In the US, the popular media usually refers to her as either specifically Dominican, or more generally Latina. First time I became aware of her was when she played Tony Soprano son's Puerto Rican girlfriend.
Among the general population here on the East Coast, as well as Miami FL, the common perception is the same as the media's.
Based on family members who live in the South, I would guess it would be the same (Latina).
