The Dream

El Huarache Loco began 9 years ago out of my Tendernob apartment, offering my friends and family typical Mexico City style street food. I grew up in Mexico City, surrounded by the sights, smells, and sounds of my familys restaurant and the typical street food that was found all over the Distrito Federal (DF). I dreamed of one day opening a restaurant of my very own, a place where my own children could grow up with the food of my childhood. When we moved to the United States, I hoped that this dream would come true, and that wed be able to bring the taste of the DF to SF. I formally launched my business through La Cocinas incubator program in 2006, selling from farmers markets and catering, and now, El Huarache Loco is finally opening our very own restaurant space at Marin Country Mart in Larkspur, CA- just a ferry ride away from SF!

The El Huarache Loco restaurant is the realization of this life-long dream of owning a family-restaurant, and a dream for so many others: my husband, children, extended family and friends, who have all invested their livelihoods in the success of this business.

What Your Support Means

Now this is where you come in: through investors, loans, savings, and revenue from our current operations, we have been able to fund most of the restaurant build-out and design, but were not quite there yet. El Huarache Loco needs $25,000 to cover some final essentials and make this dream a reality. By supporting this campaign, we can purchase:

• Staff We need skilled cooks, servers and hosts to keep the restaurant running well on a daily basis. 
  
• Dcor Were all about bringing the DF to the SF, which means well need paintings, artisan pieces, and other items to give the restaurant the look and feel of Mexico City, and the Mexican restaurant from Veronicas childhood.
  
• Serving ware & small wares These things may be easy to forget, but its essential to have high-quality plates, glasses, silverware, pots & pans, spatulas, etc., that are going to keep the restaurant going.
  
• Opening inventory Before opening, well need to stock the restaurant with enough food to serve hundreds (hopefully more!) per day including you!
