Seriously, where do the Latinas in this town hang out? For years now I've been hitting up the LES, EV, MeatPacking, SoHo, Tribeca, Midtown, UES, UWS etc. etc. and these areas certainly have no shortage of good nightlife, but they tend to be predominantly white (with some exceptions).
My buddies and I are really looking to meet some Latin women and we honestly have no clue where to start. We tried going uptown (Dyckman area) but were completely underwhelmed by the nightlife there...probably because we're used to hitting up a dozen or so packed bars at 1 am all within 2 minutes walking distance of each other haha (think the LES or EV on a Friday/Saturday night and you get the idea).
Anyway, if anyone has any advice on neighborhoods to meet Latin women (in or out of Manhattan!) please let me know!

Puerto RIcans have Americanized lately. Your best bet is either Dominican women that proliferate around Washington Heights/Inwood or West Bronx, or Andean South American that live in Queens. But be cautiouso with these women, there nothing but full of game, also they tend to be mothers that's if you enjoy milfs.
Try SOB's on Varick Street, for latin night(Friday's, I think). They give salsa lessons as well. I was there a couple of months ago, and it was packed full with my Latina sisters, and not that many men to be found.
It's a 30's and over crowd, so if you're in your twenties, and not into the older chicas, it won't be for you.
Problem is us Boriqua's are spread out everywhere, we don't hang out in the same places, we have mixed friends and
we go to mixed places.
In downtown Manhattan, try Latin Quarter, or Copacabana near Times Square, if not try iguana also near Times Square if you don't feel like going out of your way to Central Queens, West Bronx or Washington Heights or Inwood. LES is full of Muarry Hill, and Williamsburg crowd and mainly transient white populace with sprinkles of transient suburban blacks and Asians. But becareful with Latina's from NYC. Most of the time Latina's here are not into transient white men compared to Asian and black women unless she has a college education and or has head on her shoulder.
I forgot to mention, that Meetups have single groups for all age groups, and they have events all over the city.
I am a member of several Business Professionals Latino groups, that hold some really good events throughout the city. I am also a member of Single groups that do the same exact thing.
The Latino groups have quite a few non Latino members, and the Single groups are mixed. I have had great luck with the venues, and have met many great people, my only complaint is that it's heavily female, so as a guy, you would do great!
Lots of really, nice professional, beautiful single ladies at these venues!

The uneducated ones ended up young mothers for the most part. There are exceptions to that rule, however. A Latina friend of mine who got pregnant at 16 finished school, got a degree in Marine Biology and went into the Coast Guard.
On the flip side, 2 white friends of mine (one who likes to act Spanish) got pregnant at 16, but also did nothing with their lives. It can go both ways. A lot of the girls I grew up with either didn't have kids until marriage or still don't have them, and they are all mixed.
I agree with the suggestion of Latin Quarter (that still exists??) and Copacabana. There also used to be a few clubs in the Bronx, Ibiza Lounge, Havana Cafe, Salsa Con Fuego and Don Coqui in New Rochelle.
Also, I don't think the OP is only looking for places that are blatantly Latin themed, simply places where Latinas hang out.
