The Resilience of LA's Fashion District. With Cuernavaca's Grill owner Nayomie Mendoza.

On this episode of Taqueando with Bill Esparza, we head to LA’s Fashion District — a neighborhood under pressure but full of heart.

Bill sits down with Nayomie Mendoza, owner of Cuernavacas Grill, to talk about how the district is standing strong in the face of aggressive ICE raids targeting undocumented workers and vendors. Nayomie shares how the community is organizing, what support looks like right now, and why staying visible matters more than ever.

Bill also recaps some incredible meals from a recent trip to Baja California — including standout bites at Bivalva and Olivea — and reflects on a recent visit to LA’s Corredor Salvadoreño, where turnout was noticeably thin, not because of the vendors themselves, but because fear has cast a shadow on one of LA’s most vibrant street food corridors.
