Started by a mexican immigrant who came to chicago back in the '40s as a trackman on the old illinois central RR.
Railroad work was a very common path for the earliest mexican immigrants who came to chicago back in the day. |
Steely that's amazing Chicago's had a tortilla factory since 1950. No doubt Mexican and Latin Americans are super important to maintaining vibrancy in the city limits that got abandoned by White people.
Most Americans didn't even know about "Mexican" food until a chain like Chi Chi's arrived in the what...the late 1970s?
