YOLANDA'S TACOS
Authentic Mexican Food
The Yolanda's Tacos Story
Yolanda’s Tacos is built on a foundation of authentic Mexican tradition. In the summer of 1971, founder Bob Walker met Yolanda Lopez, a native of Jalisco, Mexico, in Chula Vista, California. As they became friends, Yolanda, a retired woman, affectionately referred to Bob as her “gringo” son and took him under her wing. She lovingly taught him the art of preparing traditional Mexican food and salsas, sharing recipes passed down through generations.
In honor of this cherished friendship, Yolanda’s Tacos was born, carrying forward the traditions and flavors that were shared. Today, we serve the fresh, authentic Mexican food learned from Yolanda, made daily with the same care and attention to detail.
