About this episode

The episode explores the journey of the Gonzalez family in realizing their dream of opening a food truck in Omaha, sharing their authentic Jalisco cuisine.

Margartia Gonzalez's food has always thrilled her family; so much so that it became a goal to open a food truck since they came to the United States from Jalisco in 2010. That dream was finally realized in 2023, and Omaha has absolutely fallen in love with the tacos, tortas, tamales, and especially the vampiro tacos coming off this truck! Hear the story of this family-run business and how they're using the food truck to share their culture with Omaha. 📍 Ma Mona Food Truck 3536 Q Street Omaha, Nebraska +1 402-706-1424 Mamonaomaha@gmail.com https://www.instagram.com/mamonaomaha https://www.facebook.com/p/Ma-Mona-Omaha-100091494742488/ This is a Hurrdat ONE Production.
