prominent national clients.
