History and tacos served at the Mitla Café

Along old Route 66 in San Bernardino, California, sits one extraordinary family kitchen. Mike Montaño is the co-owner of Mitla Café, opened by his grandmother, Doña Lucia Rodriguez, in 1937.

"I remember it almost as an extension of my grandmother's kitchen, or my grandmother's house," he said. "It's where I would see her most frequently. It was where I saw family most frequently. And to me, it was not a restaurant. It was not a business. It was just part of what made my family who they were."

After immigrating from her native Mexico in 1928, Rodriguez opened Mitla Café to quite literally feed her family and her growing neighborhood.
