"After years selling tamales and atole from the corner of Junction Boulevard and Roosevelt Avenue in Corona, Evelia Coyotzi opened a standalone restaurant in East Elmhurst to expand her menu to menudo, weekend barbacoa, and other dishes that weren’t practical from a cart. The tamales remain the star—sold at $1.50 each, they’re some of the absolute best in the city—and her story includes frequent fines and arrests as she’s long rallied in support of street vendors." - Eater Staff
