“It's tough enough to run a restaurant. We all know most restaurants fail in the first year, and a lot of those are probably independents that are trying to create their niche. Be passionate, have fun, understand there's going to be setbacks.

With inflation, cost of commodities, and tight labor, it's hard to look and say, "I'm having a lot of fun,"  but then we bring that food truck out and we see the smiles we get. You can't imagine the little kids who want to come up and just look inside the cab and hear the diesel horn go off. You know what? It's good to have fun. When you're having fun, your crew's having fun, your guests are going to have fun. Guests who have fun and have great food, they come back.” - Pete Pascuzzi, CEO at Mexican Restaurants, Inc.
