      Honda, Toyota, BMW and other car manufacturers hire educated professionals with experience for a job that doesn’t require the company to go out of business because somebody the company hired doesn’t have the knowledge or skill set the companies have in place that make them stand out from other car manufacturers

    im a chef, I worked mostly in fine dining but since covid I branched out and started a business, I work for myself. Watching this, I have tears in my eyes man. Its just so beautiful to see the support from the family, the customers and the internet. As you can see, this type of work is not easy and like the son said at the beginning "its all about consistency".. I couldnt agree more that is what its all about when it comes to selling/serving food and it is also the hardest part about doing this work. Anyone can cook great food once, but doing it every single day, day after day is not easy, not one bit. My respects to the whole family, this the shtt right here

    Watching this video about taco street vendors in Los Angeles was truly inspiring. It's incredible to see how these families come together, passing down their knowledge and culinary traditions from generation to generation. Their dedication to serving delicious food while preserving their heritage is not only commendable but also a beautiful testament to the resilience and strength of the Latino community. Thank you for sharing this glimpse into their world.

    Growing up in a family business I can tell you it’s one of the hardest jobs but the most rewarding. Serving smiles good food and good vibes is the best feeling in the world. Sadly COVID took my parent’s shop out of business but it’s taught me many lessons about the business and contributing to society. Mom and pop shops are dying due to high costs so please support your locals

I love being Mexican especially because we have Mexico right next door and especially here in CA, our culture is on every single street.

    Hey @GarethLeonard
    So, This was my first time seeing any of your content, ever. The video randomly popped up on my feed so I decided to give it a watch and im so happy that i did. I'm a fan of Carnitas El Momo, I've eaten their tacos before and seen/read/heard their story told thru other channels and I can easily say that this is the best one I've seen, full stop. Your video brought me to tears.
    Just wanted to thank you for the video and give you serious props on your awesome storytelling, pacing, editing, etc, etc, etc. Idk how the fuuuuuuck I've never seen your stuff before and I'm hating TH-cam for not recommending your channel earlier. Just subbed, happy to start watching and supporting!

I am the 4th generation to learn my Families recipes and now sharing the knowledge with my Niece so she can learn as the 5th generation and cook for her Family and hand them down to her Children our 6th generation.
