Josue Cervantes learned to cook from the women in his family. His mother shared recipes from her mother and his grandmother shared his great-grandmother’s recipes. Now, Josue wants to open his own restaurant someday.
“I’ve always told (my mom) that I want to bring back hidden gems that are not really represented here in the United States and that are commonly found in Mexico,” said Josue, 17. “I want to … bring out new flavors and bring out a new palette into people so they could have a little bit of an insight of what Mexico really is.”
