Fresh Cochinita Pibil Loved by Albany Park Locals
Albany Park’s most unique social destination
Angel and Araceli Nacipucha are the passionate founders behind Los Barriles. Their journey began six years ago when they met in the restaurant industry, bonded by a shared love for the culinary arts and a big dream.
Despite the challenges of raising two young children, Araceli committed herself to culinary school while Angel dedicated every hour to making their vision a reality. Supported by the Albany Park Chamber of Commerce and the Women’s Business Development Center, they opened Los Barriles as more than just a business—it’s a legacy for their children and a "thank you" to the community that helped them grow.
Serving Albany Park and beyond daily.
While our neighborhood is full of great Mexican food, Los Barriles stands alone. We are the only venue in the area that brings together the specific regional flavors of the Yucatán Peninsula and the heart of Ecuadorian cuisine under one roof. We aren't just a restaurant; we are a community hub designed for every kind of celebration.
Authentic regional cuisine: Experience the unique spices of the Yucatán and traditional Ecuadorian specialties you won't find elsewhere.
A true community hub: Whether it’s karaoke nights, dancing, or a friendly game at our pool table, there is always energy in the air.
The ultimate sports environment: We provide a family-friendly atmosphere to cheer on the Cubs, Bears, Bulls, Blackhawks, UFC, and international soccer.
Your event, your way: From comprehensive catering to a customizable private event space, we help you host milestones with a personal touch
