Holy Taco is a culinary journey inspired by Ileana’s roots in the Mexican state of Jalisco. Ileana took up cooking at 10 years old. She showed her responsibility of cooking for her younger siblings while her parents were at work. At 14 years old, she lost both parents including her father, Alberto Lopez, a pianist and rockstar in the iconic 1970’s band ” Toncho Pilato’s” in Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico. The memory of her parents, symbolized by the esscense of “La Muerte”, serves as a guiding inspiration for her culinary craft. The encouragement from Bradley I helped her turn her dreams into reality, introducing the tradition of a local neighbourhood, sharing culture and culinary love on wheels.
