 This is the original location? Yes, the OG. When you opened this place, I heard you didn't even want to attach your name to it. Yeah, at the time, this was not the level, I guess, in my mind that I wanted to be known for. And you chose this location because? It's right next to my mother's bodega, Plaza Latina, her Latin market. Turns out Taco Bamba wasn't entirely happenstance. The taqueria just steps from his mother's shop.
