Alvaro Ontiveros is an immigrant from Mexico who first came over to spend time with his friends. During the pandemic in 2020 Alvaro started Birria Master when he lost his job in the tea industry. He started in Ave 26 with his own version of birria tacos and then soon made his way back to Pasadena as a taco truck.
Before his taco business took off, Alvaro had spent his working time in the restaurant industry, eventually ending up specifically inside the corporate tea industry for over a decade. During his journey before Birria Master Alvaro experienced every facet of working in a restaurant, from being a dishwasher, busing, serving, cooking and then managing, Alvaro leaned all the skills needed to run his own business (having a business degree also helped).
Today, Alvaro's venture, Birria Master, has blossomed into one of the SGV's premier spots for birria.

Boysober
Have you ever wondered what life might be like if you stopped worrying about being wanted, and focused on understanding what you actually want? That was the question Hope Woodard asked herself after a string of situationships inspired her to take a break from sex and dating. She went "boysober," a personal concept that sparked a global movement among women looking to prioritize themselves over men. Now, Hope is looking to expand the ways we explore our relationship to relationships. Taking a bold, unfiltered look into modern love, romance, and self-discovery, Boysober will dive into messy stories about dating, sex, love, friendship, and breaking generational patterns—all with humor, vulnerability, and a fresh perspective.
