Puerto Veracruzano is a beloved local business owned by Marco Méndez and co-owned by Araceli Orozco. All of their businesses operate under the same name, including a main casual restaurant with a bar and event space at 331 East Lake Street, Minneapolis, MN, 55408, and a bakery and second restaurant located just a block away in Plaza México, 417 East Lake Street, Minneapolis, MN, 55408. For years, Puerto Veracruzano has offered authentic Mexican cuisine, including a variety of seafood dishes and traditional favorites. The main restaurant is a welcoming place for friends and families to gather, enjoy a meal, and share drinks from the bar. The bakery is a relatively new addition but has quickly become a big hit, offering fresh bread and baked goods every day. It provides a variety of Mexican specialties like tamales, champurrado, arroz con leche, and more, becoming a favorite spot for those seeking authentic flavors and comforting meals. Located in Plaza México, the bakery and restaurant have become a vibrant part of the neighborhood. 
 
 
 However, Puerto Veracruzano has recently faced significant challenges. An increase in immigration enforcement in the area has led to a noticeable drop in customers, causing a sharp decline in revenue. Despite their best efforts and years of success, Araceli and Marco have found themselves struggling to keep the doors open. They have even started looking for other jobs to help support the businesses and their employees during this difficult time. The funds raised through this campaign will go directly to the businesses to help cover essential expenses. This includes purchasing ingredients and supplies to keep the kitchen and bakery running, restocking the bar, paying rent, and ensuring employees continue to receive their wages. Additionally, when possible, we will also use the funds to provide food and drinks to people during protests—whether it’s delicious hot drinks from the bakery or simple, filling meals for those fighting for peace. By supporting this fundraiser, you are helping preserve a vital part of the community and ensuring Puerto Veracruzano can continue serving its neighbors. Any contribution, big or small, will make a significant difference and will be deeply appreciated.

 Puerto Veracruzano es un negocio local querido, propiedad de Marco Méndez y copropiedad de Araceli Orozco. Todos sus negocios operan bajo el mismo nombre, incluyendo un restaurante principal de ambiente casual con bar y salón de eventos en 331 East Lake Street, Minneapolis, MN, 55408, y una panadería y segundo restaurante ubicados a solo una cuadra de distancia en Plaza México, 417 East Lake Street, Minneapolis, MN, 55408. Durante años, Puerto Veracruzano ha ofrecido auténtica comida mexicana, incluyendo una variedad de platillos de mariscos y favoritos tradicionales. El restaurante principal es un lugar acogedor para que amigos y familias se reúnan, disfruten de una comida y compartan bebidas del bar. La panadería es una adición relativamente nueva pero se ha convertido rápidamente en un gran éxito, ofreciendo pan y productos horneados frescos todos los días. Proporciona una variedad de especialidades mexicanas como tamales, champurrado, arroz con leche y más, convirtiéndose en un lugar favorito para quienes buscan sabores auténticos y comidas reconfortantes. Ubicada en Plaza México, la panadería y el restaurante se han convertido en una parte vibrante del vecindario. 
 
 
 Sin embargo, recientemente Puerto Veracruzano ha enfrentado desafíos significativos. Un aumento en la presencia de agentes de inmigración en el área ha provocado una notable disminución de clientes, causando una fuerte caída en los ingresos. A pesar de sus mejores esfuerzos y años de éxito, Araceli y Marco se han visto luchando por mantener las puertas abiertas. Incluso han comenzado a buscar otros trabajos para ayudar a sostener los negocios y a sus empleados durante este momento difícil. Los fondos recaudados a través de esta campaña se destinarán directamente a los negocios para ayudar a cubrir gastos esenciales. Esto incluye la compra de ingredientes y suministros para mantener la cocina y la panadería en funcionamiento, reabastecer el bar, pagar la renta y asegurar que los empleados sigan recibiendo sus salarios. Además, cuando sea posible, también usaremos los fondos para proporcionar alimentos y bebidas a las personas durante protestas, ya sea con deliciosas bebidas calientes de la panadería o comidas sencillas y llenadoras para quienes luchan por la paz. Al apoyar esta recaudación, estás ayudando a preservar una parte vital de la comunidad y asegurando que Puerto Veracruzano pueda seguir sirviendo a sus vecinos. Cualquier contribución, grande o pequeña, hará una diferencia significativa y será profundamente apreciada.
