I'm probably wrong. Seems like more of my Hispanic friends are republican than not.
You must have a lot of Cuban friends.

In California, New York and Texas the Hispanics there (mostly from Mexico and Puerto Rico) are overwhelmingly Dem.

Other Hispanics, however, do tend to vote Rep.

I guess it has a lot to do where you see yourself in the socio-economic ladder. If you see yourself near the bottom you vote Dem in exchange for their promises of more welfare, more bneefits and less responsibilities.

If you see yourself at or near the top of the ladder, you vote Rep because you believe in self-reliance, personal responsibility and a hands-off government.
