This decision wasn’t easy, but it’s time for our family to focus on the next chapter of our lives. We want to express our deepest gratitude for your support and loyalty over the years. Serving you has been our pleasure, and we will always cherish the relationships we’ve built at Mi Barrio.
Thank you for being part of our journey
Mi Barrio Customers We Love you all
Martha and Jesus Lopez opened Mi Barrio in 2003, about 15 years after moving to the United States from their native Mexico. Prior to opening the restaurant, Martha sold her homemade tamales at construction sites for many years.
Housed in a low-ceilinged, bright red building decorated with Mexican bric-a-brac, Mi Barrio serves a menu of traditional Mexican dishes including enchiladas, tacos, tamales and tortas, as well as pozole on Saturdays.
A representative for the restaurant did not immediately respond to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution’s request for more information.
