It was a rainy and bustling night in Downtown San Jose, California. There were people at every corner scurrying away in search of a restaurant to eat or for some, their hotel room to sleep. I was part of the plethora of people in search for a restaurant that fit my party’s mood.

The man under a floor umbrella behind the food stand appeared to be elderly, but lit up with delight as we approached. Upon arriving our party had ordered 3 quesadillas, 4 tacos, and a burrito. Energized with the power of money, the old man started the process of making our food. Our food was finished after what had seemed like a few minutes. The smell of the small area we were in was mouth watering. Everyone eager to taste it had taken their first bites and described it as the best street food they’ve had.
