Arriola was surprised by the recognition.
“Astounding…I’ll tell you,” he said. “I couldn’t believe it.”
Garcia said the long-time establishment was an example of immigrant hard work and a realization of an “American Dream”.
“It’s truly as little or as big as you see the shop,” he said. “This is a tortilleria empire that this family has established, and we’re happy to be able to celebrate this moment with them.”
