Everybody knows the buying power of the Hispanic community and the immigrant community. I don't think it's necessary to put it out there as a form of expression as it relates to this movement.

We wanted to do this and be a part of the community. What better way to get to know others than be opening up a restaurant? We just wanted to do this to keep helping others.

I'm all about freedom of expression. I just think that this is the worst time to do something like this. It doesn't help the movement. We have to be pragmatic and we have to identify our allies. Business is an ally.

We aren't a burden, we're a part of the economy of this country. The economy wouldn't be the same without immigrants.

A lot of people came. A lot more than I thought.

I feel like we really accomplished a lot. The Hispanic community really enjoyed themselves, and the people that participated were really able to experience something different.
