21 min - Episode 203 - Diana Noricumbo - Candidate Calexico City Council
THIS IS NOT AN ENDORSEMENT. My guest today is a Calexico High Alumni, a former Marine, a mother, wife, business owner and now candidate for Calexico City Council, Mrs Diana Noricumbo. Her family moved from Salinas to Calexico when she as 12 and she's been here pretty much ever since, except for those years she was in the service. If elected Diana hopes to bring her educational background and experience as a business owner paired with her drive to make Calexico a more business friendly city to help bring in more tax revenue to the city's budget. She is running her campaign together with Mrs Lisa Tylenda, unfortunately she was not able to join us in our conversation today due to a family emergency.

- Episode 201 - Adriana Marquez - Candidate Calexico City Council
THIS IS NOT AN ENDOSEMENT. My guest today is a wife, a mother, a grandmother, an educator, life long Calexican and now candidate for Calexico City Council. Although she does not consider herself a politician she decided to throw her name in for Calexico City Council because she was tired of seeing the same people get elected and nothing gets done to better Calexico and yet thing keep getting worse and worse. Her passing for sharing the same life experiences she lived growing up in Calexico with her kids and grandkids is what drives her to get involved in what she called this circus that Calexico politics has turned into.

https://quepasacalexico.com/54 min - Episode 199 - Aaron Lopez - Ursa
Today I had the please of talking to owner and chef at Ursa, chef Aaron Lopez. We talked about what it was like growing up in Calexico and how food was never something he envisioned himself doing as a career but at the same time his artist side has helped him be creative in the kitchen as well. Aaron left Calexico pretty much right after high school and spent the last 20 years working in Los Angeles, Hawaii and Austin working in fine dinning restaurants. During his stay in Austin he and his wife had some time to travel and they spent it exploring the Southwest and this is where Ursa became an idea that 5 years later became a thing.

https://quepasacalexico.com/34 min - Episode 196 - Martin Arellano Jr. - TacoMex
If you grew up in the 90's and early 2000's here in Calexico you probably remember the name TacoMex. The Arellano's and their food have been a staple in our community since 1992 when they first opened TacoMex. For most people who are in the restaurant business they know that owning a restaurant is a family affair and most of the time the younger members of the family end up hating it and don't see it as a future career, but not for Martin Arellano Jr. After being away for a while and running 3 successful food trucks in the San Antonio area he's come back to help his parents with Birria Red but only with one condition, if they let him bring back TacoMex to life and after having a successful soft open this past weekend the future looks bright for this new TacoMex era!

About Que Pasa Calexico
From the publisher's feed
Welcome to the Que Pasa Calexico Podcast!! Where we try to have candid conversations with people from all over the place who might have some kind of connection to the Imperial Valley. Sometimes this…
person might be a local artist, some other time the person can be the mayor of one of our towns. At the end of the day the main goal is to have a conversation where we learn, grow and try to make the Imperial Valley a better place!
