This week, Yris sits down with Victor Villa, founder of Highland Park’s beloved Villa’s Tacos. You might know him as the taquero from the Bad Bunny halftime show, but years ago, before he had several brick-and-mortars and before he found himself on the Michelin Guide’s Bib Gourmand list, he was a struggling entrepreneur selling tacos in front of his grandmother Chula’s house. Despite having maxed-out credit cards, working 16-hour days and being late on his rent, Victor pushed through it all and built a name for himself in his community and across the country.
