"Originally a wholesale tortilla and pizza factory in the East End, the business supplied the family with early income and was run on long, early-morning hours despite thin margins. Its production facilities and tortillas became the launching point for the family’s pivot into full-service dining when a portion of the factory space was repurposed into a small restaurant in the early 1970s, effectively seeding the eatery that later popularized fajitas and the signature green salsa." - Brittany Britto Garley
