About Us

We are two proud, first-generation Dominican immigrants living in the United States, with a deep love for our roots and a passion for sharing the essence of “la dominicanidad” with our community. From the moment we arrived in the U.S., we found ourselves constantly seeking out pieces of home—whether it was searching for Dominican restaurants, attending vibrant parties to dance merengue and bachata, or simply connecting with others who share our culture.

This longing for familiarity, joy, and connection inspired us to create ElPatio809RD. What started as a simple idea—to bring a bit of happiness to our fellow Dominicans—has grown into a mission. We aim to offer products that celebrate the rich and colorful tapestry of Dominican culture.

ElPatio809RD isn’t just about business; it’s about building a space that feels like home, where we can share our traditions, flavors, and joy with Dominicans and anyone who wants to experience the warmth and vibrancy of the Dominican Republic.

Whether you’re looking to relive memories of home with us or explore the beauty of our culture for the first time, we welcome you with open arms. Every part of ElPatio809RD is designed to make you feel the joy and pride of being Dominican.
