About Us

Los Cafetales creates content for the Latino community that reflects the resiliency, diversity, and joy within our culture. The name, Los Cafetales, is in recognition of the beautiful Central American country, El Salvador, and one of its largest exports, coffee. Based in Maryland, about 20 minutes outside of D.C., Los Cafetales covers local matters, as well as other topics that we love to read about (like, you’ll find essays here highlighting our favorite Marvel characters — hello, Cap! — and lists on why Parks and Rec’s Leslie Knope is just the coolest — Galentine’s Day, anyone?).

Under “The Press” category, you’ll find original coverage of matters pertaining to the Latino community; our “Entrecafecitos” category contains original coverage of all things entertainment, including movies, shows, music, sports, books, concerts, and festivals; and our “Ven y Dime” category features original profiles of Latinos, as well as original coverage on such topics as health, food, fashion, and beauty.

Los Cafetales was founded in May 2020 by Salvadoran-American Cori Rivera
