A company founded on tortillas and chili relleno burritos
Villa Juan knew nothing about making tortillas. Or burritos. Or run a business. He was a truck driver.
But it didn’t stop Juan and his wife Candy of the purchase La Azteca Tortilleria in Eastern LA over a decade ago.
Juan continued his job as a truck driver for the first five years because they didn’t have a lot of business. What they had was a lot of obstacles including fierce competition and a very outdated restaurant in need of a major renovation.
“Fue difÃcil al principio,†Juan said. “It was hard at first.”
But years of hard work have paid off. Loyal customers walk miles for flour tortillas and chili relleno burritos from La Azteca. The couple turned down offers to buy the business because it prospered. And recently, La Azteca was added to the Michelin California Bib Gourmand guide, which features more casual and less expensive restaurants.
