How did biden win any percentage of the latino vote in 2016?

That made me lol... I was like "dafuq you talking about?" And then I realized what you were asking :)

Not too sure on that, may be 2018 or comparing to Clinton numbers? Quote that has 59% and mentions hispanics below.

Biden received the support of 92% of Black voters, nearly the same as Clinton received in 2016 and Democratic candidates for the U.S. House received in 2018.

While Biden took a 59% majority of the Hispanic vote, Trump (with 38%) gained significantly over the level of support Republican candidates for the House received in 2018 (25%). To be sure, Hispanic voters are not a monolith; there is substantial diversity within the Hispanic electorate.
