From Food Truck to Family Legacy

Forty-six years ago, Rafael De Anda rolled out a food truck in Orange County to serve authentic, no-frills tacos — a bold move that launched Taqueria Hoy into a family legacy. Still serving his original al pastor and carnitas, made fresh daily, the restaurant has grown to three locations and food trucks, while staying true to its roots as a community refuge for late-night workers, families, and everyone in between. His sons carry on the tradition, adding new menu items and planning a new Tustin spot — plus their organic tequila brand, 4 Copas, is flying. It’s not just tacos — it’s a simple, affordable, and deeply rooted slice of Mexican culture that’s become a pillar of Orange County life.
