Latino-Owned Businesses in Dallas to Support in 2026

The most distinctive Latino-owned business in our Dallas directory is not a restaurant. Molino Oloyo mills masa, which means it is the kind of supplier a whole city's tortillas quietly depend on, and it is women-owned as well.

The rest of the list runs from a mother-and-daughter chocolate shop in Oak Cliff to a taco truck, two paleta counters, a brewery, and a hair salon that sells plants. Fifteen Dallas listings carry the Latino-owned tag. Hispanic or Latino residents are about 43% of Dallas, the largest single group in the city, so fifteen is a number about our records rather than about the city.

Quick answer

1. For chocolate, CocoAndré Chocolatier, a Latina mother-and-daughter team in Oak Cliff making European-style truffles with Mexican flavors.
2. For tacos, Chimalma Taco Bar downtown, Jalisco style and from scratch.
3. For tacos from a truck, La Barbie Tacos.
4. For a sit-down Latin dinner, Miriam Cocina Latina.
5. For paletas, Encanto Pops and Rico's Paleteria.
6. For pastry, La Casita Bakeshop and La Duni Baking Studio.
7. For coffee, Hola Cafe. For a market and cafe in one, Olmo.
8. For beer, Four Corners Brewing Co..
9. For a haircut and a houseplant, Crecer.
10. Our Dallas hub carries the full list.

Where should I eat?

Chimalma Taco Bar is the one to start with. Downtown, Jalisco-style, made from scratch, and one of only two paid-tier listings in this category, which means the owners claimed the page and filled it in themselves.

Miriam Cocina Latina is the sit-down option and is women-owned as well. Resident Taqueria covers the neighborhood taqueria end, La Barbie Tacos works from a truck, and ZUBI'S is a restaurant and bar.

Olmo sits between categories in the best way: part market, part cafe, so you can eat there and then buy the ingredients on the way out.

Where do I go for something sweet?

This is the deepest part of the list, and it is worth treating as a route rather than a set of options.

CocoAndré Chocolatier is the standout. A Latina mother and daughter making European-style truffles with bold Mexican flavors in Oak Cliff, and one of the two paid listings here. If you buy one gift from this guide, buy it here.

For paletas, Encanto Pops and Rico's Paleteria are both listed, which in a Texas summer is genuinely useful information.

The bakeries are La Casita Bakeshop and La Duni Baking Studio, both also women-owned, and Hola Cafe is the coffee stop.

What is being made rather than served?

Three listings, and they are the ones most likely to be new to you.

Molino Oloyo mills masa for specialty food production. It is women-owned and Latino-owned, and it is the business on this page that other businesses depend on.

Four Corners Brewing Co. is the brewery, and it is the one product here you can find on a shelf without visiting the business.

Crecer is the only listing outside food entirely: a hair salon and plant shop in one, which is an unusual combination that works because both are things people come back for monthly.

How much of this overlaps with the women-owned list?

Nine of the fifteen are also women-owned: La Casita Bakeshop, La Duni Baking Studio, Molino Oloyo, Chimalma Taco Bar, CocoAndré Chocolatier, Hola Cafe, Miriam Cocina Latina, Olmo, and Resident Taqueria.

That is the highest overlap rate of any pair of ownership tags in the Dallas directory. CocoAndré is also family-owned, so it sits in three categories at once.

What is not on this list?

Nearly everything outside food. There is no Latino-owned attorney, accountant, contractor, clinic, real estate agent, or professional service listed in Dallas in our directory, and Crecer is the only listing of any kind outside food and drink.

In a city where more than four in ten residents are Hispanic or Latino, that is plainly not a description of Dallas. It is a description of what has been recorded, and the recording came from restaurant and food-media sources. If you run a Latino-owned business in Dallas in any other category, you would be the first one listed in it, on a page people are already searching. Listings are free to add.

How is ownership determined?

Each listing shows a verification status. Publicly listed means ownership was recorded from a public source such as a chamber directory or the business's own description. Self identified means the owner told us directly. Certified means a third party verified it.

We never infer ownership from a surname, a photo, or the food a restaurant serves. That matters more on this page than most: a taqueria is not evidence of a Latino owner, and a Latino-owned business is just as likely to be a coffee shop or a salon.

Dallas also has guides to its women-owned, Black-owned, Asian-owned, and LGBTQ-owned businesses.

Common mistakes

Assuming the cuisine tells you the ownership. It does not, in either direction. Dallas has plenty of Mexican restaurants that are not Latino-owned, and this list includes a brewery and a plant shop.

Only looking in food. That is where our listings are, not where the businesses are. The gap is in the record.

Missing the supplier. Molino Oloyo is the least visible business on this page and arguably the most important one.

Treating a tag as a certification. Ownership tags are sourced claims with a status attached. Formal minority-business certification is separate and shown separately.

• Business names, categories, cities, and ownership tags come from published Inclusivity.org listings with city = dallas, queried 2026-08-15. Counts reflect that snapshot.
• Dallas's Hispanic or Latino population share, about 43% and the largest single group in the city, is from American Community Survey five-year estimates (42.6%) as reported by Neilsberg and Texas Demographics. Reported as "about 43%" rather than a false-precision figure.
