Yelp's "Hecho in Richmond" event series is celebrating Latino-owned businesses across the region in honor of Hispanic Heritage Month.

Why it matters: There's still time to take part in it.

The latest: This week's event is at the Tamale Factory in Bon Air and runs through next Monday. Each participant gets two free food items and a fountain drink. 11am-9pm.

Then Oct. 9: "Tea Quiero Té" at The Queen's Library Tea room in Jackson Ward will have a "complimentary tea experience." 6-8pm.
Oct. 14: "Tango and Tannins" at Virginia Tango in Midlo will offer a free tango class followed by a wine tasting. 6-8pm.

Flashback: The series started earlier this month with a "Dinner Party at La Milpa" on Hull Street, which included the owner showing how to make Mexican picadillo and a game of Loteria.

Then they had an outdoor festival with curated menus at Con Salsa Venezuelan Cuisine in Henrico.

How it works: Anyone 21+ with a Yelp account can RSVP for future events, but spots are limited and aren't guaranteed until you receive a confirmation email.
