Hometown Hustler: Evelyn Barillas of Chocoflancitos Evelyn

Meet our Hometown Hustler this week⁠— Evelyn Barillas of Chocoflancitos Evelyn!

What did owners do before jumping into own business?

Before Chocoflancitos_Evelyn, I worked as a Behavior therapist providing services to individuals on the Autism Spectrum. I would provide services at school, home, and in the community for behavior reduction.

When was the business founded? 

Chocoflancitos_Evelyn was founded May 2020 during the peak of the pandemic.

A little bit of why you started your company:

Chocoflancitos_Evelyn started because I decided to take a risk and quit my job during the pandemic. After losing many hours of work due to the closure of schools and home session cancellations, I decided to pursue one of my dreams. I was struggling to survive financially so I decided to give it a try and start my small business. 

What do you offer? 

Currently offering many flavors and different topping decorations. On the menu, we have the traditional Chocoflan, Fresa-Flan, Red-Velvet Flan, Carrotcake-Flan, and Brownie-Flan. The topping options are fruit (strawberry & peach), Cookies & Cream, and Strawberry Crunch. I am open to special requests and will personalize a chocoflan as much as I can.

What happened during the pandemic? How did you pivot? 

During the pandemic my business really took off and grew. I was able to participate as a vendor in local breweries and coffee shops and gain more exposure. My Instagram page began to grow little by little and people became interested in my chocoflancitos. 

Where can listeners find you?
