Today we’d like to introduce you to Karla & Antonio Rodriguez.
Hi Karla & Antonio, thanks for joining us today. We’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
Our story started when we moved to Austin, TX and realized nobody in the Central Texas area sold lonchesitos for us to enjoy. So we decided to take on that market and grow.
I’m sure you wouldn’t say it’s been obstacle free, but so far would you say the journey have been a fairly smooth road?
It has not been a smooth road; through the pandemic and just financially trying to survive, we’ve gone through our ups and downs, but our faith never wavered. We’re super excited to bring this new concept of food to the forefront and really give the street vendor in Mexico a voice in the great city of Austin.
Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know?
LONCHE is a love-letter to Mexico.
With our roots in Mexico and being raised near the border, our favorite past-time was being embraced in the culture.
The one constant meal was eating lonchesitos outside, under a makeshift tent, on the curb of the road, and sitting at a foldable metal table with the Coca Cola logo on it.
All of this while AMAZING street chefs cook in front of you. The aroma of grilled onions, juicy seasoned meat, and fresh-cut cilantro makes you appreciate every bite of that lonchesito.
THIS is for them…
We are excited to FINALLY be bringing this original recipe to the great city of Austin, TX – all while adding our unique options.
We’d love to hear about any fond memories you have from when you were growing up?
When our family would take us to Nuevo Progreso and we would be able to sit in the streets and enjoy lonchesitos.
