Built to make one thing easy

Black Owned Food LA started because the list didn't exist. Not a thread, not a screenshot passed around every February — a real, current list of Black-owned places to eat across Los Angeles, with the food front and center.

Every listing here is added and reviewed by hand. We check the name, the neighborhood, the website and the Instagram before it goes live, and we hold a listing back rather than publish details we can't stand behind.

The directory grows through the community: owners, regulars and neighbors send us places we've missed. If you know a spot that should be here, submit it. If you run a food business and want to be featured on our social channels, there's a form on the home page.

Founded and hosted by Tiffany Hinton in Los Angeles.
