Thank you @chelseamarket for highlighting and celebrating Hispanic culture this past month, and for recognizing the achievements and contributions of Hispanic Americans in the community. #HispanicHeritageMonth #LOSTACOSNo1 #Repost @chelseamarketny ・・・ Next up in our #MeetChelseaMarket series, and to close out our celebration of #HispanicHeritageMonth, meet Christian, one of the founders of the city's favorite tacos - @lostacos1. Christian, is of Mexican Heritage, born in San Diego, CA and raised on both sides of the border. The idea for Los Tacos was born when Christian and his business partners moved to NYC in 2010 to pursue their careers in architecture. They were shocked that there was almost no authentic Mexican street tacos in the city, so they felt almost obligated to open a Mexican taqueria for the people of New York. "Everyone should have access to delicious tacos, specially in NYC." Christian told us. For Christian, the favorite part of his job is that he gets to offer a taste of home to his guests. Not only to the locals of New York City, but also to all the international tourists. "I always tell them, we don’t sell tacos, we sell an experience. The experience of the shack lined streets of Tijuana, where one could find dozens of bright, loud taquerias serving delicious tasting tacos." Christian believes that there is still a lot of room to improve when it comes to the general public helping the Hispanic community. One of the most important ways people can help more is by involving Hispanic residents in public decision making. "If our voices are not heard then we will continue to find ourselves lost in the limbo of governmental policy." We are so honored to have Christian and the @lostacos1 family as a part of the Market.
