Alejandro Barrientos is the Co-Owner and Executive Chef of Curb Side Bistro. He is a true hometown success story and an embodiment of hard work, entrepreneurial spirit, and giving back to the community.

Alejandro’s impact in our community is growing, just as our community itself is. What began as a single food truck operation, Curb Side Bistro’s portfolio has grown to include an additional food truck and a brick and mortar restaurant in Odessa and Midland, Texas.

Throughout each of these adventures, Chef Alejandro remains grateful and passionate in growing and expanding in this industry.
