How to order
Max Grande (who recently added that final
e to his name as if to acknowledge his ethnicity) reports to Gabriel Suarez's house to do some yard work, but does
Suarez instead. Goateed look-alikes Austin Black and Vinnie Rocko take a sex break from picture-hanging chores in the hallway of an upscale residence. Mike Cesar
and Carlos Leo strip off their sweaty T-shirts after moving furniture, get aroused by each other's bodies, and move on to a ferocious exchange of blowjobs. Anthony
Gallo and Luis Garcia have a quick boink before beginning some sort of work on interior walls. After householder Rusty Scott discovers Santiago outside his door
watering the lawn, Santiago demonstrates his prowess with a hose indoors.
The best sex in this middling-to-hot collection of porn loops is oral. There's impassioned fellatio and fervent rimming. And there are scattered erotic flashpoints,
like the shot of Santiago spouting spooge all over Scott's penis. Each of the five pairs of partners seems felicitously matched. Admirers of uncut cock will find a lot to
admire here.
One troubling aspect of this and most of the recent Latino-themed adult videos, however, is their utter lack of interest, erotic or otherwise, in Latino cultural
identity or in the realities of Latino life in America. Many of these videos, marketed mainly to affluent Anglos, perpetuate the favorite stereotypes of that audience. With
the exception of Gabriel Suarez in the opening segment and white boy Rusty Scott in the closing master-servant scenario, everyone in
Viva Latino! appears to be a laborer hired to do menial work in the houses and yards of the upper middle class. What's wrong with this picture?
