Owners Teariana and Sammy Santos, away when it happened, returned to find their operation shut down and had to scramble to prep everything fresh. But this wasn’t just about lost cash—it was about community, as their authentic dishes brought joy to locals, and social media flooded with support. The theft, part of a growing trend hitting nearby trucks, spurred them to upgrade security and insurance. With a quick fix and community grit, they’re back on the road—proof that hustle and heart can overcome even the dumbest crimes. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
