In 2022, Tigard announced it was helping local first-time business owners launch their start-ups through a program called Launch Pod Business Accelerator. Harvest Moon Experience and West Coast Torta were two food-focused businesses selected to participate in the inaugural Launch Pod. 

In this episode, Joshua and Alfredo Carreon of the West Coast Torta Company talk about:

• Getting inspiration from their family and heritage
• Navigating the Launch Pod application process
• Creating a menu featuring tortas, rice bowls and house-made chips
• Visiting the food cart for the first time

You'll also hear about the response from the community since West Coast Torta opened in April 2023.
