  In recent years Florida has experienced an upsurge in immigration from the Dominican Republic. Newcomers from this Caribbean nation bring their customs and traditions with them when they immigrate to the United States. Restaurants have opened in Miami that cater to people of Dominican ancestry as well as non-Dominicans who appreciate the cuisine's combined influences of Spanish, African and Taino cooking with hints of Arab, Italian and Chinese influences.
