"Beginning in 1987, Vicente “Chente” Cossio started serving botanero (seafood-and-beer hut) recipes from Acaponeta, Nayarit out of his Inglewood home; that original backyard service later inspired him to open Mariscos Chente El Original and, with his daughter, Coni’Seafood in Inglewood, and it also inspired others in the community to launch Nayarit-style seafood businesses from their homes." - Bill Esparza
