About
I’m building this platform with a lot of love, cafecito-fueled hustle, and a vision for lifting up the incredible Latin American and Hispanic-owned restaurants, cafes, bars, food trucks, and other spots that give our neighborhoods their unique sabor. Whether you’re here to explore new dining experiences or you’re a business owner looking for tools to grow, this platform is for you.
What’s Barriofied?
At its core, Barriofied is about community—our barrio. We’re here to celebrate the diversity and richness of Latin flavors, from traditional home-cooked meals to bold fusion concepts. While we’re focused on businesses rooted in Latin America and Hispanic culture, we’re also open to food entrepreneurs whose menus connect to those traditions in creative ways.
It’s free to join Barriofied, whether you’re here as a diner looking for your next favorite spot or a business owner ready to put your restaurant on the map. Yep, that’s right—free.
Tools for Restaurateurs
For business owners, I’ve made it easy to claim or list your business. But it doesn’t stop there. If you’re ready to take your online presence (and your profits) into your own hands, Barriofied offers tools and services to help you do just that:
- DIY Online Courses: Learn at your own pace with free resources tailored for restaurant owners and managers. Whether you’re brushing up on social media strategies, setting up online ordering, or exploring marketing hacks, these courses are practical and to the point.
- Online Ordering Systems: Let’s face it—third-party apps that take 30% of your profits aren’t looking out for you. With Barriofied, you can set up your own online ordering system, keeping more of what you earn while building direct relationships with your customers.
Why I’m Doing This
Barriofied is a growing project, and I’ll be honest—its limits are only as big as my capacity. But I believe in something bigger than just running a business. I believe in building solidarity with the hardworking folks keeping our culture alive through food. I believe in empowering communities, not corporations. And I believe that when we lift each other up, we all thrive.
That’s why I’ve created a space where small, independent businesses—whether they’re family-run taquerias, bustling food trucks, or trendy cocktail bars—can shine without breaking the bank.
For Diners
Whether you’re a local foodie or someone just curious about what Latin flavors have to offer, Barriofied makes it easy to discover places that fit your vibe—be it a low-key pupusería, a lively bar with live music, or a vegan-friendly taco spot.
Create an account to save your favorites, compare listings, and connect directly with restaurants for online orders, reservations, or catering requests.
Barriofied is more than a directory—it’s a platform to connect, learn, and grow. Thank you for being part of this journey, whether you’re here to support, explore, or contribute to the magic that is our collective barrio.
Let’s keep building something amazing, one listing, one plate, and one connection at a time.
¡Salud!
