A local couple makes the leap from food truck to brick and mortar with Naco 210 at Los Patios
Lizzeth Martinez, Zuriel Estrada, 8, Emiliano Estrada, 10, and Francisco Estrada are pictured at the family’s restaurant.The husband-and-wife team of Francisco Estrada and Lizzeth Martinez jumped into San Antonio’s culinary scene in 2018 with their Naco Mexican Eatery food truck at a former gas station at the crossing of Loop 410 and Nacogdoches Road.
Their cooking also attracted the attention of the owners of Los Patios, a retail complex in a wooded area along Salado Creek that has a secluded feel despite being directly north of Loop 410. Its owners asked whether they would be interested in opening a restaurant in a building that had become available.
The couple recently sat for an interview to discuss the challenges of buying equipment during the pandemic, where they get their ingredients and how San Antonians react to authentic Mexican cooking. The following has been edited for brevity and clarity.It’s a challenge for sure. Moving to a brick and mortar in this time of the pandemic is more difficult because there’s no used equipment. You can’t find it. It’s very scary.
