I can’t prove it…

But I’m pretty sure this song was inspired by someone flipping tortillas. 😂🌮🔥

Today isn’t just another post…
this is part of our story. ❤️

Our dream didn’t start 7 years ago…
it started over 15 years ago, with faith, hard work, and a lot of hope.

But 7 years ago, we finally said:
“Let’s go all in.”
And we opened our restaurant.

It wasn’t easy.

We went through the pandemic…
moments where we didn’t know if we were going to make it…
big sacrifices… hard decisions…

There were times we had to choose between one thing or another…
and every time, we chose not to give up.

While I was running the restaurant,
Don Chuy was working another job to support both our home and this dream. 🙏

My dad cooking…
my mom helping clean…
and my son Ariel, who was there from the very beginning, helping me without asking for anything in return.

We were a family fighting for one dream. ❤️

And little by little…
our kids became part of the business too.

Today, my son Jesús Daniel (Junior) left his job to fully join us…
my youngest, Aiden, works with us on the weekends (only 16 💪)…
Andrea also supported us with social media at one point…
and our daughters-in-law have also been part of this journey.

That’s why we always say…
this isn’t just a restaurant—
this is a real family business. ❤️

We went through hard days…
but we learned how to adapt…
catering, online orders, delivery apps… whatever it took to keep going.

Many businesses didn’t make it…
but we kept pushing.

And little by little…
we started seeing results. ✨

We’re not perfect…
but we are consistent.

And we are proud of what we’ve built. 🙌

Thank you to every single person who has been part of our journey…
your support truly means everything to us. ❤️

Tomorrow we celebrate 7 years…
and this is just the beginning. 🥹✨
