Who are we?

Angel and Araceli Nacipucha are the passionate co-owners of Los Barriles Restaurant-Sports Bar,  where their family business thrives on a shared dream that began six years ago. Their journey started when they met while working in the restaurant industry,  and shared passion for the culinary art. Despite the challenges of raising two young children, Araceli attended culinary school while Angel dedicated himself to making their vision a reality. With support from the Albany Park Chamber of Commerce and the Women’s Business Development Center, they successfully opened Los Barriles, which showcases authentic Yucatan cuisine and Ecuadorian dishes. Known for a vibrant atmosphere, where they hope to create a community hub for watching international sports events and enjoying live entertainment. At the heart of their venture is a commitment to family, as they aspire to inspire their children to achieve their own dreams.
