'We serve authentic Mexican barbacoa using brisket. The banana leaves give it a smokey flavor,' Abdelfattah said bringing a hot dish out of an oven. Hisham grew up on San Jose's East Side loving Mexican food. 'My favorite culture to be immersed in is the Mexican culture. And my first job at 14 was in a taqueria as a dishwasher and prep cook,' he said. Abdelfattah worked his way through Mexican restaurants - which led to culinary school, and a few more Mexican restaurants.

But also the fact that we have prioritized making the city safe and clean as we get back to basics,' added Mahan.
