A thread:
4 years ago yesterday, @Yo_Muchacho had our very first public test event. We invited close friends, family, other people who I knew would give me honest feedback. We asked for no money, only their honest opinion. I served what my grandparents grew up making.
Delicious red chile enchilidas. Pork green chile enchilidas. Tostadas with ground beef and refried beans. It was all really good, but it wasn't me. And the reviews reflected that. One reviewer even called my enchilada a "mexican runza."
So I went to the drawing board. I grew up with a love of smoking meats, making pulled pork and brisket. So I thought, why not combine smoked meats with tacos and tostadas. We sold almost 200 pulled pork tacos for the very first time out of my garage during Eagle Garage Sale Days
We knew it was a hit. The real muchachos was born that day. My dear friend @Shaun_49 believed in me and helped us get everything set, my business plan, projections, finances, everything! He helped set me up for success and I wouldnt' be where I am today without his guidance.
Fast forward 3 years after our first event and we are again, shifting our business model to all deliveries in the midst of a pandemic. Because of our loyal following, we've managed success in what are some really dark times.
Looking back at my original business plan when filing for PPP loans and hardship grants, I saw that my goal after 3 years was to open a brick & mortar shop. I'd often dreamed about serving my food and great drinks out of a small quaint shop outside of downtown Lincoln.
One spot, this one spot though, has always been in my mind. It just so happened that their business was booming and they were moving up and on and I happened to find out that their lease would be up so I immediately acquired about it.
